Sagittarians often complain to astrologers that they are misunderstood. Perhaps it is that their minds, if not their bodies, are so busy floating around the world (or the universe), that they fail to make contact with people in a meaningful way. Energetic and interesting, they seem to come from "another place". Brad Pitt is one example of a Sagittarian, whose constant changes of style, mood and direction confuse his family, friends and fans alike.

Sagittarius is the world traveler, often in both thought and deed. They do love to travel, and when that is not possible, they spend a great time on the Internet, or with their noses in books learning about other cultures and peoples. They are often found in the publishing industry as a result.

The sign's association with higher education also pulls a great number of Sagittarians into college and universities, both as students and as teachers. They are always pushing the boundaries, searching for new ways to explore their inner minds.  For this reason they are also drawn to new technologies, the Internet and computers.

Good natured, energetic, optimistic and loving, they tend to make interesting and exciting partners. They are also freedom-loving though, and don't like to be tied down. The Sagittarian lover is a challenge for anyone who is conservative or old-fashioned.
