Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius is intense, searching, and willing to put their mind, body, and soul in pursuit of a spiritual truth. Sagittarius wants to experience spirituality, and fasting, meditating, and singing can all help them be in closer touch with their spirituality. A Sagittarius always wants to believe and find a higher power, but that higher power may or may not be one they are introduced to at an early age, via church or organized religion. A Sagittarius may try a few different religions, or find that their “religion” is going on hikes outside. A Sagittarius wants to live a moral life, and to that end, may read a lot of books by spiritual leaders, committing certain quotes and phrases to memory.
A Sagittarius is often seen as a moral leader, and is looked to in work and at home as an example of the “right” thing to do. A Sagittarius is always honest, and believes dishonesty is one of the worst ways you can hurt a person. A Sagittarius wants to have a life of honesty, respect, and trust, and espouses these values, no matter what they believe.

Element
People with an emphasis on the fire element tend to be outgoing, inspirational and ‘fiery’. When expressed well these people often are an inspiration to others, are quite moral and can be very creative. If the person has difficulty expressing or experiencing the more enjoyable aspects of the fire element they may become selfish, risk-takers and/or inclined to give in to their passions too easily. A lack of representation of this element can indicate a lack of initiative, inspiration and difficulty in becoming inspired.

Chakra
Sagittarius is an overly impetuous and passionate being in absolutely every aspect of their life. This means that, when it comes to identifying the main Chakra, the guidelines are very well defined, especially considering that these Fire signs are guided by impulses. So, does Svadhisthana ring any bells to you, the Sacral Chakra? This is the Chakra in charge of nurturing your spiritual side, Sagittarius!
Svadhisthana literally means “one’s own home”, and is related to the sense of taste and focuses on reproduction and sexuality. It also attracts harmony and acceptance to our lives, and manages to establish a perfect balance between creative instincts and sexual impulses. The Sacral Chakra is also in charge of the creative reproduction of the essence, and the color that governs it is orange.
Traditional Gemstone
Blue Topaz is the blue variety of the mineral topaz, a fluosilicate of alumnium containing fluorine and hydroxyl in varying amounts. Topaz crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, with crystals often prismatic and striated in the direction of its length. Crystals are generally only terminated on one end due to basal cleavage. Topaz is ofter found in alluvial deposits as water-worn pebbles. Blue topaz is sometimes irradiated to impart the color, and the darker blues are rarely seen anymore due to the presence of radioactivity.
Spiritual uses of the heavenly blue of the topaz helps you tap into higher realms of awareness o channel. Divine wisdom and knowledge. Use it to connect with your guides, angels, and loved ones on the Other Side. This stone promotes a two-way conversation so you not only talk to the angels buy you also hear and listen to the messages of the Divine. This is a perfect stone for a mystic.
Emotional Uses: Blue topaz calms the emotions, increasing awareness of your feelings. Its blue energy promotes peaceful vibes when you are feeling angry and frustrated. Since blue is the complementary color for orange, this stone calms inflamed issues related to your naval chakra, helping you express yourself with grace instead of rage. It is a useful tool for journaling your feelings.
“I am on a path of destiny.”
Zodiac Flower
Like a carnation, those born under the sign of Sagittarius are strong, yet beautiful. With Sagittarius’ being known for their love of love, it makes sense that these zodiac flowers are paired with one of the most commonly chosen wedding flowers! Carnations are a symbol of love because they are often the most long-lasting flowers in a bouquet. Sagittarius’s are a fire sign, known for their adventurousness, just as a carnation blooms in branched or forked clusters. The fire sign does not like being tamed and will always carry an open mind in their endeavors.
Essential Oil
Energetic, curious, and adventurous, you love to travel and experience different cultures. You have a great sense of humor and an open mind, and you’re very goal-oriented. The best oil for you is Blood Orange. Its bright, crisp, fresh aroma helps bring feelings of joy and can help uplift your mood so you can cheerfully embark on your next adventure.

Sagittarius, the ninth sign in the zodiac, belongs to those born between the dates of November 23 and december 21st. Learn all about the Sagittarius sign below.
Sagittarius Zodiac Sign
Independent and strong-willed, Sagittarius personalities are all about going off the beaten path. Sagittarius isn’t afraid to step away from the pack, and is a natural born leader who goes after what he or she wants, regardless of what other people think. Sagittarius is a born adventurer, and loves solo travel and exploration. Sagittarius also loves exploring the inner workings of their minds, and love stretching their horizons through a good book or movie.
Sagittarius is open-hearted, generous, and big-spirited, but Sagittarius is always truthful. Because of this, they may hurt others’ feelings, or may be called out for not having tact or empathy. The latter is not true. With their keen imagination, Sagittarius is adept at putting themselves in another person’s shoes—that’s why so many Sagittarius are successful actors—but they do not feel the need to beat around the bush or lie. You can trust a Sagittarius to tell you what they really think. You can also trust a Sagittarius, period. Unlike other signs, they won’t spill any secrets.
In bed and in relationships, Sags are adventurous and giving, able to adeptly try new things or break down barriers. In bed, Sags love trying new positions, new toys, and making everything an adventure. Yes to the lights on; yes to lovemaking outside. In relationships, Sags will be honest and true to themselves, and that may mean that they will move on from a relationship. If it’s not working, it’s not working, and a Sagittarius won’t stay for the sake of another person’s feelings. A Sagittarius will always be honest and in check with their emotions, and a Sagittarius will not engage in emotional blackmail.
Sagittarius is a steadfast friend and a creative thinker; a great person to have on a work team, as they have infectious energy and enthusiasm. They aren’t looking for constant feedback, and can take a project and run with it. A Sag can also be an adept entrepreneur or CEO. A Sagittarius is smart, capable, and a true trailblazer.
"Towering genius disdains a beaten path."
Sagittarius Greatest Gifts
Sagittarius is adept at blazing their own paths, and can always go it alone. Sagittarius doesn’t need a roadmap, and can easily conceptualize ideas and opportunities that others may not easily “see.” Sagittarius doesn’t need permission or approval, and has a strong sense of self that allows them to always feel sure-footed, even where others may be unsure or insecure.
Sagittarius Greatest Challenges
Sagittarius can sometimes be far too blunt, and put their own needs above others. You don’t need to veer from your values, but sometimes, a white lie saves all. It can also be helpful to be part of the pack now and then. Sagittarius is so good at doing things independently, but sometimes it can be faster, smarter, and more fun to do things as part of a group.
Sagittarius Secret Weapon
Their independence. Sags don’t need other people’s approval, opinions, or advice. A Sag loves hanging out with herself, and feels like doing things solo can only help her connect more to her deepest self. Sagittarius uses solo time as a much-needed reboot. While an hour stuck in traffic during a car commute could be untenable to anyone else, to a Sag it’s a form of self care.
Sagittarius Power Colors
Intuitive, idealistic, honest, and accepting of all different cultures and belief systems, Sagittarius presents a calm, cool, collected demeanor, with a fiery intensity underneath. The best colors speak to both the Sagittarius stoicism as well as the passion that comes from the fire that influences this sign. To that point, here are the best colors for Sagittarius.
Light blue: Like the oceans Sagittarius wants to explore, a light blue is deceptive: Calm on the surface, it hides many mysteries just underneath—just like Sagittarius!
Purple: Sagittarius loves standing out in a crowd, and this royal-inspired color is a great way for them to be noticed.
Red: A fire sign, Sagittarius can’t resist red. Orange is great, too — notice-me colors that pack a punch and make a statement without a Sag saying a word.
Black: Depressing for some, but not for optimistic Sags, who tend to use black as an anchor shade, allowing their personality to shine.
The colors that Sagittarius should avoid are:
Green: This earth tone is so mutable and makes Sagittarius fade into the background. Sagittarius is more drawn to watery or fiery shades.
Gray: For Sags, it’s all black and white. Gray belies the inner beliefs of Sagittarius, who truly think there is a right and a wrong answer to everything.
White: This color feels too pure for gritty Sags, who like getting down and dirty. It’s not as though Sags aren’t “pure,”—it’s just that white feels far too clean and elevated to fit into the realistic worldview of a Sagittarius.
“How does this benefit my world?”
Awakening the Inner Sagittarius Owl
While the symbol of Sagittarius is the Archer, in Native American tradition, the dates of Sagittarius align with the owl. Here, how Sagittarius can align with their inner owl for a life that’s even more intelligent and intuitive.
Take a solo trip: Even if you’re in a committed partnership, Sags love having independence, and regularly spending solo time with themselves is a key way for Sags to become stronger, smarter, and feel better.
Read a book: Smart Sags should get in the habit of reading a book or newspaper (scrolling through Facebook doesn’t count!) every day.
Watch and listen: Sags thrive in the spotlight, but they also do well watching on the sidelines, and always learn lessons from seeing how others live their lives.
Teach: Even if it’s not their profession, Sags gravitate toward teaching and mentorship, and finding somewhere to do this can make Sags feel even smarter in their own lives, too.
All of the above are especially powerful in a month that manifests a full moon in Sagittarius!
Sagittarius Karma Boosters
Every sign has to deal with unfinished business. For Sagittarius, it’s learning to consider other people’s feelings. Yes, a white lie may not be “true,” but it may be far better than the alternative. Sagittarius may find themselves putting their foot in their mouth more than they’d like, but these karma boosters can help them smooth over any rough spots with friends or family.
- Give a compliment. You look nice. That was a thoughtful comment. The more you get used to saying compliments, the better, Sags.
- Go along with someone else’s idea. Yeah, the Italian joint your friend suggested may not be the best you’ve had—but could you pretend it is, just once?
- Let someone cry. You don’t love seeing emotion and may want to “fix” things. Just let yourself witness someone else’s feelings. That wasn’t so bad!
- Volunteer with a charity. Sags can sometimes become stuck in their own heads, aware of what “should” change, but not necessarily taking the steps to make the change happen. Be the change you want to see in the world and get your hands dirty!
- Invite others with you. Sags love to go it alone, but sometimes, the best way to experience life is to invite others along for the ride. They might be slower than you’re used to, or you may have to stop somewhere you hadn’t meant, but bringing someone else on a journey is the smartest thing Sags can do!
