Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac and represents wisdom, philosophy, growth, expansion, freedom, optimism, travel and spirituality. The dates for Sagittarius season begin around November 22nd and last until December 21st.
Sagittarius is represented by the centaur which is connected to the myth of Chiron who is known as the “wounded healer”. In the myth, Chiron was accidentally shot by Hercules with a poisoned arrow and although Chiron was a healer, he could not heal himself. In astrology Chiron is an asteroid which represents the soul’s wound in the birth chart or the wound your soul is working to heal in this life.
Sagittarius is a mutable, fire sign which means that it loves change, flexibility, learning new things and remaining open to opportunities. This sign is ruled by Jupiter which is connected to things like growth, beliefs, luck, abundance and spirituality. Therefore, Sagittarius is connected to things like expanding consciousness, higher learning and the pursuit of knowledge.
Sagittarius Sun
The Sun in Sagittarius can make you someone who’s very open-minded and values freedom, philosophy and independence. Sagittarius is a sign that loves to explore, grow, travel and learn. The opposite sign of Sagittarius is Gemini which is connected to things like communication, curiosity, socializing and information.
Sagittarius is more connected to the big picture whereas Gemini is more connected to the details and gathering information. Because of this, Sagittarius can be seen as the more philosophical sign and Gemini can be seen as the more inquisitive sign.
In the tarot, Sagittarius is connected to the Temperance card which represents things like balance, alchemy, patience and the middle path. Temperance represents moderation, a tempered approach and using your inner wisdom to find your way through life.
Sagittarius is a very spiritual sign that has strong belief systems and opinions which can make it come across as being self-righteous at times. This sign is very high vibrational due to its expanded consciousness and this makes it a sign that’s very wise and enlightened. Sagittarius is a sign that values knowledge, wisdom, expansion and open-mindedness.
Your Sun sign is just one aspect of you and so it’s important to consider your whole birth chart when trying to understand all sides of your personality.
