What’s a Sagittarian?
Every year between November 22nd and December 21st, some of the most fun loving people in the world are born. They are Sagittarians. Sagittarius is a Fire sign. That means that they have a high energy level, passionate personalities, and strong emotions. That passion can go one of two directions. It can give them drive and focus to succeed in areas where they want to go, or it can drive anger, melancholy, and all negative feelings. Luckily, Sagittarians are usually in a great mood, and ready to have a good time.
Sagittarius is also a Mutable Sign, which is surprising considering the fact that Sagittarians can be so stubborn sometimes. Being a Mutable Sign means that they are flexible and adaptable. In the case of Sagittarians, it means they'll blow whichever way the wind pushes them sometimes. They operate on knee jerk reactions and whims at times. When they are enthusiastic or like doing something, they will give it 110%. If they don't like it, they will do everything they can to get out of doing it, and they will fight so hard that they don't realize if they had just cooperated they would have already been done.

Sagittarius’ Five Best Traits
This article is supposed to be about Sagittarius's worst traits, but it's not fair to talk about someone's bad traits before talking about their good traits. Besides, we want Sagittarius to take us to that cool party later, so we want to keep them happy. They are so much fun and they're also easygoing. They're open minded people and they're very honest. They tend to be some of the most optimistic people in the room also.
Lots of Fun
Every Sagittarian has the same middle name. That middle name is “fun”. They know how to take the most boring, mundane scenarios and turn them into a rip roaring good time. A steady stream of jokes, goofy dancing, or treats for everybody are simple ways that Sagittarians make things fun. They also sweeten business deals by having perks for people, thanking people, and going out of their way to make people feel included. If a Sagittarian likes what they're doing, everybody else will too!
Easy Going
Sagittarians tend to be the least uptight Sign in the room. Things that other people find offensive don't seem to faze a Sagittarian. They tend to become annoyed and bored with people who they feel are too uptight or prudish. They don't understand people who like to be upset and would prefer that everyone is in a good mood and is spreading positivity. They tend to be non judgmental and very accepting people. Just keep in mind they are going to expect the same level of respect and acceptance from everybody else. Another Sign that can be very accepting is Aquarius and you can read about them here: Aquarius Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Open Minded
That easy going aspect of Sagittarians helps them to keep an open mind about things. They would rather wait and see what happens than go in with preconceived notions about new situations and new people. Part of the reason for this is they are always open to a good time, and they are smart enough to know that you're not going to have a good time if you repeat the same thing over and over until it makes you feel like you're asleep. They will listen, learn, and explore. They appreciate and respect other people who do the same thing.
Honest
If you want the truth about something, ask a Sagittarius because they will tell you. They believe that everyone has the right to know what's going on, especially if someone's talking behind someone else's back. It's not that they're trying to stir the pot, it's that they have a sense of justice and they believe that it is unjust to lie and keep people in the dark. Besides that, they don't want to be kept in the dark or be lied to. Being open minded and honest makes Sagittarians need to feel a deep sense of understanding of the world and they are smart enough to know that understanding is not possible with dishonesty.

Sagitarius’ Ten Worst Traits
After reading all of Sagittarius's good signs, you might wonder if they have any bad traits at all. Oh yes they do. So don't sign the marriage papers yet. You have a lot more to learn about them. Their honesty can make them downright tactless, and they can be even more selfish than they are tactless. They can be reckless and they have problems with authority. Read on to find the ten worst traits of Sagittarius so you know what to be wary of.
Tactless
We said Sagittarians are honest, right? Sometimes they're too honest. They don't have the best filters between their mouth and their brains. If they think it, they say it. They think they're keeping it real. Some people think they're brutal. Sagittarians don't understand that not everybody needs every harsh opinion that they have. It doesn't matter if they think Francine looks fat in that dress. She likes the dress and it's none of their business. When your Sagittarian blurts out every unkind thought they have, just tell them to shut up. They could learn to say less. Learn why less is more here: Is Less More? The Case for Less
Impulsive
Being a Fire Sign, Sagittarians are very passionate people. Their passions drive them. If they're excited about something, they feel the need to pursue it. That's a good thing sometimes. Other times they will leap before they look and act on the most ridiculous things. They may have packed up all of their belongings, sold their home, and moved three hours away to live close to family. If they decide they dislike one small thing about their new job, if they feel like it, they'll probably quit that job and move right back where they started. They find themselves regretting decisions that they make on impulses all the time, but they don't like to admit it. You can talk yourself blue in the face trying to convince a Sagittarius not to do this or you can let them learn from their mistakes.
Selfish
It's difficult being a Fire Sign that's also Mutable. They are open to so many things, they never know what it is they're going to want to try. They might beg you to drive them two hours out of town to a concert. Don't be surprised if they make a “new best friend” within 20 minutes of arriving and they ditch you and ride three hours further out of town to a rave with a complete stranger. Never mind the fact that you have night vision and won't be able to see well driving home. Your Sagittarius is on a mission to have fun. If you know that your Sagittarius is prone to this, don't go out of your way for them. Let them do things for themselves.

Commitment Issues
That Mutable nature that Sagittarius has makes it difficult for them to commit. Whether it be long term relationships, keeping the same job for a long time, or sticking with a new class or hobby long enough to develop any measurable skills, Sagittarians hate to be tied down. There's really nothing you can do about this, it's just in their nature. You're just going to have to respect that. Enough said.
Self-Righteous
Sagittarians can be highly philosophical and have zero understanding why other people don't share their exact philosophy. They have no tolerance for other people preaching to them, but they don't mind preaching. When your Sagittarius starts bragging about what upright people they think they are, you can either ignore it or look them in the eye and say something like “Yes dear”, and change the subject. Another Zodiac sign that can be very self-righteous is Virgo and you can read about some of their darkest traits here: The Dark Side of Virgos and How to Deal with It
Unfocused
Sagittarians were born to be flexible, change, and have a lot of exciting experiences. It can be very hard for them to hold their attention on one thing. They have to work very hard to focus on things that they are not enjoying. What can you do about this? First, ask yourself if it's actually any of your business. If it's not, just mind your own business. If it's your business, you're going to have to point out that they're not focusing and they need to get with the program. They might not like being told to get with it, but they will always be truthful with you, so they will appreciate you being truthful with them.
Reckless
Always on the hunt for the next good time, sometimes Sagittarians get excited about dangerous things. It's like they don't have a fearful bone in their bodies, and some of them spend their youth going from wreck to catastrophe to life shattering mistake. If they survive their youth, they will learn from it and have amazing stories to tell. Make sure you're the one driving on the cross country trip if you don't want them to race a train, because they will. One Zodiac Sign that can have a lot of fun doing things with Sagittarians is surprisingly Libra and you can read more about Libra’s dark side here: The Dark Side of Libras and How to Deal with It
Temperamental
Your Sagittarius might seem like the most easygoing person on the planet until they get all bent out of shape. Until you get to know your individual Sagittarius, there's no telling what's going to upset them. When they get mad, you might be worried that they're going to burn the world down. They really are sensitive people with a gentle side. So when your Sagittarius gets upset, sit down and say, “I’m listening” and then be quiet. Let them share whatever is on their mind before you offer solutions. Sometimes they just need someone to care. They're going to be fine.
Attention Seeking
Sagittarians are ruled by Jupiter. This planet gives them their love for adventure. It also makes them love being the center of attention. They know they are fun. They love getting praise for that and they love being ringleaders in whatever fun adventure is going on. They can be downright jealous if someone else is the star of the show. So give them a little attention and pat them on the back for being so much fun. And then say, “Hey, watch this, it's my turn". Just make sure that you are also fun or they will get bored with your drab attempt very easily.

Problems with Authority
The one thing Sagittarians hate more than anything is being told what to do. They don't want anyone bossing them around and they don't want to recognize that anyone has any authority over them. Some Sagittarians have the ability to mask this by being more of a team player. Others have problems wherever they go because of this. If you supervise or parent a Sagittarian, if you want them to succeed on your team, you're going to have to give them a lot of autonomy. Then make sure that you only give them things to do where they personally excel. If you have to step in and manage them, they will want to quit.
Fun loving Sagittarians are amazing people who spread positivity everywhere they go. They can also be selfish and attention seeking. To survive their dark side, give them a lot of freedom, step up and be as much fun as they are, and when they're going overboard with recklessness or self-righteousness, call them out. Sagittarians love to be by the side of people who love them and understand them. If that's you, then you will have the love of one of the most fun people on earth!
