Fiery Sagittarius is enthusiastic, spontaneous, excitable, and free-spirited. These are the fun-loving adventurers of the zodiac. Whimsical and given to wanderlust, Sagittarians will go anywhere and do anything on the spur of the moment – especially if they haven’t tried it or been there before.
Being the Centaur, half (wo)man, half horse, Sagittarians are imbued with the duality of the higher and lower selves, the spiritual and animal sides of our natures. Nature is home to Sagittarians, who generally prefer to be outside in the fresh air, under a blue sky, soaking up the Sun. Sagittarians do not like to be fenced in, held down, or restricted in any way.
The Truth is Sagittarius’ top priority in life, except maybe for the understanding of that Truth. The world and all it offers is as magical to the Sagittarian as the higher awareness that’s gained through its travels. This mutable sign is versatile and talented, and uses its considerable intelligence or consciousness to apply his or her experiences to the gaining of Wisdom.
As the Archer, Sagittarius MUST share the Truth it finds, by shooting its arrows whenever or wherever the chance arises. Sadges are not known for their diplomacy or tact. They can be extremely blunt and uncensored, but they genuinely believe they are showing you the Way to the Truth that you need to recognize.
Sagittarius sometimes adopts a holier than thou attitude, but it isn’t really where they’re coming from. They truly mean to share their Knowledge with everyone. They are the Teachers of the zodiac, driven by some unseen motivational force to educate the people about right and wrong, good and bad, true and false.
Fortunately, they are optimists and happy-go-lucky types, who don’t perceive the negative in anything, and never seem to be affected by their inability to see the dark side. As a result, they stand as shining lights, exemplifying the kind of person that everyone wants to be just a little more like.
