You set your own pace, you set your own goals, but sometimes you don’t realize that because you’re in such a hurry, it seems like destiny has done it for you. The trick, and the magic, for you is to realize that you have created those goals—and you can set the pace for them.
Love is a joy and a challenge; understanding another is an endless puzzle
As an expansive fire sign and a Sagittarius, you hate regretting what you didn’t do, so you try to fit everything you can into any day, any week, or any month—or even any year. While this means you’re able to get an amazing amount done, you can be overwhelmed, if not driven crazy by tasks and obligations that pile up. Worse, those obligations are even more overwhelming because you set them for yourself. Of course, when you did, you were confident you had time to fit those tasks in, along with everything else.
The trick? Borrow a characteristic from your neighboring sign, Capricorn, which is a practical earth sign. That may seem dull to you, as a fire sign, yet the exhaustion you feel and the disappointment you experience when you have no time to do what you intend, or to do it properly, isn’t worth it.
This is important because your life is about making new friends and encountering people. And if you don’t have time to spend with them, then you won’t get to know them and deepen that early acquaintanceship into something lasting. This slower pace probably won’t come naturally to you as a fire sign and as a Sagittarius, but once you learn that skill, and do it from time to time, it will add enormously to your life, day by day, week by week, and month by month.
Core to your life are family and friends: people you have been with a long time. But ironically, when you meet new people and don’t have time to get to know them, it’s difficult to have that feeling of closeness, of trust and intimacy. Regard the time you spend with them as an investment in friendships and in your future.
Sometimes you get so involved in what you’re doing that you regard even going to sleep as a failure. While you’re not conscious of that, it does happen and it means you’re unable to enjoy all of life because you are exhausted. The trick, of course, is to fall asleep before you collapse in a heap.
You set your own pace, you set your own goals, but sometimes you don’t realize that because you’re in such a hurry, it seems like destiny has done it for you. The trick, and the magic, for you is to realize that you have created those goals—and you can set the pace for them.
There is a difference between a possible solution for a problem—and you have lots of those—and the kind of solution you can be sure will last. At the moment, nothing quite fits. While others are impatient, your instincts tell you it is vital that you wait until more worthwhile ideas surface.

Ruler: Jupiter
Symbol: The Archer
Element: Fire
Flower: Dandelion
Being half horse, half human—and what’s more, an archer—it’s no surprise you Sagittarians are restless. The third fire sign, you thrive on new ideas, action, and challenges, and suffer when life is too predictable. While you’re risk-takers, you’ve an instinctive sense that comes from your ruling planet, the fortunate Jupiter. Dandelion is your flower, sharp cinnamon is your herb, and the yew is your tree. Your stone is gold topaz.
