A world of theoretical possibilities opens wide for this ever-expanding sign, who’s in hot pursuit of knowing what the Universe is really all about. Is there one overarching Tiuth that determines the "real" nature of all else that exists? Is this what God is all about, or even what physicists have named "unified theory," which speculates on the possible-and as yet unproven-existence of asingle, determining law that can explain all fundamental energy interactions in existence? Leave it to Sagittarius to ponder the workings of life on even this cosmic a scale. The big picture can get mighty BIG for this sign! One problem here, in defining Truth, is that fire signs are not all that objective about anything they feel strongly about. Sagittarius especially wants to plainly see that which it already believes to be true, in its heart. It claims to seek the ultimate reality underlying anything, but it has a gullible, credulous nature that keeps it from recognizing life’s less glorious side. The Archer is not realistic or detached enough to handle life’s more depressing truths. Whatever it wholeheartedly believes in is something that it deems to be absolutely true and right for all, not just for itself.
That’s when it is more than willing to get on its soapbox and proclaim stuff like,"Everyone will need to become a vegetarian before they can find true inner peace!" It’s typical for Sagittarius to make such flat-out statements that sound a bit on the dogmatic side. There is a "know-it-all" quality to this sign that suggests it doesn t easily recognize all sides of any issue, just the one it preaches-it feels it’s correct about its beliefs, and everyone else is a poor, unenlightened soul needing to be shown a higher path in life.The Archer puts much stock in universal principles that guide humanity’s development.It has faith in all unseen influences that benev-olently help shape the course of human destiny and even the fate of nations. Sweeping assumptions about how things "really are," in terms of universal energies, are fortified by the Archer’s certainty that its visions reflect clarity and purity, leaving little room for distortion. (Sagittarius was undoubtedly the first sign to utter these words, "God has spoken to me, and He said . . .") It’s nearly impossible to convince Sagittarius, once inspiration has taken over its entire being, that it could be all wrong about its cherished beliefs. Jolly SaintNick? Sagittarius represents a part of human nature that is willing, in most cases, to give more than it gets back from others.
Not even normally gracious, agreeable Libra is willing to do that (and when it does, it often backfires for the Balancer). Yet it seems as if the Archer has an inborn sense of abundance and a surplus of goodwill that allows it to be generous in spirit. It never feels like it’s a loser-at least not when it still can freely give of itself to a world in need. Sagittarian emphasis in our chart shows where we can be like Santa Claus, ready to hand out bag loads of gifts for the happiness of all. These are typically gifts of the mind and spirit that we offer. The Archer,like Leo, has a big heart, but is driven to give for less-egocentric reasons, and isn’t as prone to dictate how others are to use its gifts, except as joyously and unselfishly aspossible.Sagittarius is a firm believer in the importance of doing good works. It knows the big world has big needs that only those blessed with ongoing hope and optimism can fuIfiU, but certainly not cynics and misers. Sagittarius gets as far as it does in life because it really likes people. This is probably the zodiac’s most gregarious sign, one that doesn’t seem to mind at all who it gets to rub shoulders with-the more the merrier-as long as the energy level remains high and everyone’s feeling full of pep and enthusiasm.
Plus Sagittarius can be quite boisterous. Still, even if sometimes too loud and going overboard with glee, the cheery Archer is only trying to bring a smile to others and get us all to laugh ("Ho, ho, ho"), and maybe even teach the world to be thankfirl for its blessings.Nature Trail Sagittarius actively enjoys the great outdoors, perhaps more so than any other sign. Of course, Taurus loves Nature’s quiet, maternal side, especially from the security of the Bull’s own backyard. Taurus not only likes to patiently grow plants from seed, it also desires to stay protectively close to its well-tended garden patch, where it can watch the vegetative process slowly unfold. As Taurus relaxes in its familiar natural settings, it is soothed by the animal sounds that abound, bythe fragrant scents in the ait and by the comforting warmth of the sun’s rays-things that are all pleasing to the senses. For the Bull, the living is easy when Nature is at its most green and fertile stage. However, the kind of nature experience that the Archer gets excited about goes way beyond the birds and the bees.Climbing Mount Everest is more a robust Sagittarian interest than potting pink petunias. For the Archer, the natural world is something to be adventurously explored rather than just appreciated for its beautywhile we rest in a hammock on alazy, summer day.
