The Archetype of Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Sagittarius's glyph is the archer. Implying precise aim in the vision that accompanies this fire sign. Sagittarius is mutable fire, and fire signs are known for creating vision, and with mutability, preferably there is an exchange with the vision. Mutability requires some sort of back and forth - some sort of exchange. This exchange can take many forms, whether it's with inspired creative pursuits, shared vision with another, or with an audience. Sagittarius’s bold and fiery presence does well being seen, and thrives on the interaction. 

Ruled by Jupiter, an expansive planet whose energy is highly enthusiastic. The Jupiterian representation in Sagittarius takes on a sort of drive to quest - be it through adventure, travel, philosophy, intellectual pursuit, or an optimistic thirst for new experience.  Sagittarius wants “TO KNOW” and ultimately quests for the truth. 

Sagittarius is reminiscent of a gypsy philosopher, seeking knowledge, and meaning. Eventually Sagittarius realizes that somewhere along the path in the search for knowledge, they may encounter a longing for certainty. And this is where the greatest realization comes: knowledge, the sort found in facts and theories, is useful indeed. However, gnosis: the truth of information through experience is invaluable. Good news for Sagittarius who is highly adept at experiences.
