Sagittarius Compatibility
These people will find their best friends among Aries, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Libra people.
Sagittarius Faults
People born in this sign have a tendency to fly to pieces over a small matter. They are quick to
anger, but quickly get over it. They are combative, and determined to have their own way. As enemies
Sagittarius people go to extremes. They may forgive, and treat the one who has injured them with kindness, but they
do not forget. They are unreasonable in their desire to help those they love, and are zealous and overly optimistic
in whatever they undertake.
They are unwilling to wait for proper times and seasons, and desire to rush through every piece of work as soon
as it presents itself. An unfinished task is an intolerable affliction; therefore Sagittarius people, especially
Sagittarius women, are likely to sacrifice health and good nature in their determination to finish what they
commence.
This alertness and incessant industry can cause trouble in the family. Those born under less active signs cannot
see how it is possible for one to be forever busy. Sometimes these workers are very fond of their achievements and
are exceedingly unhappy and disappointed if their labors are not properly appreciated. The Sagittarius person who
has had no training in governing the faults of his sign, always aims, in his anger, at the vulnerable spot of his
enemy and is reasonably sure to hit it. Such a one, when angered, is very cruel.
These people expect too much of others. They are quick to observe, to plan, and to do, and they make small
allowance for those who are less gifted in such practical respects. Until they have learned the art of self-control
they are apt to be very exacting and domineering.
Sagittarius Dis-Eases
The dis-eases most likely to attack these people are weakness of the lungs, rheumatism, and stomach
troubles.
These ailments can be minimized by those who realize that mind is the master and body the servant of
mind.
Sagittarius Mode of Growth
As the lot of those born under this sign is to be misunderstood, it is best for them to have very few
confidential friends. They should cultivate calmness and repose, and think well and in silence before deciding any
important question. They should not be governed by impulse in any charitable work. They should strive to find their
reward for service in the unselfish motive, which prompted it, and expect neither gratitude nor appreciation from
any source but their own consciences. This is a hard battle, but blessed indeed are those who conquer it.
The bluntness of Sagittarius people is the cause of much unnecessary suffering to others, and they must not
excuse themselves because of the truth of their words. They should learn to be gentle in speech, and to give out
the truth with discrimination. They should teach themselves not only to forgive but also to forget ingratitude.
Ingratitude is often returned for unselfish service, but they should not be disheartened. They should do good to
all and pass on, realizing that God understands.
These people should be very careful in marrying, as serious troubles are apt to occur from uncongenial unions.
They despise all licentiousness, being naturally pure in thought and intention. Their demand for purity and
individuality in married life can often cause great inharmony. These people are all very strong and loyal in their
love relations, but when they are deceived or ill treated it is apt to embitter their future happiness. The women
may become silent and hopeless, while the men may resort to indulge in drink or reckless despondency. A
Sagittarius woman is apt to avenge an offered insult with a blow. The Archer never wastes the ammunition of words
upon such cases.
Sagittarius Children
Children born under this sign must be trusted and made companions of. They cannot be easily deceived, because
they know from within. It is easier by far to conquer a city than to restore to them a confidence once it has
been broken.
These children should be kept active by means of simple pursuits through most of the waking hours, and as far as
possible should be allowed to choose their occupations.
They are apt to be almost morbidly sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. They require a constant
expression of love from those who have the care of them and whom they love. They are grateful little creatures, and
will perform any service to win a loving caress or a word of praise. These children must be kept close to the
heart, or they grow unmanageable through their disappointment. They belong to the very inmost soul of things, and
coldness and indifference chill and destroy them.
These little ones are very fond of other children, and this love should be fostered by parents and guardians.
They show, early on, that they are not merely attracted by personality. They always show special attention for
the lame, the halt, the blind, and afflicted. A child with a dirty face is not obnoxious to the average
Sagittarius little one. The faces and hands can be washed, and this is what the young Archer usually proceeds to
do.
It is a great mistake for parents to interfere with this universal love and friendliness, for it is a rare, and
much-needed element in a world chiefly noted for harsh criticisms and devotion to personality.
The Cusp of Scorpio-Sagittarius, November 22 to 28
This is the point of energy and invincible determination. These natives learn equally by means of books and by
absorption. They are sometimes remarkable imitators, and having been properly trained are graceful in manner and
agreeable in speech.
The conscience of Sagittarius often has a hard tussle with the easier moral principles of Scorpio, but the
former influence generally conquers. When a man or woman on this cusp prefers a dissipated or impure life the
descent to Avernus is most rapid.
They are afraid of nothing. The Sagittarius men make good soldiers, and the best of lawyers and surgeons. The
word of the Sagittarius woman is law in her household, and disobedience is apt to be severely punished.
The love of approbation is very strong with these people, and the failure to receive what is considered their
due of praise and consideration has a marked effect upon their happiness. They are natural reservoirs of strength.
If this were not the case, it would be impossible to endure the strain that they voluntarily put upon themselves.
Patience and passivity are the hardest lessons for these brilliant and capable people to learn, and
notwithstanding their grand natural equipment they often work and fret themselves into an early grave.
This peculiar blending of water and fire sometimes produces a conflict of forces which ultimately ends in the
most disagreeable pessimism. They are apt to be very agreeable or exceedingly disagreeable.
