Sagittarius: The Infectiously Optimistic or The Ineffectively Irresponsible?

Sagittarius: The Infectiously Optimistic or The Ineffectively Irresponsible? Wednesday, July 8th, 8PM, PST We leave the dark oceanic lair of Scorpio and emerge into the golden light of in born luck that is Sagittarius. It is here that we approach the final four signs of the zodiac and since the ego was officially killed by the flames of Scorpionic desire, Sagittarius, by being a “child of bounty”, SHOULD behave as an “ambassador to the universe” by showing the self that a much bigger plan exists – that of the universe. I emphasize the word “should” because time and time again I find that the sign that is truly given so much not only doesn’t share their bestowed bounty but blatantly squanders it. I’m stunned whenever I ask a Sagittarian “Do you consider yourself lucky?” to get a very lackluster response of “I guess.” or “Kind of.” Being ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, fortune and opportunity, Sagittarians are walking 4 leaf clovers, possessing a knack for having the most amazing timing for being in the right place at the right time and a luck factor that leaves the rest of us speechless! But as I teach that everything in the universe has a price, so too does being born lucky. Without a sense of discipline, work ethic, and focusing on the belief of “goodwill towards men”, dumb old luck has a way of becoming terrifying and ugly past a certain age and can end up devouring the person who possesses it by making them the most embarrassing of hypocrites and ineffectively irresponsible with everything they do. Sounds like the nicest of fairy tales gone awry, doesn’t it?) The inherent luck of the Sagittarian is what makes them the eternal optimist, even when things seem anything BUT hopeful. The icon that I have chosen for Sagittarius is, I feel, my best piece of writing to date and my choices for Sagittarius’ Song of the Day are powerful to say the least. Both are quite apropos for these uncertain times.
