SAGITTARIUS
Mythology of Sagittarius
In the zodiac Sagittarius represents the centaur half-horse half-man, the gap between the bestial forces connected to the earth and the spiritual forces aspiring towards the sky, it is armed with a bow, whose arrow recalls the symbol of elevation, of the goal to reach, of the necessary self-projection on what one aims at.
It’s the supreme god of gods, Zeus, father of Olympus, commander of Heaven, omnipotent, who suffers no comparison and masters thunder, he represents wisdom, civilization, duality between instincts and maturity…

Sagittarius Psychology in everyday life and at work
Sagittarius symbolizes the climax of autumn and the triumph of the Night-Force. The circle of life has continued to decline as it did with Libra and Scorpio, and now it has faded away. We are at the end of the southwestern quadrant, which it home to the Houses of social development (the 7th, 8th, and 9th houses).
Idealistic and charismatic, filled with an energy of expansion, a thirst for knowledge, freedom, and vitality, they are agents of spirituality of the zodiac cycle.
The Sagittarius centaur is divided in its very nature into two parts, with its primal animal aspect and its spiritual aspect, which yearns for the highest spheres. On one hand, as “bon vivants”, they appreciate comfort, with a real taste for materialism, while on the other hand they loathe frivolity and are prepared to engage in any level of asceticism to discover their own spiritual truth.
Unconditionally optimistic, their enthusiasm is contagious. Sagittarius is undoubtedly the most likable and optimistic sign of the zodiac ! Full of humor and irony, often insolent, their nature often drives them to excess (Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is their ruling planet), but they galvanize those around them. Their candidness, kindness, and spontaneity are also part of their strong personality.
Ambitious on every level, their fundamental goal is to further their personal development (concrete or spiritual). Self-taught, they like to find new passions, to discover and learn, and essentially to do everything that could extend their knowledge. This sign has multiple talents and skills, and a versatile, chameleon-like side. Very smart, and good communicators, they often give good advice borrowed from older wisdom, pragmatism, and logic.
Sagittarius are perpetually questioning all that is spiritual, philosophical, religious, and metaphysical. They like to study these subjects and apply them, for example putting them into practice sociologically. They also study concepts of Law, justice, legislation and morals, and sometimes politics. They are interested in new concepts and easily adapt to them (Sagittarius is a Mutable sign) or even modify them as needed.
Sagittarians have an intense need for freedom, independence, open space, and the outdoors : they cannot bear being “confined” (even more in the psychological sense than in the physical sense). These needs give them a love of travel (in the physical sense and also in terms of psychological escape), adventure, exploration, tourism, foreign cultures, or any other change of scene.
Sagittarius in love : are you compatible ?
Sagittarians love with great intensity. Their animal-like nature makes them very carpe diem and enthusiastic as lovers, and their uncompromising and excessive side also pushes them into romantic passions that resemble a perfect metaphysical ideal.
Charismatic and stylish, they prefer partners who demonstrate shrewdness and optimism as they do, coupled with a harmonious and well-proportioned physique. Chivalrous with their partner in daily life, they provide financial security, and their love is sincere, deep, and lasting.
Charming, flirtatious, and self-assured, they show themselves to be more loving and sensitive in reality than they seem when they swagger about.
It is useless to put them in a cage : you would be wasting your time ! If you truly love a Sagittarian, give them freedom and independence : it is a risk of course but it is still the best way to really hold on to that special soul.
How to seduce Sagittarius : show your different knowledge, your capacities of understanding, exchange to remake the world, to show your philosophy of life, contemplate beautiful wild landscapes…
What repels Sagittarius : the head-scratches over petty and small baseness or details of daily life, everything that will bring them back to too much concreteness, heaviness, slowness, confinement, deprivation of their freedom.
