Sagittarius Full Moon: Longitude of Happiness
Sagittarius does start out on each journey so happily, as though birth were a baptism that removed all memory of the pain and terror of Scorpio, its preceding sign.

But look just a little bit closer…

Mercury in Sagittarius: Infinite Jest
Mercury entered Sagittarius on Monday for a several week stay (it will enter Capricorn on the 30th).
