SAGITTARIUS SIGN 2006
Sagittarius the
Archer is a fun-loving masculine sign, the ninth sign of the tropical zodiac.
The Sun on his annual journey shines through Sagittarius from Nov 22 to Dec 21,
though it can vary depending on the year. Symbolizing our inner nature, the Sun
stands for the essential character of our true self, but Sagittarius is
traditionally ruled by the fortunate planet Jupiter, the mythological lord of
the gods. Jupiter was known to the ancient Greeks as Zeus, from which we get the
Latin deus, meaning God.
Mutable,
change-loving Sagittarius governs long-distance travel, matters of the higher
mind (philosophy, religion and the law), cultural pursuits – and having a good
time! It is a fire sign, so Sagittarians are positive, forthright communicators
who love traveling – although you do tend to be restless and hate to take
orders.
The Sun is bright in Sagittarius. It favours social status, the higher mind and
travel, especially in pursuit of idealistic aims in faraway places. Sagittarians
are idealists and usually much in demand socially, because you are like a breath
of fresh air.
Search for Truth and Knowledge
Sagittarius is a dual sign, which has (of course) both an up and a down-side.
The symbols for Sagittarius are the hunter (archer) and the centaur, a mythical
half-man, half-horse. These signify the search for truth and knowledge, as well
as the constant pursuit of adventure and new ideas. Intellectual curiosity
covers a wide range of subjects, but you do get bored and restless when
surrounded by dull people or circumstances. You would rather learn on your own,
through travel and experience, than endure structured classroom environments and
routine work assignments. However, having broadened your knowledge and gained
experience in the world on your own, you could become an excellent teacher or
administrator in the very educational system you once found so restricting.
You readily adapt to change and home is where you hang your hat. This is both a
strength, because it is a survival mechanism, and a weakness because it makes
you vulnerable to the demands and influence of others. Frank Sagittarius does
not hesitate to give an honest opinion, which can seem tactless at times –
although it is rarely your intention to be cruel. You have a ready wit and
appreciate the humour in even the grimmest situations.
Energy and Enthusiasm
Needless to say, you much prefer to be the boss in any situation and must
constantly watch your tongue in the unhappy event that you find yourself
(temporarily!!) in the position of an underling. Before you assess the
practicality or worth of what you are doing, before you sort out your true
emotions, and before you take time to reason things out intellectually, you have
a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. Communication-oriented
Sagittarians are forever bubbling with energy and enthusiasm. Independent and
hard to pin down for long, this is the sign of the bachelor, but even married
Sagittarians seek to maintain some aspect of personal independence.
Jupiter, the benefic planet of fortune and good luck, endows a generous nature
with a friendly, optimistic disposition. A natural politician, you like knowing
everyone and going everywhere, for life is something to be enjoyed every day.
Addicted to all the good things, you know how to get maximum enjoyment from
them, but too much of a good thing can be problematic, and prudence is difficult
for most Sagittarians to acquire. Being overly spiritual or too philosophical,
for example, gets you too far out of touch with the real world. Despite heroic
efforts to be prudent in one area, you can still manage to zoom into bankruptcy
by overindulging elsewhere. On the other side of the ledger, your attempts to be
prudent can get so far out of line that you can turn into a miser.
Passion for Sports Enthusiastic Sagittarius has a passion for sports. Physically
challenging endeavors of all kinds, including archery, jogging, hang gliding,
sailing, and fishing (especially for big game fish) are favorite activities. One
big challenge to overcome may be the battle of the bulge, when your fondness for
food, glorious food and a good drop finally catches up with you. A natural
gambler and risk-taker, you usually come out on the winning side, especially
when you try your luck at horse or dog racing. You love music, art, dance, and
drama and no doubt have considerable talent in these areas.
Sagittarius rules the thighs, hips, and, to some extent, the feet. Physical
problems, however, are apt to be the result of unrestricted diet or an
over-indulgent pursuit of other pleasures. Sagittarians are also subject to an
overpowering urge to gamble, which can be ruinous for some.
Your colours are maroon, tan, navy, orange, and cobalt blue. The ancients
associated the ruby with Sagittarius, while modern astrologers give this sign
the turquoise. Your highly adaptable, dual personality can easily associate
itself with both gems. Because Sagittarius is associated with bigness in
general, flowers for this sign include the large blooms such as huge mums,
hydrangeas, dahlias and peonies.
