With the holiday season upon us, your calendar is filling up fast with festivities galore, and it feels like your day-to-day is suddenly a little more dramatic, free-spirited and larger than life. You can bet that Sagittarius season is here. When the sun moves through the mutable fire sign and ninth sign of the zodiac, as it does annually from mid-November to mid-December, it’s natural to feel a surge of optimism, joyfulness, buoyancy and passion. The sign of the Archer is known for being thoroughly unfiltered and eager to highlight the truth and to seek justice, so these themes might also be apparent over the course of Sag season, too.
You can thank Jupiter, Sagittarius’s ruling planet, for the wave of go-big-or-go-home energy that’s hard to deny this time of year. The planet of abundance oversees philosophy, expansion, gratitude, hope, mental and spiritual growth and expansion. That said, when the sun is traveling through the Jupiter-ruled fire sign, you could crave the opportunity to soak up knowledge, work with a mentor, get behind a big, bold, important cause, be more direct about your dreams and desires and step out of your comfort zone in order to broaden your horizons.
Here, all you need to know about Sagittarius season 2025 so you can make the most of it.
When is Sagittarius season?
Every year, you can count on Scorpio season to occur from approximately November 21-22 to December 21. In 2025, Scorpio season will be in effect from November 21 to December 21.
What to expect during Sagittarius season
As the transition period between autumn and winter, the sun’s time in Sagittarius aligns beautifully with so much of what we love about the holiday season. We’re more focused on travel, mixing and mingling, entertaining others and being jovial, embracing gratitude and moving beyond the mundane and minutiae of everyday life to dream about what the big picture could look like. It’s fitting that Thanksgiving falls during Sag season, as does lots of fun-filled prep for the winter holidays.
Sagittarius is also one of — if not the most — outgoing and unfiltered signs of the zodiac, so after Scorpio season, known for bolstering secrecy and privacy, has run its course, you could be itching to share your feelings — or perhaps even more so, your opinions — in a direct, unfiltered, even blunt way. This time of year was made for not only identifying the truth of any situation but also doing everything you can to shout it from the rooftops. If you’ve been holding back on making a play to define a relationship or want to be forthcoming with a higher-up about your aspirations, now’s your chance.
And because Sagittarius is associated with the Ninth House of Adventure and Higher Learning, this season was made for shaking up mundanity and honing skill sets that will promote personal, spiritual and mental growth.
The 2025 Sagittarius season starts slow and introspective
When Sag season kicks off, Mercury will be retrograde in dynamic, powerful fixed water sign Scorpio, setting a tone that’s self-reflective and emotionally-charged. So, for about a week — until it goes direct on November 29 — you’ll be pulled back into the past, focused on tying up loose ends and grappling with delays and crossed wires versus plowing ahead as action-oriented, fiery Sagittarius would prefer to do. (Mercury retrograde periods can also be a fantastic opportunity to slow down, rest, recharge and look in the rearview mirror so you can move even more definitively and confidently into the future — something my book Mercury Magic: How to Thrive During Retrogrades and Tap Into the Power of the Messenger Planet, covers extensively.)
The best way to navigate this combination? Do your best to reflect on past lessons that can lead to future growth. Being honest about toxic dynamics or power struggles can pave the way to healthier, happier relationships and experiences.
The season hosts the luckiest day for love this year
On November 26, Venus, the planet of relationships, in Scorpio will form a harmonizing trine to fortunate Jupiter in fellow water sign Cancer, setting the stage for romance, positivity, luck and creativity. It’s easier to kick back and welcome any opportunities for self-expression and pleasure. If you’re single, this is one of the most beneficial planetary sync-ups for meeting someone new, and if you’re attached, the heartfelt, upbeat, beauty-loving vibe of the moment could magnify chemistry with your partner.
Here, how Sagittarius season 2025 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
Aries
After a season that pulled your focus toward heavy emotions and financial matters, you can get out into the world to play, explore and soak up knowledge that could lead to personal growth, thanks to the sun moving through your adventure zone. You’ll be relieved by the fiery, passionate nature of this moment, because it aligns so well with your own. Try to find time to learn about philosophies and perspectives that differ from your own and embrace an open-minded point of view, which could lead to broadening your horizons and taking your goals to the next level.

Prepare to feel a surge of confidence that makes it easier to work through deep-rooted emotions and nurture intimacy within your closest bond, because the sun is moving through your emotional bonds and shared resources sector. Whether you feel like you need to ask for something new from your partner in order to feel more comfortable and secure, you want to explore different fantasies in the bedroom or you’re eager to overhaul your approach to a joint financial aspiration, this transit was made for building momentum on any of these aims.

Gemini
As social as you are, you’ll rarely pass up the chance to connect with a significant other, loved one or dear friend, but pairing up will be an even more prominent theme as the sun moves through your partnership zone. You can bring a more self-assured energy to any undertakings you’ve been pursuing alongside someone else, and you’ll also find that quality time spent one-on-one boosts your mood and well-being. Just bear in mind that you’ll need to get through a bit of communication rockiness associated with your ruler Mercury’s retrograde until November 29. Once it moves forward in your partnership zone, too, as of December 11, the dust settles, and you’ll feel like you’re on track.

Cancer
Sure, you’re tempted to snuggle up with your favorite blanket and binge your favorite holiday movies this time of year, but you may also feel capable of being super-productive, because the sun is now in your health and daily routine sector. You can take your workouts to the next level or try a new fitness routine, if you’re curious about it, and check a bevy of to-dos off your list. And if there’s an organization project you’ve been considering diving into, you’ll have the wind in your sails now — and you could find you’re especially motivated around December 19, when your ruler, the moon, is new in this zone.

This is a season you might look forward to all year long, because it could really crank up the volume on your creativity and playfulness, given that your ruler, the sun, is now in your romance and self-expression zone. You can be more spontaneous, fun-loving and artistic-minded, and you’ll be empowered to put dreary deadlines on the back burner in order to lean into projects that make your heart happy. Just bear in mind that around December 16 and 20, the sun does square off against Saturn and then Neptune in your intimacy sector, which could fuel confusion within your closest bond. Take heart that you can trust your intuition to guide you to a healing resolution.

In fact, you’ve likely been working on setting boundaries as a result of Mercury’s retrograde in this zone. Once you’re clear on what you want your commitments to look like, you can set a powerful, related intention around December 19’s new moon.

Welcome to your season, Sagittarius! With the sun moving through your sign and self-image sector now, you’ll feel like your typically gregarious energy is amplified and your desire to go big or go home is off-the-charts.

This could be a quieter, more restful and dreamy season for you, as the sun is in your spirituality sector now, bolstering your confidence around nurturing your psychological well-being. You might be more inclined to take a step back from putting your nose to the grindstone so aggressively, prioritizing any chance to recharge, maybe through meditation, yoga or just extra naps. As industrious as you are, this could strike you as lazy or unproductive, but it’s actually setting the stage for you to be more productive and successful once your season is in full swing, beginning on December 21.

With the sun moving through your friendships sector now, you’ll want to spend time with like-minded connections moving toward a finish line you’re all fired up about crossing.

Because this zone also involves your long-term wishes, you can also lean on friends or colleagues to help you explore the best strategies for making long-term wishes come true. You may be prepared to make a move around the December 19 new moon here.

You might find that you can move the ball forward on projects that were previously stalled, which in turn invites the chance to make your mark.
