GOOD THINGS: they always have a great story to share, either based on reality or their own version of the truth; their opinions and judgments are freely given and can be highly entertaining; frequent flyer miles will start to add up with all the new places you will visit together; you won’t have to lose your own sense of independence as they will refuse to give up their own; you will be exposed to witty banter, edgy conversations, and tasty sarcasm; you will learn a lot about politics, foreign cultures or customs; your palette will be introduced to all kinds of new foods and cuisines; always someone in your corner – your Sag isn’t afraid to fight for you; your family will be highly amused by your Sag’s energy and personality; you won’t need to really explain yourself because your Sag either doesn’t care, or already has made their opinion of you, and that won’t change for better or for worse; they will help you start up your business as they are perfectionists in their field and expect and demand only the best.
BAD THINGS: you will inherit their large debt when you marry them; their opinion of you, once negative, will never change; they will tell you that you are fat if you ask them how your butt looks in those jeans; their anger is intense and scary, and brought on by something that may or may not have happened at least 5 years ago; resentments run deep and are never forgotten, but often manifested in passive aggressive ways; emotional conversations and true in-depth insight into their soul will probably happen once in a blue moon, if ever; they tend to cheat, especially in their first marriage; they have a very strong sense of their own morality, and you will be damned if you don’t agree with their perspective; you may get annoyed that your evenings out are spent listening to their conversations with everyone in the room but you; they tend to get themselves into trouble by speaking first, and thinking later; you will be embarrassed on more than one occasion—every DAY—by something they say; privacy does not exist in their language, but secrecy does; you may never get to enjoy your fine hard liquors or wines because your Sag will drink them all first; drunken behavior is a natural state for them, and can often lead to tantrums or physical fights; sometimes, you just don’t want to deal with their family drama or mommy/daddy issues; you may grow tired defending their actions to your closest friends and family.
DATE THEM IF YOU: always wanted to date the bad boy or the headstrong girl; want someone to share constant adventures with; thrive on banter and mental stimulation; enjoy meeting people from all parts of the world; need to be with someone that will always keep you on your toes; enjoy drinking and eating in epic proportions; want to start a family later in life; enjoy your own independence; don’t want to be judged for running high credit card debt; enjoy being with someone who is a hard worker and will devote the majority of his/her day to their job, but will then be up to party all night with you; have a tough time telling people how you think/feel about something—your Sag will definitely say it for you; don’t get embarrassed easily or care what the masses think about your Sag S.O. (or SOB).
ADDITIONAL: Sagittarians are a fascinating sign. Headstrong and masculine in nature, this sign is never one to back down from a challenge, whether it is of the mental or physical variety. They hate to lose and will continue onwards and upwards in the pursuit of accomplishing a goal. Success is vital to their sense of identity and, as such, their jealousies can run deep and strong. Trying to keep up with the Joneses can hinder this sign more than any other. They always want more, and compare themselves too much to what others have, to appreciate what they already have. A truly evolved Sagittarian will learn this about themselves early on in their life and learn to tame the green eyed monster that dwells within their mind, heart, and soul. But, no doubt, there will be the blood of their victims shed along the way to this path of enlightenment.
Blunt and always lacking that filter, Sagittarians tend to wreck themselves and THEN check themselves. This can lead to very strained relationships in their lives, especially with their loved ones and coworkers. To truly love a Sagittarian, you must love them for their inability to tone it down. Accept the crazy that is them. They have an amazing heart and an intense predisposition to loyalty and family, but if they are wounded (especially in their formative years), it may take a lifetime for them to get over their past pains and struggles. They can’t forgive and forget, even if they say they do.
Most people either love or hate the controversial Sagittarian. There doesn’t tend to be a middle ground with them. At first, it is easy to love a Sag. They are charming, engaging, funny, and witty. They spin stories, work a room, and have a charisma that never stops. Simply put, they are fun to be around. To be accepted into their very selective inner circle feels like winning the lottery, or like catching the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You will spend a lot of time laughing at the antics of your Sag—they promise to never be predictable, that’s for sure. The men are players and the women are challenges, so to tame them is equivalent to taming a wild stallion. The beauty is that, once tamed, or once you earn their loyalty, they are committed. If they say they are going to do something, they will do it. The hard part is getting them to say it in the first place. Their commitment is their sense of binding honor. To back out of a commitment is a failure to them. And they don’t accept failure.
They should try not to take everything to excess—drinking, gambling, drugs, partying, escaping to avoid reality, or even work. They tend to know only 2 gears: parked or 100 mph. If you can keep pace with this, then a Sag is a good match for you. Try to find the Sag that has emotionally (and spiritually) evolved. Sags tend to have checkered pasts and many skeletons that they don’t divulge, but rather, let eat at them from the inside out. Once they come to terms with this (either through religion, spiritual evolution, or a life threatening/changing experience), they can become some of the most brilliant and inspiring people you will meet. Hang in there with your Sag, even if you sometimes feel like wanting to hang them. They can be worth it, if you let them prove it to you. Don’t make it too easy for them…they will walk all over you. Stand your ground. Remember: they like challenge and competition. You are the prize. They are the warrior. Let the games begin!
Special note: there is an elusive, rare Sagittarian out there that is usually female that is quiet, soft spoken, and doesn’t drink. She loves history, politics, and learning about foreign cultures and customs, but she does it from her favorite chair in the living room or in the corner of her favorite library. She is not the norm for Sagittarius, but she does exist. If you find this type of Sagittarian woman, hold on to her. She is the type who secretly knows she can be all the things mentioned above—good and bad—and is “afraid” to let go. She plays it safe, but she dreams about taking risks. In a relationship, she gives herself entirely to the man she is with. She will do anything for him and will be nurturing and caring of his needs. Sorry, but this doesn’t pertain to the men. It will be a rare day indeed when you come across a soft-spoken Sagittarian man. Check his birth date, I suspect he is lying.
