SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 22)
Walt Whitman, the father of American poetry, wrote, "There was never any more inception than there is now, / Nor any more youth or age than there is now." Translation: We're always at the beginning of our lives; we're as young and as old today as we'll ever be. In recent years, you've been feeling the passage of time. And more lately, you're starting to feel the benefits of time and of experience, which is a sign of maturity. Something in your astrology is leading you to take a wider perspective, and to see yourself as part of a much larger context than you ever have. Your growth process has brought you close to the inner core of your spirituality, and this is providing you with information about how to use your time wisely. Your current solar chart describes the meeting of your inner child with your inner parent. It's time to reconcile the two, and to emerge into your life as an independent and autonomous adult. You are done parenting yourself. You don't need to parent anyone who is not actually your own child, and even that has its limits. This means guiding yourself based on your own values and principles. It means making decisions based on what you know matters to you, rather than the influence others try to have on you. Commitment begins with honoring your promises to yourself.
