Your Horoscope for Sagittarius

Mars has been in Cancer and your eighth house of other people’s money for a very long time. Mars was in Cancer from September 4, 2024, to November 3, 2024, and then again from January 6, 2025, to April 17, 2025.

When Mars is in your eighth house, he usually increases your spending. Mars’s usual visit to any part of your chart lasts six weeks, sometimes as long as eight weeks. If you look at the months Mars spent in Cancer recently, it adds up to six months of higher expenses. Furthermore, Mars is in direct communication with Saturn in your home and family sector, so that is where your money is likely being directed.

As some examples, you may have purchased real estate, or you might have been entertaining at home more often. Alternatively, you may be looking to rent a vacation cottage, or your higher costs might involve an expensive renovation or redesign of your décor. All these goals require money, and some of these actions may appreciate the value of your home and be worth the expense—it’s only that you have to lay out the cash now.

There is another way this could have turned out. You may have invited a family member to live with you for a while or, conversely, had a roommate move out without notice, and you have had to shoulder the rent and accompanying expenses yourself.

Alternatively, you may be working to help a relative financially who was going through a rough patch. With Mars in Cancer for so long, you might feel you’ve been practically bleeding money, and you may have had to borrow some of the funds you’ve needed.

The good news is that Mars will finally end his unusually long transit in Cancer and your financial eighth house on April 17—Mars will not be back for two years, and when he returns, his visit will be for a much shorter, more typical length of time. It looks like your focus on your home and a family member may be winding down a little now.

Something you dearly want—a wish so personal that you likely are the only one who knows what it is—may come to fruition this month.
