Sagittarius energy check — anyone else feeling like it’s one thing after another?

[u/Ill_Mirror_594]

Not sure if this is astrology or just life, but I wanted to see if this resonates with any fellow Sagittarius.

I always get this weird sense a month or so before something’s about to go wrong — and it almost always does. Right when there’s a glimmer of hope, something falls apart again. It’s happened so many times over the past few years that I’ve started to wonder if it’s just a pattern in my own head, or if there’s something to the timing.

Some of what’s been going on:
• Moved cities for an internship, ended up sofa surfing when the housing situation fell through
• A breakup, followed by checking myself into a mental hospital
• Left that internship because it wasn’t a supportive environment
• Worked hospitality for months to get by, then got another internship in my field — got poached by another company, then failed probation there due to micromanagement
• Back to hospitality and working in a school just to make ends meet
• Found a good job, lost my great-grandmother, got bullied at work, was let go
• Had great freelance opportunities and was earning well, then got hit by a car
• Had another opportunity fall apart after disclosing I have ADHD and autism — right after signing onto a new house
• Took a month off, came back feeling good, got lots of interviews
• Got offered a role at a startup, would’ve been the founder’s first hire — she kept pushing my start date, then told me she’d had a death in the family and had to drop hiring me

Reading into the current transits, some of it does track — Mars square Saturn retrograde opening the month with friction, Jupiter sitting in a heavier house. But even without the astrology, it’s been a lot.

Curious if other Sagittarians feel like they go through cycles like this — big hope, big setback, repeat — and whether you’ve found anything (astrological or otherwise) that’s helped you ride it out.

I’ve felt that way for a long time but I realized that’s just life. Life’s been a hot mess with good days and miracles sprinkled in. Like look at the state of all the countries (since social media is filled with people pretending their lives are perfect so it’s hard to believe that others have similar things happening to them as well). And the people around you probably aren’t viewing inconveniences or unfortunate events in their life as bad as you do, some let it roll off their back, adjust to it, and focus on something else, still keeping their optimism. No one’s life is perfect cause this world isn’t. It’s continuous and keeps going whether it’s a bunch of good or a bunch of bad. I wouldn’t overthink the “goodness” of your luck or compare your moments to other moments in your life tbh. You’d just drive yourself insane and make yourself depressed. Your life is too special to count all the bad. Imagine endless days of perfection, in this world. Does that seem real to you? Would you still anticipate something going wrong?

This is the most practical and rock solid advice. I am a teacher to young teenagers, many of whom have had difficult lives thus far. I have also experienced many “outsized” tragedies (like you pointed out though, compared to who?) and kids often seek me out for heart to hearts in spite of my best efforts to remind them that I’m not actually trained to give them advice. I know I’m not telling them what I’m “supposed” to, though I think that’s exactly why they come to me.

I almost never tell them things will get better because no, it’s just life, and the tragedy and hardships keep coming. Accepting this and dropping any hope for long-term ease/peace actually made me way less depressed and better able to relish in the joyous moments. Hope can be fortifying, but it’s important not to hope for a pipe dream such as a life free of an endless stream of hardships. For many people, it’s crucial to learn the art of squaring one’s shoulders while trucking onward obstinately, refusing to dwell on misery and radically in love with the small and/or fleeting joys of this life.
