THE ARCHER Ruled by Jupiter Masculine, Positive, Mutable Fire Sign

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign representing directness, freedom, and adventure. You are generally honest, open, yet argumentative and have a dislike for petty details. Its symbol is the arrow, which once fired will find its target. This often applies to seeking out new experiences such as new lifestyles or adventures. You are very ambitious and have an open and communicative mind. Your ability to think positively will be of great help in reaching your goals. Here you can rely on the ruler of Sagittarius, which is Jupiter, to provide assistance, if it becomes necessary. This is because Jupiter represents expansion.

You have an inherently responsible nature and concern yourself with the welfare of society, as well as your own. You tend to keep your finger on the pulse of public opinion, which gives you the ability to predict the future with sometimes prophetic accuracy. You enjoy travelling to exotic lands, whether in reality or just in your imagination. You appreciate it when your work and abilities are recognised by others, and your highly developed creativity enables you to broaden your horizons and develop your personality. You should look to the house where your Sun lies to determine the area of life in which to expand your experiences.

You may possess quite a philosophical nature. Given this, you are fully aware that the phenomena of civilisation are the result of human thought and activity. You are prepared to venture where others would never dream of going. You want to understand, experience, and test everything in your search for stimulation and excitement.

Your freedom and independence is important to you. If Sagittarius finds himself in jail, he will be the first to plan and execute an escape! You are not particularly cautious and tend to make hasty decisions. Your straightforward approach means that all of your affairs are strictly above board. Your partner should be thick-skinned, since you tend to tell it how it is. You show no mercy in conflict situations, but gain few points from others because you also tend to lose your repose very easily. Excess anxiety may lead to depression and a loss of stamina. Your independent nature probably means that you have a disdain for housework. However, you can be a desirable, charming, and relaxed partner. For you, learning restraint will allow you to refocus your energies toward inspiration and wisdom.
