Sagittarius in Astrology: Meaning and Traits Explained

Discussing the meaning of the zodiac sign Sagittarius in astrology, and explaining the traits and personality characteristics associated with people born under that sign, with astrologers Ashley Paris, Rob Bailey, and Chris Brennan.

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, and it is a masculine or diurnal sign, mutable, fiery, and ruled by Jupiter.

This is the ninth entry in our series of episodes where we do a detailed treatment of each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to develop a nuanced understanding of their core meaning and significations.

Ashley and Rob's credentials for this episode are that they both have a number of placements in the sign of Sagittarius in their birth charts.

During the course of the episode we talk about different keywords and archetypes associated with Sagittarius, and also look at some birth charts of celebrities who were born with different planets in that sign.

Let us know what keywords and qualities you associate with Sagittarius!

""Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die
Take it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Ah, you've been moving much too fast
Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun"- Jim Morrison

I’m Sag first house / rising with Jupiter and the moon in it trined to my Aries sun in fifth. It’s led me to teach yoga for 32 years and overcome cancer without any treatment at all. Very strong, determined and philosophical sign. Very hard to knock a Sag down; or any fire people really.

[sempressfi]

Omg been trying to be patient all Sag season, nearly squeaked in delight when I saw this notification 😆💜 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELLOW CENTAURS ♐️🔥
Sidenote about Rob's chart, I also have an almost entirely Sag and Libra chart aside from Jupiter in Virgo and Pluto in Scorpio

[jennyd_]

As a Sag Asc I have to admit that this episode nailed me hard. Every point was on point, 100%.

When I first heard about The Secret, it worked for me 100% for 12 years straight, flawlessly. It wasn't until Saturn and Pluto met up with my Cap Moon in a back alley that I realized that that Positive Attitude doesn't work when you're in a dark depressive dark night of the soul. I've learned so much though. Amazing episode. Thank you so much for calling me out.

Chris (an hour into the show): I have some Sag credentials

* has a 4-placement stellium * 😂

[rzvn_alexandru]

Thank you to the whole Astrology Podcast team for all this amazing content. As a beginner astrologer this channel and the content provided here is pure gold ! Sun Sag here but with a Capricorn stellium ( mercury, venus, saturn, uranus, neptune ) 😑

[CosmicRJ]

I'm a Sagittarius NN with two young Sagittarius daughter's.
Sagittarius is my 5th house and I loved the reflection about Sagittarius being the light after the dark death. The Phoenix rising.
I have been through many initiations as a mother. Many deaths around what a family is for me. My daughter's also reminded me how to play again. As me. In my creativity and truth without to much seriousness.

[jacquelynkretzschmar]

My brother, David said that I have to start thinking like other people so that they would not be able to constantly broadside me. David, if I start thinking like other people then...I will start thinking like other people. Absolutely mortifying to this Sag.

[Marymadelyn]

These guests were a delight. What a fabulous conversation.

How inspiring! This made me appreciate my Sagittarius moon, my daughter’s Sagittarius Sun and my second daughter’s Sagittarius rising! It is my favourite sign.. with Scorpio as a close second. I truly enjoy this channel so much. Thank you!

Ashley's comment on archery at the end reminded me of Kahlil Gibran's poem 'On Children'- very appropriate given Jupiter's association with fertility, and also with faith:
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

[MaryVaughnMusic]

One of my favorite episodes in this series thus far! I'm a Gemini sun, but I just love Sag energy (my Jupiter is in Sag). I wanted to comment with additional Sag examples I love: Beethoven, who's a quintessential Saggitarian imo. And Jim Morrison whom Ashley reminded me of when she spoke about belief in oneself and ability to do anything just like when Jim says: "I AM THE LIZARD KING. I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!" at the end of Not to Touch the Earth, lol. Another interesting Saggitarian sun would be Britney Spears. My brother is also a Saggitarius sun&mercury, and this episode definitely helped me understand some of his personality traits more easily. Thank you so much for this series. :)

[mercuryascending]

I recently told a Sag sun how much I love Sagittarians and how important they've been in my life. Definitely my favorite Fire sign 😊 (♍sun, ♊rising, ♏ moon, ♃ in ♓) Thanks all! 💚🙏🏼

[KindredSpirit]

I love that you mention the family synastry at the end. That is my greatest fascination. I love looking at family charts! It always blows my mind. I have even run family charts for dogs and it still tracks. Personally, family synastry was what demolished any last shred of skepticism that I still had. I used to work in childcare and I was able to get a lot of family case studies. I would love an episode on family synastry! It is just so crazy! Thank you for this episode. I have a Sagittarius stellium which includes a Jupiter moon conjunction. My south node is at 17° Sagittarius and all three of my siblings have something at 17° Sagittarius. I don't have my mother's birth time, but I have this feeling her AC might be 17° Sag. Both my parent's and my sister are Aquarius sun's. My sister and I have the same rising and moon sign. I actually find that siblings having the same rising sign is very common and often the siblings share a similar experience within the family dynamic. My sister and I are both Capricorn rising and we had to take on a lot of responsibility early, whereas our Gemini rising brother was the baby who everyone took care of.

Loved this episode! With 5 Sag planets (sun, ven, mer, ura, nep) on my Sag MC, I feel it very relevant. I have plenty of beautiful ideas about a better future! Thanks to my Capricorn Mars, around an astonishing 3% of those ideas I can manifest in some form! :D

[ambersimpson]

This is so Awesome, I watched it twice!!! It feels like a birthday present to this Sagittarius 🌞 Gemini 🌛 and Capricorn ⬆️

[_e.n.]

I was so looking forward to this podcast. It's an amazing experience as a Sun, Asc, Merc in Sag & Moon, Mars in Aqua to receive this abundance, from a team sharing the same energies. You brought me much confirmation and light bulb moments going off. Very much appreciate you three for sharing. Awesome podcast. Thank you from Spain 💛✨️💫

[youxine]

Unique content about Sagittarius ♐ I love the interaction between Chris, Ashley, and Rob ❤

[priyamanglani]

Well, I loved how honest Rob was with being like yeah...I have some strong opinions and sharing the whole truth even though it wasn't needed😂
But you can literally see the sag qualities shine in both of them being so complimenting of new ideas that were sort of coming up throughout the conversation and really keep up the conversation from one thing to the next rather than staying focused on one aspect for a long time.
I loved it, really interesting for me...as is expected from Sagittarius ✨
