| The Sagittarius Personality |
|
Sagittarians love
to be free and hate to adhere to rules laid down by anyone, unless they are
fairly administered. They have a great need to expand their consciousness,
together with a primitive urge to explore beyond their immediate and known
environment. They have a need to judge, interpret, translate and formulate the
laws around them, distinct from just knowing and accepting things on face value.
They are intellectually inclined, open-minded, deep thinkers with good
judgement, although they do tend to be very outspoken. They will always seek new
dimensions of thinking in life as they progress through their destiny and, as
they are generally optimistic people, they will always need room to move as they
progress. They enjoy wide-open spaces and travel. The free spirit in them will
always be happy, providing they are not limited or smothered with restriction.
They understand other people's problems and in most cases people will look to
them for the insight they need in finding solutions. Their creative spirit is
supercharged when they get a chance to show the positive side of their
personality and display their creative talents. It is imperative that they
always have communication with others, because they believe in themselves and
know they will succeed in their endeavours against all odds. This is why they
love to teach others. Higher education and self-learning is important to them
and they eagerly use every opportunity they can muster that offers a chance to
prove them selves. At times they are willing to take risks because they are so
confident. They are good friends to many and can be very generous with their
time to those who honestly deserve it.

| Sagittarius in Love |
|
Sagittarius men and women pulse with life and sensuality and
always monitor their actions very carefully. They have a high degree of
versatility and, due to their dual nature, may conduct two relationships
simultaneously. The key words for a Sagittarius in a relationship are ‘Don't
fence me in'. They hate possessive people and love their independence; in fact,
they love to have their cake and eat it too. Sagittarians are always in motion,
high-spirited, jovial, blunt and gullible in their relationships. They can be
extravagant and giving, enchanting and charming. The Sagittarian man or woman
can be an exhibitionist and very versatile around the opposite sex. For a
Sagittarius person love is good sex. To Sagittarian's, romance is the mystery of
a one-night stand. Love comes out of friendship and they need mutual honesty and
a high level of communication with their partner. Sagittarians need a partner
who has a sense of independence that matches their own. They may prefer, when
making love, the thrill and fantasy of an orgy and will attract many
acquaintances and friends throughout their life. However, many partners may not
be able to match their sexual staying power under the sheets or in the hot tub
as their sex drive can be extreme at times. For Sagittarius men or women, their
boundless energy and restlessness is perhaps their greatest challenge throughout
their entire life.

| Health and Wellbeing |

Sagittarius governs the thighs,
hips, sciatic nerve, gout, fistulas, tumours and nervous disorders. This sign
gives a sound and wiry constitution, but Sagittarians are always highly strung,
always on the go and creating excesses, worry and nervous breakdowns.
Rheumatism, varicose veins, overheated blood type fevers and overindulgence can
be problems. Fresh air, sport and exercise are absolutely essential for their
wellbeing.

| Career and Occupation |
|
Business affairs
will always play a role in Sagittarians' destiny no matter what their career or
profession is, and they will
be interested in national and international events or perhaps trading. They will
be very introverted and reserved about their decisions; they will listen to
advice and recommendations from others, but will finally do what was on their
mind at the beginning. They will work toward their objectives with much will and
tenacity, yet they could act obsessively, possibly denying other aspects of
their life, such as emotional relationships. They will probably have artistic
talent, which could be overlooked or neglected in favour of other activities
more likely to be financially rewarding.
Sagittarians must
learn to value every thing they have, not just those that will give them money.
Due to their perseverance and intuition they will be owners of a
corporation or will be working in high positions at some time in their destiny. Sagittarians' career
choice could be one of the following: corporate manager, general trader,
clothing designer, economist, advertising agent, actor, director, fire fighter,
horse trainer, hospital employee, hunter, importer or exporter, solicitor,
interpreter, jockey,
marketing agent, minister, nun, philosopher, promoter, publisher, professional
sportsperson, writer, travel agent, member of the military, X-ray technician,
public relations person, real estate agent, zoo attendant, farmer, animal
breeder, telecommunications technician, gambler, or any other career choice that
allows them to combine their creativity with business. In any type of occupation
they should try not to put themselves into a situation where they have to work
alone in cramped quarters for long periods. Working in restrictive areas or
confined circumstances would certainly irritate them, making them feel like a
prisoner trapped between four walls.
It is imperative
they always have room to move in their daily routine, mentally, physically,
emotionally, spiritually and financially, and they would be lost without their
telephone. They should always look for jobs that offer and allow them to enjoy
wide-open spaces or travel and the freedom to do things in their own way. Many
Sagittarians excel in fields that expand the mind and broaden the horizons. As
they are basically optimistic by nature, they will always look for a position
that offers opportunities onward and upward. It is imperative that they are very
active in their career or business; otherwise they will become extremely bored
and will desire a change of direction. Challenge, change and variety are their
middle names and throughout their life they will always set their sights on the
big picture of success.

| The Sagittarius Woman |
|
The Sagittarius
woman is breezy, energetic, idealistic and a philosopher in her own right. She
will travel at the drop of a hat and loves to visit exciting, out-of-the-way
places. She gets bored with doing the same old thing, so anything different
appeals to her. Sagittarius women are always arranging things, whether it is a
dinner party or a game of tennis or golf. They have the ability to motivate
people and create events. The Sagittarius woman monitors her actions very
carefully, being conservative and thrifty when she wants to be. She even hoards
bits and pieces, odds and ends for a rainy day. She shops at the right stores
and belongs to the right clubs, anything to enhance her social status. She has a
high degree of versatility, great energy and optimism. Provocative in their
behaviour and favouring dramatically different friends and lifestyle,
Sagittarius women don't like to be fenced in.
Freedom is very
important; trying to possess them will lead to disaster. They are high-spirited
and jovial souls who love to be around people, to mix and mingle at parties.
They are truth seekers, honest to the point of pride. They can be extremely
blunt in reprimanding those who do not comply with their standards of honesty.
If you want a trustworthy friend a Sagittarius woman is the one; she is as
incapable of betrayal as she is of lying. She is inclined to be gullible; she
will accept what you tell her at face value. She is extravagant and generous to
her family and friends. Her enchanting, charming nature makes her the ideal
guest in your home. Sagittarius women either are musical or artistic themselves
or appreciate good music and the arts. Their philosophical, spiritual nature
makes them quite prophetic in their own way. They love sex, bringing out the
animal nature in them, and are anything but inhibited. But their relationship is
based on loyalty and trust. The Sagittarius woman dislikes weak men and is drawn
to those who appreciate her independence and free lifestyle. She is always
searching for new horizons.

honest. Sagittarius is a Fire Sign, and Sagittarians do have a tendency to jump
off the deep end when in discussion with others. They have an explosive temper;
they can be snappy, impatient, aggressive and even rude. Sometimes when they are
cranky their sharp comments can rankle. They do not mind a good debate, due to
their dual personality and criticalness. Sagittarius is changeable and
inconsistent. He will not always follow through with what he says he will do,
and will at times deny he even said it. His restless spirit will often make him

not finish them.

activities, camping, fishing and travelling. Their philosophical mind will also
draw them to higher education, teaching, law and marketing. They love to be
around positive people. Saving money gives the Sagittarian man a buzz. He can be
spontaneously generous with special gifts and extravagant purchases, but when it
comes to everyday things he can sometimes be quite prone to cost cutting, even
penny-pinching. Taking a gamble and winning puts him on an elated high. He loves
to beat the odds. An exciting new opportunity or project is pure joy for him. He
will be terribly keen to get into it. Freedom gives him a sense of exhilaration.
He likes to come and go as he pleases and have space in relationships to do what
he wants to do.

| Major Trends |
|
Throughout 2008,
you will have a greater opportunity to accumulate both emotional and material
security bigger than before, giving you a happier inner feeling of peace and
satisfaction by the end of this year. You could also find yourself being more
realistic, less selfish and stubborn than usual and there will be a tendency to
be more tenacious and persevering in pursuing your dreams. It is important,
however, to be less obstinate and willing to compromise, that way you will not
entice undue tension and resentment in others. With Jupiter in Capricorn, your
sector of finances and other people’s money, you may find yourself having the
desire to acquire beautiful or expensive things to a greater degree than you are
used to. This is a year you may consider purchasing a new home or apartment,
investment property, motor vehicle, boat, works of art, or antiques. If you
procrastinate with your expectations, opportunities will be lost. Uranus, planet
of the sudden and unexpected, will continue to transit throughout this year in
your sector of home matters, family, building, renovations, house guests and
everything in and around your house.
During 2008, some
of these influences will play an important part in your destiny and don’t be
surprised if you decide to make a major move into a new direction for the
better. January and February will be a restless and busy start to the year and
Mars will certainly keep the pressure on you and your responsibilities, so you
can expect a few partnership disagreements and there are also endless periods of
frustration as well as a cooling off in joint personal plans. For some there
will be the ending of a long-term business or personal partnership and in some
cases, legal matters will prevail. Don’t allow friendships to dominate your year
and never loan money or stand guarantor for family and friends otherwise
problems will occur. Matters concerning taxation, life assurance, loans,
investments, legacies, inheritances, joint financial interests, may cause you
anxiety and worry if you do not address these issues immediately they raise
their head.
You will need to be
more disciplined in the first six months of this year and show less of your
happy-go-lucky personality traits, added discipline and responsibility may have
you cementing all your priorities in order by the end of 2008. Neptune, planet
of fantasy will continue its slow transit through Aquarius, so don’t get too
carried away with your future plans and be particularly careful with contracts,
signing important papers, long term agreements and travel, as this year may have
a few flaws associated with certain issues regarding these. January to July the
issues of relationships, financial security and career will be important to you
and there will be many new changes to look forward too. During these months it
would be advisable to push ahead for promotions or a career change, as there
will be a luck factor operating in your destiny. Mars will turn on the heat
during these months and give you a boost of energy to accomplish what you want
to do. Your relationship with employers, staff, or people you associate with in
your daily routine will be great during this time and any obstacles can be
overcome easily.
The home will be
the centre of focus during the first six months of the year and this would be a
good time to build or plan extensions to the family home, or redecorate the
office. You may also see some big changes in your destiny between October and
December you have come to a major decision period in your destiny that will
leave its mark for many years ahead. If your usual work is related to sales,
marketing, publishing, communication, computers, electronics, aviation,
investigation, teaching, music or the arts, this will be a very positive year.
No matter what kind of work you are doing, you will want and seek to have a
break in your daily routine and make, as much as possible, certain changes or
alterations in your schedule. During this year you can expect enormous activity
in your life and you will work extremely hard to further your own interests and
assert yourself in the direction of your choice.
This year with
Pluto moving into Capricorn between late January and mid June and again in late
November running through December, you can expect some positive changes to take
place with matters concerning finances that are private, confidential or legal.
Study or training may also interest you throughout 2008 and you may decide to
study a subject that is very different and challenging. Some may wish to study
alternative medicine or metaphysics. New opportunities may also tempt many in
the real estate market, or you may be drawn towards joining sporting or social
clubs, where you can easily make new friends. If it is challenge you want this
year, you can rest assured 2008 has plenty of that ahead. Important new
directions will be taking place throughout these months and your
responsibilities will substantially increase. Be prepared for a very challenging
year with excellent results by December 2008.
During the second
half of this year if you have children, even those who are not your own such as
foster children or an extended family, you will be inclined to dedicate more
time to them and their education or training. Your desire for family harmony
will increase and will affect many facets of your life. You will feel like you
are beginning a new stage in your life that will require you to be more
maturing, sensible, and serious. Lucky Jupiter your ruling planet and explosive
Uranus team up perfectly during March, June and November and some of your old
life patterns will come to an end and you will experience a transformation and
significant changes in your current situation. A great desire to accumulate
material wealth will be strong and 2008 could be your year that ends on a “Big”
note, so whatever you do look forward, not backward and do take a calculated
risk to advance your interests. You have now the commenced your new twelve year
Jupiter cycle and happiness is assured.

| Romance and Friendship |
|
Venus will
influence your partnership sector in April, late May through to mid July and
also the month of September, creating a stable and harmonious relationship
between your partner and yourself. Venus’s transit will also invite sudden
changes in your personal and marital relationships throughout 2008. For some
this can mean a sudden attraction and the excitement of a new love or a renewal
of a past relationship. Involvements may be very strong, very quick, and may or
may not have staying power however you will have lots of fun.
For singles, new
relationships you meet this year may eventually lead to marriage in the years
ahead, but probably not during this sporadic year. Loose associations will be
common with some, friends become lovers and some love relationships seem more
like friendships. Occasionally, relationships and attractions will be less than
conventional in 2008. Affairs between or with married individuals and
long-distance romances are also possible for some. Pluto’s influence with all
relationships and those people you have close associations with will in 2008,
will undergo some delightful changes in the second half of this year. You will
be a fanatic with your emotions and probably drive people crazy from late
October until the end of December.
Rather than a
relationship just based on intellect, this is a year of depth from the bottom of
your heart. You may not be easy to get along with or live with at times during
2008, as you my display a general mood of disruption that may permeate all
partnerships, whether old or new if you are not careful. Difficult relationships
may end or become on-again, off-again involvements, but for those in a healthy
relationship, changes will occur within the relationship and there appears to be
no indication of a break in ties or a loss of commitment to one another. You or
your partner may have a desire for greater freedom and openness. For some
Sagittarians changes may involve a loss of comfort and stability, but also a
gain in newness and excitement. For example, the birth of a child will bring
both disruption and excitement to the new parents. Gone is the relaxing comfort
of a stable schedule and expectations or behavioural patterns that you have
taken for granted in the past, may now be nonexistent.
New patterns in
your love life may emerge throughout 2008, but while these necessary adjustments
are being made, the odd disruption may cause difficulties and temporary
distancing between you and the people involved. Any strong change in your
emotional life can cause much disruption in established relationship patterns.
Common examples of this are relocation, retirement, heavy extended travel, and
changes in the number of people living with you at home. Joint financial changes
are also likely to create disagreements in March, April, June, July, August,
September, November and December, when Mars clashes with a variety of planets.
If you are involved in a new and exciting relationship, you may give up your
present home and job to relocate to his or her area and you may dispose of much
of what you own before the move.
Overall, this year
you can benefit, either directly or indirectly, through the influence or
assistance of a good emotional partnership, relationships can be very rewarding
and you will reap what you have sown. If you have been helpful and understanding
to others in the past, you can expect the same treatment now. Your lover,
business partner, or spouse may be actively supportive of your goals, either
financially or emotionally. For singles, settling down to a daily routine of
marriage and raising a family may appeal to you. What you believe to be true
about most relationships can either be consistent with your experience, or in
conflict with the reality of your situation throughout 2008. Issues concerning
morals, ethics, and monogamy are important and you may discuss whether your
relationship is an open or closed one. Defining the ethics of relating in a
close romantic relationship becomes one of your goals during this
year.

| Professions, Career and Work |
|
With Saturn’s
transit through the sign of Virgo (your career sector) this year will require
you to take a more serious and responsible attitude towards your employment.
From May onward when Mars moves into the zodiac sign of Leo, this will influence
a more serious and determined side to your nature, especially in the type of
work you wish to pursue. You will certainly show greater determination about
what you want and how you are going to get it. During 2008 you will have
numerous opportunities to follow a different direction and take up a new line of
work. Uranus the planet of unexpected change continues its long transit through
Pisces your sector of home and security and mirrors into your career sector. You
may decide to take a different track with employment when choosing a
professional direction or business opportunity or you may decide to work from an
office in your home. During this year, you may even decide to give up your
present position and retire near the coast or on the land doing your own thing.
For many, you may enjoy employment that evolves travel, sales, marketing, public
relations, communication, technology, journalism, screen writing, real estate or
hospitality.
Lucky Jupiter will
transit Capricorn this year and this transit can set you up for a big financial
change for the better through new employment offers. If you wish to better your
self throughout 2008 then consider branching out into a professional career or
further your studies at college and university, it will be worth your while.
Professional success can also be achieved if you so desire in accountancy,
economics, law, investigation, corporate management, biochemist, dietician, or
services to humanity. Venus will enter your financial sectors in late January,
to the middle of February, mid June to mid July, mid November to early December.
During these cycles you will have an opportunity to advance your bank account
through career promotions or better job conditions.
Throughout this
year, you may find yourself involved with libraries, computers, research,
technology and travel in connection with your employment. For those Sagittarians
who are considering medicine as a profession, 2008 is a positive year for the
commencement of studies and success is indicated. Thanks to constant work
opportunities in the second half of 2008, you will have many offers to through
new contracts and agreements. You have the ability to direct your energies in an
organized and disciplined way and you will know when to run or when to stay.
Your constructive energy level will allow you to take control of any situation
you are involved in and make a clean sweep for success. During this year your
opinions will also change sequentially as the weeks go by.
Pluto in
Sagittarius will give you the authority you need to stand your ground over any
issue or person that may oppose your plans and ideas. You may have to watch
stress and anxieties during April, May, August and September creating at times a
difficult situation with members of the work force. The most positive
manifestation of Uranus in Pisces is your ability to be open to new information
and new ways of looking at life without prejudice or judgement. For school
leavers and those hoping to enter the workforce for the first time, rest assured
you have luck on your side and job opportunities will be offered to you. Success
is yours for the taking, but you must look inside your self for the answers and
have a positive outlook when you encounter the odd setback. Intense and powerful
experiences will change your viewpoint in wonderful ways this year, so be
prepared to jump while the iron is hot. Investigation exploring uncharted
territories is favoured. Make a favourable impression on others if you have the
need, or utilize this year’s planetary energy to the fullest and success is
yours for the taking. You can certainly get things accomplished, so endeavour to
be a positive force in the world. Do something creative and constructive for the
masses and you will certainly receive recognition for your efforts. Contacts
this year will be with more Capricorn, Scorpio, Libra, Leo and Gemini
personalities, and should be quite harmonious, especially in work.

| Luck and Money |
|
Over the past
twelve months, you have been preparing yourself for a new direction with
long-term changes and throughout 2008 lucky and expansive Jupiter will transit
your sector of personal incomes and mirror on other people’s money, finance,
loans, insurance, shares, banks, taxation, joint financial affairs, profits and
losses. This is certainly the year to push ahead with all financial deals and
negotiations as there is every possibility you will be better off financially
this year. The amount of money available to you is likely to change or fluctuate
quite suddenly throughout 2008 and by the end of this year and you will be very
happy with your overall results. Self-employment is also a strong possibility
for many and if you are newly self-employed and have not established a steady
clientele, this is a year you may boost your profits. If you are considering a
move away or overseas to settle permanently, then rest assured, you financial
security ahead is looking good.
During 2008,
Jupiter and Uranus will meet favourable between the months of March, and early
June, also November. It is during these cycles you may be at the right place at
the right time when opportunity knocks. If you and a partner wish to join forces
with you in connection with a project or investment opportunity, you will now
able to share resources with that another person profitably. If you have already
been sharing resources up to this point, the dollar amount of the shared funds
is likely to increase and your partner could be a decided asset in regard to
boosting your funds or income even more. This placement of Jupiter and Uranus
commonly shows money coming to you through others, possibly in the form of a
lump sum, commissions, windfall, speculation, loans, real estate or for services
rendered. For those who are interested in making a large purchase such as
building a home, combined incomes and savings makes this goal a reality. Besides
shared resources, you may acquire money through other means, including an
inheritance, gift or monetary settlement from an insurance claim or legal case.
Funds from profit sharing, royalties, and advances for books or inventions are
also possible for some. Because of the extra money coming in, this may be a good
time to place some funds in an investment account or hire a broker or investment
adviser to manage your money. In this way your money works for you, creating
extra funds through means other than salary. 2008 indicates a fortunate year for
you overall, so don’t waste one day.

Your health sectors
of your horoscope are Taurus and Scorpio and adverse planetary aspects
throughout 2008 should not excessively inflict either of them. However
over-indulgence, excess and weight problems could be a problem for many and any
previous health symptoms should now be deal with now by your health
practitioner. In general, you will be healthy because you will be mentally
sound, happy and positive; thinking of your dreams and goals and hypochondria is
far from your mind. You seem to be enthusiastic throughout 2008 to improve your
body, so this year endeavour to change your habit patterns by exercising
consistently. You must pay attention to your cholesterol, as the good life will
certainly attract you to eat, drink and be merry. To preserve good health, you
must consider the following: avoid fatty, fried foods and red meat; control the
intake of sweets; replace pastries with fresh fruits and carbonated drinks with
vegetable or natural fruit juices; participate fully in outdoor sports; keep a
positive and happy attitude in the face of problems; avoid negative influences
or suggestions from others; be moderate at parties, on dates and try to rest
adequately; do not smoke; do not drink or eat excessively; do not neglect your
body, get annual check-ups; practice fasting or some type of body-cleansing diet
regularly; engage in some intellectual activity to your taste; sun-bathe;
cultivate and maintain your great sense of humour.
This year you may
encounter respiratory difficulties, such as hay fever, allergies, colds and flu,
chronic bronchitis, pneumonia or pulmonary congestion. In time you could also be
prone to rheumatism or arthritis in the arms, knees and feet. The lower back and
thigh areas are also vulnerable and muscle tissue may also cause you some
discomfort from time to time. Difficulties can arise in your nervous system
because of the lack of calcium and manganese. Health issues are more prominent
between June and December 2008. Throughout 2008 get plenty of exercise and learn
to relax through meditation or yoga.
