Sagittarians may be forgiven for thinking that they have deja vu. Not even six months ago, you were probably standing at the same place you are now  - a crossroads in your life when important choices need to be made to resolve a dilemma between home, family and real estate on one hand, and career development, public recognition and responsibilities, on the other.

Back in March-April, you experienced two eclipses in the same sectors of your chart - the 4th and 9th houses. First of all, you may have had a wild card present itself to you in the form of a job offer, unexpected promotion or unforeseen changes that affected your reputation or public status. Perhaps you became suddenly famous? Or you were considering a career change? At the time, it seems that you were, instead, forced to divide your energy, time and attention between home and work life, with domestic , property and family issues tugging at the heart-strings and possibly throwing you off course a little.

At the time, you may have been trying to buy a house, move or possibly even relocate to somewhere new. However, again you had some difficult aspects that may have ensured that the pause button was hit and plans feel through or ground to a halt. Or a dramatic event, such as the illness of a parent, may have forced you off on your intended path and into something of a diversion. To make matters worse, Jupiter and Pluto, which has been touring your sign, decided to go into hibernation for several months.

You'll be pleased to know that circumstances have changed somewhat since then. First of all, Jupiter began direct motion once more through Sagittarius at the beginning of August, which meant you got your mojo back and things began to go your way again. Secondly, Pluto, planetoid of transformation, will be returning to normal direction on the 9th or so of September, which means that you can now begin to reinvent yourself and make those life changes (or even have that make-over) that you have been dreaming of since Easter.

You will also be experiencing your annual set of autumn eclipses, this time in opposite places, on the 28th of August and the 11th of September.

The first one, a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, may re-ignite your need to change lifestyles, move house, buy a home or put down roots somewhere. It may also bring unexpected news of a family member, possibly a parent, which could make you feel a little emotional. This is because Mercury and Uranus are at loggerheads across the same two houses. Mercury rules plans and communication whilst Uranus rules surprises, shocks and the unconventional. At any rate, Full Moons are usually a time of closure or of fulfilment, so it seems likely that around now, there will be a sense of completion or conclusion about events related to this aspect of your life. Sadly, you will feel torn between your need to attend to family or property matters and the demands of your career or civic responsibilities if you are hold office or are somehow in the public eye. The Moon will be making a difficult aspect to your ruler, Jupiter on the same day, which could really amplify the emotional drama. It could also encourage self-indulgence, both in terms of food, money and feelings. try to avoid being emotionally dependent on others now or shopping or eating to try and cheer yourself up. And a little down you may feel because of a Sun-Saturn conjunction that occurs just before the eclipse takes place, which might add a sombre or depressing atmosphere to things.

Whatever occurs now, you are advised not to take any hasty or impulsive action, something you might be tempted to do, given that Mars will also be exerting a bad influence on Jupiter, making you feel overconfident and over-amped. Act in haste, repent at leisure. This could be especially true for you now in connection with relationships because Mars will be sitting in the 7th house of one-to-one partnerships.

It could well be that both lovers and family members are fed up of the amount of time you spent working or trying to get ahead and all decide to gang up on you around the lunar eclipse. Unfair as this is, try not to blow up or get on your high horse - they are only saying these things because they love you and miss spending time in your company.

Good days to try and put things right on this score are the 5th, 8th, and 13th when the two benefics, Venus and Jupiter, will be working to help calm troubled communications, increase good feeling between loved ones, promoting fairness, pace and harmony and making conversations about the future more expansive and philosophical. When I say the 5th I DO NOT include the 4th in this equation. On this day, both the Sun and Moon make harsh angles to Jupiter so trying to make peace on this day may only make things worse or end in arguments.

Any doubts you may have had about where to focus your energies at the Full Moon look set to be resolved by the New Moon on the 11th when a solar eclipse in Virgo places the emphasis firmly on your career and future plans. A new cycle is likely to begin now which could mean a new job, promotion, fame or even a seat in public office at this time. Loved ones may just have to understand that this is where your focus is for the next six months and domestic or real estate matters may have to wait or be put on hold. Alternatively, the new job may be in a different country, in which case you won't necessarily be wanting to buy property in your current location but may, instead be looking to rent for a while until you find your feet at work. This last scenario could be influenced by the return of Venus to direct motion in your 9th house of overseas travel and foreign relations which increases the likelihood that you may be earning money from an abroad destination.  It could also mean that your next job is related to the law or higher education.

Unfortunately, changes made at this time will not be plain sailing, thanks to a difficult contact between the Moon and Jupiter the day before, as well as a t-square formation between Uranus, Mars and the Moon on the 11th, raising the temperature again in relation to loved ones. Clearly, they may not like to hear that they have to take a back seat to your ambition, so expect things to be a little rocky for a bit.

Fortunately, you have the 13th to try and make people see your point of view. On this day, the Moon and Mercury will both be making a dynamic but pleasant angle to Jupiter. This means that you have the upper hand both emotionally and intellectually. Mercury will also be in Libra, the sign of the diplomat and peacemaker. Use some Venusian charm and Jupiterian rhetoric to make family and partners see the bigger picture. 

So Sag, clearly following your dreams will not be straightforward this autumn but, unlike earlier in the year, you do have both Jupiter and Pluto on your side.Whatever happens at eclipse time, make things work for you. This is your time to reinvent yourself and undergo a personal transformation - don't waste it.
