The nature of the shooter

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth. Changeable means: He is flexible and open to new things. Fire means: He lives from enthusiasm. Jupiter gives him optimism, generosity and the urge to surpass himself.

People with the Sun in Sagittarius are seekers. They want to know what's behind things, like to travel, like to learn and like to discuss God and the world. Their confidence helps them get back up again even after setbacks.

Sagittarius is honest, often straightforward. He says what he thinks, and usually with humor. Freedom is important to him: he needs space to move, discover and develop his own beliefs.

The strengths of the shooter

• Confidence: Sagittarius sees opportunities where others see problems.
• Openness: He approaches strangers and ideas with curiosity.
• Humor: He can laugh at himself and cheer up others.
• Honesty: He says openly what he thinks.
• Generosity: He likes to share knowledge as well as his time.
• Foresight: He thinks big picture and gives direction.

Where the shooter gets in his own way

Sagittarius' honesty can become tactless if they overlook how their words are received. What he means as an open word sometimes hits others hard.

His desire for freedom also has dark sides. Obligations, routine and details make him restless, and sometimes he enthusiastically promises more than he can deliver. When things get hard, it's tempting to just move on.

This is how the Sagittarius grows beyond himself

• Stay when things get difficult: Not every narrow situation requires departure. Sometimes the meaning lies in endurance.
• Honest with warmth: Before speaking openly, ask yourself how it will be received by the other person.
• Promise less: It's better to promise less and keep it than to accept too much out of enthusiasm.
• Honor this: Not all good things lie over the horizon. Some things are waiting right in front of you.

Sagittarius in love

In love, Sagittarius is warm, adventurous and honest. He wants a person with whom he can discover the world, laugh and talk about big questions.

Tightness and jealousy scare him away. He needs trust instead of control. When he feels free, he likes to stay, because he wants to. Then he can be a very generous and encouraging partner.

Sagittarius often get along well with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) and with air signs (Libra, Aquarius). Gemini, his opposite sign, share his curiosity but see the world from a different perspective. The entire horoscope shows how two people really work together, for example in Kombin or in the Relationship analysis.

Sagittarius at work

At work, Sagittarius needs meaning and space. He wants to know what he is working for and is enthusiastic about tasks with broad horizons: teaching, advising, traveling, passing on knowledge.

Many Sagittarians can be found in education, international work, publishing, law, philosophy or tourism. Small-scale administration tires them out. It is helpful to have a team in which someone keeps an eye on the details.

Sagittarius in friendship and family

As a friend, Sagittarius is entertaining, generous, and always up for an adventure. He often has friends from many walks of life and countries.

In the family, Sagittarius brings optimism and new perspectives. He encourages others to think outside the box. He can learn to be present in everyday life and reliably keep promises to his family.
