There are no ill or b*** hurt feelings.

Yes, we are all made up of different astrological make up but concentrating on the sun sign alone do you as a sag get accused of rudeness when you're just speaking your mind?

When someone asks us a question or opinion, we tell what we see with no intention of insulting the person.. often we don't understand why the person is hurt when they asked us what we thought.

As a sag, do people perceive you as too playful? Too serious?
Do you use humor to hide your hurts?

Come on sags! Let's support each other and celebrate our sign!

I always think... "If only I could find more Saggies." They seem to be few and far between, especially male Sags. I always see Sag celebrities and think to myself, "Wow, I feel as though we'd really get along." (i.e.: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Brad Pitt, JFK Jr., AJ Lamas, etc.) Too bad it's the rarest Sun sign in the northern hemisphere!

However, I wouldn't say all Sagittarians are exempt from this lack of a 'sensitivity chip' (as Jennifer Aniston so famously alluded to Brad Pitt); ironically, my mother, also a Sagittarius Sun/Mercury/Mars, is one of the foremost people in my life who reminds me "to be more tactful" on a daily basis. Peculiar for a Sagittarius, I know- but I attribute this more to her Moon/AC conjunction in Leo that's always so consumed with keeping up appearances.

I get along well Arians. They too, are direct and their anger is short - lived like a sag. We blow up (the big bang) and later cool again.

Fir me it's easier to relate to Aries. They share the same energy and sense of fun - that's for me personally.. maybe for others its different.

I have Earth equal to Fire in my chart and Water is not too far behind. So much of my expression is followed by observation and intuitive probing to connect with others. I find the moments I accidentally say something offensive a noticeable shift in the vibe happens. Then the Earth planets go back and weed through everything to figure out what the problem was. Following that is the 5 min I spend apologizing and reiterating my point in a less offensive way. I think having Jupiter opposed Mercury also makes communication a very particular process for me.

At one point a friend of mine pulled me aside, after observing a conversation between me and a person we both disliked. She laughed and asked, "You do realize that you just called that guy an a$$hole and he thanked you for it?".

The Sag always comes out eventually though, and when it does (and assuming I care) I take great pains to resolve and reiterate anything which was communicated poorly. The problem is less that I fear offending others however, and more that I loathe break downs in communication. I don't expect others to be able to understand me, so if communication fails, I generally expect I could have done something better to convey the message.

As for the comment on humor, I think it is a complex dynamic for Sagittarians. Yesterday I was questioned about Gemini's need to always be liked and I compared it to Sagittarian's need to always create an uplifting or optimistic environment. I added, "We do it because we enjoy causing happiness. Sadly, it is not for the sake of the person, but for the mere sake of causing happiness. This is why a Sag can make you feel elated and then wander off without a second thought. We're the damned Johnny Appleseed of chuckles".

Many people have a hard time understanding the sensitivity of Fire signs. This is probably due to the fact that Fire is a self centered element. It knows who it is, it appreciates who it is, and it burnishes it's flaws in the forage of self improvement. That causes it to be brilliant, and others flock to that brilliance for light and warmth. What people often overlook is the fact that Fire signs see harsh reality as if someone shined a spotlight on it. And we are charged to find the best in whatever we are handed. Aries rules a season when life must struggle to burst through the cold harshness of winter. The only sign equipped to face death and conquer it is Aries. Leo rules a season right after the summer solstice, when winter is on the horizon and life must bear its worth in order to insure a future for every species. Only the Lion is equipped to face the reality, that we enter and leave this world alone, but for one tiny moment we have the opportunity to make a difference. Sagittarius rules a season when the winter has finally come and death exists wherever you look. The only sign equipped to face the task of finding a spark of warmth in a world of darkness is the sign equipped to hunt for that spark.

Sagittarians are sensitive, because at some point in our life many of us were faced with harsh reality. Not just blah blah, you have to pay bills to live blah blah reality, but visceral existential crisis. Concepts like, "I am a tiny molecule in an infinite sea of "who knows what", who has arisen to exist for whatever reason, and will eventually die and be forced to contend with concepts like infinity, nihilism, divinity, etc.". That seed of truth burrows into our core and becomes a driving force. Sagittarius as an archetype, has his eyes toward the stars and that means a lot of stepping on toes and tripping over shoes. The archetype is not malicious, it is just busy thinking up ways to resolve issues like "How can we do and be the best "Whatever we are" possible?". The smaller issues like, why they forgot your name tend to pale in comparison. And don't get us wrong, we know people remembering your name is important to you, but you are a member of an overpopulated species of monkey, who believes printed paper indicates a person's worth, who sits in a car to go to work, sits at a desk and stares at a flashing screen for 10% of their life (just to collect more printed paper), sits in a car on the way home from work, sits on a couch to eat food with no nourishing properties, and stares at another flashing screen until you pass out. If you are feeling extra frisky, we can grab some more salt/sugar food, pop over to the movie theater, and sit together in front of a BIG flashing screen....Sorry, What was your name again?

A Sagittarius alone is often a different person than Sag out on the town and like Gemini, some of us will do whatever we can to avoid being alone or quiet. Those Saggis who do choose to stop and listen inward, tend to face very strong and sometimes devastating truths about self, reality, and existence. Ajaan Thanissaro uses a great analogy though, he says harsh experiences are similar to being shot with an arrow. But our habitual reaction when we are shot is to turn around and shoot our self with more arrows like fear, clinging, sorrow, anger, revenge, panic, etc. What started as a single problem, builds up into a great painful event. Sagittarian humor (on an archetypal level) is a commitment not to shoot one's self with any more arrows than the ones which life deals us. It is also an act of defiance which says, "In the face of ominous circumstances, I can choose to react in a positive or negative way, I choose to react positively".

I instantly fell in love with a Sag guy I met for a few nights though. He was BLUNT, or came off that way. Loved it. I didn't have to guess, I "got" him, we had a great time together. But he messed up, because him and I were the ones flirting all night and then he had to go tell me how sexy my friend looked. HMPH. My Taurus moon did NOT like that.
