Sagittarius
The Archer
November 22 - December 21
The ninth sign of the zodiac is concerned with:
* philosophy, idealism, religion, spiritual growth
* optimism, positive outlook, forward planning
* travel, freedom of movement, the outdoors
* honesty, justice, morality
* imagination, aspirations, open-mindedness
* wit, intellect, flashes of intuition
* generosity, pleasure, romance
Elemental Quality
Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign of the zodiac. It can be likened to the stars, a
thousand lighted candles, the sparks rising from a rapidly spreading grass fire, or
the reflectors making the route along the center of a major road.
Fire changes substances and Sagittarians have a knack of transforming negative
situations with their optimism. Mutable means adaptable. Sagittarians can adapt
to almost any situation, whether earthly or spiritual.
Spiritual Goal
To learn to use their talents to guide others.

Secret Sagittarius
Inside anyone who has strong Sagittarian influences is a person who wants to be
free. Possessive partners, conservative thinkers, and bureaucrats with whom
Sagittarius comes into contact should be aware of this.
No matter who or what the cause, the Sagittarian who is held back in life, in love,
or in opportunity for spiritual growth will be unhappy, even though she will keep
smiling through all adversities.
Like the centaur, one of the Sagittarian symbols, the Sagittarian personality
exercises conflict between mind and body. The Sagittarian purpose is to
overcome this conflict so that they may guide others.
Ruling Planet and Its Effect
Jupiter rules the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, so anyone whose birth chart has a
strong Sagittarius influence will tend to be expansive, pleasure-loving,
benevolent, and have a strong sense of justice.
In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of beneficence. Psychologically, Jupiter is linked
with wisdom and is the guide of the psyche.

The Sagittarian Look
People who exhibit the physical characteristics distinctive of the sign of Sagittarius
look strong and active. They are often taller than average and have handsome
faces. Since a typical Sagittarius is an optimist, the face often appears about to
break into a smile -- and regularly does.
Physical Appearance
* Body: strongly built and energetic; movement is normally quick, although not
always graceful.
* Head: large, well-shaped skull with a high, broad forehead.
* Uses hands and arms to make broad, sweeping gestures.
* Bright, intelligent, and sparkling eyes which often twinkle with good humor.
* Either tall and athletic in appearance, or shorter with a sturdier body. Excess
weight can be a problem, as Sagittarius is ruled by expansive, jovial, life-loving
Jupiter.
The Sagittarius Male
If a man behaves in a way typical of the personality associated with the zodiac
sign of Sagittarius, he will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed
below, unless there are influences in his personal birthchart that are stronger
than that of his Sagittarius sun sign.
Appearance
The typical Sagittarius man:
* can be likened to a lively horse and often has a
mane of hair that falls over the forehead and has
to be tossed away. In later life, the Sagittarius
may become bald, yet still retain a youthful look.
* is physically noticeable because of his strong
sense of confidence
* will retain his physical faculties to a very old
age
Behavior and Personality Traits
* is a risk taker
* says exactly what is on his mind
* enjoys physical danger
* has an unerringly accurate wit
* has a good memory for facts, but often forgets
where he has left everyday objects such as keys
* is trusting until let down
* can tell really funny jokes, but often fluffs the
punch line -- which makes the joke even funnier
* may be tactless but is never deliberately cruel
* likes learning, study, and creative
interpretation
The Sagittarius Female
If a woman behaves in a way that is distinctive of the personality associated with
the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, she will have a tendency toward the characteristics
listed below, providing there are no influences in her personal birthchart that are
stronger than that of her Sagittarius sun sign.
Appearance
The typical Sagittarius woman:
* has an oval fave, a high forehead, and a
pointed chin
* has a tall and slender body
* has eyes that are steady, bright, open, and
honest
* has movement that is purposeful and even
graceful
Behavior and Personality Traits
* is honest
* enjoys freedom of thought and travel
* will laugh about her misfortunes and mistakes,
even while she is upset or in pain
* is angry if her integrity is questioned
* is kindhearted, though sometimes tactless
* can be deceived in romance, but is rarely
misled in other areas of life
* enjoys taking risks, both physical and
intellectual
* is often unconventional in relationships
* sticks by her own very clear moral standards
* can be cuttingly sarcastic when hurt
* regards herself and all others as equals
Young Sagittarius
If a child behaves in a way that is distinctive of the personality associated with
Sagittarius, he or she will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed below.
Behavior and Personality Traits
The typical Sagittarius child:
* is a happy, playful little clown
* greets everyone and is despondent if others
don't say "Hello"
* acts on impulse
* is active, interested in many things, and usually
adores animals
* tends to get more bumps, bruises, and cuts
than many children because he or she is so
adventurous and rarely sits still
* gives and expects total honesty
* enjoys company
* when left on his or her own will hug a teddy
bear or a blanket
* asks endless questions
* expects to be trusted
Bringing Up Young Sagittarius
Most young Sagittarians enjoy learning but dislike being held back by what they
see as needless rules.
They are capable of setting their own standards and should be encouraged to do
so. A frustrated Sagittarian child can turn from being a happy-go-lucky optimist
into an angry, sarcastic adult; therefore, it is important that the child be allowed
to take any opportunities for learning and socializing.
Sagittarian children question adult values and poke fun at adult hypocrisy. The
best thing that the parents of a Sagittarian child can do is to be totally honest.
Young Sagittarius's Needs
Love is essential to all children, but the way it is given varies. In the case of young
Sagittarius, there should be no pressure or possessiveness, but love should be
given by way of encouragement and by showing pleasure. Young Sagittarians hide
their hurts, disappointments, and sorrows behind a spirited belief that everything
must get better. The clown who laughs while his or her heart is breaking is
behaving in a very Sagittarian way.
What To Teach Young Sagittarius
These restless, freedom-loving children need to be taught that there are some
social rules that must be obeyed for their own good.
Handling money is another Sagittarian weakness, so a few practical lessons should
be given: for example, not supplementing an allowance that has been rashly
spent. Economy does not come naturally to generous, expansive Sagittarians.
Wise parents will teach their Sagittarian offspring the facts of life from an early
age, so that they are well prepared when their adventures become romantic.
Sagittarius At Home
If a person has the personality that is typical of those born with a Sagittarius sun
sign, home is a place to rest the mind and body before moving off on the next
trip. He or she will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed below.
Typical Behavior and Abilities
When at home, a Sagittarius man or
woman:
* could be almost anywhere,
Sagittarians make their home wherever
they happen to be; some have, or would
like, several homes, while others may be
permanent travelers. It is not unusual
for Sagittarians to spend time living
abroad, or to divide their time between
two different countries
* is usually planning for the next journey
* is not naturally domesticated
* enjoys making and receiving social
visits
* does not enjoy formality, but loves
informal gatherings where he/she is free
to roam
Sagittarius as a Parent
* has very clear moral standards
* has faith in the children
* may expect too much intellectually
* will provide a very stimulating home
* will be eager to play with children, talk
with them, and take them on travels
* enjoys the children and is great fun as
a parent
* will always answer questions honestly
* will encourage the children to leave
home when grown up
Two Sagittarians in the Same Family
Sagittarians are not usually very good at family relationships because they are
natural wanderers and resume contact sporadically. Hence, two typical
Sagittarians in the same family should get along perfectly well; each will
understand the other's need for freedom of thought and action. Two Sagittarian
children are apt to get into more physical scrapes, since they are both risk takers.
Sagittarius At Work
At work, the person who has a typical Sagittarian personality will exhibit the
following characteristics.
Typical Behavior and Abilities
A typical Sagittarius at work:
* needs a challenge, so even in the
dullest, most routine job, he or she will
seek challenges
* is versatile
* needs to do several things at once
* may have two jobs
* needs intellectual and physical
exercise
* gets tired only when bored
Sagittarius as Employer
A typical Sagittarius boss (male or
female):
* is rarely naturally tactful and may be
quite blunt
* has a sense of overall planning,
although they may overlook details
* expects people to be straightforward
* can be erratic and hard to tie down
* can promote anything extremely well
* can boost morale and will fight for
what he/she believes is right
* is generally cheerful
* is kind and understanding
Sagittarius as Employee
A typical Sagittarius employee (male or
female):
* works best when allowed to get on
with the job at their own speed -- which
is usually fast
* is cheerful and does not complain
* is enthusiastic, willing, and generally
ahead of everyone else
* enjoys praise and will promise almost
anything
* is interested in current pay but not in
long-term career plans
* will boost everyone's spirits when they
are depressed
Working Environment
The workplace of a typical Sagittarius
man or woman:
* is wherever they are -- they take their
tools with them
* will be open and airy
* may be decorated imaginatively
Typical Occupations
Anything in sales or promotion that involves travel and knowledge of foreign
languages; anything that allows Sagittarius to perform; and any career that
involves learning and the use of the intellect such as teacher, lawyer, or writer. A
Sagittarius will be attracted to work that combines intellect and physical activity,
such as veterinary practice, or indeed any kind of work with animals.
Sagittarius and Love
To Sagittarius, love is a romantic adventure. Sagittarius in love will have many of
the characteristics listed below.
Behavior When In Love
The typical Sagittarius:
* enjoys love on the move in
foreign places
* is inventive
* needs good intellectual
compatibility
* is totally honest with the
loved one
* enjoys the physical pleasures
of love
* is happy when he or she is
loved
* is very generous and goodnatured
Expectations
The typical Sagittarius expects:
* not to be tied down
* to feel secure in love
* the loved one to be honest
* to retain freedom of
movement
* never to be falsely accused of
philandering
* to stimulate, amuse, and be
enjoyed by the loved one
The End of An Affair
If a partner is possessive or jealous of Sagittarius, the relationship will begin to
crack. Eventually, these pressures will cause Sagittarius to simply pack up and
move on.
Sagittarians enjoy meeting people and may indulge in the occasional affair. On the
whole, the attraction of the affair will be its excitement, rather than true
romance. Sagittarius is prone to look elsewhere if an existing relationship
becomes routine.
Sagittarius and Sex
A typical Sagittarius regards sex as another adventure to be enjoyed and
explored. Sagittarians tend to take a chance on love, and they enter a relationship
with the same recklessness that they display in their activities. In the relationship,
he or she will be warm and loving and a wonderful companion.
Sagittarians normally enjoy a lot of touching and cuddling -- a good, warm, loving
hug is their form of a security blanket. Common intellectual interests are equally
essential to the success of any long-term sexual relationship.
Sagittarius and Partner
The person who contemplates becoming the marriage or business partner of a
typical Sagittarius must realize that Sagittarius will value his or her freedom above
everything. Given this, the person who partners Sagittarius can expect honesty
and plenty of creative ideas.
Sagittarius Man As A Partner
He will want a partner who enjoys spontaneity and who will appreciate his grand
gestures and courageous outbursts or enthusiasm. He will also want a partner
who will not try to control him.
In business, a person who has a sound understanding of financial matters would
make the perfect partner.
Sagittarius Woman As A Partner
Frank and friendly, she wants a partner who can love her for her outspoken
charm, not wilt under it. Her words and actions will always show what she is
thinking and feeling, so a potential partner should be quite clear about their
feelings. Sagittarian women are neither coy nor evasive, and will want a partner
who does not play silly games. In marriage or in business, a partner must always
ask her to do something, never tell her. However, she will respond to hints.
Opposite Sign
Gemini is the complementary opposite sign to Sagittarius. Although the
relationship between the two may have some difficulties, Sagittarius can learn
from Gemini how to notice and take account of details. In this way,
Sagittarius can become inspiring guides, lighting the way for others, rather than
leading them by preaching what the route should be.
Sagittarius and Friends
In general, Sagittarius likes a friend who is open-minded, ready for an adventure,
and trusting.
Positive Factors
Sagittarians are friendly, gregarious people who accepts any friend who matches
up to their personal standards. They will defend a friend with great loyalty, but
they will also say exactly what they think.
Sagittarians have friends from many walks of life. Among those are likely to be
both men and women, straight and gay people, a range of ages, and a mixture of
ethnic groups; they will all be treated as equals.
Sagittarians respond to all calls of help. They will lend a friend money without
expecting to be repaid; they take in stray animals and stray people and will
support any cause in the name of friendship.
Negative Factors
Close friendship with just one or two people is not the Sagittarian norm. In fact,
anyone who tries to get too familiar with or who takes advantage of the
Sagittarian natural friendliness, may be struck by the fiery rocket of Sagittarian
temper. They generally fight with words, as sharp as darts, but some may also use
their fists.
Sagittarians can be eccentric and may find it difficult to keep a secret.
A compatibility chart, below, lists those with whom Sagittarius is likely to have the
most satisfactory relationships.
Compatibility
In general, if people are typical of their zodiac sign, relationships between
Sagittarius and other signs (including the complementary opposite sign, Gemini)
are as shown below.

Sagittarian Leisure Interests
Sagittarians are versatile and like to kick against authority, so their leisure
interests may be both varied and radical. Sports are natural activities for
Sagittarians, who enjoy them for the social contact as much as for the
competition.
A Sagittarian who has not traveled is unusual. Long-distance travel to foreign
places is one of the main Sagittarian interests. Some may prefer to "travel" in the
world of literature or religion, but their travels will also be far and wide.
On the whole, typical Sagittarians pursue the following leisure interests:
* gambling, gaming, racing cars, skydiving, and other risk-taking sports
* travel, exploration, cracking codes, tracking down mysteries, solving problems,
speaking foreign languages, breeding animals, keeping pets
* religions, belief systems, new ways of being
Sagittarian Likes and Dislikes
Likes
* freedom of action
* alternative ideas
* being on the move
* food and drink
* perfumes and beauty
aids
* raffles and lotteries
* parties, flirting
Dislikes
* disapproval from
others
* making promises
* being too safe,
secure, or confined
* administration
* tight clothes
* having their honesty
doubted
Sagittarian Health
Typical Sagittarians are healthy, energetic, and able to keep going in adversity.
They hate to be confined to bed, unless it is to dream a little; any kind of routine
will tax the Sagittarian optimism. However, their positive outlook helps them to
overcome illnesses quickly and keeps them going if serious illness strikes.
Types of Sickness
Diseases often linked with a Sagittarian influence in the chart are the whole range
of arthritic and rheumatic problems, diseases that attack the hips and legs, and
problems arising from the Sagittarian tendency to fall over, trip over, or collide
with things.
Asthma is linked with Sagittarius, as are sicknesses caught from animals -Sagittarians are very fond of animals and like to be closely involved with them.
Sagittarians tend to take physical risks, so accidents arising from dangerous sports
can be expected from time to time. The jovial Jupiter influence is said to lead
many a Sagittarian into indulgence in food or drink, and this may lead to health
problems.
Sagittarius at Rest
A typical Sagittarian never rests. A Sagittarius who lounges around looking bored
is one who feels restricted and needs to break free again. The way that typical
Sagittarians rest is by sleeping, thinking, and dreaming -- and then moving off
somewhere new.

Leo! About Your Sign...
The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all
the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and
magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is
king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed,
positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their
vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or
in revolt against, the status quo. They are at their most effective when in a
position of command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of mind
bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are uncomplicated,
knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies, creativeness and
resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are
after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians. Leonians think and act
bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and
idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and
ability to go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on
them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity.
On the whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane,
and beneficent. They have powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical,
sometimes religious, turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very
obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with
complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as
absurdly out-of-date. These will be found as the 'lions' of industries, and in the
forefront of the cutting edge of technologies.
Their faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative
Leonian can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying
extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of
temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies
and trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness,
and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant
disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out of
minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above
borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be
characteristic of Leo.
Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a
character emerges that no one would want to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go
before a fall, as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low. Fortunately it is rare that a Leo is so
undisciplined as to give way thoroughly to this list of vices, and their tendencies to them are usually
balanced by an innate wisdom. Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it takes to
consciously and actively overcome them.
In professional life they do well at any vocation at which there is room at the top. As politicians they are
content with nothing less than a powerful position in government. In business they may be the chairman
of their company's board, or at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers and overseers,
often laying the groundwork for new projects. If from the artisan ranks of society they will aspire to
become the boss, partly because they are ambitious by nature, partly because they dislike manual labor,
preferring to take charge of others doing it. If artistic, Leos can become stars of stage or screen (their
bent is serious rather than light drama), maestros as musicians where they will gravitate toward the grand
instruments or activities, such as the organ or conducting of orchestras and as painters; anything grand in
conception and scale appeals to them. Leo women make exceptionally good welfare workers.
In his or her relations with others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine and trusting. Outgoing,
spontaneously warm hearted and plain spoken, though never lacking in kindliness, Leos are more
disillusioned than the average if let down by those they trust. They are not good judges of character and
are inclined to favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in
disappointment. They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they find it
hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to become dissolute. They may have numerous
love affairs for their love of pleasure and beauty is liable to drive them from one attractive partner to
another. They are very much inclined to deceive. Their marriages may fail for the same reason, yet they
are sincere and generous to their lovers while love lasts, and will remain attached to their homes so long
as it is run for their benefit. They demand service but are incapable of giving it.
Possible Health Concerns...
Physiologically, Leo governs the upper back, forearms, wrist, spine and heart. Its natives are subject to a
number of ailments: pain in the back and lungs, spinal complaints, diseases of the heart and blood,
sickness in ribs and sides, convulsions, pleasantries, violent burning fevers including, in former days, when
they were prevalent, plague, pestilence, jaundice, and some afflictions of the eyes.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our
personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based on the sun sign
characteristics. As a Leo you may see things below that really strike home. Try the solution, you most
likely will be amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is
because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem: Getting all upset and angry with others when things do not go the way you fully expected them
too. This kind of reaction to a problem is what causes a lot of marital discord and unhappiness.
Solution: You should never base all of your expectations on what you should get, but rather base them
on what you can give to, or do, for those who are in your sphere of influence. You will find you have a
more peaceful and happy home if you do this.
Problem: You are sometimes your own worst enemy, especially so when you are striving for attention in
such obvious ways that you turn off the very people you sought to impress.
Solution: The first place to start is to stop trying to gain attention; give people the chance to notice the
real you. Decide what it is that impresses you and you will then know what to do to impress others.
Problem: Egotism, to the extent that you may be the Leo who thinks no one is quite as good at things as
you are and the people around you are made to feel small through your habit of comparison.
Solution: What the higher minded Leo has is a sense of self worth and of greatness, this is corrupted
when you let the ego get out of hand so you should learn to walk tall by looking up to those that are
'taller' than you are.
Problem: Losses in income from unwisely speculating which leads to financial ruin, as well as possible
personal losses of family and friends due to a lack of concern for their financial welfare.
Solution: You should always investigate all investments well before they are made, then talk it over with
your spouse as to how hard the budget can be hit, before you spend the first dime.
Your ruling planet is the SUN
.
The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. It is about 150 million km away (93 million miles), a
distance which sunlight covers in 8 minutes, whereas the distance to the moon is only 1.3 light-seconds. The Sun is about
300,000 times heavier than Earth and rotates around its axis (as viewed from the orbiting Earth) in about 27 days.
Some more interesting facts about your sign:
The male lions are not particularly good hunters, the main work is done by the females when the male
drives the prey in the direction where they are hiding, although the males insist on eating their share
before the females. Hunting occurs at night or cooler times of day, the hotter hours are spent resting in
the shade. Only males grow a mane, which can take up to 5 years to fully develop.
The color of choice for Leo is
GOLD
Your starstone is the rich red RUBY
Known as a stone of nobility. It can improve success in controversies and disputes, encouraging

RE: STARSTONE CONTROVERSY
There is, and always have been, a controversy over "starstones". Starstones are NOT birthstones. I give you here in
these pages the stones that are called your starstones, (planet stones), which viberates the strongest to your planet or
sign, NOT to the month that you were born. I would also like it if those who think they know precisely what their stone is
to go to the library and reference some good Astrology books such as 'Parkers Astrology'. Sorry for the confusion, but
confusion over this topic has raged for hundreds of years

Sagittarius About Your Sign...
Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility,
adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They
enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new
dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even
when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many
disappointments without being affected. They are honorable, honest, trustworthy, truthful,
generous and sincere, with a passion for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog
in society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and are prepared to be
rebellious. They balance loyalty with independence.
Sagittarians are usually modest and are often religious, with a strong sense of morality, though
they tend to overemphasize the ethical codes they follow and worship beliefs about God
rather than God Himself. This means that, negatively, they regard rigid, unloving, intolerant
adherence to ritual and conventional codes as more important than the truths they symbolize
or embody. They sometimes pay lip service to religions and political parties in which they have
ceased to believe because the outward forms satisfy them, yet they may not hesitate to switch
allegiance in politics or change their system of belief if they see personal advantage to
themselves in doing so.
They have both profound and widely ranging minds, equipped with foresight and good
judgement, and they can be witty conversationalists. They love to initiate new projects (they
make excellent researchers) and have an urge to understand conceptions that are new to
them. they think rapidly, are intuitive and often original, but are better at adapting than
inventing and are at their best when working with colleagues of other types of character that
compliment their own. They are strong-willed and good at organizing, a combination that gives
them the ability to bring any project they undertake to a successful conclusion. Their
generosity can be balanced by their extreme care at handling their resources.
Sagittarians are ardent, sincere and straightforward in love, normally conventional and in
control of their sexual natures. Yet if thwarted, they may easily allow their failure to embitter
their whole lives or they may revenge themselves upon the opposite sex by becoming cynically
promiscuous. They are more apt then the average to make an uncongenial alliance.
If their marriages are successful, they will be faithful spouses and indulgent parents; but their
innate restlessness will inspire them to use even the most satisfying ménage as a base from
which to set out on their travels. They need to fell free and are often faced with the choice of
allowing their careers to take over their lives at the expense of the love of their spouse and
family. Sagittarian women are the counterparts of their men; even if they have no career to
rival their love, they find it difficult to express affection and may run the risk of being thought
frigid.
In other personal relationships they are reliable, seldom betraying any trust given to them.
They can, however, be impulsively angry and both male and female Sagittarians know how to
be outspoken and exactly what expressions will hurt their adversaries most. On the other hand
they are magnanimous in forgiving offenses and are responsible when looking after the elderly
in the family.
Their gifts fit Sagittarians for a number of widely differing professions. They are natural
teachers and philosophers with a talent for expounding the moral principles and laws which
seem to explain the universe. This gift enables them to be successful churchmen on the one
hand and scientists on the other. The law and politics also suit them, as does public service,
social administration, public relations and advertising. Travel and exploration naturally appeal
to such restless souls and, if their opportunities are limited, they may find something of travel
and change of scene in the armed forces or through working as a travelling salesman. Others
may make fine musicians and, in the days before automobiles, they were said to be successful
at horse trading and all activities, including sporting ones, concerning horses. This has been
translated in modern terms into an interest in cars and aircraft - and again with emphasis on
the sporting side racing, rallying etc. They are said to make good sports coaches, but their
tastes in this direction may lead them into imprudent gambling, though the gambling instinct
may be sublimated by carrying it out professionally as a bookmaker.
The vices to which Sagittarians are prone are anger they tend to flare up over trifles;
impatience - they want to rush every new project through immediately and demand too much
of colleagues who cannot work at the pace they require; and scorn of the inadequacies of
others while expecting fulsome recognition of their own efforts. They may in one sense
deserve recognition, because in completing a major project they will sacrifice their health and
family relationships; in their family's eyes they may merit condemnation.
They can be exacting, domineering and inconsiderate in the work place; and boastful, vulgar
and extravagant in their private lives. Their restlessness, if excessive, can jeopardize more than
their own stability. some Sagittarians risk becoming playboys, wasting their lives away in
frivolous pursuits. Others can develop a moralizing, religious fanaticism or else turn into
hypocrites, their inner prudishness disguised by an outward appearance of joviality. Another
side of the religiosity which is a danger in Sagittarians is superstition.
Possible Health Concerns...
Sagittarius governs the hips, thighs and sacral area; subjects suffer from ailments of the hips
and thighs and are liable to sciatica and rheumatism. An alleged deficiency of silicon in their
physiques can give them poor skin, nails and hair.
As they are often sportsmen indulging in dangerous pursuits, they are prone to accidents
which arise from these. The ancient astrologers mention falls from horses and hurts from them
and other four-footed beasts. The taking of risks in other sports is a danger to the modern
Sagittarian, and he is also liable to accidents with fire and heat.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When these traits are
suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology we can examine the
problem and assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics. As a Sagittarius
you may see things below that really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is
because you are failing to express the positive.
PROBLEM: Others have no time for you as you are apt to have too many irons in the fire at
any given time.
SOLUTION: Be sure that you have a 'product' to match all the 'advertising' you do. Is it fact or
is it fiction?
PROBLEM: Others cease to confide in you or to take you seriously.
SOLUTION: Try not to exaggerate or be contentious with others as this could be embarrassing
if they feel you are not trustworthy.
PROBLEM: Feeling lost and disillusioned.
SOLUTION: Focus upon one thing that will satisfy you and work toward that point.
PROBLEM: You seem anchored in one spot, unable to move forward.
SOLUTION: You should try to think more positive thoughts and set some short term goals that
you can reach, then set more. In this way you will move ahead in your endeavors.
Your ruling planet is JUPITER

Some more interesting facts about your sign:
The animal associated with you sign is the centaur.
The Greek love for the horse led to the ennoblement of the centaur in myth and legend. The
Centaur Chiron was known for his wisdom and healing abilities. Nessus was killed by Hercules
for trying to rape a woman under his charge, and other centaurs were renowned for their
weakness for drink. The centaur symbolizes mankinds dual nature as an intellectual creature
(the human half) which was also a physical animal (the horse half).
The color of choice for Sagittarius is RICH PURPLE
Your Starstone is the TOPAZ
Topaz, the gem comes in many different colors and is a member of the quartz group. It aids in
bringing forth your leadership qualities and enables you to grasp control of any situation you
confront in life. Topaz makes you feel more in control of yourself or the situations you
encounter and helps you deal with them in a competent fashion. It helps you take the lead and
handle things in a competent fashion. Tradition has it that Topaz helped foretell the future,
enhance sexual energy, and promote harmony.

RE: STARSTONE CONTROVERSY
There is, and always have been, a controversy over "starstones". Starstones are NOT
birthstones. I give you here in these pages the stones that are called your starstones, (planet
stones), which viberates the strongest to your planet or sign, NOT to the month that you were
born. I would also like it if those who think they know precisely what their stone is to go to
the library and reference some good Astrology books such as 'Parkers Astrology'. Sorry for
the confusion, but confusion over this topic has raged for hundreds of years.
