Sagittarius
Sagittarius It is the last of the Fire signs, and the most complicated which fits with its mutable designation. Whereas the other Fire signs are brazenly self-focused, others might say self-centered, Sagittarius takes this impulse toward action and directs it into the world. Blessed with a kind of perpetual optimism and cheerfulness, Sagittarius isn't here to entertain and enliven your day, it is here to discover something about life, to submit to the Great Teacher. Sagittarius is driven to earn its reputation as the goal-seeking adventurer by a restless desire to always be roving and an innate antagonism to structures and confines of every type. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and also the ruler of the 9th House, the house of philosophy and higher learning. It is this ultimately which is the goal Sagittarius seeks, the goal of knowledge—not just the facts of things, but the secret meaning behind them.
Sagittarius doesn't get bored quite like Gemini but does seem to have an intuitive repulsion for restrictions. The risk is that they may not linger in a situation or stay with companions long enough to reach the goal they are seeking, as the motion which this sign naturally induces in the face of limitation may cause them to miss out on some of the beauty which life can only offer in permanent relation.
Myth The figure of Zeus, the Greek name for Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, looms large over this sign. Legion are the stories of his escapades and wandering eye, though in every case after the ensuing chaos has begun to subside he returns to Hera's side. Zeus, however, is not the mythic figure of Sagittarius—the centaur archer is. It is this directedness which seems to animate Sagittarius, a primordial motion which is symbolized in the arrow’s flight. Not quite as simplistic though, on deeper contemplation, as it appears to be, is this phenomenon of motion, expansion—not only cause and effect. Bergson reveals the extent to which it is possible to discover strange truths hiding within the seemingly mundane journey taken by the arrow as it rushes across the field on the way to its target. There is something fundamentally supernatural about every quest, some sublimated appeal to the divine within every inquiry.
And behind the Sagittarian cheer, there lurks a fear of what it insists on most strongly—cannot be true—a fear of the void, of the ultimately chaotic and meaningless answer waiting in the wings. This fear is unfounded, but in order to completely dispel it you must pursue the rainbow to it's end.
HAND OF FATE: To not only seek, but to have the wisdom to know when you have found.
