Sagittarius
Fire, Mutable, ruled by Jupiter
What Sagittarius Is About
Sagittarius is the sign of the horizon — always reaching for a bigger idea, a farther place, or a truer answer. It's optimistic almost by default, and it trusts that things generally work out. Freedom, more than comfort, is what it's really chasing.
Element & Modality
As a Fire sign, Sagittarius runs on enthusiasm and instinct rather than caution. As a Mutable sign, it adapts on the move — Mutable signs close out each season, and Sagittarius channels that into restlessness and a constant search for the next horizon.
