The Savvy Sagittarians

“However, although she is wild, do not expect her to fall in love with you immediately.”

This quote is enough to explain how hard it is to uproot Sagittarius from their belief. A Sagittarius can be wild and extroverted but they are toughest to be pleased or impressed. They are very unlikely to settle with the first person that shows interest in them, they are very cautious regarding who they choose and are really scared of people who come on too hard too fast. But once they decide to hold onto something they won’t just let it go they are indeed very focused and determined. Which means falling in love at a go is an impossible task for a Sagittarius but once it does it’s for a lifetime.

So if you are born in between November 21 to December 22, you must be a proud Sagittarius. You are a fire sign ruled by the largest planet i.e. Jupiter. Which makes them energetic and are known to be endlessly optimistic and free-spirited. Jupiter is the planet of expansion — it loves to learn, travel, and broaden its horizons — and their thirst for knowledge is written all over Sagittarius’ face. “Jupiter expands Sagittarius’s philosophy,” Stardust says. 

Through Sagittarius’ energy, Jupiter can try new things and say yes to new experiences in a way that it can’t in any other sign. Which brings us to another trait of Sagittarius that they hate to be told what to do, they love being adventurous and progressive. They can’t stand to be contained, thwarted or bossed about, and freedom is their catnip. Also being a fire sign adds up to this as fire signs are all about energy action and motivation. 

They are often quick to get inspired and make effective leaders. Saggitarius is known to be a very good and trustable friend and will always be there for the ones who need them, but a Sagittarius is the one to whom you will choose not to lie or hide the facts. They are highly intuitive and can read a person like a book and can instinctively pick up the things that are often missed by other people in a room. Therefore, #nofilter should be used when you know you are dealing with a Sagittarius. Added to this is one more thing that a Sagittarius would never tolerate that is being selfish, as helpful as a Sagittarius is to you, it expects you to be equally approachable. They will never be in a relationship or a circle that is selfish and will keep them unhappy. 

Now further talking about Sagittarius it is well known that it’s a mutable sign which refers to change, they all look forward to a new season and are a judicious mix of old and new. It is said that it often denotes the change in season from autumn to winter and comes after Scorpio which represents everything that comes after the cycle of life. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that it represents the end of something, it is rather the end and the new beginning intertwined. All of the signs with this quality have the ability to sense things before it happens, and this explains the intuitive nature of a Sagittarius. 

The constellation of Sagittarius was identified as the god Nergal in ancient Babylonia, a centaur-like creature firing an arrow from a bow. The arrow of this constellation points towards the star Antares, the “Heart of the Scorpion”, speaking of the necessity for change and strangely, the direction of life – towards death. Therefore a Sagittarius will always be seen guiding a scorpion towards the right direction. The other traits of a Sagittarian are that they do not hold onto grudges. Although a Sagittarius is highly motivated they can sometimes be very impractical in nature, this is because of their extreme philosophical nature that they sound very impractical and blindly optimistic to others. 

But looking at the brighter side, a Sagittarius is always fun to be around. They can amaze you with their sense of humour and straightforwardness at the same time. Which helps them to be very friendly as well as transparent in front of the others. The friendliest of all signs, a Sagittarius can be your best friend. They are, however, fun-loving, charming, and honest. Their creative minds will amaze you and keep you thoroughly entertained.
