Sagittarius Sign Dates, Traits, & More
Sagittarius Zodiac Sign Introduction
The least showy of the three fire signs but nevertheless just as outgoing, frank, and eager as the others. Whereas a Leo will tend to push himself forward in a gathering to be the center of attention, (and the Aries has already been and gone!) the Sagittarian will coolly wait for the best moment and often receive the best reaction by doing so. By fire sign standards they are rather sensitive folk and can feel emotions almost as if they were a water sign.
They share many qualities of the air sign Gemini when it comes to learning and the pursuit of worldly knowledge. However, they often lose interest soon after finding their goal and move on to the next quest. They are more adaptable and flexible than the other two fire signs and by nature very honest. But the biggest keyword to describe them is optimistic – for this reason, they rarely get on well with true Virgos, because that earth sign is the most pessimistic of all twelve signs. Travel is second nature to a Sagittarian, even if it is only in the mind. They share a high degree of independence and freedom with the air sign Aquarius, for which reason these two signs often gel well. Sagittarians are at their best when their mind and body have the freedom to explore things as they would like.
In relationships, Sagittarians often prefer the thrill of the chase to the actual conquest, and are generally very hot-blooded, especially if Scorpio figures highly in their chart.

About Sagittarius
Basics
Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac and is symbolized by the archer, while its symbol or glyph represents the archer’s bow and arrow. The Sun is in Sagittarius from around November 23 until around December 23 each year. Sagittarius is classified as being of the positive polarity (expressive and spontaneous), of the fire element (ardent, keen, energetic, and assertive), and of the mutable quality (adaptable and variable). Sagittarius displays an extensive, wide, deep, and free-ranging attitude, expressing freedom, and associated with an urge to explore beyond the immediately known environment.
Traits
The characteristic Sagittarius type seeks space, freedom, and opportunity through which to range and aspire to the highest of ambitions, both physically and mentally. Sagittarius is far-sighted, extensive in aims, ambitious, optimistic, sincere, open-minded, and frank. Ruled by the expansive planet Jupiter, Sagittarius is the natural, open-hearted extravert, being jovial, loving freedom, and seeking meaning and new experience. The wide, deep, and extensive nature of Sagittarius is displayed either physically, such as in sport, adventure, exploration, and foreign travel, or mentally, in deep, profound, or philosophical higher study. Gregarious, enthusiastic, and open, Sagittarius likes to understand from a broad and deep perspective. Sagittarius often loves sport and natural pursuits, exploring and adventure. Sagittarius is usually idealistic, foresighted, and high principled, though sometimes with religious and moralizing tendencies. Though for the most part happy-go-lucky, honest and cheerful, Sagittarius can nevertheless take its extensive and optimistic aim too far, becoming extravagant and exaggerating, with trouble focusing on the less welcome practical details.
Overuse of the Sagittarius manner can become boastful, careless, over-enthusiastic, and too restless. Without some counterpoint of structure, the boundless optimism of Sagittarius can become extremist, and irresponsible, and unreliable. Sagittarius’s inclination to be bluntly honest, frank, and, like an arrow, straightforward and to the point, can become tactless and inconsiderate, and sometimes wound like an arrow. Sagittarius’s optimism nevertheless often brings good luck and a broad experience of the world.
Health
Physically Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs, and sciatic nerves. Sagittarius can have a tendency to hip diseases, sciatica, rheumatic, and liver complaints. Sagittarius is especially associated with, or “ruled” by, the planet Jupiter.

The Milky Way lies in the direction of Sagittarius, thus giving us many interesting objects viewable even with binoculars. The Sun is in Sagittarius from late December until late January.
Mythology
The mythology behind Sagittarius is frequently confused with the stories of Centaurus, the Southern Centaur. Chiron (representing Centaurus) was a wise, and very gentle centaur, while Crotus (representing Sagittarius) was fiery and fierce. Crotus was a great hunter and raised by the muses, thus he had a love for the arts. The muses asked Zeus to honor Crotus with the constellation of Sagittarius.
The story of Centaurus begins with Cronus, the father of Zeus. Cronus assumed the form of a beautiful stallion in order to court Philyra. The fruit of their love was the most notable and honorable centaur (Half-human, half-horse), Chiron. Chiron, unlike most other centaurs, was very wise, gentle, and kind. He was a great scholar to many heroes. On one fateful day, Chiron’s student, Hercules, opened a bottle of wine. The other centaurs smelled the wine in the air and became angered because Hercules had not asked their permission to drink. The centaurs began to attack. Hercules slayed most of the centaurs and told them never to return. Chiron was watching the event take place from a distance. Hercules saw Chiron on the hilltop, and even though Hercules had a deep respect for Chiron, he could not tell it was him. So Hercules shot Chiron with a poison arrow. Zeus pitied his half-brother Chiron and placed him in the stars forever.
