November 23-December 22
BIG. That's the operative word for Sag, which is ruled by Jupiter, the bright, happy jumbo-planet of expansion. Laid back and quick to forgive, Sag wants everyone to be happy all the time. Your natural sense of comedy helps this along.
Sagittarians are the optimists of the zodiac, always believing that it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive. The one thing they cannot bear is stagnation of any kind. They possess an adventurous and restless spirit which refuses to be tied down, and if they cannot physically travel the world they will explore the realms of the mind with the same enthusiasm. In fact, the centaur loves to acquire knowledge and in turn pass it on to others. Sagittarians are, despite their restless and happy go lucky attitude, great philosophers and teachers. Generally, these Jupiter ruled people are open and honest, highly principled and idealistic.
Sagittarians enthusiasm for life and living makes them very popular, and they usually have a wide and varied circle of friends. The sign is traditionally associated with foreign cultures, so the archer's circle of friends can be spread far and wide. These people thrive on the stimulus of anything that's outside their normal experience. They are attracted to people who, like themselves, are active and live life to the full.
In relationships Sagittarians show the same qualities that run through the rest of their lives. They need to be friends with their lover. Passion is there alright, this is a fire sign don't forget, but the centaur isn't given to heavy emotional displays. They have a certain panache when it comes to courtship; perhaps showering their lover with little gifts - they're noted for their generosity and love to make such gestures - or whisking them away somewhere unexpectedly. The archer's interests are far ranging and they need constant stimuli to avoid letting boredom set in. A sense of humour and a warm generous nature are brought to all Sagittarian relationships. The idea of being fenced in or restricted is the one thing guaranteed to send them galloping away in the other direction. Though many happy and permanent relationships survive when the partner is canny enough to understand this and keep the Sagittarian's interest alive.
In their working environment Sagittarians respond with alacrity to challenges. They are unafraid of risk taking and many opt to run their own businesses. Jupiter, the sign ruler, is the planet of good fortune, opportunity and expansion. Many Saggitarians seem to have a happy knack of being in the right place at the right time. They are also adaptable and able to have several tasks on the go at any one time. This sign is associated with sporting pursuits as well as more intellectual professions such as teaching and law. There is also a link with religion and philosophy; some Sagittarians are perpetual students of such subjects, having become hooked on acquiring knowledge from an early age. by Cambiel and Ophia
