The Sagittarius Sign is that of the half horse, half man archer sending his arrow to uncharted places symbolising the quest that drives this sign, fusing instinct and intellect. Adventurous and extraverted they wanderers of the Zodiac. Ruled by Planet Jupiter, Sagittarius are optimistic and have the quality of expansion breaking through physical and mental barriers. On a physical level this may involve travelling to distant lands, climbing unconquered mountains or breaking endurance records. On a mental level this will manifest in a person expanding their mind in a quest for knowledge and truth. Being a Mutable (Changeable), Fire Sign they express their truths and opinions in an inspirational way regardless of who it will effect – they are neither tactful, diplomatic nor sensitive and can have a quick temper.
The shadow side of Sagittarius is this energy of adventure which cannot easily be constrained. A Sagittarian may therefore be the person who walks away from a relationship if it becomes too mundane. They may also be the religious zealot or cult leader who take their beliefs to the extreme while forgetting the individuals under their care.
Sagittarius make great philosophers and teachers. They also are to be found in high risk sports breaking new boundaries. They will be the mountaineers and high risk snowboarders of the world as well as the big wave surfers. In fact they will be found around anything that involves danger and challenge.
Sagittarius enjoys a challenge and especially are attracted to confident, outgoing partners who are honest and upfront and gravitate towards natural-looking partners. Sagittarius is the Zodiac Sign that’s toughest to commit as they need a lot of freedom, excitement and a sense of purpose in a relationship. Once Sagittarius does commit however and, although they may still flirt outside the relationship, they are loyal to the core.
