Sagittarius
Like your spirited siblings, you also are FIRE INCARNITE. Sagittarius is the final fire sign of the Zodiac. These natives are mature and wise yet they still embody the lively passion that is intrinsic to being a fire sign. The age group ruled by this smoldering sign refers to ages 56-63. At this point in life, adults have a strong sense of who they are and what they need to be content. The years before this span of time involved hard-pressed personal work: growth through elimination. Due to the bitterly painful years prior to this life stage, those who fall between the ages of 56-63 get to enjoy the results of newfound freedom!
Members of Sagittarius exhibit the easygoing qualities of a person who was born into power. They are confident, educated and cultured. The cool, calm demeanor of someone who has nothing to lose, and no one to impress, defines the nature of regal Sagittarius. Saggie’s specific brand of nonchalance surely attracts the attention of many. The age group that rules Sagittarius owes their coveted demeanor to their vast experience. Forever changed by their many years of living and learning, this age group demonstrates astute expertise. People at this point in life know about how the world works, they have accomplished a lot and witnessed even more. They are blessed with feeling quite powerful thanks to all the knowledge that they possess. This thorough appreciation for knowledge and experience embodies the Sagittarius way of being.
One of the perks of belonging to this age group is that Sagittarius natives are wise, old souls. They possess maturity, responsibility, and a constant thirst for knowledge. They have perfected the public persona, and they are self-aware enough to generally remain respectful. One pitfall associated with being a part of this age group is that Sag can sometimes sound arrogant. Their “know-it-all” kind of confidence may rub some people the wrong way. They hate being wrong and sometimes refuse to believe this can ever happen. But worst of all, they are capable of burning others with their poignant honesty. Remember as a young child, realizing that you could put nothing over on your Grandmother? She knew every trick in the book. That is because her many years of living provided her with great wisdom. While Grandma’s direct honesty could be tough for anyone to take, imagine a 16 year-old Sagittarius dishing out the same painful truths. This does not always go over well. While all fire signs have the tendency to transgress (fire BURNS) Sagittarius does this, most often, by providing unwanted honesty and unsolicited advice.
As Sagittarius natives grow up, they learn to manage their honesty and opinions quite well. After upsetting a quite a few people, they soon discover the true impact of their words. Once this is acknowledged, members of this fire sign are ready to move forward as expansion is their ultimate mission! Socially, Sagittarius is a sign that excels. These natives were born with a natural confidence and charisma. These folks are chatty conversationalists. Many people say that conversation with a Sagittarius has an uplifting effect on them. Something about Sagittarius’ relationship to humanity, philosophy, and the collective unconscious causes them to inspire others with ease. Sagittarians have a strong connection to their dreams and ambitions. They have a hard time understanding that this quality is unique to them. It goes without saying that Sagittarius is a sign that has great expectations. They believe that luxury is a birthright regardless of the class one is born into, and Sag will do everything within their power to attain this kind of lifestyle.
Ruled by the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, Sagittarius is said to be the luckiest sign in the Zodiac. This planet is associated with growth and optimism, two very Sagittarian traits! In Roman mythology, Jupiter was King of the gods. Known as Zeus by the Greeks, this perfect archetype of power and prestige ruled with strong convictions. Like any king, Sagittarius lives large! These natives need absolute freedom, and will run away from anything that feels like restraint. Members of this sign want to make their mark on the world. After all, their ruling planet was named after the king of the gods! Those are some serious shoes to fill, and Sagittarius has the ambition required to get it done. They are not afraid to take risks since they realize that the kind of worldly influence they strive for will be impossible to get to without occasional leaps of faith. Along with having the courage needed to take risks, Sagittarians also know to wait for the moment of opportunity. They patiently wait and watch until the timing is right then they let their arrow of ambition fly! They realize that timing is everything. Knowing this will get any person far, regardless of their sign.
Despite the profound wisdom and patience Sagittarians are known for, they also have a reputation for being a bit too bold. Fire signs are known to be quite impulsive. So it should not be surprising to learn that Sagittarius maintains a “live for today” attitude. They feel like they find opportunity everywhere it exists, so why spend life hoarding and saving for a future that may never come? While this is not a responsible trait at all, Sagittarius’ propensity for good luck often condones their excessive spending and behavior. Living life like a bolt of lightning, Sagittarius moves quickly, and leaves a lasting impression. The fire sign qualities combine nicely with their mutable position allowing Sag to be a form of changeable fire. Like the other mutable signs of the Zodiac, Sagittarius is very adaptive and flexible. The enemy list of a Sagittarius is small to non-existent since their versatility finds a way to exist peacefully within any environment. But be warned, all mutable signs must do their best to avoid being taken advantage of, and here Sagittarius is no exception. All you archers must assert your boundaries as best as you can because your wisdom and kindnesses are a valuable assets and others are aware of this.
Pictorially represented by the archer centaur, Sagittarius is known for having an adventurous spirit. They know that experience is central to their eventual success. The bow and arrow, as seen in the Sagittarius glyph, refers to this sign’s ability to see what they want from afar. These natives have the resources to shoot toward the prize, and yet they also know to wait their turn. The centaur aspect of Sagittarius speaks to their love of travel and excitement. Horses are known for their beauty, grace and speed, as is Sagittarius. Natives of this sign usually have sturdy stems and can walk until their legs fall off. They in fact NEED to get outside and walk around to feel alive. As Sagittarius is a masculine sign, male Sagittarians experience their sign’s traits of expansion and knowledge on an internal level.
Archers are constantly knocking down old ideologies of theirs and replacing them with newer better attitudes. Open-mindedness is paramount to the existence of a Sagittarius. These folks have little tolerance for narrow-minded shmucks. Female Sagittarius needs her reshaping process to occur more externally. She struggles more than her male counterparts due to being such a masculine, yet self-aware sign. As a female, she does not believe she should have to take a backseat to the male gender. Since the world caters to men, and Sagittarius lady sees this everywhere, anxiety and poor self-image can occur in the archer centaur ladies. Luckily these independent women know how to overcome adversity! Most Sagittarius women finally learn how to get a leg up (no pun intended) in life, and they do so with intensity and vigor. Rapid change for the better is her intention and you can trust that she will make it happen. The lady centaur encourages this rapid change adding a touch of regal magnificence to make things more interesting for anyone who should choose to journey along side her.
Generally Sagittarius has many loved ones in his or her life. Sometimes however Sag can be a tactless fool. On a bad day, these frisky firecrackers are known to anger others with their blunt opinions. Other negative traits seen in members of this sign regard being: selfish, cocky, careless, impulsive, narcissistic, superficial, restless, hyperactive and blindly optimistic. It is also believed that the restless Sagittarius can sometimes having a bit of a wandering eye.
Mature Sagittarians have long since learned to steer clear of these tendencies. For the most part, Sagittarius folks are incredibly kind and supportive people. They are great listeners and never turn down a friend in need. They prize morality, truth, and knowledge above all. These people beam with enthusiasm and are always open to adventure. On a good day Sagittarians are: warm, loving, comedic, upbeat, intellectual, freedom loving, energetic, entertaining, quick-witted, and responsible.
Cheers to the ever-expansive Sagittarius!
