Georgia Nicols' Sagittarius Forecast for 2006

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln (1809- 1865)

The Year 2006

In 2006, Saturn is in Leo for the entire year for the first time since 1977. (Many will see a correlation.) This will give enduring form to creative expression! (The movie Star Wars, which opened in 1977 has become part of our culture's artistic icons.)

Saturn will encourage a concrete expression of theatre and the arts at both personal and civic levels. It will also encourage a stricter more traditional methodology in schools.

Jupiter's passage through Scorpio will alter how we deal with death. In the 50s, we built schools and playgrounds for the Baby Boomers. This year we will lay the groundwork to help them die with dignity and loving support. (Death will be a big business by 2013-14.)

In many ways, new opportunities will arise out of situations of loss. "May the Force be with you."

The Envelope Please...

You're a maverick; but you're one of three categories: the published university junkie; the party-hard gambler; or the Gore-Tex granola crowd. Some are all three - but every one of you is an optimist. You're focused on the future but you live for today. You believe in human decency and kindness to animals. Freedom and optimism are survival issues. You love the outdoors. You're always active. You're broad minded, tolerant and philosophical about life. You want to learn! You seek adventure! You travel more than other signs. And your gift of the gab lets you dish out baloney disguised as food for thought. You're blunt (but you think it's refreshing candor.) You're witty and breezy; however, you know that everyone likes a kidder but nobody lends him money.

Your Shady Past

You changed your course in 1986. After a soft shoe shuffle of homes and jobs in the early 90s, you solidified your home base in 94-95. (Although your chances to do that were better in 2001-02.) That was also a significant time for partnerships and close friends. Some bit the dust then. (Ever since Pluto entered your sign in 1996, partnerships have been brutal.) Travel and publishing were beautifully blessed in 2002-03. This offset losses from partners changing jobs then. Career opportunities blossomed in 2005. Many of you traveled then or returned to school. Last year was a popular year. Friendships flourished.

Which brings us to 2006

This is a year of preparation. It's time to get serious about what you really want. And you see what you want. Your goals are almost within your reach. Recently, your ruler lucky Jupiter sailed across the top of your chart triggering all kinds of opportunities. Most of these opportunities were career related, but they also enhanced your chances of realizing dreams that were important to you. 2006 is the year to lay the groundwork through travel, dealing with foreign countries, getting further education, and dealing with publishing and the media to promote your goals. This is also a spiritual year for you. Honesty and truth are paramount for your sign. (Caution: "If you speak the truth have a foot in the stirrup.") Many people don't want to hear the truth. But you know that half-truths and sealed lips are the first threats to freedom, and freedom is something you value. In November this year, moneybags Jupiter enters your sign for the first time since 1995-96. Yay! This is what you've been waiting for!

Is the future like the present only longer?

Your wonderful time of harvest and fruition will arrive in 2007-08. At that time, Saturn will move across the top of your chart ripening all the seeds you've planted since 1994. It will be a time of reaping what you sewed. To enhance your good fortune even further - your ruler Jupiter will remain in your sign until December 2007. Yeehaw! That's when you gotta make it happen. However, success doesn't stop then. It just enters the door and gets comfortable.

In a galaxy far far away

Since 1996, Pluto in your sign put all committed partnership to the supreme test. It finally leaves Sagittarius in 2008. You will notice a difference in your life after that. Things will mellow out. An intensity that you lived with for years will hugely diminish. By 2013, you will begin to dismantle much of what you've created since 2001. You'll get ready to move on to something completely new. "One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." (Andre Gide.)

My Mantra for 2006

80% of success is showing up.
(Woody Allen)

Be the best you can be

The lowest manifestation of your Sagittarian energy is the con artist. (You can sell anyone the Brooklyn Bridge.) But the highest expression of your sign is the guru. The bottom line is this: you know how to dazzle people with your words. You inspire them. You don't go looking for followers; they find you! You're educated and informed. (Self-taught or credentials.) You can see the truth at a great distance. Most people can't. You also grasp the futility and pain intolerance and petty judgments. No matter what your wage-earning job is -- you're on this planet to teach others to respect one another without prejudice. You know many paths lead to the same truth. Through your hunger for knowledge, travel and experience of other cultures (and perhaps formal education) -- you see the common thread that runs through all religions, philosophies and societies. Because you fear being trapped, you can exist within yet separate from the norms of society. People think you know more. And you do! You see what is common to all. Sagittarians seek the truth; then find the truth; then teach it. (Pretty heady stuff.)

Stuff Every Self-respecting Sagittarius Knows

Your symbol is the Centaur - half horse/half man holding an arrow poised for flight. Your ruling planet is Jupiter. Sagittarius is Masculine and your element is Fire. You are a Mutable sign. (The Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. They blend. They fit in. They style flex and morph to whatever's going on. They're versatile and adaptable. "Are we packing tropical?") Your sign rules the Thighs, Hips, Gallbladder and Liver. Small wonder Sagittarius rules the Ninth House of Travel, Foreign countries, Publishing, the Media, Medicine and the Law. You're long-lived and wise. You believe if you rest -- you rust.

Sagittarius in the Bedroom

Textbooks refer to you as the bachelor sign. (That's because when you wink, bachelors come running.) Just kidding. But you are a tease! (Oh yeah.) You work hard and party hard. (You've got a juicy diary stashed somewhere.) You're a sucker for anyone who tickles your thighs. (Love those garter belts and thigh high boots.) You're always up for a good time -- but they gotta make you laugh to get you in the sack. Hey -- sex is the most fun you can have with your eyes closed! But you're leery of commitment. You love the chase! You'll never sign anything without an escape clause. You keep your bag packed and your horse saddled. After all, it's a big world out there. In you're heart, you're an alley cat on the prowl.
