This famous Sag has several secret talents…
American audiences know award-winning French actor Vincent Cassel from his roles in Black Swan, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, and Elizabeth. What they may not know is that he also sings and practices the Brazilian martial art of capoeira. Centaurs have to stay busy all the time!
Just like your symbol combines qualities of human and horse, Sagittarius melds many, sometimes contradictory, attributes. Vincent’s varied performances have been described as both “charismatic” and “idiosyncratic” and his characters both “alluring” and “grotesque”. He’s passionate, self-confident, driven—and he can speak his mind in five languages (that’s so Sag)!
Want the truth and a laugh? Ask a Sagittarius!
Sagittarians Jon Stewart and Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) have more in common than gray hair! Both satirical wits excel at pointing out the absurdities in American politics and life. That arrow the Archer is poised to shoot? It’s aimed directly at untruths, unfairness, and pretention.
If Twain were alive today, he’d no doubt be tweeting in support of abolition, blogging in favor of women’s rights, and skewering politicians and bloviators as host of his own late-night talk show.“Clothes make the man,” said Twain. “Naked people have little or no influence on society.”Who says you can’t learn a civic lessons and have laugh at the same time?
This Sag’s talents are unique and boundless…
Polymath Stephen Hough epitomizes Sag’s need to see, learn, and do. This accomplished pianist is also a composer, painter, poet, author, and blogger. He’s won international piano competitions and poetry prizes, performed with orchestras worldwide, and exhibited his artwork in galleries. He’s recorded more than 50 albums and teaches piano at two music academies. He has a master’s degree from Juilliard and a “genius” award from the MacArthur Foundation.
Wise, joyful, interested, and interesting, he’s an example of Sag’s enthusiasm and eternal search for wisdom. His advice on practicing for amateur musicians, “leave the ego-posturing to the professionals….make demands on yourself, fill the time well, concentrate… but then enjoy.” Sounds like good advice for life!
This brave Sag has faced a lot—but she’s thriving!
Anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America, Robin Roberts has faced more than her share of adversity, and overcome more than her share of obstacles. But in true Sag style, she’s faced them all with courage, humor, and optimism. Robin broke barriers as ESPN’s first black female sportscaster. In 2007, she survived breast cancer. And in 2012, she defeated myelodysplastic syndrome. By going public with her battle with the rare blood disease, the number of potential bone marrow donors at Be the Match increased 1800%.
The charismatic Peabody Award winner returned to GMA in February 2013. Filled with gratitude, she told Ellen DeGeneres, “I have never been this happy nor healthy in such a long time.” A true Sagittarian through and through.
Everyone knows Sagittarius is the most fun…
Like the half-human, half-horse Centaur, you’re a unique combination of intelligent seeker and party animal. Forget gloom and doom—your optimism is so dang hard to resist! When opportunity knocks, many people wonder if they should answer the door, but you fling it wide open and clasp Mr. Opportunity to you like a long-lost friend. You thrive on activity, ideas, the new, and the unexplored. As much as you love to talk, you express your feelings, including love, with actions. Being around you is like being caught up in an enjoyable whirlwind. If people could have only one friend, they’d want it to be you!
Why you need to see long term, Sagittarius…
You’re always moving—moving on, moving up, moving out. Your achievements are great, but still it’s hard to satisfy your restless soul! You know you could have done it (whatever “it” is) better, right? And boredom could nudge you to switch jobs, digs, or partners, frequently. Your optimism compels you to plow ahead and bite off more than you can chew, heedless of the consequences. And you usually get away with it because you’re so incredibly lucky! But you can’t bank or depend on luck. Lift your gaze and look at the long term. See where you’re going and how you’ll get there!

Sagittarians need this for lasting happiness…
You may just be the most consistently upbeat sign there is, and you can thank your ruler Jupiter for some of that. The rest comes from your indomitable spirit and eternal optimism. You know just what it takes to lead a happy life!
Honesty. You have better things to do with your brain than remember what fib you told to whom!
Power. You know what you’re capable of, and you do it.
Intuition. You could tie yourself in knots second-guessing yourself. That’s why you go with your gut.
Release. You don’t hang on to bad feelings. What’s done is done.
Choice. You choose not to associate with toxic people. Life’s too short!
Don´t take it personally, it´s only your Sag being real…
Sagittarius has firm ideas about everything—work, politics, and romance. You can’t pin one down or force one to love you. They know what they want. They also know if they’re in love. There’s no mystery to figuring out where you stand—Sag will tell you! Just like he’ll say your butt looks big in those pants, or she’ll say the joke you told at the party was stupid. This sign can’t lie, and Sag certainly isn’t going to start practicing with those three little words. Conversely, if the thrill is gone, your Sag will be, too. No lame excuse, no apology.
Single or not, this is who you are Sagittarius!
It’s impossible for Sag to fade into the wallpaper. You command attention the moment you walk in a room. Your wit amuses and your charm attracts, so why are you still single? For some, it’s because you like it that way! Sag is called the “bachelor” sign for a reason. You love the chase if not so much the capture. But your friendly ways draw many to you. They want to hear what you have to say and partake in your adventures. When you do find your match, you’ll give your whole heart and be loyal for life!
