If you are born between the 23^rd November and 2^nd December you are a true Sagittarian and will exhibit the traits mentioned here in full.  Always optimistic and ready for an adventure, life will be full of pleasure and unexpected good fortune.

If your birth date falls between 3^rd December and 12^th December fiery Mars and Aries as well as Sagittarius rule you.  You are a spicier and more hot-tempered class of Sagittarian and are always on the go but can also get yourself into hot water with your impulsive nature.  Physical by nature, sports will be an important component of keeping yourself stable and peaceful.T

The third group of Sagittarians born between the 13^th and 22^nd December are co-ruled by the Sun and Leo.  The majestic royal solar energies endow you with an incredibly strong sense of self and also the likelihood of tremendous success personally and financially.  You will also develop a more spiritual attitude,  

Nothing is going to get by you today — your mental abilities are sharp, and your physical energy is growing. This unbeatable combination is the perfect armor for whatever battle you enter today. Words designed to fool or trick you will have no effect. You can see right through any subterfuge. This would be a great day to shop for a new car — or any other big-ticket item that requires a great deal of negotiation or haggling.

Surely confronts you with the temptations of education journeys. If there is something to learn somewhere, you are quickly at place and you won’t leave out a single opportunity to travel. Your contact to fellow beings is, due to your knowledge and psychological understanding, rather missionary and manipulative, but always with well-meaning intention. You are popular in a certain way because you try to apply diplomacy and fairness. At all your optimism and all the generosity you spread out, it could come to the situation that other people take advantage of you, or that you misjudge fellow beings.

The world is filled with adventure, new things to experience, and, most of all, hope, with this Ascendant. There is an unmistakable faith and enthusiasm with Sagittarius rising people. Grand schemes, big promises, and a willingness to explore and experiment are themes, although follow-through is not a strong characteristic of Sagittarius. These individuals are somewhat restless and often active people. They always seem to be looking for something that is just out of grasp — and many do this their entire lives. They can be quite direct at times, yet they are likable enough to forgive for their faux-pas. Most have a lot to say and offer. Their insights and opinions are usually interesting and exciting, although sometimes lacking in details. Sagittarius rising people have opinions about everything, and they just love telling others exactly what they are. Not all people with this position are outgoing folk, but they all have a way of moving about that at least exudes a certain level of confidence. Some might even call them naive or overly optimistic. Even the quiet ones don’t shrink from life and from experience. One of the most obvious and endearing traits of Sagittarius rising is their willingness to keep up a sense of humor. Even when they’re feeling low, they manage to find humor in life and have fun with whatever they do have. The placement of Sagittarius’ ruling planet, Jupiter, will give more clues to how they go about expressing themselves. Jupiter in Capricorn, for example, might give a more sarcastic approach, but underneath there lies an unmistakable hope and spirit for living.

The winds of change are not about to let up just yet! With the arrival of 2012 comes yet another flurry of eclipse patterns to shake up your status quo. In June, the full Moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is the last of the series, bringing the final wave of a sea of oceanic changes you’ve weathered over the past few years. You’ve probably experienced dramatic endings or beginnings (or both) of important relationships and extensive personal transformations recently. Depending on where you find yourself at the start of the year, you can expect to experience the total other end of the emotional and relationship spectrum before 2012 is over.

Venus will grace your relationship sector for an extended stay this year (spring to summer), setting the tone for beauty and romance at the ideal time of the year for new love. You’ll welcome the amorous reprieve, because Mars and Jupiter will have kept you working hard most of the year. Plus, Jupiter will spend the first half of the year in your work sector, something that will bring glorious opportunities in your chosen field … but won’t leave much time for anything else. And with Mars firing up your career sector for the first six months of 2012, you’ll channel some serious energy in service of taking your career to the next level. By summer, you should be at the very top of your game. This is the year to get yourself on the map, Archer, so go for it!

In June, Jupiter will enter your relationship house, changing your focus from work to relationships. Saturn will depart from your social sector this October to give you back a real social life. When it moves on to your house of sleep and dreams in the fall, you’ll welcome the retreat after the constant work mode of the first half of the year. Be sure to push all your projects during the first nine months of 2012 - you’ll be ready for an extended vacation by the time October comes around!

Romantic

This is the year for finding an exceptionally harmonious match, or greatly improving your current one. In April, Venus will bring sweetness and light to your relationship sector for an extended period set to last until August. Due to a Venus retrograde period between May and June, the goddess of beauty and love will take up residence in your partnership arena for longer than normal. During Venus’s retrograde phase, keep an eye out for the return of old lovers. As tempting as it is may be go backward, just be aware that when Venus turns direct at the end of June, your feelings - or the situation itself - could change drastically.

Uranus will continue to tour your romance sector, causing a few interesting - and sometimes shocking - twists to the plot of your love life. But as long as you remain true to yourself, you’ll be fine. Use the erratic and unpredictable patterns of Uranus to attract someone who keeps you on your toes. You certainly won’t have to suffer through a boring or predictable love life by any means! In fact, you could find yourself attracted to some very eccentric personalities. If anything, you may be the one craving more freedom and distance in your romantic life at times, just to keep things interesting.

Jupiter will join Venus in your relationship sector in June to bring good fortune for finding someone both fabulous and generous. If you’re already hitched, this will feel like winning the lottery - you’ll want to celebrate your partnership as if you’re on a second honeymoon. From June until the end of the year, relationships feel blessed by the fates in every way. Even the crazy eclipse patterns due this spring and summer will have to comply with Jupiter’s expansive demands. Change is inevitable, but you can rest assured that you have luck on your side this time. Jupiter’s your go-to planet, and it always makes sure you get what you want!

Career

This is truly your year to shine in the big leagues, Sag! First, you have Jupiter using its luck and charm to open several new and fabulous doors - many perhaps abroad - for your work until June. Jupiter asks you to expand your talents and what’s possible with your work, and it’s an excellent time for attracting mentors and advisors that want to help you. Don’t be afraid to ask for any guidance or support you need.

Secondly, you have planet of action Mars powering your career sector for the entire first half of the year. Clearly the majority of your focus and energy will be pouring into professional pursuits until summer. Although Mars will be retrograde in your career house during the first four months, you’ll still be working hard … just more internally. This is the time to incubate new ideas and contemplate how to take your professional status to the next level. Come spring, you’ll be a serious force to be reckoned with!

Saturn will be applying its final, patient pressure on your sector of long-range goals until October, so three-quarters of your year will be spent fine-tuning your bigger aspirations. Have you recorded your five-, ten- and even twenty-year plan? If not, it’s time to get clear on where you’d like to be going. When Saturn moves on to your sleep and retreat sector in October, you’ll be less inclined to focus on any kind of agenda. The last part of the year will be spent in a more introspective state, during which you’ll rather pursue solitude than worldly success. It’s a natural reaction to all the hard work you’ve channeled into your career throughout the first half of the year.

Personal popularity soars this month, dear Sagittarius. Your independent spirit pushes up and out, and you enjoy plenty of scope for doing your own thing. Others take special interest in you. Enhancing your appearance in some manner serves to increase your confidence even further. Career and finances are especially strong, particularly on the 15-16 and 23-27. Even so, be careful that you don’t let runaway optimism lead you to take on more projects than you can handle, as you’ll likely feel the pressure in the last week of the month.
