Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Discover what it means to have the sun sign Sagittarius.
Ruled by larger-than-life Jupiter, you have a huge appetite for life. From books to Eastern philosophy to gourmet food, you'll consume it all happily. Limits? You don't believe in 'em. Eternally optimistic, you're willing to play big and fail colossally as part of the game. Fortunately, your gambling instincts tend to be spot-on, and Jupiter makes you legendarily lucky. Independent and adventurous, your sign rules travel, publishing and entrepreneurial ventures. Being your own boss gives you great pleasure, especially if you can hop around the globe and document your experiences in the process. A true student of life, your mind is ever hungry for knowledge and new experiences. You remain on the cutting edge of social change and avant-garde ideas until old age. You're energetic and athletic, and may have legendary legs like Archers Tina Turner, Britney Spears and Jamie Lee Curtis. Honesty is a trait you prize dearly, but watch where you sling your own arrows of "truth." You tend toward tactlessness and may easily offend with your well-meaning comments. In romance, you want to love passionately and fully. Your tendency to put partners up on a pedestal (along with your fierce independence) can make it tough to settle down. When the inevitable low tide flows in, you start looking to distant ports. Once you learn to accept the ebb and flow of relationships, you may discover that you have more options than you know what to do with.
