DECEMBER 2008 ASTROLOGY FORECAST

Sagittarius Birthday Profile


People are charmed by you because of your optimistic, sociable nature. You seem
always ready for a good time. Your innate need for freedom at any cost prevents
anything or anyone from dragging you down or stifling you. Many people wish
they could live as fully and freely as you do. The enthusiasm and gusto you constantly
exhibit towards life are something to be envied. But let's not leave out your lifelong
struggle for spiritual development which is highly evolved.

Of course all sun signs have their flaws or weaknesses. And you probably are aware
that yours is foot-in-mouth disease. At times, your desire to be absolutely truthful
comes across as not just honest candor, but more like tactless criticism.

You will often find these lively, restless minds teaching, exploring, researching,
publishing, writing, or helping others access information as a librarian. They also
make excellent lawyers, travel agents, veterinary surgeons, and sportsmen and
sportswomen. You will rarely find one in a dull, dead-end job.

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign who often use their fiery passion to work for justice for
those treated unfairly in society. They frequently have a cause. His or her life must
always contain some element of challenge. That they are mutable means that
accept change well, and, indeed, must always have more than one task at a time.
They frequently have more than one job, or a job plus volunteer projects that equal
the time commitment of a full-time job.

The symbol for Sagittarius is the archer's arrow. Its energy is pointed upwards
towards the spiritual realm. Jupiter, the planet of bountiful fortune and good luck
rules Sagittarius. Jupiter promotes the spirit of generosity and optimism, and
encourages merriment and humor. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius. To know you
is to love you.
