Sagittarius

About Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, linked in tradition to travel, philosophy and the search for meaning. The archer aiming at the horizon captures its love of freedom and far horizons. Its season closes autumn.

Sagittarius traits

As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius is often described with these strengths and challenges. Astrology is a tradition, not a science, so read this as a character sketch rather than a prediction.

Sagittarius dates and cusps

Sagittarius runs from November 22 to December 21. Because the sun does not cross the sign boundaries at exactly the same clock time each year, the first and last dates can shift by a day. If your birthday sits right on the edge, the birth profile tool will show the sign for your exact date. Sagittarius falls in November and December.

Sagittarius birthstone and colours

The traditional Sagittarius birthstone is Turquoise, and the sign's lucky colours are Purple and Deep blue. These pair naturally with Sagittarius in jewellery or a birth profile card.

Sagittarius compatibility

Sagittarius tends to match most easily with Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius. These are the classic element-based matches. See how Sagittarius pairs with any sign on the compatibility pages.
