Honest to a fault, and the fault is the part the lists leave out.
The basics
Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, mutable fire, symbol the Archer, ruled by Jupiter. Mutable fire is enthusiasm that redirects without losing any of its heat on the way. Its opposite sign is Gemini.
When the Sun is actually in Sagittarius
The Sun enters Sagittarius on 21 or 22 November and leaves for Capricorn on 21 or 22 December. The boundaries drift. A year is not a whole number of days, so the Sun's crossing creeps later and later until February takes the slack back.
Computed from the same ephemeris this site uses for its birth charts, here is where it actually fell across the eleven years 2020 to 2030: the 21th in 2020, 2024 and 2028; the 22th in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2030. In 2026 the crossing was at 22 November 07:23 UTC.
Scorpio comes before it and Capricorn after. Born on the 21st or 22nd of November, or the 21st or 22nd of December? The year decides it, and on some of those days so does the hour.
What Sagittarius is actually like
Jupiter rules Sagittarius, and Jupiter is the planet of more: more distance, more meaning, more of whatever is currently interesting. You expand by default, which makes you excellent company and periodically overcommitted.
Mutable fire is enthusiasm that redirects. You do not lose interest in everything, you lose it in this and acquire it for that, at full strength, having sincerely meant the first one. People who have watched you do it three times stop taking the fourth seriously, which is unfair and also understandable.
You want the bigger frame. A problem interests you more as a question about how things generally work than as a thing to be fixed on Tuesday, which is why people enjoy talking to you and why the Tuesday thing is still not fixed.
The part the lists leave out
The honesty is real and you use it as cover. Saying the blunt thing feels like integrity and is sometimes just the version of the conversation that costs you least. The test is whether the honest thing was also the difficult thing for you to say. Fairly often it was not.
You leave. Not dramatically, you are simply not there, and there is a reason each time, and the reasons are good. The pattern is only visible from outside and the people who love you have seen it.
Sagittarius in love
You need room and you are suspicious of anything resembling containment, which means you can read ordinary closeness as a trap. The partner who gives you room is usually the one you stay with, and it is worth noticing that that is not the same as being left alone.
Your risk is the exit. At the first serious constraint you start building the version where leaving is the honest choice. Sometimes it is. Check whether you built it before or after you wanted to go.
Your sun sign is not your chart
If the restlessness fitted and the optimism did not, or the other way round, that gap is the useful part. The Sun is one body out of ten, and it is the only one a date on its own can find.
The Rising changes roughly every two hours, so even the correct day is not enough to produce one. The Moon needs the hour too on about one day in three. Your Big Three works out all three, free, and the arithmetic runs on your own device.
They are suspicious of constraint rather than of commitment, which looks the same from outside. A relationship with room in it tends to hold a Sagittarius far better than one built on reassurance.
Why are Sagittarius considered blunt?
Jupiter expands whatever it touches, candour included. The useful question is whether the blunt thing was also hard to say, because fairly often it was the cheaper option.
What are the Sagittarius dates?
The Sun is in Sagittarius from 21 or 22 November to 21 or 22 December. Both ends move by a day with the year, so a birthday on the 21th or the 22rd of November has to be worked out from the year and the hour rather than read off a table.
What is the opposite sign to Sagittarius?
Gemini. The axis runs between the larger frame and the detail in front of you, and a Sagittarius Sun is usually better on the frame.
