Sun in Sagittarius
Sagittarius wants
life to be an
adventure,
chock-full of travel
and excitement. He
values freedom and
independence above
all else, whether
it's freedom of
action or freedom of
mind. He's
talkative, friendly,
outgoing, and fun to
be around, so he
effortlessly charms
others, but he does
his own thing and
will not be fenced
in.
Like his fellow fire
sign Aries, he's
direct and honest.
He says whatever is
on his mind in no
uncertain terms and
can be surprised
when this hurts the
feelings of others.
Truth--at least his
impression of it--is
more important to
him than tact and
diplomacy, and it is
difficult for him to
imagine that others
do not think the
same way.
True to his ruler,
Jupiter, he's
optimistic and
positive thinking,
regardless of his
current
circumstances.
Gambling and
risk-taking come
naturally to him
because he expects
to be lucky. His
faith in the future
can carry him
through the most
difficult of times;
or at his worst, it
can bring him into
difficult times
because of his "why
do anything; life
will take care of
me" attitude.
Sagittarius is the
most intellectual of
the fire signs.
He's concerned with
ideas and ideals,
whether the ideas
are philosophical,
religious, or just
beliefs about how
people should live.
He can stand up for
social reform on one
hand or be a
spokesperson for the
prevailing social
order on the other.
Although he can
proselytize an
ideal, his
involvement remains
intellectual rather
than
action-oriented.
He's concerned with
theoretical
concepts, not with
mundanely working
out those concepts.
Being
a mutable sign, he's
also not afraid to
change his mind.
While he can argue
fervently for an
ideal, if he later
decides he was on
the wrong side of
the issue, he can
publicly argue just
as fervently for the
opposing view.
Either way, he must
be careful of being
prejudiced against
those who do not
believe in his
system of
thought.
There
are two types of
Sagittarius. One is
the philosophical,
scholarly type who's
concerned with
learning and gaining
wisdom. He wants to
improve the social
order in which he
lives. Still his
contribution remains
intellectual, not
pragmatic. He makes
a good minister or
humanitarian worker,
but his interest is
in society, not the
individual.
The
other type of
Sagittarius is more
concerned for
himself. His sense
of freedom takes
precedence above all
else. His desire
for travel,
excitement, and
adventure can
outweigh his
willingness to deal
with the
responsibilities of
everyday life. He
promises, with the
best of intentions,
more than he
delivers.
Optimistically, he
believes he'll come
through, but he
doesn't worry much
about it when he
does not. One
person can play both
Sagittarius roles in
a lifetime.
Both
types enjoy the
outdoors. Hiking,
horseback riding,
communing with
nature gives
Sagittarius a sense
of tranquility not
likely to be found
elsewhere.
