Sagittarian traits- Optimistic or Pessimistic
Sagittarians are people born between 22nd November and 21st December, under the ninth sign, that is Jupiter. The traditional name of Jupiter is ‘Jove’. Therefore it goes without saying that Sagittarians are jovial people. Their key characteristics are that they are magnanimous, honest, expansive, generous, reckless, extroverted, proud, larger than life, and independent. Their Key life Phrase according to astrology is ‘I expand’.
When one thinks about optimism or pessimism, the old adage of the water and glass comes to mind. A pessimist’s glass half empty is an optimist’s glass half full. Therefore, in the case of Sagittarian traits as well, it depends on how one is viewing the traits. Sure, Sagittarians have both positive and negative characteristics but so do all the zodiac signs. Let us view them for a better understanding whether Sagittarian traits are optimistic or pessimistic.
The Archers (their totem is a Centaur shooting an arrow) or Sagittarius are viewed as a different set altogether because of their fearlessness and generosity. They are lovers of freedom, and also of adventure. Another aspect is that they are deeply immersed in culture, intellectual and creative pursuits. But this energy of theirs may not be appreciated in all circumstances as it may seem to be superficial. Their honesty may hurt people and their pride may make them tactless in their dealings or make them seem boastful. The zeal to be independent also comes at a disadvantage of being considered inconsistent under certain circumstances. But come what may, they march forward, and in that aspect, no amount of pessimism may get them down. They are optimistic by nature and shall always remain so.
It has been said that Sagittarians are guided by luck and therefore, in spite of hardships good fortune comes their way. This may be misconstrued as them not being hard working, but Sagittarians with their exuberance, energy, sunny disposition always believe in the best and their positive attitude pays off. However, they do not always express themselves as because they never dwell on the past and such emotions may have negative connotations and may hold them back. After all, the like being free- like a bird. But then again, this may make them reckless as they will jump as a plan without considering its pros and cons. It may land them in trouble in the future. Therefore, even though they are optimistic, they need to reign in their vibrancy and think before taking major decisions.
Summing up one can say that Sagittarians with their confidence attract a lot of people. Being Archers, they aim very high in life but sometimes one needs to realise their capability and reach in setting dreams. However, their optimism pushes them to take a risk. As a Sagittarius, one has a deep interest in getting to the bottom of anything and knowing the truth. However, as lovers of adventure, being without constant mental stimulation and variety may make them bored and in the long run, detached. This is a pessimistic trait as it makes them seem unemotional, especially in a relationship.
Overall, Sagittarians rely on themselves, whether in work or in life, and if given a free hand, perform marvellously. Jupiter is psychic and hence Sagittarians have a good sixth sense. That quality coupled with faith, ensures that Sagittarians cross every hurdle with a smile and treat it like a learning curve. Life is a grand adventure and a challenge which the Sagittarians like living to the fullest. Their traits are definitely optimistic.
