The Month of the Sagittarius

Happy Birthday Sagittariuses! Through November 22nd – December 21st, we get to celebrate our favorite free spirits who bring the adventure into our lives!

The Sagittarius is Chiron, the Archer, and an immortal centaur. Chiron was known for his wisdom and gentle spirit. He tutored young Greek heroes, such as Achilles and Jason, and lived deep in the countryside in a cave.

One day the Greek God, Heracles, was attempting to wipe out the vicious centaurs, and accidentally shot Chiron with a poisonous arrow that was tipped with venom from the Lernean Hydra. Although Chiron was immortal, he could not heal himself and was in great agony, so much so that he wanted to die. Prometheus the Titan made a trade with Chiron and made him mortal, where he then died and ascended into the heavens; becoming the symbol for the Sagittarius.

Being a fire sign, Sagittariuses have a burning excitement and passion for life. They love to laugh and are considered to be the happiest of the zodiac signs. They are the ninth sign of the Zodiac and are ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet, therefore they have big ideas and are greatly affiliated with the need for expansion and travel.

Sagittariuses must have freedom; they are people of the world and are constantly seeking adventure and new experiences. Their open minds allow them to question their surroundings and truly seek what the meaning of life is with an intense curiosity. When they set goals, there is nothing that can stand in their way to achieve it. Sagittariuses have a relationship and connection with the universe, and trust that it will always provide for them.

When it comes to sex and love, being a centaur, Sagittariuses often contradict themselves. They are torn in half by their animal instincts and look at the world with an enlightened way of thinking. They hate being tied down, yet they long for a soulmate to experience life with. Being a fire sign, their relationships are passionate and fast paced. They are the sign of the hunters and love the chase! Their partners must be able to keep up and keep things interesting, yet be grounded enough so the Sagittarius feels loved and secure.

Some of the key characters, both positive and negative, that make up our loveable Sagittariuses include:
