Sagittarians are outspoken, sometimes to the point of bluntness. Usually, their zeal for the truth makes them blurt out just what they are thinking.

Sagittarians are noted for their friendliness, helpfulness, and subtle humor. They are good conversationalists and enjoy debating merely for the sake of debating. They have a real gift for making friends, and the typical Sagittarian can go anywhere in the world without ever feeling lonely, for they acquire friends along the route. They nearly always have the desire to travel. Their physical restlessness impels them to get out and go somewhere, even if it is only to the store and back. They are extremely independent, with a real need for personal freedom. This is why they are reluctant to get into total commitment situations and often shy away from marriage.

The Sagittarian may overlook small details, but their overall sense of planning is excellent. They have good memories. If disciplined, they are capable of great things.
