FireMutableRuled by Jupiter

Sagittarius personality

Sagittarius is the zodiac's traveler, philosopher and comedian. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, Sagittarians are optimistic, honest and eager to learn how the world works. They want freedom to explore places, ideas and beliefs, and they can be refreshingly blunt. Their lesson tends to be follow-through: the vision is easy, the details are harder.

Sagittarius in love

Sagittarius is playful, affectionate and honest. They want a partner who is also a best friend and who is happy to try something new on a Tuesday. Feeling trapped is their relationship nightmare, so they do best with partners who have their own life and trust them. When they commit, it is usually with generosity and humor.

Sagittarius in friendship

Sagittarius friends are fun, spontaneous and brutally honest in a way that is usually well meant. They are the ones who pull you into the trip, the debate, the late-night drive. They may forget to text back, but they always show up when it matters.

Sagittarius at work

Sagittarius suits travel, teaching, publishing, law, coaching, outdoor work, entrepreneurship and international roles. They want meaning, not just a paycheck, and they get restless in routine desk roles.
