When the Sun makes its’ journey through the sign of Sagittarius, the emphasis is on expansion, positivity and growth. Life is best seen as a journey, rather than a destination.
Along the way, Sagittarius brings the need to experience life as an adventure – to discover what is over the next horizon or how far one might go. To this end, those born under Sagittarius tend to love a challenge – finding ways to push past the pre-existing “envelope” and so broaden perspectives somehow.

SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT
Generally speaking, the Ascendant is the energy that the public beholds. We also look at the world through our Ascendant.
Those with a SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT, on the mundane level, views a world to explore. In soul-centered astrology, the Ascendant is indicative of the soul’s purpose in physical incarnation. The Sagittarius Ascendant indicates the Teacher, Minister, or One who benefits society. There is a love of freedom, travel, sports, and the outdoors. They have a good sense of humor & an optimistic approach to life. But there can be a great deal of restlessness, partly due to lack of organization and directed purpose.
SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT indicates a soul purpose of learning through experiencing many varied conditions in life and will usually seek out a varied and full life. The biblical story of Jacob is illustrative of a SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT: Light will come to him as he seeks the wisdom of his superconscious mind. And like Jacob, whose hip was weak, the Sagittarius Ascendant can be the “wounded healer.”
MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
In general terms, the MOON reveals the personality as it is displayed in our reactions to the events within our daily lives and it also reveals much that is hidden within our subconscious minds. On the soul-centered level, the MOON reveals habit patterns that must be overcome or transformed in order to advance in spiritual maturity. This struggle to overcome the negative tendencies revealed by the MOON is the “cross” we bear. The MOON reminds us of the negative habit patterns formed in prior incarnations that created the karma we brought into this lifetime.
Those with their MOON IN SAGITTARIUS indicate that soul growth will occur as the individual develops self-discipline and tactfulness in dealing with others. In prior lifetimes, the Sag has been too controlling of others, failing to listen and appreciate what others have had to say. He has projected blame for his difficulties onto others, refusing to look within for the root of the problem. They have neglected to seek the inner life, & develop their personal spirituality. Instead, they have allowed their restlessness to cause them to scatter their energies and accomplish little of lasting value. Those with MOON IN SAGITTARIUS, hold the potential for a spiritual approach to the world, indicating the natural teacher and one who is at home in front of the general public.
