Take a chance with me
Adventurous, entertaining, enthusiastic, and a heck of a lot of fun to be around, Sagittarius is like a sparkling mermaid in a sea of mere fish. Life as an Archer, the symbol of this sign, may be challenging, but it will never be dull. So take a chance and hang out with one; you'll have the time of your life. That is, if you can keep up. The largely experiential Sagittarian enjoys a lifetime of travel to faraway places as well as endless journeys of the mind. As long as there is a new path to be explored or an adventure to be had, you'll find this fire sign at the center of it all.
Sagittarius has a lot of fun in life but also takes its fun-loving seriously, especially its own search for authentic identity, which begins at an early age. Like Scorpio, it is a truth-seeker and has little patience for subterfuge and timidity. Sagittarius has huge amounts of energy for its various causes. The true Sagittarius is a rule-breaker and a crusader, always in search of the romantic ideal, or whatever that might be in the moment. What sets Sagittarian energy apart is its extraordinary ability to soar above the ordinary, bringing an unusual way of viewing or doing things to every pursuit. Boredom is the enemy and sameness is to be avoided at all costs with this sign.
The ninth house calls its natives to a higher path, and lucky Sagittarius is always just one step ahead of its earthbound peers. There is no cause too insignificant, no goal too unattainable for Sagittarius. This can, of course, create problems! Even the youngest Sagittarian will sacrifice the commonplace and the ordinary for an interesting and worthwhile cause. Sagittarius succeeds in its goals by sacrificing the tried-and-true route most people follow. They are out-of-the-box thinkers who dare to say what most of the rest of us have only been thinking. On the negative side, this can get many Archers into a heap of trouble from time to time. You will probably find as many Sagittarians in jail as you will leading a bunch of lemmings off a cliff.
Looking down from atop the mountain, Sagittarius often sees the zigzagged route that got him there, rather than a straight line. That’s because for those born under the sign of Jupiter, it’s all about the journey, and the journey is all about following your passion and instinct and living an authentic life. For Sagittarius, success is less of a goal and more of an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride. They may not always be thrill-seekers in terms of becoming bungee jumpers, skydivers, or rock climbers, but they tend to play Russian Roulette with their life path, financial security, and even sense of home more than any other sign. But you can't rein this side of their personality in without making them miserable. It's just who they are. Life as a Sagittarius is an endless adventure!
