🌜Moon Child🌛

Personality

Sagittarius’ traits are derived from its active, masculine, or yang qualities, making this sign oriented toward assertive engagement with the outer world. Alive in both a Sagittarius woman or Sagittarius man, those born with the centaur as their rising, sun, or moon sign have enthusiastic energy in their core personality; like the joyous, benevolent qualities of Jupiter.

As a mutable sign, the Centaur holds the power to be a change-maker, giving those with prominent Sagittarius in their charts a natural affinity for adaptation, exploring the world, as well as teaching and practicing diverse forms of spiritual devotion and philosophy. Ruled by expansive Jupiter, Sagittarius natives can be thought of as the “seekers” of the zodiac who like to expand their minds by seeking out new perspectives and experiences.

Strengths

The primary strength of Sagittarius is their optimism. Being born with a bold, jovial disposition, Sagittarius natives usually find it easy to feel happy, enthusiastic, and to see the bright side of life. Being influenced by Jupiter’s affirming and confident nature, Sagittarians rarely succumb to self-doubt and are usually able to propel themselves forward in life, believing that everything will work out for the best.

The Centaur’s thirst for travel and adventure takes on an epic significance, where they see their lives unfolding like the plot of a mythopoetic tale, always carrying them to the right place, at the right time. Since their lives are likely to be filled with fascinating experiences, they are typically wonderful storytellers and great teachers, weaving universal messages of truth and inspiration into their lessons and tales.

Personal integrity is very dear to Sagittarians, and they will have a difficult time following the status quo or suffering what they feel to be false or inauthentic roles, ideas, or laws. When a Sagittarius feels moved by a cause, they’ll express what’s in their minds and hearts with great zeal, and conviction.

Like their fire sign neighbors, you will always know where you stand with a Sagittarius, but since they aspire to a sense of higher philosophy and greater truth, they rarely hold a grudge or have time to be petty.

Sagittarians are very unlikely to be possessive or materialistic since their lives prioritize being able to change, move, and adapt easily. Though they can be non-committal, they are also rarely jealous, extending the same freedoms to others that would also love to enjoy themselves.

Weaknesses

Some sources of weakness for Sagittarius are rooted in their great strengths. Being a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius will passionately state their opinions or principles in the moment, yet reserve the right to always change their mind, stating just as passionately their new views later on. This can be disorienting for others who were sure they knew their Sag colleague’s position on a matter, giving them a reputation for being unpredictable, or at times unreliable.

Due to their adventurous spirit, and love of change and travel, Sags are famously non-committal when it comes to plans, as they also reserve the right to change their agendas with their moods. When trying to get a Sagittarius lover to commit to a long-term relationship, people need to manage their expectations, as this fire sign loves to live in the moment and can sometimes break the hearts of those they leave behind.

The Archer’s optimism is generally positive, and even infectious, but they can become so enamored with their ideals that they become very ungrounded and unrealistic, finding regular life and its limitations to be inconvenient as well as disappointing. Sagittarius children, especially, will benefit from guidance on how to add healthy structure and commitment to their lives and friendships, so that they grow up with a sense of support when they need it most.

In classical astrology, Jupiter is associated with wise teachers and kings, giving natives from this sign a bold, authoritative way of speaking. This can verge on condescension, however, if they are not respectful of those they are communicating with, giving the other party the feeling of being spoken down to, or arrogantly dismissed. Like all fire signs, Sagittarius will have to manage their impulsivity, impatience, and short temper, which can present as the Centaur’s famous “brutal honesty”.
