Our delineation of the Sagittarius horoscope follows a very logical method, based on ancient basic and archetypal principles. It's NOT about stereotypes.
Every zodiac sign is the result of the so-called Quadruplicities (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs) and Triplicities (related to the four elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth).
The Sagittarius horoscope is based on the Mutable Fire energies:
The Mutable principle is about circulating, moving and changing energies. Mutables refine and adapt. Mutable is changeable, disturbed and unsettled. They are the "changers."
The Fire principle is about enthousiasm, spirit and a lively disposition. Its direction is upward and outward (the combustive state). It's hot and fast. It wants to give in an expansive way.
Blending mutable fire into something tangible or material, you get the keyword of "the torch."
The main characteristics of the Sun (representing your self-expressing life force) in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius are:
does not get bogged down with details
outdoorsy (loves to travel, hiking, sports-minded...)
the grand vision; often too much strings to their bow (over-confident; extravagant; overspending)
lacks some tact, rather bold or blunt
outspoken in the desire to share knowledge, wisdom, vision
entusiastic and impatient self-expression
"above human; below animal" which reflects in his/her behavior
Depending on your birth date, the Sagittarius horoscope divides into the following three decanates:
