Sagittarius: The Archer

 Yesterday, November 22nd 2014, the Sun entered the wonderful sign of Sagittarius. The Sun will stay in Sagittarius for about a month and because of this I would like to talk about the traits of Sagittarius in general and as a Sun sign. 

Sagittarius is the ninth sign in the zodiac and represents the ninth stage of evolution through the signs. Sagittarius is the first transpersonal sign and realizes that we are all part of a bigger picture. Therefore Sagittarius is greatly concerned with seeking the truth of how every thing fits together.  This makes Sagittarians seekers and philosophers, questioning life and how it works. 

Sagittarians usually love learning because they are always seeking answers. Sagittarius is  the sign  that rules higher education and many Sagittarians may decide to go to college or at least devote part of their lives to independent learning. Sagittarians may also have interest in religion or spirituality because of their strong desire to find answers about how the universe works. 

Sagittarians are usually quite free-spirited. They are ruled by the freedom loving planet Jupiter, so it's no wonder that they enjoy and cherish their freedom. If you have a Sagittarius in your life , remember to never restrict them in any way because chances are, they won't like it! Their love for freedom can also be expressed through travel, which they usually adore. Many Sagittarians long to roam the world to explore and learn about foreign countries and cultures. 

Sagittarius is a fire sign which makes Sagittarians action oriented most of the time. They usually like when there is a lot of action in their lives. Sometimes this desire for action can manifest as a love for sports. Sagittarians can be quite athletic if they have an inclination for it. The desire for action can also make Sagittarians highly invested in the future and many of them love to set future goals for themselves. 

Sagittarians are optimists. This is probably due to the fact that they are ruled by Jupiter which is the most benevolent and positive planet. Sagittarians always see the bright side of things and are usually pretty enthusiastic. 

Overall, Sagittarius is a lovely and cheerful sign that is on a quest for the truth. Happy Birthday month to all the Sagittarians out there and everyone remember to think more optimistically this month just like a Sagittarius (It will do you good, trust me !)
