Sagittarius is the 9th
zodiac sign and the last fire element sign which falls between Nov 22-Dec 21. Keep in mind you may see varying
dates year to year but it is usually no more than a day difference. If you’re birthday falls on a cusp (the day
the Sun moves into another sign) you will most likely have personality traits
of both Sun signs.
The Sagittarius glyph /symbol is The Archer-Centaur,
half man, half horse with a bow and arrow. This 2 part symbol in my perspective
represents man’s mind in the driver’s seat so to speak with the stamina of a horse
to successfully perform the ideas or plans man makes. The bow and arrow represents whether the
Sagittarian has good “aim” or not, focus
is one trait that is not so strong in a Sag.
This freedom seeker, fire mutable sign, is ruled by
Jupiter, a planet that represents the higher mind, expansiveness, generosity,
wisdom, justice, faith and vision. Jupiter is also known to be the planet of luck and
joy. Sagittarians adapt to situations
around them quite well. They are masters
at turning around negative situations into positive with their wisdom and optimistic
insight. I know a few Sagittarians, all
of which possess a spiritual, open mindedness that I enjoy. I dubbed them as my
personal philosophers who, at times, get on their proverbial soap box and
preach.
Sagittarius is a mentally oriented sign therefore they
make great teachers, and counselors. They are naturally happy go lucky, fair-minded,
honest and cheerful. Life is a journey
for the Sag, always traveling, exploring, and meeting new people sharing
stories and ideas. On the other hand the Sag can be uncommitted, restless, hot
headed, argumentative, tactless, and critical.
Sagittarians are not particularly romantic, and are somewhat relationship
phobic, but they do enjoy the thrill of the chase with a stimulating and
energizing mate. As a friend, they are
always there to cheer you up with their hopefulness, funny stories and genuine
spirit.
I like to associate the Sagittarian with Marjoram (Origanum marjorana) essential oil for
its soothing warmth. Marjoram aroma holds a calming confidence, that’s sincere
and direct while keeping mental strains and anger at bay. Marjoram essential oil and Sagittarius are
often associated with the Third Eye chakra of vision, wisdom, spirituality and
intuition. This essential oil is also
known for its topical analgesic properties which is helpful for the active
Sagittarius who may complain about muscle strains and sprains. Marjoram is also
noted to be associated with Sagittarians ruling planet, Jupiter.
Also associated with
the Fire element, Bergamot (Citrus
bergamia), by far, is a scent that will bring good cheer, strength and joy
to any soul. It’s an aroma that
has a reputation for calming frazzled nerves while uplifting the soul and works
wonders for a restful sleep. This fresh citrus scent assists
in bringing laughter to the sometimes hot headed Sagittarian, while emphasizing
the Sagittarians drive and strength.
Embracing the aroma may emotionally open the heart to receive and accept love which is helpful
for a heart which might have been closed off.
Since Sagittarians are spiritual beings, Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi) is a good
choice for them. Although Spikenard has a pungent, musty aroma that many do not
like initially, its depth is warm, deep and balancing. With this, spikenard encourages inner balance
of emotional, spiritual and physical energies. Like its calming herb cousin
Valerian,
Nardo is also recognized
for its soothing, grounding and harmonizing ways.
Fun Fact: Mark Twain was a Sagittarius.
