One’s most powerful Signs give a picture of the natural, instinctive motivation (likes and dislikes, attitudes and reactions) and enable one to judge whether or not a vocation will bring personal satisfaction.

An eager search for knowledge points to the ideas, precepts, and ideals that cushion the Sagittarian motivation. An urge to grow and broaden mentally inspires them to ask questions and then speculate upon the answers constantly. They visualize conceptions in their wholeness rather than in their parts. They bypass observable facts for their own notions as they think things out from a given premise to a natural conclusion. They are essentially intellectuals with an active intuition; mental journeys allow them to get away from themselves and their environment so that they can broaden their horizons.

They dislike being disappointed about their ideals, political diplomacy, talk that skirts the point, formal etiquette, and closed-in areas or places of restraint and confinement. Their patience is tried with the natural growth of plans and projects.

They are at their best when called upon to make lightning-quick decisions, to use physical and mental activity, and to engage in the zest of an argument. They prefer effectiveness rather than elegance. They like to consider both their life and their work as a game to be won. They need recreation because at times their intensity tends to burn up their vitality.
