    Sagittarius season begins on Sunday, 22 November 2026 at 07:23 UTC, when the Sun reaches 240 degrees of ecliptic longitude, the start of Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac. It ends on Monday, 21 December at 20:50 UTC, the exact moment of the December solstice, when the Sun enters Capricorn.

    If you were born on 21, 22 or 23 November, or on 21 or 22 December, your Sun sign depends on the exact time and place of birth, because the boundary shifts slightly from year to year. Kosmo’s free report calculates it from your birth details.

    What is happening in the sky

    The Sun appears to move about one degree a day along the ecliptic as Earth orbits it. The signs are 30-degree segments of that path counted from the March equinox, which is why Sagittarius season ends exactly at the December solstice: the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere.

    The constellation is another matter. The Sun does not reach the stars of Sagittarius until 18 December, after crossing Scorpius and Ophiuchus. Astrology’s sign and astronomy’s constellation share a name, not a boundary.

    What Sagittarius season represents

    In astrology, Sagittarius is a fire sign ruled by Jupiter. Its traditional themes are exploration, learning, honesty, humour and the search for meaning. A Sun season is read as a month-long emphasis on those themes for everyone, not only for people born under the sign.

    This year the season opens two days before the 24 November full Moon in Gemini, so it starts with the Sun and the full Moon facing each other across the Sagittarius–Gemini axis. Mercury enters Sagittarius on 6 December, and the new Moon of 9 December falls at about 17° Sagittarius.

    Relationship reflections

    • Plan something new together, even something small: a different walk, a new recipe, a day trip.
    • Have an honest, kind conversation about where you each want to go next.
    • Make room for humour; Sagittarius season is traditionally about lightness more than heaviness.
    • If you are single, say yes to one invitation you would usually turn down.

    Timing note: Sagittarius season starts on the evening of 21 November on the Pacific coast of North America and on 22 November almost everywhere else.
