Mars gives an individual facet to the personality, bringing to the surface the instinctive desires and impulses. It is too often associated with anger and violence by those not having the benefit of the energies it gives to the typical Arian.

The stronger, evolved and intuitive mind this planet imparts to its children can cause them to delve in the occult, the supernatural, and even in astrology.

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, ruled by Jupiter. As the ninth sign of the zodiac, the Sagittarius individual is a free spirit who is an easy-going, optimistic, inquisitive, and very straightforward soul who was born to explore, both inwardly and outwardly. Famous and Historical characters sharing the Sagittarius sign include Nostradamus (November 14), Winston Churchill (November 30), Mark Twain (November 30), and Britney Spears (December 2).

Sagittarius is the traveler of the zodiac and considers every day an opportunity for another adventure. This is a cheerful, spontaneous, and idealistic individual with an exceptional sense of humor. Though there is not a malicious bone in his body, Sagittarius often suffers from foot-in-mouth syndrome, giving honest assessments where a little tact might suit the situation better, then dancing merrily away with nary a thought as to how his comments have negatively affected others. Though not considered particularly deep by friends and acquaintances, Sagittarius does think deeply about the big picture, such as why he is here and where he is going, and can often see the end results with almost prophetic accuracy. As a lifelong seeker of knowledge, Sagittarius will likely be quite well-read in a variety of subjects, and will be equipped with a well-developed philosophy in which he maintains unshakable faith. Sagittarians retain almost a child-like quality throughout their lives, always remaining optimistic and never fully accepting the seriousness inherent in day-to-day living. Obviously, this degree of child-like naivety coupled with borderline reckless spontaneity can and does cause problems for some Sagittarius individuals, but if things don't turn out well, they will dust themselves off and cheerfully jump to their next adventure without any serious regrets.

For those with a Sagittarian child, you have a happy-go-lucky kid who is always on the move, and who from a young age will bounce around the house with a skip in his step and a song on his lips. This is an adaptable kid who will accept and even embrace change readily, and who will be the first out the door when the family is planning a trip. He will live his little life with reckless abandon, exploring, discovering, and pushing his boundaries every waking hour, with his exasperated parents always a step behind. Early on, that Sagittarian "mouth faster than brain" trait will show up, and it would behoove parents to watch what they say around him, lest they find him happily spewing family secrets to all the neighbors. Once in school, expect your little Sagittarian to be the class clown, with a lot of admiring little friends. He will certainly not be the most focused kid in the class, but he is smart enough and ambitious enough to do a good job in his studies, especially with gentle guidance. Sagittarius kids will likely be interested in sports while in school, and this is good outlet for them, both to burn off energy and to teach that discipline is not always a bad thing. Sagittarian kids may also show a penchant for the performing arts while still in school, and should be encouraged in this respect, as many a Sagittarian has made his mark in show business.

Sagittarius in the workplace is the one with the world map on the wall with push pins in all the places he plans to go. He is self-confident, positive, enthusiastic, and easy-going, and he is likely way ahead of you as far as the company's big picture is concerned. As the sign of the Archer, Sagittarius will aim high at work, resulting in rather spectacular achievements (or sometimes spectacular failures). Fortunately, his successes will usually outweigh his failures, and in general you can count on his hunches to pan out profitably. Sagittarius will get along well with co-workers despite his always present blunt tactlessness, and because of his need to know everything, he will be a fountain of information as far as who is doing what at any given moment. Though he might seem frivolous and you often find yourself wondering if he is doing anything at all, Sagittarius will be the one who pinch hits at the eleventh hour and saves the day. Sagittarius will do best in occupations that allow for a good bit of freedom, and will wilt like a week-old rose in a job that is too restrictive.

If you have found a romantic partner in a Sagittarian, the first thing you need to know is that although he reels in fairly easily, he is likely going to be difficult to land. The Sagittarian mind equates commitment to confinement, and it is just not in his nature to accept confinement without a struggle. Sagittarius is a wanderer and a philosopher who will only accept a partner who understands his need for adventure and excitement. Homebodies need not apply! Your Sagittarian will be a spontaneous, fun, energetic, even-tempered mate most of the time, but if you do something to irritate him, don't be surprised if he unleashes a surprising fiery side that will likely be sprinkled with the unvarnished, unflattering truth as he sees it. The best mate for Sagittarius is one who is strong, self-assured, independent, and adventurous, who is willing to give him the space he needs.

The best matches for Sagittarius for sure are Aries and Leo, but Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aquarius might work for some individuals. It will likely be tough going for Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces, which are the least compatible signs for Sagittarius.

Sagittarius in any relationship is going to be a fun, exciting, fast-moving ride indeed. Sagittarius possesses a degree of spontaneity not seen in any of the other signs, and will continually surprise you with new adventures in living. Be aware that your Sagittarian friend will at some juncture point out your physical or personality flaws in offhand remarks, never realizing the impact of his observations. Understanding and accepting that this is just part of the deal will go a long way as far as being able to just ignore this particular trait in your Sagittarius friend. In general, your Sagittarian friend will provide you with a lot of laughs and a lot of adventure, going places you've never been and seeing things you've never seen, while simultaneously providing engaging insight and profound commentary along the way.
