Because its period indicates a change of season, it is known as a "mutable sign" describing an instinct toward change and an easy ability to modify or adapt to the demands of the environment.
Not really... sort of? I get the hang of new things pretty quickly... after I mess up a couple times for good measure. :/
The sign is governed by Jupiter, a planet which is symbolically associated with temperate qualities which loosen, relax and expand. Sagittarius is also linked with the "element of fire," which represents outgoing, action-oriented energy that seeks spontaneous expression.
Yeah, I'm random as hell, when I want to say something I say it, whether it makes sense or not.... usually not. Plus my sense of humor is rather... odd.
As the mutable fire sign, governed by an expansive planet, the symbolic focus of the sign is connected to the principle of exploration and evolution.
Correspondingly, Sagittarians are reputed to be drawn toward travel and philosophy, and to enjoy social contacts, meeting new people and exploring other cultures.
I actually agree, sort of matches me to a 'T'. I so just want to travel the world and meet and learn about people. Philosphy, history, anthropology, everything like that is really cool to me.
They are said to be highly intelligent, broad-visioned, tolerant in their views, mainly concerned with the "big picture" but with little patience for the details.
I kind of agree with the "big picture" thing. And the tolerant bit. I'm super moderate politically... and stuff.
Like all the fire signs, Sagittarius can be idealistic in vision but tactless in expression. They are known for their bluntness and are often unaware of their ability to cause anguish in others.
Fuck yes. Anyone who knows me irl can vouch for this, hence why I went through everything I have this past year. (Grrr)
Plus I curse like a sailor. Worse than a sailor.
