Sagittarius (♐) (Greek: Τοξότης, "Toxotes", Latin: "Sagittarius") is the ninth astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Sagittarius. It spans the 240-270th degree of the zodiac, between 234.75 and 270 degree of celestial longitude, which the Sun transits on average between November 23 to December 21 each year. Individuals born during either of these dates, depending on which system of Astrology they choose to follow, may be called Sagittarians Sagittarius is a centaur, half man and half horse.
Confidence makes Sagittarius a popular party guest. You are well-liked because you tend to express great optimism about the future. But confidence and optimism may throw relationships out of whack when your partner displays inadequacies. And yet, when left alone, you pine for a devoted lover so deeply that you give up the chase and surrender to lower standards.
Sagittarius has the symbol of 'The Archer'. Sagittarius have a way with words like no other. They try to come across nice and friendly but normally end up hurting the feelings of others or just downright annoying others. They are not at all gifted with a talent for dishing out compliments. Most often compliments will come out more like insults but they don’t mean it.
A Sagittarian tries his best to be cheerful and friendly, but fails miserably.
On top of that, he won't understand why you are so annoyed with him. It will
help to remember that his personality traits do not include wickedness and he
never meant to insult you.
Even though his words seemed to be too harsh,
they were spoken in total innocence. Even when he tries to correct his mistake,
he will add to the damage already done. The Irony is that a Sagittarian believes
that he is the most diplomatic person on the face of this planet. Sagittarius
people are very sharp and are an interesting fusion of humor, intellect and
sizzling drive. Vices like deceit and dishonesty do not form a part of their
characteristics profile. They are restless and find it difficult to be still for
too long.
They love animals and take good care of them. A typical
Sagittarius fears nothing and, at times, may get attracted to danger. He is not
the one to keep his thoughts to himself. Infact, what is in his mind and heart
will instantly be on his lips. He is frank and innocent like a child.
He has many friends and all of them are truly loyal to him. Nobody can remain
angry with a Sagittarius for too long. This is because even though he may have
said some, not so nice, things to you, he never had the intention of hurting
you. He was completely oblivious of its effects and the friends know it.
If he ever sees you down, he will be the first person to cheer you up. It's
just that he miserably fails in that too. However, every now and then,
Sagittarians will turn up with such a compliment that will instantly lift up
your spirits. Then, you will fall in love with them again. They are completely
extroverted, very talkative and totally straightforward. A Sagittarian will
usually come across as a very cheerful and pleasant person. However, he has a
violent temper also, which is aroused when people try to push him around or try
to get too close.
An unfair accusation or an insult to his honesty also
ignites his temper. After his temper has cooled down, he will try to make
penance and will help you apply medicine. Sagittarians
are rebels at heart and adhering to social norms is not what they can handle.
They love to perform before an audience and usually seek lime light, they are
the one who will seek career in media, show business and performance. Travel
excites them and religion interests them. Just like a child, a Sagittarius is
naive, fearless and optimistic and dislikes responsibilities.
Tie him
with chain of responsibilities or restrict him can make him unhappy as well as
rebellious. Mood spells are completely unfamiliar to him. They can fall prey for
Gambling easily. He falls in love
effortlessly, but commitment and marriage is what he is not too comfortable
with. He will go on thinking about it, considering it thoroughly and may still
end up with a mistake. Some of the most unpleasant personality traits of a
Sagittarius include sarcasm, eeriness and the inability to keep a secret.
However, almost all of these traits can be overcome, if he is determined. He
will give you a loan, without even bothering to ask for its repayment.
abandoned, impoverished and helpless always get his help. Sagittarians have
excellent memories and can remember even the smallest incidents of their lives,
with the minutest of details but hey may forgot trivial things like his where he
has kept his book. A Sagittarius is incapable of deceit and if at all he tells a
lie, he always ends up getting caught. He makes you laugh, is fun to be with,
brightens up the day and can make even the impossible dreams come true.
Sagittarius female are just the opposite sex of male Archer. She is the chipper woman in the center of the room, that everyone is seemed to be drawn to. She is open like a book, but not easy to read, because she hides deep emotions and feelings under a humorous smile. The conversation you receive from this female is going to be very engaging and inspiring. The mind of this female wants to be stimulated by the people she is around. If you can’t keep her attention, she moves on quickly. She does this often with the opposite sex, because of her low tolerance to boredom.
She is constantly aiming for something higher to feed her mind body and soul. She is also adventures into the spiritual aspects of life making it known to everyone around her that she gives her time to spiritual beliefs. Optimistic, caring, and spontaneous are words that also describe this woman. Remember this woman is blunt so asking for her advice will only bring the underlying truth into the light, so be cautious.
Sagittarius is a well adjusted person with no emotional problems holding them back. They just want to explore the world and not fret about emotions and feelings. Others may be hurt by their lack of commitment but they don't care, that's not why they are on this planet, they are here to gain wisdom, learn and explore. Sagittarius has problems finishing some projects they started if it takes too long, they want immediate results and will move on to the next project if it takes too long.
This is not because of laziness, Sagittarius are far from lazy but this motivation to move on is due to their hatred of boredom. Boredom is their fear and instead of facing it, they will up and leave in search of something more stimulating.
Sagittarius are not emotional people but they are easily hurt by a careless selfish action but they bounce back pretty soon. They don't dwell on hurt because it is a waste of their energy.
Talk to them, ask them questions about themselves, share stories, and make them laugh, Keep your emotional distance and they will be attracted to you. Don’t ask him any intimate questions. That’s it. Simple.
Suggest an outdoor date, something wild and wacky like floating on a boat down the river then having a picnic by the riverside, and anything. They love activities. These are the easiest people to get a date with but don’t think that this is written in stone, when it comes to commitment, you won’t find them close. Enjoy the time you've spent with Sagittarius and be prepared to move on or at least share them with others because they will be doing the same.
