PSYCHO/EMOTIONAL PATTERNS

Sagittarians are by nature expansive,
and therefore prone to overindulgence and extremism. They are essentially
'in their heads' (i.e. out
of touch with their feelings), and are not often found in therapy,
as they 'know everything' (they
are always telling you what you need) and are "fine,
thank you very much'. They are so optimistic that they are
often 'unreal' and prone to
'over-riding' themselves. They don't know when to stop or
when they've had enough. Therefore they are more likely to suffer
from "burn-out" than anything
else. If they also have a strongly placed Jupiter, they may suffer
from bi-polar or manic depressive types of states. This is due to
their extreme behaviour - they are either 'all
on' or 'all off'. They are apt to
'do a thing to death'.
Unlike Scorpio, the
previous sign, Sagittarius does not want to look too deeply into
the murky parts of life. They fire their arrows high and seem to
be able to overlook what is directly under their noses. In short
they can be 'in denial' about a lot of 'truths' in their lives and
yet it is 'the truth' which the Sagittarian strives for. This over-optimism
and over-riding is not conducive to intimate relationship either&
the Sagittarian has a roving eye and wants to keep his freedom.
Without wanting to kill off their wonderful
questing spirit, they do need to take a serious look at themselves
and their capacity for sustained effort, real honesty, and their
need to release misconceptions from their belief systems. They also
need to practise moderate behaviours, which allow for consistency
in relationship, before any real potential for deeper intimacy may
be achieved.
It is the Sagittarians' quest for knowledge,
truth and meaning in life which eventually leads them to themselves
and consciousness, and then they can make truly effective teachers
and imparters of wisdom. Until they explore themselves and embrace
their bodies and feelings as a reality, they are only mouthing platitudes
and knowledge from their 'heads'.
They can learn a lot from their Gemini opposite
by dealing more with the everyday world instead of preaching about
what should be done on a broad scale. A true teacher or writer is
one who understands him/herself, the diversity of the world and
their place in it, and can graciously give others the space to find
their own truth.
