Sagittarius! About
Your Sign...
Sagittarians have
a positive outlook on life,
are full of enterprise,
energy, versatility, adventurousness
and eagerness to extend
experience beyond the physically
familiar. They enjoy travelling
and exploration, the more
so because their minds are
constantly open to new dimensions
of thought. They are basically
ambitious and optimistic,
and continue to be so even
when their hopes are dashed.
Their strongly idealistic
natures can also suffer
many disappointments without
being affected. They are
honorable, honest, trustworthy,
truthful, generous and sincere,
with a passion for justice.
They are usually on the
side of the underdog in
society they will fight
for any cause they believe
to be just, and are prepared
to be rebellious. They balance
loyalty with independence.
Sagittarians are usually
modest and are often religious,
with a strong sense of morality,
though they tend to overemphasize
the ethical codes they follow
and worship beliefs about
God rather than God Himself.
This means that, negatively,
they regard rigid, unloving,
intolerant adherence to
ritual and conventional
codes as more important
than the truths they symbolize
or embody. They sometimes
pay lip service to religions
and political parties in
which they have ceased to
believe because the outward
forms satisfy them, yet
they may not hesitate to
switch allegiance in politics
or change their system of
belief if they see personal
advantage to themselves
in doing so.
They have both profound
and widely ranging minds,
equipped with foresight
and good judgement, and
they can be witty conversationalists.
They love to initiate new
projects (they make excellent
researchers) and have an
urge to understand conceptions
that are new to them. they
think rapidly, are intuitive
and often original, but
are better at adapting than
inventing and are at their
best when working with colleagues
of other types of character
that compliment their own.
They are strong-willed and
good at organizing, a combination
that gives them the ability
to bring any project they
undertake to a successful
conclusion. Their generosity
can be balanced by their
extreme care at handling
their resources.
Sagittarians are ardent,
sincere and straightforward
in love, normally conventional
and in control of their
sexual natures. Yet if thwarted,
they may easily allow their
failure to embitter their
whole lives or they may
revenge themselves upon
the opposite sex by becoming
cynically promiscuous. They
are more apt then the average
to make an uncongenial alliance.
If their marriages are successful,
they will be faithful spouses
and indulgent parents; but
their innate restlessness
will inspire them to use
even the most satisfying
ménage as a base
from which to set out on
their travels. They need
to fell free and are often
faced with the choice of
allowing their careers to
take over their lives at
the expense of the love
of their spouse and family.
Sagittarian women are the
counterparts of their men;
even if they have no career
to rival their love, they
find it difficult to express
affection and may run the
risk of being thought frigid.
In other personal relationships
they are reliable, seldom
betraying any trust given
to them. They can, however,
be impulsively angry and
both male and female Sagittarians
know how to be outspoken
and exactly what expressions
will hurt their adversaries
most. On the other hand
they are magnanimous in
forgiving offenses and are
responsible when looking
after the elderly in the
family.
Their gifts fit Sagittarians
for a number of widely differing
professions. They are natural
teachers and philosophers
with a talent for expounding
the moral principles and
laws which seem to explain
the universe. This gift
enables them to be successful
churchmen on the one hand
and scientists on the other.
The law and politics also
suit them, as does public
service, social administration,
public relations and advertising.
Travel and exploration naturally
appeal to such restless
souls and, if their opportunities
are limited, they may find
something of travel and
change of scene in the armed
forces or through working
as a travelling salesman.
Others may make fine musicians
and, in the days before
automobiles, they were said
to be successful at horse
trading and all activities,
including sporting ones,
concerning horses. This
has been translated in modern
terms into an interest in
cars and aircraft - and
again with emphasis on the
sporting side racing, rallying
etc. They are said to make
good sports coaches, but
their tastes in this direction
may lead them into imprudent
gambling, though the gambling
instinct may be sublimated
by carrying it out professionally
as a bookmaker.
The vices to which Sagittarians
are prone are anger they
tend to flare up over trifles;
impatience - they want to
rush every new project through
immediately and demand too
much of colleagues who cannot
work at the pace they require;
and scorn of the inadequacies
of others while expecting
fulsome recognition of their
own efforts. They may in
one sense deserve recognition,
because in completing a
major project they will
sacrifice their health and
family relationships; in
their family's eyes they
may merit condemnation.
They can be exacting, domineering
and inconsiderate in the
work place; and boastful,
vulgar and extravagant in
their private lives. Their
restlessness, if excessive,
can jeopardize more than
their own stability. some
Sagittarians risk becoming
playboys, wasting their
lives away in frivolous
pursuits. Others can develop
a moralizing, religious
fanaticism or else turn
into hypocrites, their inner
prudishness disguised by
an outward appearance of
joviality. Another side
of the religiosity which
is a danger in Sagittarians
is superstition.

Possible
Health Concerns:
|
Sagittarius governs the
hips, thighs and sacral
area; subjects suffer from
ailments of the hips and
thighs and are liable to
sciatica and rheumatism.
An alleged deficiency of
silicon in their physiques
can give them poor skin,
nails and hair.
As they are often sportsmen
indulging in dangerous pursuits,
they are prone to accidents
which arise from these.
The ancient astrologers
mention falls from horses
and hurts from them and
other four-footed beasts.
The taking of risks in other
sports is a danger to the
modern Sagittarian, and
he is also liable to accidents
with fire and heat.

Problems
that may arise for
Sagittarians:
|
As with all sun signs, we
all have unique traits to
our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed,
or unrealized, problems
will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine
the problem and assess the
proper solution based on
the sun sign characteristics.
As a Sagittarius you may
see things below that really
strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If
you find yourself on the
receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you
are failing to express the
positive.
PROBLEM: Others
have no time for you as
you are apt to have too
many irons in the fire at
any given time.
SOLUTION: Be
sure that you have a 'product'
to match all the 'advertising'
you do. Is it fact or is
it fiction?
PROBLEM: Others
cease to confide in you
or to take you seriously.
SOLUTION: Try
not to exaggerate or be
contentious with others
as this could be embarrassing
if they feel you are not
trustworthy.
PROBLEM: Feeling
lost and disillusioned.
SOLUTION: Focus
upon one thing that will
satisfy you and work toward
that point.
PROBLEM: You
seem anchored in one spot,
unable to move forward.
SOLUTION: You
should try to think more
positive thoughts and set
some short term goals that
you can reach, then set
more. In this way you will
move ahead in your endeavors.
| Interesting
facts about Sagittarius: |
The Greek love for the horse
led to the ennoblement of
the centaur in myth and
legend. The Centaur Chiron
was known for his wisdom
and healing abilities. Nessus
was killed by Hercules for
trying to rape a woman under
his charge, and other centaurs
were renowned for their
weakness for drink. The
centaur symbolizes mankinds
dual nature as an intellectual
creature (the human half)
which was also a physical
animal (the horse half).

you confront in life. Topaz
makes you feel more in control
of yourself or the situations
you encounter and helps
you deal with them in a
competent fashion. It helps
you take the lead and handle
things in a competent fashion.
Tradition has it that Topaz
helped foretell the future,
enhance sexual energy, and
promote harmony.
