From November 22, it’s Sagittarius season – so what better time to celebrate this particular sign?

Sagittarians are born between November 22 and December 21 and belong to the Fire element of the zodiac (along with Leo and Aries). Fire signs are larger than life characters with big egos and big hearts. Loveable but infuriating.

Sagittarius is a mutable sign, along with Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces.

This means they’re born at the end of a season and this placement gives them an ability to adapt, adjust, let go of the old easily, and move on.

Change is a constant in life, and Sagittarians get that.

Sagittarius personality traits

Sagittarians are optimistic, restless, progressive, and adventurous. Freedom is everything. Don’t bother trying to stop them doing whatever the heck they want. Woe betide a boss/partner/parent/friend who tries to tell their Saggie comrade what to do… expect to hear the door slam as they bolt for the hills.

They are ruled by Jupiter – which makes them super lucky and revelling in abundance and good fortune (sigh, alright for some, eh). Sagittarians are great companions for wild weekends – especially in Vegas, where some of their infamous luck may rub off on you.

Their symbol is the archer, which suits their outdoorsy, restless nature. They adore ‘hunting’ (love interests and bargains vs actual animals, as they are crazy about all creatures great and small), they enjoy the thrill of the chase.

Famous Sagittarians include Brad Pitt, Tina Turner, Scarlett Johansson, Jamie Foxx, Chrissy Teigen, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Tyra Banks.

What do Sagittarians enjoy doing?

Competition. Like all Fire signs, Sagittarians take competition very seriously, and enjoy cutting their teeth against others, seeing what the pecking order is, and busting a gut to come out on top. Team building and team games also appeal because the archer is super social.

Flirting. You know what I’ve been saying about freedom and adventure? Well it kinda’ applies to their love live too (sorry). PSA: flirting is like breathing to Sagittarians, everyone is a potential target, this is the area of life they most enjoy ‘hunting’. More often than not, it’s harmless fun… well mostly.

Philosophy. They are deep thinkers, despite their outward joke-ster persona, and like to ponder on big matters, global issues, societal questions, and the Big Picture. They enjoy writing too, and always have an opinion, or several, to share.

Pets. Horses and dogs tend to top the list, but ALL creatures bright and beautiful/great and small are adored by animal-loving Sagittarius. They feel a kinship with the animal world, they respect and admire the way that animals rely on their instincts and live only in the moment.

Travelling. New landscapes stimulate them, they are the zodiac’s great adventurer. All Sagittarians love travelling, holidaying, journeying, exploring, and questing.

Which star signs get on best with Sagittarius?

On face value? Everyone. Sagittarius is one of the most open, friendly, enthusiastic and energetic signs.

The Fire sign trio are a close-knit bunch, forging friendships and FIRE relationships amongst themselves. They share a need for adventure, passion and competition which other signs often find daunting, irritating, or too intense. So, Sagittarius, Leo and Aries are all good matches with each other.

The hot tip for hot sex for Sagittarius is Gemini, these two are opposite signs and, together, form a partners-in-crime alliance (sometimes literally…) as both dare the other into more and more boundary-pushing escapades. It’s all thrill-seeking and fun with Gemmy and Saggie – and the bedroom can get pretty wild.
