Traits

Sagittarius is appetite for experience. Optimistic, philosophical, restless, blunt — also tactless, commitment-shy, prone to skipping the boring middle of things. The Sag gift is finding meaning everywhere; the Sag failure mode is treating other people's small lives as opportunities to lecture.

Compatibility

Easy with Aries and Leo (Fire trio — shared optimism). Strong with Libra and Aquarius (Air makes Fire bigger). Hardest with Virgo and Pisces (different relationship to detail). Gemini is the opposite — both signs need debate, both signs need space.

Mythology

The centaur Chiron — wise teacher, wounded healer. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and meaning-making. The sign of the journey.

In love

Sagittarius falls for stories, places, big plans. Wants a partner who'll go on the road trip, learn the language, change the apartment. Easily restless if the relationship turns into a routine.

In work

Travel, publishing, teaching, anything cross-cultural. Built for the explorer role, bad at the maintainer role. Founders of things, leavers of things.
