The Basics

Mercury in Sagittarius highlights your need for exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of knowledge. You are more interested in what is possible and what is on the horizon rather than what has already been done.  Subjects like philosophy, religion, politics, or education interest you, and you are more concerned with theories, abstractions, and concepts than their specific, physical applications. 

People who know you know that you don't beat around the bush – and are prone to say things for their shock value.  You are apt to say the first thing that pops into your head as you inherently believe filtering comments is untruthful.  Though honesty is always the best policy, you may need to learn to control your tongue, develop tact, and to think before speaking.

Relationships:

People with Sagittarius placements tend to be independent and free-spirited lovers who value their freedom and need a partner who respects and supports their individuality. They are adventurous and curious, always seeking new experiences and ideas to explore. 

As someone with Mercury in Sagittarius, your love of knowledge and exploration can make you an exciting and inspiring partner. However, your blunt and straightforward communication style can sometimes cause friction in relationships. Balancing your desire for honesty with a willingness to listen and be sensitive to your partner's feelings can help you build strong and lasting connections.
