Three Misconceptions of the Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Today I'm continuing a 12-part series on the misconceptions of the Zodiac, with the sign of Sagittarius. I'm going to be going through all 12 signs and talking about three common misconceptions that people have about the 12 signs, and offer some deeper context and understanding about all the signs of the Zodiac.

As a sun Sag ... I think the description of us being party animals totally misses what it feels like to be a Sag, what drives us. It's about life-force, unudulturated life-force energy soaring, freed from the shackles of the Scorpio descent. We shake off trivia and untruths, laugh at the ludicrousness of the small things people cling to, and are drawn to live life at a joyful octave. Life-force has many expressions - joy being one. We are creatures driven by an inner energy that has one trajectory. The archers drawn bow describes our aim intention, focus - how we use that energy. Not dissipated party animals at all, when we need to we use our insight, life-force, discernment and understanding of essential truths with laser focus. I love being a Sun Sag!!

So many actors and actresses have sagittarius placements. Super flexible, funny, and open minds and hearts..expansion, spiritual ascension.

Thank you 🙏 for that nuanced take. This Sag Sun appreciates it! Jim Morrison = hedonism and philosophy; Sinead O'Connor = vocal speaker of truths and ongoing religious exploration; Jeff Bridges as The Dude in The Big Lebowski . 🥧🦃🍁❤

I’m sun sag and moon Gemini. I’ve been told that means I’m extremely mentally bi polar 🥀the sag you describe is me to a T and your intelligent deep dive into it literally was like therapy for my soul to know why I do the things I do because I used to hate some of those aspects about me that you described but now hearing the planetary science behind some of my negative traits I breathe a sigh of relief knowing why.

I wanted to revisit this video because I was thinking about Sagittarius today.
I was just thinking about how a lot of people probably associate this season with the holiday and Christmas season, and think of it as an overall joyful time. And a lot of people probably think of Sagittarius similarly.

However historically and liturgically it’s really not the Christmas season, it’s the Advent season. It’s a time of penance, meditation, preparation, and anticipation. The light hasn’t come yet. And similarly Sagittarius being a Jupiter ruled sign, is a lot more spiritual and penitential than people may typically think. People associate Scorpio with darkness, yet Sagittarius is even darker, however it awaits a turning point towards the light.

It’s interesting how similar it is to Pisces, it’s fellow Jupiter ruled sign. Pisces also falls under a penitential season of Lent.

Cap sun, sag rising. I use to feel like my rising sign held me back. People not taking me seriously bc i choose to be chipper and look on the brighter side of life. Thinking I only care about having a good time when im first in the office and the last to leave. Tormenting myself with doubt over whether my hard work is worth it or not bc the expectations I’m trying to meet are probably not in the interest of my happiness but I value duty

Thank you Acyuta, my twins are Sag sun, Gemini rising, Aries Moon, born 45 minutes apart and they are as different as chalk and cheese. My daughter loves to travel, my son not so much, both like to party, both are extremely hard workers often in leadership type roles but they do have a stellium in Capricorn. Son is married, daughter refuses to be tied down. Thank you for shedding a bit of light on this for me.

This might be my favorite one of the series so far. “I do what I want!” was almost a mantra in my early life. Sagittarius Moon 🌙

It's crazy that you use that analogy of Maverick. I'm a double sag and aquarius rising. I'm in recovery for almost 60 days now. On Thanksgiving night my dad (who is positive for COVID) had a mini stroke. I believe from the fever. But this experience shook me to my very core like you wouldn't have thought I was capable of if you knew me. My Dad's fine now but I think about what he told me during my active using, that he just wants to see me sober and with my kids living back with me. Well, I have my daughter living with me and soon my boys. I'm going to use that experience to stay clean and make my dad proud. Just wanted to share. I love your channel 💕♐♒

I have A LOT of Sag in my chart (Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune), with my Sag Sun (conjunct Uranus) in the 12th house and a Sag Rising, and the best way that I can explain my inner most being and essence is that there is constantly this energy swirling in the pit of my stomach, piercing my heart and chest and crystallizing my thoughts in this “time is of the essence” kind of way. It’s like I can just harvest energy and ideas from within me and speak my heart in such a way that I feel like I am being released from the shackles of my own energetic whirl pool, even if those meanings and ideas are not able to find any ground or footing. When I feel like I cannot express myself or perhaps SHOULD not in consideration to my surroundings I feel trapped and confined to this inner dimension which forces me ultimately to find inner dimensions and stories and fables and fairytales that I can immerse myself in and feel free in, because the structures of our world simply doesn’t cut all the different layers to my inner sense of freedom. This is why I am a writer, because I find freedom in it in ways the “material” or physical realm simply cannot provide me with. <3

Saggy raising. Love Top Gun.
I'm very independent. I don't need someone to tag along to go places. Never party. Home body. I volunteer every weekend to feed hungry at my church we feed 700 people with gifts of food on Thanksgiving. I love God and learning all things teaching justice, love to be outside in sun 🌻😎 laughter, comedies, healthy food to workout, Feng shui, I love the thought of being on horse or motorcycle the breeze of going movement . Or shopping all day..rooming. I'm very wise 🦉 more than I know. Pisces sun ...wisdom just erupts in my mouth.. truths. Glass is half full even when it's not. ..
I really like being saggy raising. I do lots of exploring. That's my travel. I'm active. Truthful ..playful. It all means something to me. There are no quincdences for me.

Thankyou so much for this - just the best talk on Sag I've heard! I find it moving because it feels so truthful. As a Sag rising with Jupiter, Neptune (yikes!), and PoF in Sag (and in the bounds of Jupiter), I do feel it's a big part of my character, and a driving force in my life. I was always a very wild, reckless child - but in the sense of being out in nature taking risks, (scrambling up tall cliffs and trees and diving into the sea, riding horses bareback, and I was even into archery...heheh - I was such a Sag cliche!).
I've always been wary of rules if they're about empty power trips, or don't add up to being consistent and reasonable. Natural Law, ethics, and the spirit of the Law I have a great respect for. So much of what you say resonates deeply. Also, ever since I was a child I was fascinated by the stories of the centaurs in mythology. A couple of years ago I read *The Song of Achilles* by Madelyn Miller, which contains a wonderful characterisation of Chiron. I'm going to return to this and rewatch. Thankyou again!

Totally nailed this one for me. My hedonism is botched by Saturn opposite my Sun, Great discussion on my birthday, thank you!

[christinec]

My daughter is a Sag Sun and while she is not a party animal, she can be very impulsive, yet wise in some of her decisions. And she loves to be free to do her own thing.

Try living with someone with a Sag rising, with Jupiter in Sagittarius and a Leo Moon. :)

[Laura-evbw]

I'm a Sag rising with my sun, mercury, venus, mars, uranus, and neptune in Capricorn and I can relate to the Capricorn / Sagittarius dynamic you talked about. I partied alot when I was younger then went through a pressure cooker of a nihilism phase. Then vedic literature, philosophy and singing reopened my heart. I got a fine arts degree when I first went to college but now I'm studying political science, ecology and world religion. I really resonate with what you said about wanting to change laws to be more just and spiritually rooted. Thanks for the video 💚

[ginahaber]

I loved hearing this and connected with my sag moon much more deeply. It resonated so much to hear why I am such a scofflaw and so disdainful of bs laws and rules, yet hold lofty idealism in my personal values. I love me some Acyuta!

[amylynne]

Sag rising with Saturn conjunct my ascendant. In many ways, I’m somewhat grateful for having Saturn there because responsibilities have always been accepted and expected. I feel like having my responsibilities handled, gives me the green light to have fun. And, with less guilt or shame. I’ve definitely embodied the balance of work and play throughout life. Mars in Capricorn ♑️ as an Aries sun could also help with keeping me in check 😬😆

[thecontinuums]

I have a Sag stellium in the third house, where the Sun conjuncts uranus and saturn conjuncts Venus, disposed by Jupiter in Aquarius. The tension you speak of is life. Almost 20 years ago, my first tattoo, right when I turned 18, was “hope” … Someone once commented, after learning it is the only tattoo I still have, that “hope” is the bottom rung on the later out of the pit of despair, and it struck the deepest chord in me, and gave me the most incredible feeling that I somehow innately knew this. It now seems so divinely led. The metaphor here about clinging to the bottom rung in the depths of darkness is ..:.. I can’t find the word. If beautiful, melancholic, poignant, sublime could all be wrapped up in one word, that’s what this feels like. I spent most of my 20’s as drunk as the people I served, dealing with the tragic nature of earthly and societal existence, and in sober solitude dwelling upon the magical nature and brilliance of the spirit filling everything I couldn’t deal with. I’m acutely aware of the tragic magic, but have learned to accept the divinity and necessity of every duality, and especially that the letter of the law will never be what the spirit of the law intended.
