Relations with other element signs

Fire signs are supposedly impatient with less extroverted people, especially earth signs, who they believe are extremely manipulative and will smother the fire of life. They are believed to resent the earth signs' slowness, plotting and preoccupation with detail, and hate the way they pin others down. They supposedly can be attracted to water signs' passion and intensity, but generally find water signs too secretive – in fact to the point of seeing the water signs' sensitivity as utterly dishonest and deliberately deceitful. They might envy the water signs' ability to summon strength from emotions rather than through effort, their general means of acquiring power. Air signs, on the other hand, are seen by the fire signs as able to provide them with concrete ideas to help them develop their ideals. Because air signs share their gregarious, extroverted quality, fire signs are comfortable with them. However, they supposedly do not have the patience to analyse as many possibilities as the air signs would like, so they supposedly act more quickly than air signs might wish.

Love

Like the other fire signs Sagittarius has a definite sense of passion and a love of physical connections but for them it becomes almost a spiritual experience...or another occasion to have 'fun'. The more exotic the local or the setting the more inspired a Sagittarian is and an inspired Sagittarian is the consummate lover. There's is the sense of a dare devil in them and they love walking on the risqué side...playing with rules and regulations usually just nudging the line rather than crossing it. They are attracted to far away places and intriguing sexual imagery and fantasy is an important component as Sagittarius needs to be inspired to inspire.


Mythology

In mythology Sagittarius is often associated with the mythological figure of Chiron, a centaur who taught and tutored various heroes in Greek myth. In Greek mythology, centaurs were adventurous, brave, and wise, but they were also given to brawling and uncivilized behavior. Sagittarius is also associated with the Greco-Roman god Zeus/Jupiter and sometimes the goddess Tyche/Fortuna, as well as the Norse god Thor.[citation needed]
