WESTERN
Western Astrology has originating roots at least as far back as Babylonia and is historically
based on Ptolemy’s work, the “Tetrabiblos”, from the 2nd century. This system of assessing
the cosmos has been practiced for thousands of years in Arabia and Europe. Western
Astrology uses the “tropical” ecliptic coordinate system, and thus the constellations are
based on the path of the Sun as seen from Earth. The constellation where the Sun was
located at your birth conveys the encodings that drive your will and personality.

Sun in Sagittarius
The Basics
Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the 12sign 360º Zodiac (the band of
constellations as seen from earth).
Thus, Sagittarius represents the ninth
stage or cycle of life: it is here to
adventure enthusiastically into new
and higher realms of knowledge.
Sagittarius is one of four signs that is
“mutable” in nature (not “cardinal or
“fixed”): thus, you as Sagittarius
embody mutable functionality.
Sagittarius is one of three signs that imbues the qualities of the element of “fire”: thus, you as
Sagittarius embody the characteristics of fire.
About your Mutable nature: (from Astrologer Susan Miller) “The Mutable signs prepare for change
into the next season. This makes the people of this group highly adaptable, flexible and
communicative. Throw a curve to a Mutable sign and they can turn on a dime, coming up with
solutions faster than you can bat an eye. Mutable signs are restless and embrace change. They
are the most resourceful of all the signs, and thus, they make much from little. They are highly
detail-oriented, but should take care not to get so wound up in tiny particulars that they lose sight
of the whole.”
About your Sagittarius encoding: Ruled by Jupiter, which is our massive gaseous planet
representing growth and expansion, Sagittarius is here to extend itself and evolve through
adventure of mind and soul. There is an inherent thirst within that seeks new knowledge.
With Sagittarius embodied, you contain the qualities and patterns of curiosity, willingness,
adventurousness, optimism, vivaciousness, and enthusiasm. Your interests lean toward broader
topics and philosophical areas, and your tendency is with freedom – you need it and seek it. Your
nature as Sagittarius is expressive, honest, and encouraging. And, at your core, you contain a
pervasive positivity that, when allowed to flow, naturally and easily attracts positivity into your
reality.

The growth edges (your spiritual lessons) with this embodiment are about evolving balance and
communication. As Sagittarius, your enthusiastic adventurous nature is influenced by an excitable
spontaneity: growing this so that it includes mindfulness and consideration, while still maintaining
your honest vibrant expression, is a theme for you. As Sagittarius, there is also an inherent tendency
for changeability and moodiness, so balance is called for in this area as well. Another lesson for
you will be to temper the directness of your honest communications to reflect a more sensitive and
graceful consideration of others.
When the whole of these qualities and patterns are recognized, accepted and allowed to
express and evolve naturally, you are optimally aligned with your intrinsic authentic
nature. The evolutionary desire of your soul is to live its freedom fully and adventurously,
and then teach others to be a free spirit.
Sagittarius Affirmation from Astrologer Elizabeth Jones
I trust life and know that I am a part of it.
I am open to renewal by allowing old beliefs to fall away.
I connect to the vastness of my being and the spaciousness of my mind.
I am unlimited and free and allow others their freedom.
