The Sagittarius guide
Nov 22 – Dec 21 · Fire · Mutable · ruled by Jupiter
Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter. In astrology, Sagittarius is associated with a adventurous, philosophical, optimistic quality — a personality that tends to lead with adventurous energy while quietly circling back to optimistic.
Sagittarius needs somewhere to aim. Travel, study, belief, a new country, a new theory — the sign expands or it deflates. Honesty is the trademark and the liability: Sagittarius says the true thing without checking whether it was asked for. Follow-through is the assignment, since the next horizon is always more attractive than the current admin.
Where Sagittarius comes from
Sagittarius is the centaur archer, often identified with Chiron — the wounded healer who taught heroes. Half-animal, half-teacher: the sign's instinct is to travel, then explain what it found.
