Love & Relationships
For partnered Sagittarius, the New Moon on the 16th in your 6th house is a great time to improve daily routines together, like cooking or exercising as a team. Venus enters your 8th house on the 19th, deepening emotional intimacy and shared resources—perfect for discussing joint finances or making a commitment.

The Full Moon on the 31st in your 1st house boosts your confidence, making you magnetic. However, avoid power struggles around the 5th when Mercury squares Pluto; keep conversations honest but gentle.
