Meet Sagittarius, the philosophical archer: Exploring the Zodiac sign's personality traits
The cold weather shifts aren't the only seasonal change that arrives in November. The latter half of the month also ushers in one of the Zodiac's most curious characters. Symbolized by the archer, Sagittarius is the ninth Zodiac sign.
One of three fire signs, Sagittarius is known for a unique set of fiery traits. Those born under Sagittarius are adventurous and free-spirited, constantly seeking travel and change. But their carefree nature isn't without fault.
Aliza Kelly, celebrity astrologer and author, dishes on the sign's key traits, plus their approach to relationships, career and more.

Sagittarius personality, traits
According to Kelly, Sagittariuses are known to be curious, adventurous, philosophical and funny.
The sign is also in constant search of adventure and knowledge. Kelly says those born under the sign are always learning and discovering new things around them.
The last of the three fire signs, Sagittarius is a "wildfire," Kelly explains, untamable and unlimited. This shouldn't come as a shock since the sign is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance. Sagittariuses aren't ones to hold back and often go all in when it comes to work and relationships.
Sagittarius career horoscope
Sagittariuses "see the world as really a place where there are no limits, no boundaries. Anything is possible," says Kelly. This attitude also translates into their work.
In the eyes of a Sagittarius, the future is full of potential and magic, and there is always time for discovery, Kelly explains. A Sagittarius' drive often manifests alongside a healthy sense of ambition, especially in the workplace.

Sagittarius compatibility
Kelly describes a Sagittarius' relationship style as "very fun, very playful, very jovial." They're often the life of the party, she adds. This makes Sagittariuses vibrant and dynamic partners.
"They're very youthful and they have a lot of energy, and they really always are looking for a co-pilot," Kelly says.
Sagittarius is most compatible with the other fire signs: Leo and Aries. But they also pair well with the air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
