Sun in Sagittarius

The Sun in Sagittarius makes meaning the centre of the self. Purpose is found in the horizon — travel, study, belief, the long view — and in telling the truth as it sees it. Optimism is a discipline here, not naivety. The Sagittarius Sun overreaches, promises more than it delivers, and is forgiven because it meant it. The work is to give the enthusiasm a shape and to stay for the middle of the journey.
