Sagittarius Character Traits

Sagittarius is the Changing Fire of the zodiac, with the sign of the Archer. Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac. They love to explore! The new, the different, the strange, the exotic, Sagittarius wants to see it all. They are not afraid to look at the atrocities of life either. Sagittarius knows that for every magical wonder, there is an equally horrible fear. Their goal in life is to stay in the magical exploratory space, and not lose their wonder at the beauty of life to the mire of the mundane.

Sagittarius brings a unique approach to every situation they are confronted with. When your problems or relationships feel stuck, it’s time to seek out a solid Sag buddy and get some exciting ideas flowing. Sagittarius people will really look at your situation and allow it to be completely different than anything they’ve seen before. Sagittarius doesn’t need boxes or labels as much as the rest of us. They make excellent tailored service people or craftspeople because their work is really made to fit the person it’s for.

Sagittarius people are more comfortable with change and evolution than many. They can see the potential of an idea before it’s even fully formed. When they’re inspired, they are ahead of their time. Sagittarius people are trendsetters and fad changers. They see the amazing potential of things before they really take off.

Learning is very important to Sagittarius. They want to keep moving and changing, so oftentimes they are called to a travelling lifestyle or one that requires that they constantly keep learning. They have to keep expanding their minds, and the minds of those around them or they become stagnant and dissatisfied.

The flip side of exploration and change is that Sagittarius has a hard time staying put and are easily misunderstood. Sometimes they are so far ahead of their time that the people around them feel disconnected, and they themselves feel isolated. Sagittarius will explore an idea or ideology, and take it home to share with others, but others sometimes misunderstand the message entirely, or dismiss it as too far “out there”.  Sagittarius is an explorer; they are out there challenging the status quo and looking for better ways to do things. Sagittarius’ challenge in life is to go slow enough with the explanation of their changing spirit that the people who love them can keep up!
