Fire, especially in Sagittarius, loves adventure - but conversely has more than a wee bit of difficulty when dealing with everyday mundane life and routine. Sagittarius presses on to the future in pursuit of high ideals! In the weighty words of astrologer Stephen Arroyo: "Witness, for example the symbol of Sagittarius: the Centaur. This unique creature is still grounded on the earth with an animal body, but that does not stop him from using his human half to carefully aim his arrow at a specific goal on the distant horizon." With the Sun in Sagittarius, creativity is especially linked with aspirations and ideals. Sagittarian energy is buoyant storytelling energy. Ruled by the jubilant planet, Jupiter (Roman god of thunderbolts and lightning, and ruler of all the other gods) Sagittarian energy enjoys preaching a good sermon from a pulpit (ordained or not).

Among natives fulfilling the energy of their Sun’s placement in Sagittarius: some of the key concepts are: broad-minded, optimistic, philosophical, need for change and variety, friendly, open spirited and exploratory.
