Can I just address how wrong people are about Sagittarians? (As someone who is one and has more than my fair share of Sagittarius friends and acquaintances)
• We are not Tarzans. Wild adventures are NOT everything to us. We are NOT always swaying off branches or jumping off cliffs and airplanes.
• Most of us, however, do enjoy the idea of travelling and exploring different cities and cultures to know more about the world and to admire more of it.
• We do enjoy venturing into the unknown but we are NOT Indiana fucking Jones. ADVENTURING IS NOT OUR ONLY JOB (or a job at all for that matter).
• WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF COMMITMENT. While it is true that most of us roll with the attitude “I’m here for a good time; not a long time,” some of us are actually very ok with committing as long as we’re sure we’ve invested ourselves in something we know will not disappoint us or hurt us.
• We carry the philosophy that life is too large and we never know enough about what’s out there, so exploring different choices and possibilities IS important to us. HOWEVER, if we have found the right person according to us and if they have completely won our trust, it is a ‘go’ for commitment.
• It may shock you that sometimes we tend to overcommit especially when it comes to work, plans and responsibilities. We spread ourselves too thin because we want to do everything and not let anyone down but end up exhausting ourselves. EVEN THEN, a Sagittarius will almost never back away from a promise or commitment. It will be done to perfection.
• It is true that we are extremely touchy and sensitive about our independence, personal space and freedom to be our authentic selves and explore life without any limitation. We do despise bossy or authoritative individuals BUT we are NOT incapable of following rules and authority. Sometimes we just know there is a different or better way to do things and prefer to do things our own way.
• Most of us are ‘big picture’ individuals. We don’t have time for petty nonsense or trouble, and we are ALWAYS planning ahead even though most of our closest people may also not know about it. We may come off as impulsive and (too) quick to make decisions but those who know us will learn to view that as spontaneity and know that we’ve thought of every random possibility in a given situation way ahead of time.
• The other (more negative) half of Sagittarians is even opportunistic and conniving. They will even create the drama if it serves them and they will find ways to cut you if you get in their way. Either way, Sagittarians are go-getters.
• We DO struggle to apologise or cede in an argument. This is because we are objectively right almost all the time but the times we’re wrong: we DO know it well before you have to even finish explaining your point but we’re just a little too stubborn to apologise. It IS a bit of an ego issue :P.
• You CANNOT get them to lose their cool if you’re “that bitch”. We are INDEED human lie detectors and can call bullshit from a mile away. We will very coolly destroy you with facts and truth and that will be enough to put you in your place. In other circumstances, we get angry very rarely but the rare times we do, we rage in an outburst and calm down just as quickly. We don’t hold grudges.
• Sagittarians will be your most generous, trustworthy, honest and loyal friends (if they like you). They have the biggest heart in the room and will go out of their way for people they’ve even just met because they know kindness never costs and will be returned another day, another way. They’re all about the chill and good vibes until someone rubs them the wrong way. In that case, they won’t hate on you but you will just cease to exist for them. Very nonchalant, “very demure”.
• We are way more emotional than we let on. To the outside world, we are a good mix of head and heart BUT only those closest to us know how in our heads we are about the things we care about too deeply. At the end of the day we are passionate, genuine, spiritual, intuitive and soulful people, and little wild and out there.
THANK YOU for listening to my ted talk I really had to get this out because of the shitty old stereotypes around us.
