The Star Cross series focuses on astrological compatibility. Although it is much more complex than the sun sign, we start with the sun because it is an important part of the astrological profile. After all, this is your core personality.
This month, we take a look at Sagittarius. Please keep in mind that this will be general information. As this series progresses, we’ll learn many other details so that you can fully understand the Sagittarius in your life (or yourself).
Things you need to know about Sagittarius:
element: fire
quality: Variable
Symbol: Archer
Rule the planet: Jupiter
Key phrases: I understand.
Features: Honest, adventurous, optimistic, freedom-loving
If you want to get along with a Sagittarius, remember two things: truth and freedom. simple? Yes and no. Sagittarius is known for being outspoken and independent, which can be a harsh turn-off for sensitive people. But if you learn to adapt to the atmosphere, you’ll find these fiery archers to be excellent companions.
Sagittarius is fickle, which means change is crucial to their happiness. They hate being tied down. You have to give them space to breathe, roam, think, and explore. If you can keep busy while they’re out seeing the world, you won’t have time to worry about what they’re doing. Because they are honest, they will let you know what they are doing. See how this works?
Since they tend to fly around the globe, these restless souls need to wait before settling down. If they cooperate too early, they may become dissatisfied later. When that happens, a good midlife crisis can do the trick. While some Sagittarians are capable of commitment, they do better if they have life experience first. However, if they have a partner with a nomadic spirit (looking at you, Gemini), they can stick around for the long haul.
Sagittarius tends to be carefree, which is an attractive quality. It’s fun to be with them. Spend time with these optimists and you’ll feel better in no time. If you’re a cynical person, their snappy demeanor can be annoying. Even so, it’s hard not to like the Archers.
They are a fire sign, so they have a million passions and plenty of energy. It can be challenging to keep up with them! Physical activity can unsettle them, so you should be active too. Exercise, exercise or multitask – get ready to move your body!
While Sagittarius are known for their honesty, sometimes their expressions can be cruel. You need to have a thick skin because the truth will sting. Most of them are not well-intentioned liars. When they try to lie, their expressions show it immediately. However, I have met some people who are quite accomplished in the art of deception. While they didn’t get away with it for long, their performance was convincing. The reason: they are sincere, so you assume they are telling the truth. This ability to convey trust means they can sometimes fool some people.
Falling in love with a Sagittarius: If you want to attract a Sagittarius man, it’s best to be direct. Don’t play games. They hate that. Instead, let them know you like them immediately. Chase them a little bit. They will enjoy being pursued. Since they are a fire sign, they will ultimately want to take the lead. For dates, you need to think about new experiences instead of the usual dinner and movie. (Stop Netflix and relax…they want to get out and about). Tickets to cool concerts, road trips to interesting destinations, long hikes or horseback riding win over their restless hearts. Dialogue is also important for archers. If you keep up with current events and love philosophy, you’ll have plenty to talk about. They are also outrageous flirts. If you are a jealous type of person, this may be the last thing you feel.
Sagittarius parents: Open communication, fun, adventure, and trust make Sagittarius great parents. These free spirits allow their children to be themselves. They never try to mold them into miniatures. However, they tend to be a bit freewheeling when it comes to discipline. They want to be friends with children, so they will be more easy-going than other signs. In some cases, they may be ignored. Their pursuit of freedom at all costs can lead to irresponsibility. Remember, these are just extreme cases. For the most part, they are playful, honest, and willing to give their kids a lot of room to be kids.
Sagittarius children: Sagittarius children come out of the womb with a lot of energy. Once they can walk, they’re ready to run! In other words: These live wires will keep you alert. Regular physical activity is a must if you want them to be happy. Get outside, go to the playground, and let them burn off some energy! They are curious about the world, so books about philosophy and social justice will interest them. If you can travel, you’ll inspire a lifelong love of exploration. Sagittarius kids demand complete honesty. If they sense you are misrepresenting the truth, they will report you. They are skilled debaters, so choose your battles wisely. Give them as much freedom as possible, but make sure they respect your rules too. Compromise is necessary if you want inner peace and tranquility.
Sagittarius Boss: Sagittarius bosses want to provide a positive work environment for their employees, so they will do whatever they can to make it happen. Be fair, honest and generous – If you work for Sagittarius, you’ll be treated fairly. They are natural leaders and know how to inspire people. Because they are passionate about their work, they expect you to be too. If you’re not a good team player, you won’t last long. Remember, they are independent, which means they expect you to work without supervision. If you need a lot of guidance, you may want to look for work elsewhere.
Sagittarius employees: Sagittarius is the trustworthy type, so they make excellent employees. They tend to be outgoing, which means you want to avoid putting them at the back of the queue. Instead, place them in front where they can participate in the action. Even better: Offer them a travel stipend and the ability to work remotely. They will love it! Because many archers hate being tied down, they choose freelancing. Working as an independent contractor means that once the contract ends, they are free to do other things.
Sagittarius friends: If fun, truth, and adventure appeal to you, you’ll love having a Sagittarius friend. They are always doing something. A last-minute road trip, a spontaneous dance party or a visit to the casino – you can count on your Sagittarius friend to drop everything and go! They will never lie to you. But if you’re asking whether these pants will make your butt look big, don’t expect a soft touch. Sometimes, they can be unstable. It sucks when they disappoint you for something else that seems more exciting, but soon enough, they’ll be back with lots of stories and binge tickets about their latest crazy adventure. It’s hard to be angry with them.
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the fun-loving Sagittarius man. Next up: Capricorn Suns.
