You've been working hard, putting a great deal of effort into your job, so you may be wondering when all this energy will add up to something big. You are likely a bit frustrated that things have not moved forward fast enough for your taste, or that nothing seems to be breaking for you. There is no reason to be concerned. You are getting so close to victory, dear Sagittarius, and it will happen sooner than you think. In a moment I will show you that news will reach you about professional interests later in this month at the full moon, but even so, for swift progress beyond that full moon February 22, Mars might first need to move into Sagittarius, and that will happen on March 5.
This is great news, for Mars has not been in Sagittarius for two years and is coming to you next month! This year, remarkably, Mars will not stay in Sagittarius the usual seven weeks but will instead stay seven MONTHS! To say you are going to be super-busy in 2016 and in the spotlight, in great demand, is an understatement. Mars rules your fifth house of creativity, too, so if you are in a creative field and work with artistic people, double everything I just said. Your imagination is about to blossom in a way you've rarely seen. You have no evidence of any of this yet, but by March you will see an enormous difference.
With Mars in Scorpio now, touring your twelfth house of strategy and secrets, it appears your would do best to tweak things behind the scenes and not present any ideas to anyone just yet. The project that you are about to show the world is not quite cooked yet, for your idea needs more time to gently marinate flavors on the stove. You wouldn't want to show anything half done to influential people who hold the ability to write the checks.
I know a well-known, highly creative man whose new show was recently cancelled even though the show had reached a huge audience and was building steadily each month. He is a Sagittarius, just like you, and Sagittarius rules publishing and broadcasting. That means that Sagittarians usually do very well working in these fields (among others). Sagittarius is the international sign, so your work often has international application. I told my friend he will soon be glad the show ended, and that he has now been forced to look at his options because February will be chockfull of opportunity. It will be the very finest month of the year for so many reasons, my favorite, for it is literally laden with gorgeous aspects, like a box of fine imported chocolates that are practically spilling out of their satin box.
For major career news for all Sagittarius, I told my friend to watch for news at the full moon, February 22, for it will light his (and your) solar tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement at the very pinnacle place in the chart. This will be the only full moon of the year to brighten the prestigious tenth house of career, so it's important. It will bring a culmination or climax to what you are discussing. If you are in talks for a new job, it's likely a step up from what you did previously.
This full moon will partner with Neptune, which rules the silver image on television, the movies, and photography, so it looks like my friend will soon be besieged with offers. My friend's only dilemma will be to choose which opportunity he likes the best and that has the best long-term potential - and that includes you too. The full moon of February 22 will finish off something that is career oriented, although I admit that might be the last day of shooting of the show that was cancelled.
If so, Mars in Sagittarius in March will be a huge help to every Sagittarius. You will be like the person in the middle of the circle of the childhood game, Simple Simon. Simon says to "Do this!" or, "Do that!" and if others, as a member of the circle (the other 11 zodiac signs), don't respond fast enough, they are eliminated from the circle. The last person standing gets to be Simple Simon next. You see, you are in the driver's seat, dear Sagittarius, even if you are mumbling under your breath that it sure doesn't feel that way - it's all coming!
I want to continue with one point about that full moon. If you are not in a creative business, or even if you are, and you are given an offer, Neptune's presence might cause you misunderstand the offer. Ask many questions, and if you have to sign papers, ask many questions. If you need to sign papers, be sure to have your lawyer look at the contract and to make changes to protect you. Work with your lawyer, for two heads are always better than one. With Neptune prominent, it is what is missing from the contract that could cause problems later, even more than what is in it!
Now let's cycle back to the beginning of February, which will present you with many happy days to cheer about!
First, circle February 3 on your calendar. On that day, Mars in Scorpio will be beaming Pluto in Capricorn. Both signs are considered heavy-duty financial signs
