I am SAGITTARIUS: Explore me - Ruled by Jupiter

Roaming free upon the plains, wandering hither and yon this strapping young CENTAUR boldly goes where no man, er, horse has gone before. Or at least that’s the way our SAGITTARIAN friends imagine it. If she could have her way she would discover and immerse herself in every new culture, continent and galaxy available.

Endlessly fascinated by the places and people they have yet to meet, SAG’S are born explorers. It’s as if the world doesn’t really exist until they have turned over every rock, examined every leaf and poured themselves into every nook and cranny of it. They are born observers and commentators, and wherever you find groups of people gathered together, the CENTAUR will be drawn, as if by magnetic force, right into the center of the action. They are energetic to a fault, causing would-be traveling companions to drop like flies from exhaustion. Often you will find her in the center of the action, as, say, a professional athlete. But if injury or lack of athletic talent keeps him off the court, he’ll be commentating, making jokes and generally rousing the crowd to a state of enthusiastic fervor, or hysterical laughter. Oh yes, these people can be very, very funny.

As physically restless as the SAGITTARIUS usually is, he is equally restless mentally, seeking to engage and understand as many points of view and philosophy as can be crammed into one life span of experience. She may love to read, but she longs to go to the places she reads about, it’s only fear that holds her back. And it is always experience that the SAG native seeks out. You see, to some extent every last one of them feels like a Stranger in a Strange Land. And as such they do all they can to grok the local customs. It is in fact astonishing how many CENTAURS there are who move to a country other than the one they were born in, or who marry someone from a different culture than their own. Somehow they all feel like they didn’t quite fit into the mores and customs of their origins and so they strike out into the world to understand themselves and the place they came from. It is this kind of attitude that lands men and women on the moon, and teaches us new languages, cultural experiences and philosophies. Broadening horizons, for themselves, and everyone they have contact with is their secret purpose. Usually they disguise it very well under a magnanimous, JUPITERIAN smile, and an optimistic wave. Oh, they can be zealous, but you usually enjoy their company too much to take offense.

They are perhaps some of the luckiest people you know. Things just seem to fall into place for them. As he jaunts off into the sunset with barely two nickels to rub together you wonder what will ever become of the cockeyed, gawky lug, stumbling off into the sunset as he trips over his own oversized feet. And then 6 months, or 10 years later he returns with a Galleon filled with gold and raucous tales of adventure to share with you. But then that money disappears as easily as it arrived and he’s off into the sunset again. One might even get the feeling that to a CENTAUR, having a good story to tell is worth more than all the tea in China. And you would be right. These are our natural storytellers, and as such, often find themselves loved and revered for being so damned entertaining.

GEMINI, the natural compliment for SAG teaches them much about communication. You see people get annoyed when the Heroine of the story gallops off without a word. Ultimately, the philosopher in CENTAUR’S clothing learns to make an impact on people both hither and yon, by communicating with them, using words and sharing ideas. And then our Hero takes his place at the table as translator bringing ideas together to form something greater than before.

If you love one of these wandering adventurers, don’t even think about tying him or her down. Keep a bag packed at all times and get ready to explore the world. Get really good at telling jokes, and keep them chasing you. Make yourself unavailable, and exotic. Your CENTAUR will gladly play hide and seek with you over and over again, and exhaust you with the sheer athleticism of their lovemaking. Maybe you won’t have to play hide after all, maybe you’ll just need a break!
