SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, is known for its adventurous spirit, boundless optimism, and philosophical mind. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, Sagittarians are natural explorers—both of the physical world and of ideas. They value freedom, truth, and experiences that broaden their horizons, often seeking meaning through travel, education, or spiritual discovery. With their fiery energy and candid nature, they are often inspiring companions who speak their minds with enthusiasm and humor, though sometimes with a bluntness that can surprise others.
