The 10 Best Things About Being a Sagittarius, by Sagg the Zebra

We asked Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal, to write a list of the ten best things about being a Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December).

The list arrived on four postcards, from four different places. One of them just said “Number 6 is a secret. You’ll have to come and find it.” We found it. It was in a tent.

1. We love adventure

Mountains, jungles, the bus to somewhere we’ve never been. A Sagittarius sees a path and wonders where it goes. Then goes.

2. We’re optimistic

Raining? Puddles. Lost? Exploring. Wrong bus? New adventure. A Sagittarius finds the bright side, even when it’s very well hidden.

3. We’re ruled by Jupiter

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. Big planet. Big dreams. Big laugh. It all makes sense.

4. Every one of us is unique

No two zebras have exactly the same stripes. No two Sagittarians have exactly the same plans. Usually because we change them on the way.

5. We’re honest

Ask a Sagittarius what they think and you’ll get the truth, with a smile. We don’t sugar-coat. We do sometimes add sprinkles.

6. We make the best stories

Because we’ve been there, done that and fallen in the river. Twice. Ask a Sagittarius about their holiday. Bring snacks. It’s a long one.

7. We love learning

New languages, new foods, new facts about volcanoes. The world is enormous, and a Sagittarius wants to know all of it.

8. We’re great fun

If there’s laughing, there’s probably a Sagittarius in the middle of it. Possibly wearing a hat from another country.

9. We’re free spirits

Fences are for other animals. A Sagittarius needs room to run, room to roam and room to change their mind.

10. We’re always up for it

Trip to the beach? Yes. Climbing wall? Yes. Something nobody’s tried before? Especially yes.

Sagg says: “That’s ten. Now I need a new list. Ten places I haven’t been yet. I’ve already started packing.”

Astrological and zoological. Illogically logical.
