The symbol for Sagittarius is the Archer. Also a half man half horse or centaur. It is a bi-corporeal sign meaning the are two animals in it.

Glyph

The glyph is of an arrow pointing high and ready to be shot into the big, wide world.

Themes

Buoyant

People with strong Sagittarius placements, and by that I mean people with three of more planets in Sagittarius, often have a natural optimism.

Travel

Strong Sagittarians are curious, open minded and drawn to travel, study and explore new ideas. There is a love of freedom here and an urge for the space to voyage, both physically and mentally.

Broad Strokes

Big Picture

At its best Sagittarius is positive, inspiring and large-as-life sign. This sign has a gift for seeing the bigger picture in life and not the little details. They are keen to help others step out of their own fears or perceived limitations. Sagittarius energy can feel refreshing because it reminds us that life does not have to be so heavy all the time.

Growth

Learning

Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is connected to all growth, learning and faith.

Discovery

Where Sagittarius is placed in your chart, and on the cusp of which house, is the area where you asks big questions and believe there is way more to discover.

Journey

Sagittarius teaches us to trust the journey even when the outcome is not yet clear. Here the expedition is more important that the destination. It’s about who you meet and what you experience along the way.

Challenges

Clumsy

Like all signs Sagittarius too has its challenges. Awkwardness can peskily show up especially when your life feels too small or repetitive.

Tactless

There can also be a tendency to blurt things out or speak too bluntly without realizing the impact of your words.

Gushes

Growth for the Jupiter ruled comes from learning when to pause, be silent and listen as well as when to move forward noisily.

Horizons

Seeks

Sagittarius is a seeker of knowledge and understanding. It asks, “what is true for me and how can I live in alignment with that truth?”

Hopes

Sagittarius season (when the Sun is in Sagittarius during November and December) often brings a desire for us all to expand our horizons, set new goals and reconnect with hope.

Adventure

Maps

Many Sagittarians will have a map tucked in their pocket because they are always going somewhere. They often have a plane to catch.

Bridges

Sagittarius and Jupiter are the chart components that build bridges in comparison to Capricorn and Saturn which build walls.

Inner Compass

A true Sagittarian knows that life is for the living which is an adventure not to be missed. When we stay curious, keep learning and trust our inner compass then we often find ourselves exactly where we are supposed to be.

Exploration

Ninth

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac.

Vision

Sagittarius carries the energy of exploration and examination for all that the world has to offer.

Horizon

The sign of the Archer is always looking beyond what is known, over the horizon toward what is possible. Sagittarius wants to understand life through lived experience and not just by theory alone.

Sagittarius Season

The Sun is in Sagittarius from around November 22nd to December 22nd.

Key Phrase

A Sagittarian key phrase is “I seek.”
