The Joy Of Saggo

Happy Sagittarius Solar Eclipse New Moon. While they’re easy to mock for their fecklessness and frequent faux-pas, Sagittarians are pretty damn amazing. Who cares about ‘feck’ anyway? What even IS feck?

Apart from a penchant for costume parties, the core characteristic of Saggo is allegiance to Story. The capital S is deliberate: they like to adhere to a grand-scale narrative, to inhabit their own legend. You could call it hubris but isn’t it better to be a conscious protagonist than an unwitting bit-player in someone else’s saga?

The Sagittarian interest in indigenous cultures and travel is partly a byproduct of their attunement to trends and broad-restlessness – remember that they’re Mutable Fire – wildfire. But it’s also because they seek a society that reveres underlying myths, beneath whatever story is being spun by politics and large corporations.

If they’re not actively on some sort of psychoactive quest or elated from growth, they lose energy. They’ll zoom in their consciousness for a detail or something superficial if you can place it in a bigger context. Skip that and you will witness someone astral travelling in real time, while purportedly present.

Saggo people forgive others as easily as they forgive themselves. They forget everything so on the odd occasion they end up in senate enquiries their “I can’t recall” will be genuine. They don’t remember names or job titles, they think in archetypes. They’ll remember your story.

The only time they lie is when they say they’re “on their way.” They don’t see it as a fabrication, not even if they’re at home in their underpants, drinking wine at the time. It’s more of a metaphysical anomaly. They’re always on their way. Time is automatically lost in translation because to Saggo, it’s tyranny.

Sure, they’re only really motivated by holy grail wow-factor goals, the promise of spiritual revelations, winning something or a party. They’re loud and their allergy to responsibilities often ends up as your problem but they’re also human endorphins. And who else can you share a crazily audacious plan with and receive a guaranteed rapt reception?

It’s Sagittarius, always. Even if your Sun is not in Sagittarius, you could be born with the constellation rising, the Moon or a planet in Saggo. Additionally, the sector of your natal chart representing it is where you embody these qualities. It’s where you need a lot of space for your narrative scope.
