For Sagittarius, the world is a place that invites adventure, traveling roads and setting rules. Justice holds a central place, though they may tend to define what is fair from their own point of view. They are interested in philosophy, great ideals and the possibility of imagining a better world.
The most stimulating things are usually outside the home. Home is the place they return to in order to rest, be looked after and regain strength before another adventure. They need to know they keep the freedom to go out galloping and discover new territories.
At the same time, it matters to them to know the norms that organize their relationships. I use the image of the horse and rider for this profile: it holds both the desire to move forward freely and the need for guidance and clear limits. They may want to set the rules and, at the same time, value the other person holding to their own.
If they receive a promise, they count on it being kept. It can be hard for them to understand a broken agreement, and explanations do not always repair their hurt right away.
They know how to work in a team and like to define the group’s rules. In a couple, clarity helps, as long as the relationship does not end up tangled in a law for every detail of life.
How to win their heart
The metaphor of the expert rider combines affection and firmness. Indulge your partner and, at the same time, keep your agreements clear. It is not a matter of steering another person as if they had no will of their own, but of not losing your position in the face of their changes of mood or of mind.
Sagittarius usually enjoys both proposing rules and learning the ones the other person considers necessary. Keep your promises and talk about difficulties before they turn into broken commitments. Sharing their love of traveling and exploring can be another path to meeting.
