SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 22)
The following is often attributed to the poet and mystic Rumi: “Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: At the first gate, ask yourself ‘Is it true?’ At the second gate ask, ‘Is it necessary?’ At the third gate ask, ‘Is it kind?’” This could well be your mantra this month as your tongue is a lot looser than usual. Once Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio, you’ll be reflecting on that first question a lot; what does it mean to be true? How is the truth different from fact? Do all “truths” need to be spoken? What makes you the appropriate person to speak it?

Hi Cory: Curious why Sagittarius tongues are “looser” this month? Is there something planetary behind that?
