What Sagittarius is like
Sagittarius is the energy that expands the horizon: it seeks meaning, truth, and adventure. Its archetype is the explorer and the philosopher, optimistic, blunt, freedom-loving. It needs to believe in something larger and share what it discovers. Its challenge tends to be excess, easy promises, and dogmatism.
In love
In love it needs freedom, humor, and shared growth: the ideal bond is also an adventure. Jealousy and control make it flee; sincerity wins its heart.
At work
At work it brings vision, enthusiasm, and big-picture thinking. It thrives in education, travel, publishing, and big ideas; fine detail bores it.
