About Your Sign...
Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of
enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to
extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy
travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are
constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically
ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their
hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer
many disappointments without being affected. They are honorable,
honest, trustworthy, truthful, generous and sincere, with a passion
for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog in
society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and
are prepared to be rebellious. They balance loyalty with
independence.
Sagittarians are usually modest and are often religious, with a
strong sense of morality, though they tend to overemphasize the
ethical codes they follow and worship beliefs about God rather than
God Himself. This means that, negatively, they regard rigid,
unloving, intolerant adherence to ritual and conventional codes as
more important than the truths they symbolize or embody. They
sometimes pay lip service to religions and political parties in
which they have ceased to believe because the outward forms satisfy
them, yet they may not hesitate to switch allegiance in politics or
change their system of belief if they see personal advantage to
themselves in doing so.
They have both profound and widely ranging minds, equipped with
foresight and good judgement, and they can be witty
conversationalists. They love to initiate new projects (they make
excellent researchers) and have an urge to understand conceptions
that are new to them. they think rapidly, are intuitive and often
original, but are better at adapting than inventing and are at
their best when working with colleagues of other types of character
that compliment their own. They are strong-willed and good at
organizing, a combination that gives them the ability to bring any
project they undertake to a successful conclusion. Their generosity
can be balanced by their extreme care at handling their
resources.
Sagittarians are ardent, sincere and straightforward in love,
normally conventional and in control of their sexual natures. Yet
if thwarted, they may easily allow their failure to embitter their
whole lives or they may revenge themselves upon the opposite sex by
becoming cynically promiscuous. They are more apt then the average
to make an uncongenial alliance. If their marriages are successful,
they will be faithful spouses and indulgent parents; but their
innate restlessness will inspire them to use even the most
satisfying ménage as a base from which to set out on their travels.
They need to fell free and are often faced with the choice of
allowing their careers to take over their lives at the expense of
the love of their spouse and family. Sagittarian women are the
counterparts of their men; even if they have no career to rival
their love, they find it difficult to express affection and may run
the risk of being thought frigid.
In other personal relationships they are reliable, seldom betraying
any trust given to them. They can, however, be impulsively angry
and both male and female Sagittarians know how to be outspoken and
exactly what expressions will hurt their adversaries most. On the
other hand they are magnanimous in forgiving offenses and are
responsible when looking after the elderly in the family.
Their gifts fit Sagittarians for a number of widely differing
professions. They are natural teachers and philosophers with a
talent for expounding the moral principles and laws which seem to
explain the universe. This gift enables them to be successful
churchmen on the one hand and scientists on the other. The law and
politics also suit them, as does public service, social
administration, public relations and advertising. Travel and
exploration naturally appeal to such restless souls and, if their
opportunities are limited, they may find something of travel and
change of scene in the armed forces or through working as a
travelling salesman. Others may make fine musicians and, in the
days before automobiles, they were said to be successful at horse
trading and all activities, including sporting ones, concerning
horses. This has been translated in modern terms into an interest
in cars and aircraft - and again with emphasis on the sporting side
racing, rallying etc. They are said to make good sports coaches,
but their tastes in this direction may lead them into imprudent
gambling, though the gambling instinct may be sublimated by
carrying it out professionally as a bookmaker.
The vices to which Sagittarians are prone are anger they tend to
flare up over trifles; impatience - they want to rush every new
project through immediately and demand too much of colleagues who
cannot work at the pace they require; and scorn of the inadequacies
of others while expecting fulsome recognition of their own efforts.
They may in one sense deserve recognition, because in completing a
major project they will sacrifice their health and family
relationships; in their family's eyes they may merit
condemnation.
They can be exacting, domineering and inconsiderate in the work
place; and boastful, vulgar and extravagant in their private lives.
Their restlessness, if excessive, can jeopardize more than their
own stability. some Sagittarians risk becoming playboys, wasting
their lives away in frivolous pursuits. Others can develop a
moralizing, religious fanaticism or else turn into hypocrites,
their inner prudishness disguised by an outward appearance of
joviality. Another side of the religiosity which is a danger in
Sagittarians is superstition.
Possible Health Concerns...
Sagittarius governs the hips, thighs and sacral area; subjects
suffer from ailments of the hips and thighs and are liable to
sciatica and rheumatism. An alleged deficiency of silicon in their
physiques can give them poor skin, nails and hair.
As they are often sportsmen indulging in dangerous pursuits, they
are prone to accidents which arise from these. The ancient
astrologers mention falls from horses and hurts from them and other
four-footed beasts. The taking of risks in other sports is a danger
to the modern Sagittarian, and he is also liable to accidents with
fire and heat.
