Sagittarius Zodiac Sign ♐

When does the zodiac sign Sagittarius begin and end?

The Sagittarius zodiac sign runs from 22 November to 21 December. During this period, the Sun, as seen from Earth, moves through the section of the zodiac assigned to Sagittarius. The sign before it is Scorpio, and the one that follows is Capricorn.

Born on a cusp day? The Sun's exact entry into a new sign shifts by a few hours from year to year. Anyone born on 21 November/22 November or on 21 December/22 December, on what is known as the “cusp”, may actually fall into the neighboring sign, depending on their birth year and time. The only way to be certain is an exact calculation using your date, time, and place of birth, for example in a personal Birth Chart Book.

What does the zodiac sign Sagittarius mean?

As a fire sign, Sagittarius represents drive, enthusiasm, and the urge for self-expression in astrology.

Sagittarius is traditionally ruled by Jupiter, the planet associated with growth, meaning, and trust. This makes Sagittarius an active sign: outwardly oriented and initiative-taking.

What qualities does astrology associate with Sagittarius?

Above all, these: in the astrological tradition, they are considered the defining tone of Sagittarius.

Important: these are traditional associations, not a fixed judgment about any person. They describe a tendency that can unfold, offered as an invitation to self-reflection, not as a prediction.

Is your sun sign the whole story?

No. Your star sign only tells you where the Sun was at the moment you were born, and that is something you share with one twelfth of the world's population. Where your Moon falls, which Ascendant was rising, and how the planets relate to one another, that is what makes you truly unique. A personal Birth Chart Book shows you exactly this complete picture: Sun, Moon, Ascendant, all the planets in their houses and the aspects between them, all in a book written solely about you.
