Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter and symbolized by the Archer, a centaur aiming an arrow toward the horizon. It carries the energy of expansion and meaning, the urge to explore, learn, and reach for something larger than the everyday. The Sun passes through Sagittarius from roughly November 22 to December 21. Where Sagittarius falls in a chart is where a person seeks freedom, adventure, and a bigger picture to believe in. The Sagittarius temperament is optimistic, honest, adventurous, and open-minded. It loves travel, ideas, and philosophy, and it brings warmth, humor, and faith in the future wherever it goes. Sagittarius tells the truth as it sees it and inspires others to grow. The same expansiveness, unchecked, becomes restlessness, tactlessness, overpromising, and a dislike of being tied down. Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs, and liver, and its key phrase is "I see." Its growth lies in following through on its vision, so that its love of the open road is matched by the patience to arrive.
