Sagittarius—tendencies of Sun Signs, 3/12

Fire Signs

People with Sagittarius Suns tend to have very interesting life stories. They find themselves in somewhat unusual situations often, not necessarily due to any of their own choices. It’s like they are collecting experiences. It’s also similar with Sagittarius Midheavens. Ask a Sagittarius Sun about their life history.

Sagittarius Suns can be very open-hearted and wise because they have seen a lot of the world. They are good at transmuting hardship into life lessons and art. They often come out on top even with lots of change in their life. They’ve learned to adapt well to change and can even get a bit antsy when things are too samey. They like their lives to be expansive. Take a trip with the Sagittarius Sun in your life.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so their Jupiter position (and its dignity) will affect the tone of their life. A Sagittarius Sun with a Jupiter in good dignity—in the signs Sagittarius, Pisces, Cancer—will often have a more hopeful outlook on the world and seem luckier. A Sagittarius Sun with a Jupiter in poor dignity—in the signs Virgo, Gemini, Capricorn—will have seen more hardship, and may have become more compassionate, or sometimes dour.

Because Sagittarius is Jupiter ruled, I’d guess that their life circumstances can change dramatically every 6-7 years, which is half of a Jupiter orbital cycle, which puts Jupiter in opposition to the original position. Every 3-4 years, Jupiter will be at a square to its original position as well, which can also be a major time of change. This effect happens to everyone but for Sagittarius Suns the effect will be more prominent.

Sagittarius Suns are likely to have Mercury in Sagittarius as well (Mercury is always within one sign of the Sun) which would put their Mercury in detriment, a poor dignity, reducing the effectiveness of Mercury. I think a Sagittarius Mercury person typically learns through hands-on experience much better than through traditional teaching methods, and may benefit from special attention in a learning setting. Sagittarius Mercurys will tend towards the philosophical in their conversations, and usually notice broad patterns more easily than fine details. Certainly check the Mercury position of for a person with Sagittarius Sun. Their Mercury can be in Scorpio, Capricorn, or Sagittarius.

As always, these are only stereotypes, that some people will fall outside of. Astrology is very complicated and the whole chart needs to be considered for accuracy. I’m available for personal readings at my site: sangastrology.com
