More Astrology Traits and Personality of Sagittarius

Optimistic and Confident: 

Ruled by the benefic planet Jupiter, Sagittarians possess a natural exuberance, sense of adventure and love of life that makes them one of the most optimistic zodiac signs of all. Like their astrological symbol - the Archer - Sagittarians are renowned for aiming their sights towards whatever it is they find alluring - a love partner, dream job, vacation - and making it their own. They believe that anything is possible - and because of this belief system, Sagittarians are adept at seeking out their very own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Free-spirited and Spontaneous: 

But sometimes trying to tie down these free-spirited individuals is frustrating for those around them. Sagittarians are happiest on the move - exploring new cultures and ideas and many are attracted to occupations related to travel, the media, outdoor work and philosophical pursuits. In love, their catch-cry is "don't fence me in". But once they find a partner who understands their need to retain their own sense of self and identity, Sagittarians can be the most big-hearted, generous and fun-loving companions of all. 

Enthusiastic and Idealistic: 

Full of enthusiasm and given to grand ideas, often with little attention to detail, they can be a little slapdash, with a “near enough is good enough” attitude, however they are able to see the overview of things and leave the details to others. If they have a life lesson to learn it is probably one of restraint.

Seekers of Wisdom: 

Freedom loving, optimistic and honest, Sagittarians are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and higher learning. The wisdom of Jupiter imbibes Sagittarians with an inherent need to develop their own unique philosophy of life. The Centaur is their astrological symbol, and it gives many insights into the Sagittarian personality. The higher-evolved Sagittarian learns to integrate the two ends of the Centaur (half-human, half-beast) in order for their arrow (another Sagittarian symbol) of higher aspirations to be more on the mark. Although they are intellectually and spiritually advanced, Sagittarians are notorious for their lack of tact. In relationships they demand independence, but when in love, it can't be denied.

Sagittarius - The Archer - 2018

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

No more drama? Hotheaded Uranus, the planet of sudden change, starts its departure from your fifth house of love and passion mid-May, after a seven-year sprint. But with your ruler, Jupiter, in your fantasy-fueled twelfth house until November, you could be swept off your feet this year. Is this person your soulmate…or just passing through? It could be hard to tell. Mid-July, an eclipse in your intimacy zone could find some Archers saying “I do.” Other Sags may go through a breakup or a life transition that takes a lot of emotional energy to process. Give yourself that space. You’ll emerge from the cocoon to spread your wings when Jupiter enters Sagittarius for 13 months in November.

MONEY & CAREER

You’ve grown up so much, Sag, thanks to maturity-planet Saturn’s three-year visit to your sign from 2014 to 2017. Now, frugal Saturn is bringing structure to your finance sector, pushing you to budget and prioritize long-term security. Build that nest egg, Sag! You may need to live leaner, but your sensible approach will pay off over time. An exciting joint venture or unexpected windfall could arrive at the July 12 Cancer solar eclipse, which illuminates your wealth sector. In 2018, there are also two full moons in Cancer, on January 1 and December 22, which could bookend your year with bountiful bonuses.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

With Jupiter in your restful twelfth house until November, you could be sleepier than usual. Wave the white flag and focus your energy inward toward spiritual pursuits, healing and self-discovery. Trying to force an agenda will be an exercise in frustration, but when you surrender and let the universe guide, miracles will occur. Luckily, you’ll be saved from couch potato status mid-May, when innovator Uranus sweeps into your health and fitness zone for an eight-year visit. Get ready for an extreme makeover to your diet, fitness and lifestyle—one you’ll probably welcome.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Energy vampires, begone! With Jupiter in your twelfth house of hidden agendas, “user-friendly” types will be exposed. Cut those codependent cords and get relationships back on healthy ground…or move on. Four eclipses this year bring new opportunities for friendship, travel and learning, so stay open to new people and experiences. Your mother or a female relative could be a healing force from May through August, as Jupiter forms a golden trine to compassionate Neptune in your maternal fourth house. Bonds deepen with women and children and you may be inspired to learn more about your own lineage.
