Sagittarius energy is the urge to UNDERSTAND and Sagittarians are motivated by the need for wisdom. This sign rules the search for truth; religion, philosophy, ideology, and all that is foreign or unfamiliar. It is enthusiastic, profound, generous, frank, jovial, expansive, aspiring, abstract, philosophical, prosperous, humorous and optimistic.

Sagittarius is direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes they are blunt or tactless, but this energy is always concerned with the absolute truth. Because they are ruled by the planet, Jupiter (planet of expansion), Sagittarians embody the expanded concepts of being good-natured, generous, tolerant and magnanimous. Associated with philosophy, religion, and all things far-reaching, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well as social and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.

The sign of the archer loves an adventure, be it in the outdoors or in pursuit of the outer reaches of the higher mind. A Sagittarian makes a good friend, as they are honest, generous, and optimistic. Integrity is critical to them. It is better to tell a Sagittarius an awful truth rather than breaking their trust with a lie. In terms of the higher mind, Sagittarians are here to help us go beyond self-limiting thoughts and beliefs. You can often find them coaching or encouraging people to achieve their dreams and goals. Where Sagittarius lies in your chart is where you can go beyond your self-imposed limits.
