Sagittarius is symbolized by the Archer. It is a Mutable Fire sign. The positive characteristics of a Sagittarian are Philosophical, Broadminded, Optimistic, Straightforward, Freedom-loving, Adventurous, Religious, Scholarly, Enthusiastic, Social and Charming. Their negative characteristics are Self-indulgent, Blunt, Impatient, Argumentative, Exaggerative, Talkative, Procrastinating, Pushy, Gamblers and Hot-headed.
The ninth sign of the zodiac represents a mixture of independence and over-confidence- with one leading eventually to the other. They seek truths in their lives in order to do so they also have to travel a lot.
This introduces them to a lot of people, especially strangers, thereby breeding the quality of talkativeness in them. However, this talkativeness is ensued by a raw tactlessness which ultimately diminishes the effect of the former.
Sagittarians in fact are intelligent people. Never try to confuse them with topics of their interest as they have a full file of facts embedded in their minds which once opened can wonder the people around.
This is why, most Sagittarians are the apple of their teacher’s eyes. They can thereby become good teachers, excellent administrators and can perform extremely well in any sphere which concerns education. Readily adaptable to changes, Sagittarians make their home wherever they are.
They have within them the art to remain happy and maintain humor even in situations that appear grim. However, if there is something that bothers them, they sink into the aura of spirituality. You might as well find them uttering philosophical thoughts. They must realize that growing in the spiritual world; they lose touch with the world of reality and might ultimately end up more broken than before.
Sports too are one of their biggest talents. Be it archery, swimming, golf or cricket they excel in everything they put their heart and soul into. Luck favors them a lot when it comes to gambling and taking risks. Cobalt blue, maroon and orange are the colors meant for Sagittarians.
They are susceptible to recurring diseases in thighs, hips and feet and thus must take extra care of the same. Ruby is the birthstone of Sagittarius which perfectly reflects their adaptable and somewhat dual natured personality.
