Haste / Impatience

No matter what the circumstances may be, these individuals know how to stay happy. They are not only pleased with their own accomplishments, but they also express joy over the success of others. They rarely feel envy, which is why they often keep encouraging others. They stay cheerful themselves and wish to see others happy as well. They have heartfelt sympathy for the grieving and the deserving. In fact, they want to see every human being happy and flourishing.

Humor is part of their nature. They often keep others laughing with their pleasant remarks. They know the art of turning gatherings into blooming gardens of laughter. They satirize others in a very refined manner. Because of this disposition, they also become good cartoonists, painters, and columnists.

These individuals, as such, display many shades in their life. For instance, they can be emotional as well as cheerful, but these are all temporary shades. Their true shade is their wisdom. Due to their intelligence, they lead a successful life. Their decisions are very sound. Most people are convinced of their intellect and continually seek advice from them. They guide others with great generosity and sincerity. They do not harbor malice or grudges. Whatever is in their heart, they bring it to their tongue. Many people become alienated from them because of this habit.

Emotions often overpower these individuals; for example, they might get overwhelmed by anger or adopt an extremely pleasant mood. Seeing someone sorrowful makes them sorrowful, and they start laughing with those who are laughing. Alongside all these temporary feelings, there is a stability in their emotions. They believe in taking steps with great deliberation. They do not make decisions driven by impulse. If provoked, they may get enraged instantly, but they quickly regain control over themselves. They neither play with anyone's emotions nor allow anyone to play with theirs.

Contemplation is inherent in their nature. They often begin to ponder trivial matters that other people overlook. For example, at times they might be staring at an empty table; an observer might feel as though they are wasting time looking at the table, whereas in reality they are thinking about how that table was made—how a sapling was planted, then grew into a mighty tree, and was cut down to make this table. In this regard, they are also thinking about countless other details. Due to deep contemplation, they gain numerous benefits. For instance, they acquire greater practical insight, and better results emerge before them in other matters. They do not have much interest in superficial thinkers. They value and befriend people who think deeply like them. Conversing with such individuals gives them great satisfaction.

Staying in one place is quite difficult for these individuals. They are constantly searching for their next destination. If they stay in one place, boredom engulfs them like a torment. Growing weary, they move forward. They cannot stay settled in one place doing a job. If they do business, they keep expanding it. After one venture, they also try their hand at another. They get tired of living in the same house, so if it is within their power, they change houses as well. Similarly, they keep changing shoes, watches, cars, and the like. If changing home and office is not possible, they definitely keep altering the arrangement and decoration. These people also love travel and tourism, and they frequently go to different places for sightseeing and recreation.

These are very courageous people. They confront all kinds of difficult circumstances head-on. They detest failure, which is why they continually strive for success. Once they resolve to do something, they advance with iron determination, breaking down every obstacle that comes in their path. They surge forward like a tempest and a storm.

These are the kind of people who dislike lying, yet among them are also those who frequently resort to exaggeration. They do this out of expediency. If there is a compelling need, they will tell a lie; otherwise, they mostly say things based on falsehood just to entertain people. They thoroughly enjoy such tales themselves as well.

They often satirize others and joke around a lot. They are not bad at heart, so in their satire and jokes, they try not to hurt anyone's feelings; however, toward people they dislike, they use sarcasm that can indeed cause heartbreak. At that moment, they are extinguishing the fire of revenge and enmity within themselves. Aside from this, because of their sense of humor, whatever joke or satire they make always has an element that brings laughter and joy.

Their candidness often leads to them being accused of being blunt. Whatever is in their hearts, they bring to their tongues. Since truth tastes bitter to most people, they get upset with them, and in this regard, bitter arguments and quarrels occasionally break out. Because Sagittarians are not afraid of conflicts, many quarrels even take on a serious nature. Despite all such incidents, these individuals do not abandon their habit of plain speaking. It is very difficult for them to keep inside what is in their heart and utter words contrary to it.

This is part of the nature of Sagittarians, and we can call it either their psychological virtue or their dilemma: these people possess an immense sense of responsibility. Just understand it like this: much as thirst cannot be quenched without drinking water, they find no peace until they have fulfilled their obligation. They recognize their responsibilities well and fulfill them no matter what. An example of this is that if they have promised to meet someone early the next morning, they will toss and turn restlessly all night long, repeatedly checking the watch to see what time it is, and constantly glancing at the window and ventilator to check if morning has arrived. In this regard, they will set an alarm on their watch and also ask someone in the house to wake them up early in the morning; nevertheless, they remain anxious themselves, and as soon as the dawn breaks, they will sit right up. From this single example, one can gauge the profound sense of responsibility these people possess.

These people appear to be very self-confident and tempestuous on the outside, but in many matters they exhibit shyness. Shyness is also a part of their nature. People are surprised when they see them like this because these are the very individuals who, just a moment ago, were talking about tearing the world apart, yet then shyness overtakes them. Even so, it should not be assumed that they lack confidence or that they cannot do anything because they are shy. Shyness comes over them for just a short while and fades away, and their true state returns. Often, if they are in the grip of shyness and an incident occurs where their natural confidence is called for, they possess the ability to dispel their shyness and appear resolute and confident. They then become ready to take on great tasks, leaving people astonished once again as to where their shyness has vanished.

Love and romance have been both a human instinct and a necessity since time immemorial. Just as other people hold their own viewpoint on this matter, Sagittarians likewise have their own perspective. In this regard, these individuals are quite enthusiastic. If they fall in love with someone, they begin to speak of plucking stars for them, and whoever catches their favor, they wish to make their life partner. They go to great lengths and endure immense hardships to win that person's approval. In matters of love, they believe in sincerity and fidelity. They demonstrate steadfast loyalty and expect faithfulness from their partner in return. If they are deceived, they become enraged. If there is room for forbearance and forgiveness, they embrace it; otherwise, they are capable of retaliating or opting for separation. Under normal circumstances, they rarely encounter infidelity because they scrutinize thoroughly whomever they fall in love with. Only when someone fully measures up to their standards do they take the relationship forward. If at any point they get even the slightest sense that the person they have chosen for love and romance does not meet their standards for any reason, they consider it better to end ties with them. Their outlook is that if someone cannot walk alongside them, cannot understand them, or stands opposed to their mindset, spending a lifetime with such a person equates to bringing trouble upon themselves. Sagittarian men are very cautious in matters of love. They may experience attraction toward multiple women and put them to the test. They test one woman, and if she does not measure up to their criteria, they choose another. Their testing takes place in a very subtle, unobtrusive manner. They never let their beloved realize that she is being evaluated. If she fails to satisfy their standards for any reason, they turn toward someone else, and if that person too does not qualify, they lean toward yet another. Sagittarian women also possess their own distinctive style of love and romance; they too are quite cautious in this sphere, yet it is their habit to look predominantly at the brighter side of things in most matters while overlooking the darker side. This disposition persists in matters of love and affection as well. They often overlook many shortcomings and flaws in their beloved, reasoning that, after all, he possesses so many virtues too. However, this does not mean that they overlook every single mistake and defect of the beloved. If they realize that becoming their life partner will create complications for them and lead to an unhappy life, they prefer ending the matter rather than letting it escalate. Yet when someone genuinely measures up to their standards, they do not hesitate to make even the greatest sacrifices for him. When Sagittarian women become wives, they prove to be remarkably faithful and well-organized. They take a keen interest in domestic affairs. They keep the home adorned and well-maintained. They remain mindful of the husband's needs and emotions. In spite of all this, because they are freedom-loving by nature, their wish is that the husband does not impose needless restrictions upon them. If any such curb is placed on them, they do not accept it. If the husband applies pressure, they try to reason with him lovingly; at this stage, matters often risk deteriorating because if the husband grows stubborn, they too become headstrong. The husband's stance is usually that she mingles too freely with outsiders, whereas these women maintain that this carries no element of disloyalty—they socialize and converse with everyone merely out of ordinary social courtesies. In this manner, arguments often escalate, which can yield any outcome. For example, the woman might compromise and accept the husband's terms, or both parties might stubbornly hold their ground, souring the home atmosphere and escalating into a severe conflict whose ultimate end could even be separation. Beyond love and romance, these women maintain tremendous balance in other affairs of life as well. They know how to confront difficulties head-on. If they meet with failure in any task, they do not lose heart; rather, they grow even more resolute and strive to convert that setback into success. They do not rest until they have achieved victory. They harbor a profound attachment to their domestic life. For this reason, they continually take diverse steps toward the betterment of the household. If a difficult period befalls the husband, they stand firmly by his side. They keep the husband's income and struggles in view. If his earnings are modest, they do not burden him with demands; if the household circumstances worsen significantly, they assist the husband by taking up a job or working from home. Regarding children, they are exceptionally sensitive. They handle their children's upbringing, education, and grooming with immense care. Their aspiration is for their children to remain prosperous and successful at every stage of life, growing up to attain exalted stations.
