When he found him helpless and wounded with his poisoned arrows, the hero felt deep regret.

The Sign Sagittarius in Love

They are frank and sincere: what is in the mind and heart of this native, is almost instantly on its lips. In love, they are fickle and hardly compromise. They immerse themselves in romance with careless abandon. And as quickly they fall in love, they end a relationship without the slightest regret.

They do not like possessive or jealous partners and will not maintain the relationship if they are forced to deal with it regularly. The natives of Sagittarius need unions that give them freedom. They love spontaneous adventures and romantic gestures.

The Child of the Sign Sagittarius
The Sagittarius child never grows up. It will always be like that, a childlike spirit throughout life. Craving attention, you can't ever leave your child unanswered. Return the displays of affection with equal enthusiasm.
Your Sagittarius child hates to be alone. You might think it's quieter in its little room, with the lights off and the atmosphere quiet. The place for naps. But it's not the case. Your baby prefers to be in the middle of the room, full of people talking and a lot of confusion. There, it finds the security it is looking for to sleep its restful sleep.
Challenging and self-assured, the Sagittarius child needs rules, but it also needs to understand what motivates them. If you don't calmly explain to it why you expect certain behavior, you won't get results even if that angers you.

Your Sun sign is the sign of the Zodiac (Aries, Taurus, etc.) in which the Sun was at the time you were born. The start and end dates for the 12 signs are approximate, as the day of the month when the Sun enters the various signs can change from year to year. On the other hand, it is impossible to pretend that everyone who is born on the same date has the same personality, thinks alike, or has similar relationships and experiences. The star sign is a clue to unveil the nature and the most relevant traits of the personality, while being generic and partial. Only your birth chart will allow you to obtain individualized information about your way of being and potential for development.
