The Basics

If Scorpio is the master of transformation, Sagittarius is the eternal seeker of knowledge and adventure. 

You possess a free-spirited nature and a love of independence, and you are not one to be tied down by convention or tradition. You have a contagious enthusiasm and optimism that inspires others to dream big and think outside the box.

You tend to be idealistic, optimistic, dependable, open-minded, friendly, honest, and versatile. However, you can also be tactless, irresponsible, showy, boastful, self-righteous, arrogant, quarrelsome, fanatical, dogmatic, and dictatorial. You like any work that offers foresight and a willingness to take a chance, but at the same time, you try to avoid detailed work.

You are usually opinionated and outspoken, sometimes bluntly, with a willingness to inspire with shock value. More often than not, simply blurting out your ideas is innocent and due to your relaxed nature in your never-ending search for truth and wisdom.

Others may perceive you as pretty tactless, and the statement that "the truth hurts" fits your way of thinking. But you freely say shocking things because you know that what you feel is truthful, and you inherently know that secretly or not, your sentiment about the issue is on everyone’s minds. Regardless of your undiplomatic remarks, others instinctively feel as if you mean them no real harm and are only interested in raising their consciousness.

You love being outdoors, large animals, nature, and sports.  

Philosophical:

As a Sagittarius, you have a deep interest in the bigger picture of life, and you are always searching for answers to the big questions. You have a love of knowledge and a thirst for understanding the world around you, and you are always open to new perspectives and ideas. Your love of philosophy and intellectual pursuits can sometimes make you come across as aloof or distant, but those who take the time to get to know you will find a kind and generous soul.

Honest:

You have a strong moral compass and a deep sense of integrity. You are not one to sugarcoat the truth or shy away from expressing your honest opinions, even if they are unpopular. While your bluntness can sometimes rub people the wrong way, you are admired for your honesty and straightforwardness.

Restless:

Your Sun in Sagittarius gives you a deep restlessness and a constant need for change and adventure. You are not one to sit still for long, and you are always on the lookout for new experiences and challenges. Your restlessness can sometimes make it difficult for you to commit to long-term plans or projects, but when you do find something that truly captivates you, your enthusiasm and dedication are unmatched.

Idealistic:

You possess a deep idealism and a belief that the world can be a better place. You have a strong sense of justice and fairness, and you are not one to tolerate injustice or oppression. While your idealism can sometimes lead you to be unrealistic or impractical, it also gives you the drive and determination to fight for what you believe in.

Traveler:

Your love of adventure and exploration often leads you to travel to far-flung places and seek out new experiences. You have a deep curiosity about other cultures and ways of life, and you are always eager to learn more about the world beyond your own backyard. Your love of travel and exploration can sometimes make it difficult for you to put down roots, but it also gives you a rich and diverse perspective on life.

Cosmodynes

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores for your Sun's Power and Harmony for more insight. Your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average. (As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.) Transits to your Sun, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.

A Harmonious Sun in Sagittarius:

• Your optimistic and adventurous spirit is balanced by a deep sense of honesty and integrity and you value truth and authenticity in all aspects of life.
• You have a natural gift for making friends, as the typical Sagittarian can go anywhere in the world without ever feeling lonely, for they acquire friends along the route.
• Your enthusiasm and confidence are contagious, and you inspire others to pursue their passions and dreams.
• You have a natural talent for communication and storytelling, and you use this skill to spread knowledge and inspiration to those around you.

A Discordant Sun in Sagittarius:

• When your desire for freedom turns into recklessness or irresponsibility, it is important to remind yourself of the consequences of your actions. Take calculated risks and consider the impact of your choices on yourself and others.
• To manage feelings of restlessness or boredom, it can be helpful to find healthy outlets for your energy, such as travel, adventure, or learning something new. Avoid making impulsive decisions or neglecting your responsibilities.
• To prevent your confidence from turning into arrogance or stubbornness, it can be helpful to stay open to feedback and criticism from others. Remember that there is always more to learn and that everyone has something valuable to offer.
• Remember that honesty and integrity are important values to uphold, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable. Avoid making promises you cannot keep or manipulating the truth to suit your needs.
• Work on balancing your adventurous spirit with a sense of responsibility and commitment. Recognize when your desire for freedom is conflicting with your obligations and take steps to prioritize your responsibilities.

Relationships:

With Sun in Sagittarius, relationships are an adventure and an opportunity for growth and learning. You have a free-spirited nature and a love for exploration and new experiences, which can make you an exciting and adventurous partner.

You value your independence and may find it challenging to commit to a long-term relationship, but when you do, you are committed and loyal. You need a partner who understands your need for freedom and can match your adventurous spirit.

Your honesty and straightforward nature can be both a blessing and a curse in relationships. While you appreciate partners who are open and honest with you, you may also struggle with tact and diplomacy when expressing your own thoughts and feelings.

You are attracted to partners who are optimistic, adventurous, and have a sense of humor. You value a partner who can share your sense of wanderlust and your thirst for knowledge and growth.

It is important for you to maintain your sense of independence and to continue pursuing your own interests and passions, even while in a relationship. At the same time, you must learn to balance this with a willingness to compromise and a commitment to building a deep emotional connection with your partner.
