Modern

In Sagittarius, the sign of conviction and the open road, its themes meet a wide, seeking field that wants to understand. With Uranus When a planet appears to move backward through the zodiac from our view on Earth. Its energy turns inward, slows down, or revisits old ground rather than pushing ahead., that questioning impulse turns inward, and these people tend to doubt the doctrines and certainties they were raised on, building their own philosophy from honest searching rather than received belief. At its best it is a generation that reforms meaning from within, holding to an authentic freedom of thought that will not bow to a truth simply because it was inherited.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
