A Sagittarian is generally considered to be a very enthusiastic and excited individual who tends to take risks simply because of all the energy inside them. They're both restless and visionary, and love to explore new horizons. Sagittarians have a bold and optimistic attitude, and treat life as a journey full of adventure. Their enthusiasm helps them greet whatever they may encounter with an open heart and ready smile. They have an expansive nature that needs to reach out and discover new challenges. This can be on a mental level, or on a physical level. Sagittarians are honest and frank, and have a reputation for giving an opinion even if it's not required. Occasionally they're known to put their foot in their mouth with an untimely, tactless remark. Essentially well-meaning, Sagittarians generally get away with social blunders, and others rarely hold a grudge. They make their decisions based on impulse and intuition tempered by the wisdom of their own personal philosophy. Sagittarians are inclined to take risks, and love jumping into the unknown ~ and then landing on flat on their faces. Most Sagittarians are idealistic, with a keen interest and the culture and beliefs of other countries. They ask probing questions about morality and social issues, sometimes developing passionate convictions. Sagittarians like movement, and when things begin to slow down, they quickly become bored and look for a way to escape. Sagittarians need to be free.

As workers, Sagittarians are restless, and need work that allows them to cover new ground. They have a positive attitude towards any job, and greet opportunities with zeal. Sagittarians may wander for years before settling into a job that they're content with. Sagittarians enjoy the tourist industry, which provides them with many satisfying positions, as they are both good with people and have a flair for languages. Their passion for learning makes them conscientious teachers, they relate well to students of all ages. Their sense of morality can produce fine judges and lawyers. They work best with Ariens, Taureans, Geminians, Cancers, Leos, Librans, other Sagittarians, Capricorns, Aquarians and Pisceans. They don't work well with Virgoans and Scorpios, finding them overly critical and too secretive, respectively.

Sagittarians feel a need to have a mix of friends from all different walks of life. They're eager to meet new people, and their personable manner makes them easy to get to know. Open and honest, they enjoy having fun and sharing laughter with those who respect their need for freedom. Sagittarians are restless, and have plenty of energy for an active social life. They're good at taking initiative and arranging events. If physically inclined, sports will be a regular fixture in their schedule. When it comes to loyalty, Sagittarians are free spirits who avoid getting stuck in small cliques. They strongly dislike people with closed minds, and their friendship is open to all. Their generosity of spirit means that current friends always receive support and encouragement, but Sagittarians' changing lifestyles mean that only a few of these involvements may mature. They're unsentimental, finding intense emotional bonds too demanding. If they are to be good friends with a person, that person must acknowledge their independence and enjoy their time together without projecting too far into the future. Sagittarians make best friends with Ariens, Geminians, Cancers, Leos, Virgoans, Librans, Scorpios, other Sagittarians, Capricorns, Aquarians, and Pisceans. They don't get along well with Taureans, finding them too dull.

In terms of food and such, generally the foods that agree with a Sagittarius are grapefruit, celery, onions, currants and leeks (ew...). There animals are horses and hunted animals, and their flowers are carnations and dandelions. The sensitive area of the Sagittarius are the hips, thighs and liver, all of which are extremely susceptible to disease.
