Flirtatious fire signs, Sagittarians are high-energy thrill-seekers ruled by Jupiter — the planet of luck and expansion. Ruling-planet Jupiter instills a yearning for mental expansion and an insatiable appetite for adventure — both of which lead Sags to pack their bags any chance they get.
Sagittarians never doubt that the odds are in their favor, possessing an alarming, though admirable, sense of optimism towards even the bleakest of circumstances. They thrive in philosophical discussions, always earnest to understand any new, opposing or taboo point-of-view.
Symbolized by the archer, Sagittarians are driven by their desire to discover the new, the interesting and the worthwhile experiences in life. Whatever or wherever those might be.

A strong case of wanderlust prompts Sagittarians to spend much of their time living out of their suitcase, but even so — there’s no place like home, is there? The ideal design for a Sagittarius space is one that highlights their world travels and the many souvenirs accrued along the way.

Large, floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views prevent Sagittarians from feeling caged-in or antsy.
Airy white, blue or grey walls will work double time, making the space feel larger while showcasing the vibrant, velvet throws, textured rugs and one-of-a-kind artifacts dispersed within their home.
Spacious, Contemporary Living Room With Tall, Stone Fireplace Surround, Large Crescent Sofa and Warm Tone Pattern Rug
A bright patterned rug wakes up the design in this living room with vibrant red and orange tones. A large crescent sofa and matching circular chairs create seating surrounding the rug. The open floor space gives the room a spacious feel and draws the eye to the tall stone fireplace surround.
