What Sagittarius brings to your Sun

Sagittarius is a Fire, Mutable sign ruled by Jupiter. Fire is instinctive, expressive and quick to act. By mode it adapts. It flexes, adjusts and moves with change. So your Sun, your core identity, vitality and the self you are becoming, takes on that colour: the seeker: adventurous, optimistic and truth-hungry, always aiming the arrow toward a bigger horizon.

The sign itself, its dates, element and ruler, has a page of its own: Sagittarius.

Strengths & the growing edge

At its best, this placement is adventurous, optimistic and philosophical. That is where your Sun shines most naturally. Its growing edge is the blunt side. That is not a flaw. It is the place that asks for a little awareness, so the gift does not tip into strain.

A question to sit with

Where in your life does your Sun most want to be adventurous, and where might its blunt streak be asking you for a little more gentleness?

Sagittarius Sun with every Moon sign

Your Sun is half of it. The other light is the one that says what you need rather than what you are after, and the two together read differently from either alone. There is a page for all twelve combinations, and each one names the phase of the Moon that the distance between them forces.
