All About Sagittarius

Sagittarius (November 23-December 21)

Cheerful Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is the "happy" planet, full of energy and confidence. Sagittarians often reflect Jupiter's larger-than-life persona. As the zodiac's traveler, Sagittarius is the ultimate free spirit: optimistic, open-minded and ambitious. You're happiest in wide-open spaces with plenty of adventure and excitement. You juggle a million projects, hobbies and friends. The more, the merrier! Sagittarius is forever pursuing a super-sized goal. Even when you fail, nothing can keep you down. You'll chalk it up as a life lesson and inspire everyone with tales of your experience. As the sign of wisdom and truth, Sagittarius loves to "tell it like it is," especially when it makes people laugh. However, your honesty doesn't always come in the prettiest package. You've been known to bruise feelings with your bluntness. Cultivate patience, and be careful not to come off as a know-it-all. Although Sag loves the thrill of a new project or friendship, you don't always finish what you start. Work on keeping your promises and commitments.
