Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Sagittarius: Work Out, Be Philosophical
Easy-going, mellow Sagittarius; ruled
by Jupiter, life events rarely get on your nerves. Your style
of dealing with change is to periodically review and revise
your methods as soon as a warning light beeps. Your only problem
may be the flip side of your greatest asset: your optimism.
You may, at times, take too rosy a view of things. You like
to move ahead quickly. You get easily bored with details.
This combination can occasionally trip you up, since you could
miss something important or incorrectly judge a situation.
Surround yourself with detail/analytical air types (Gemini,
Aquarius or Libra) or hire an earth sign (Virgo, Taurus or
Capricorn) assistant to balance you. A mutable sign, you are
one of the lucky flexible ones that can accept change best.
Your fire side of your nature makes you enthusiastic, energetic
and creative in thinking up new plans and ideas.
When life becomes just too much, head for the
gym. Nothing makes you toss off stress better than a good
sweat. Besides pumping iron, taking your dog for a run is
great. Your sign is symbolized by the centaur, so try an equestrian
sport. Hire a horse for an hour and go for a morning gallop
through a park, or learn to play polo. Being outdoors regularly
is good for you, for Sagittarius is not a sign known to sit
still happily or stay cooped-up inside for too long.
Games of agility such as fencing or archery,
could appeal to you as well. There are some Sagittarius that
don't like many sports, but instead, they like to walk. That's
all they do, but they do so much of it, that they leave the
rest of us in the dust. When they walk they open the windows
of their minds and clear out all the clutter blocking new
creative ideas. The unity of mind and body is highly regarded
and maintained by Sagittarius.
If you need some entertainment, check the newspaper
for an animal show or rodeo, or take a wee one to a day at
the circus or a zoo. Sagittarius rules large animals, and
it is a rare Sadge that doesn't enjoy being around pets and
rare animals. Hang out with positive spirits like yourself.
Choose a Leo, Aries, Gemini, Aquarius or Libra. The water
signs are likely to be too emotional for you, and the earth
signs too serious (earth "puts out" fire).
Like your opposite sign, Gemini, you enjoy
books. Head to the nearest bookseller with a large selection
or go to the library. Unlike your opposite sign of Gemini,
who likes either to read best sellers or self-help books,
you are more likely to gravitate to books that deal with a
particular philosophy of life. You may also enjoy inspirational
biographies of well-known people who have met life's challenges
with courage, and are willing to share their insights.
Your sign is the natural ruler of the 9th house,
and therefore your sign is a reflective one. Having a long
discussion with a family priest, rabbi, reverend (or other
religious person) or even a professor or other scholar, could
prove stimulating. Sagittarius is a give-and-take sign that
does not become threatened by other's differing views. Highly
cerebral, you like the process of debate. and hold your own
quite well in any discussion. By allowing random or unfamiliar
points of view within your radar, you might be able to come
up with creative solutions to whatever is causing your tension.
Another Sagittarius activity that would give
an instant change of pace would be an evening adult education
class. Your sign enjoys learning, so go hear an expert speak
about a topic of interest to you at a neighborhood school,
university or even a lecture at a local YMCA or bookstore
event. The class need not have any information about whatever
is troubling you. Try a class on wine tasting, shooting pool,
modern American Poetry, Chinese cooking, or anything that
interests you.
Finally, think about getting away for a short
time if you can spare the time. Like Gemini, Sagittarius is
a travel sign. Check your frequent flier mileage or keep an
eye out for bargain airline rates. Sometimes it is necessary
to get away to see one's problems with objectivity. A long
weekend in London or a five days spent camping in Wyoming
would fix you right up, and you could return with an entirely
new point of view. Sadge is independent and self-reliant,
so if you have nobody to bring along, traveling alone would
be no big deal. See Notre Dame at dawn, have a croissant in
an outdoor cafe, stroll the Left Bank, stop by the Louvre,
take a drive in the French countryside. Sounds good, eh? Think
about it, Sadge.
