Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and is Jupiter’s fiery sign that signifies expansion and extroversion. For people born in this sign, the sense of Dharma, ethics and virtues is extremely important.

The individuals born under the sign of Sagittarius follow conventions and uphold moral values always. They are warm and sympathetic towards others’ feelings and make them feel comfortable to seek advice from them. As Jupiter rules the sign, the traits of public speaking, teaching moral values comes naturally to them. Jupiter gives great intellect and this makes Sagittarians successful in their area of work – law, business/banking and teaching are the professions most suited to them.

Sagittarians are inclined towards sports, but may not always have the killer instinct to be competitive. They would do it rather for their own entertainment or amusement. They are always moving around, seeking new opportunities and may find it hard to be settled in one place or profession. Sagittarians make friends and followers very easily.

Sagittarius borns can be too critical or preachy and provide advice when not required. As they follow convention or rules, this trait if taken to extreme can lead to dogmatism.
