This is a comfortable, familiar transit. Jupiter rules over the zodiac of Sagittarius, so when these two are paired up they’re able to use their energies effectively, like its second nature. This transit will amplify the effects of both energies.

Detriment:
This is an uncomfortable placement for Mercury because its need to understand everything holds Sagittarius back. Sagittarius is a fire sign and it moves quicky, but Mercury wants to gather information along the way. When these two mix it makes for complications in energetic expression, but that isn’t always a bad thing as it can teach us expansion in different areas.

Universal Standpoint
Sagittarius is child-like wonder coming out to explore the world. Source knows that it cannot expand without experience and so it’s sent Sagittarius to broaden their horzions.

Myths of the Sagittarius Constellation
Some say that Sagittarius is associated with Crotus, the son of Pan and nurse to the muses. Crotus was thought to be skilled at hunting, as well as music. He was a lover of the arts in all forms. It is said that the Muses asked Zeus to place him in the sky to demonstrate his talents for archery.
Johannes Hevelius' Sagittarius from Uranographia (1690)

Google AI and a lot of questions.
A lot of the information in this section comes from my own personal experience and higher channelings, but I used one main source to fact check myself and fill in any gaps in my knowledge. I have been working with this book for years and I’ve found it to be one of the most concise and straightforward works on Astrology to date. This section wouldn’t have been entirely possible to create without the accompanying works of Isabel M Hickey and her book Astrology: A Cosmic Science.
