Masculine – Mutable – Fire
Sagittarius is the most impetuous sign of the zodiac. They are the ones who ask “Can you guess my sign?” These energetic outdoorsy people are always busy doing something. They can’t sit with their own company for long. They must be out in the world with other fellow travelers.
It is a mutable sign, so they go toward a goal and then fall back again. It is like the swinging of a pendulum. Sagittarius is a fire sign therefore they wish for power, but are sometimes unable to attain it because they can’t stick to it. Besides, what power is obtainable by the human race? The power over oneself is the most realistic goal.
These adventurers lead very exciting lives if only in their fantasy. They are the soldiers of fortune. Ruled by Jupiter their ideas are lofty and sometimes impractical. Sagittarius like all signs must learn from their opposite which is Gemini. There is a need to balance the practical with the ecumenical.
The Sagittarians make great philosophers…”don’t do to the others what you wouldn’t like done to you.” This is a philosophy that can be explained while standing on one leg.
