sagittarius has some shining qualities: adventurous, charming, and far-sighted. followed by their shadow qualities: scattered, restless, and unreliable. they can be wildly uninhibited at times and this can come across as rudeness. their restless nature also means they are prone to carelessness and a scattered, unproductive approach to life. in relationships, commitment can be an issue.

sagittarians are drawn to careers that offer freedom, travel, and stimulation. whatever field they choose, the most important consideration is that it is challenging and provides and opportunity to learn new things.

they are open-hearted, generous, and big-spirited but they are always truthful. because of this, they may hurt others' feelings or may be called out for not having tact or empathy but with their keen imagination, sagittarius is adept at putting themselves in another person's shoes but they do not feel the need to beat around the bush or lie. it's easy to trust a sagittarius to tell you what they really think and they won't spill any secrets.
