Strengths

What Sagittarius does best

You see the big picture, you make people laugh, and you believe things will work out. That belief often helps them work out.

Challenges

Where it trips up

You promise more than your calendar allows. You can be honest without tact, and you may leave when things get serious.

Love

Sagittarius in love

You want a partner for adventures. You need freedom, honesty and someone who wants to grow, not someone who wants to keep you.

Work

Sagittarius at work

You do well in teaching, travel, publishing and sales, in any job with a mission. Work with someone who enjoys the details.
