Sagittarius Personality

Sagittarius is the explorer and philosopher of the zodiac, ruled by Jupiter and propelled by an insatiable hunger for knowledge, experience, and freedom. Those born under this sign are the eternal optimists, always certain that just around the next corner lies a great adventure or profound truth. Sagittarius casts their nets wide — they are interested in everything from ancient philosophy to foreign cultures, from extreme sports to spiritual traditions. Their openness and enthusiasm are infectious, and they have a talent for inspiring others to reach beyond their comfort zones. Bluntness is their hallmark: Sagittarius says what they think, which can be refreshingly honest or accidentally hurtful. Above all, they need freedom — freedom to roam, to question, to learn, and to change direction whenever a new horizon beckons.

Sagittarius Career & Vocation

Sagittarius flourishes in careers that involve travel, learning, teaching, and the expansion of horizons. They make excellent professors, travel writers, philosophers, foreign correspondents, lawyers, clergy, and international business people. Their enthusiasm and broad perspective make them natural motivational speakers and coaches. Sagittarius needs variety and autonomy — rigid desk jobs drain their spirit rapidly. Work that involves different cultures, big ideas, and continual learning is their ideal.

✦ Astro Quote
Our modern science begins with astronomy. Instead of saying that man was led by psychological motives, they formerly said he was led by his stars. ... The puzzling thing is that there is really a curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time. Therefore we have to conclude that what we call psychological motives are in a way identical with star positions. Since we cannot demonstrate this, we must form a peculiar hypothesis. This hypothesis says that the dynamics of our psyche is not just identical with the position of the stars, nor has it to do with vibrations - that is an illegitimate hypothesis. It is better to assume that i is a phenomenon of time. ... The stars are simply used by man to serve as indicators of time... - Carl G. Jung in 1929
