The Sagittarius Archer is brilliant at public relations. They tend toward the excessive, expressing it as carefree, adventurous and always searching. With their expansive nature, they are freedom loving and fortunate because of this attitude, yet very judgmental of others. They are both engaging and intuitive.
They enjoy traveling and exploration, because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected.
