What Sagittarius is like
Sagittarius is honest, funny and restless. It loves travel, big ideas and people from other places. It can promise more than it delivers and say the true thing at the worst moment. It needs room, or it bolts.
Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter. Its symbol is the archer.
Sagittarius in love
In love Sagittarius wants a partner who is also a friend and a fellow traveller. It shows love through shared plans and laughs. It struggles with clinging.
Sagittarius gets on most easily with the other fire signs and with the air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. The opposite sign, Gemini, pulls and pushes at once. A real match depends on whole charts: the Moon, Venus and Mars matter as much as the Sun.
Sagittarius at work
At work Sagittarius does well in teaching, travel, publishing, law, sport and anything with a mission. It needs a cause bigger than the task.
