Optimist, adventurer and seeker of truth!
In astrology, Sagittarius makes its entrance on 22 November. This fiery sign, which is ruled by the planet Jupiter, brings an energetic, optimistic and adventurous atmosphere with it. But what makes Sagittarius so unique, and how does this energy influence us all during this period?
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, symbolises expansion, growth and knowledge. No wonder that Sagittarius is known for its insatiable hunger for truth and justice. This sign is always in search of deeper insights and the passing on of knowledge. Sagittarians are therefore often seen in roles such as judges, spiritual leaders, teachers and academics. Their mission? To inspire the world by sharing wisdom and justice.
In astrology, Sagittarians are characterised by a strong sense of justice, combined with boundless optimism and a fiery passion for adventure. They have the unique gift of bringing light and lightness, even in difficult times. Just think of Robin Hood from the Disney film: he perfectly embodies the qualities of Sagittarius. With his creative schemes and his sincere wish to help the poor, he radiates both justice and a zest for life.
In astrology, Sagittarius is a fire sign: energetic, passionate and always on the move. This sign is often associated with Chiron, the Centaur from Greek mythology. Chiron, half human and half horse, symbolises two sides of Sagittarius:
Together these qualities form a balance between intellect and instinct, which is what makes Sagittarius so fascinating.
Every astrological energy has a counterpart, and for Sagittarius that is the sign Gemini, ruled by Mercury. Where Sagittarius searches for universal truths, Gemini focuses on curiosity and details. This contrast was subtly woven into the Disney version of Robin Hood: as a sly fox he also has a mercurial side – ingenious, witty and cunning.
The arrow of Sagittarius is not just a symbol. It points to the world axis, the centre around which everything revolves. In an astrological and spiritual sense, this refers to the search for higher, divine knowledge and the sharing of these insights with others. It is this focus on growth and wisdom that forms the core of the Sagittarius energy.
Sagittarians are natural optimists with a deep desire to explore and understand the world. Whether you are a Sagittarius yourself or know someone with this sign, this period brings everyone the chance to gather new knowledge and reflect on greater truths.
