From the shadowy waters of self-discovery in the sign of Scorpio, we are reborn in the light of Sagittarius—all things are possible now. We feel fully alive, with open hearts and minds to whatever is just over the next horizon. We have already passed through the dark, so now that we understand that the only limits that exist are the ones we create for ourselves, we have only test these false beliefs and continue to take aim for what lies beyond them. Sagittarius is always peering just past the tip of their arrow, buoyant and full of hope, they reach out into a great beyond. Even if they miss their mark, they’ll never stop setting their eyes on the next elusive target. ‘Que sera,’ says the archer— ‘whatever will be, will be.’ Appearing to breeze through life, they move untethered, mutable, and expanding in every direction as they seek their next great adventure.
They have a cheerful, jovial nature and require freedom and independence in all areas of life. They are kind and generous to be sure, but they are not one to linger long in one place for too long. The archer thrives on change, being restless by nature and eager for new and exciting endeavors. Just as soon as they’ve conquered one great height, they need another to surpass it. Ruled by fire, the archer is a classic portrait of one who would rather burn up in a blaze of glory, then fade dimly away. In relationships, the archer must be guaranteed an eclectic assortment of companions and a boisterous good time to take pause. But be prepared, the archer is ready to just do their own thing, which would be a challenge for those needing more security in their intimate connections. Sagittarius is unique, though, as they are not at all possessive or jealous. Their wanderlust can contribute to their being a bit capricious, evasive, and even impetuous. But they're so much fun to be with, that these careless tendencies are usually forgiven. Sag is also quite forward to say exactly what they mean, albeit at times coming off a bit uncouth. Despite this frankness, the Sag believes so deeply in their right to their opinions that they are easily hurt if their ideals are dismissed by the seeming ignorance of others. Sag respects others right to have their own opinion…so long as it doesn’t impinge on theirs.
Sag more than other signs will take a philosophical approach to health. They will probe into their challenges, triumphs, with deep contemplation to better understand themselves and strive for a full, abundant and healthful life. The sign rules the hips, thighs, and sacrum. These are the limbs of locomotion, they move us to where we want to go, making the sign coordinated, with a well developed lower body and a strong stride to carry them forward. It is important for these sign natives to always have a goal in mind a purpose or deeper meaning driving that goal. They will seek truth from many places to craft answers from their questions, slowly and patiently, as they deepen their experience of life. This process is one the demands cultivating a degree of self-awareness, and along the way it may be hard for Sag to acknowledge their limits. They will test their edge until you find it, sometimes at great cost. Sag can be exhaustive and reckless at times. They set high goals with faith in their reserves and abilities, but they need to maintain their physical body, which endures so much to reach their goals.
