November 22nd – December 21st

I am a big believer in the “yin-yang” dualism concept. Every person (every sign) has their good & bad parts and those things together make up who we are. It’s important that we recognize that we have two sides, so we best know how to control our behaviors and reactions.
It’s important to know…
All zodiac signs’ qualities will be different depending on their placement. While the Sun sign is the core of who we are and arguably the most important quality, looking into an individual’s other placements, such as Mercury or Venus will help us understand a person better.
While a Sagittarius Sun is what actually makes a person “a Sagittarius”, other placements in Sagittarius will have the same qualities in a more specific way.
For example: A Sagittarius Sun means the Sagittarius Zodiac Sign characteristics listed below would be the essence of who you are; your personality. But having a Sagittarius Mercury means you would demonstrate these qualities in your communication style. Or having a Sagittarius Venus would mean that the traits listed below would show in your love style.
Do you have an Sagittarius in your life?
