Dignity, Disposition, and General Energy
Mars isn’t in domicile, exaltation, detriment, or fall in the sign of Sagittarius, but it’s disposed to Jupiter in this sign. Mars in Sagittarius natives, like Mars in Aries natives, often tend to be full of energetic and fiery enthusiasm, although one big difference is that their focus and their interests are usually dispersed towards various directions simultaneously. This is almost guaranteed to have them moving around and getting up and about from place you place, relieving that itchy feet syndrome of theirs. In a Jupiter-ruled sign, it makes sense to say that this particular Mars native may generally abhor sitting around stagnating; perhaps they feel they need to explore the world or meet with new and unconventional social groups. They may also need to learn through experience and debate on a variety of subjects; especially religion, politics, philosophy, travel, and culture. Mars in Sagittarius can be the life and soul of a party and they may enjoy expressing their views and standing up for all they believe in. They are more often than not passionate, vibrant souls and they may so strongly desire to be able to do whatever they please, whenever they please that they might just consider their work towards this freedom to be one of their highest life priorities.
General Traits
Those with Mars in Sagittarius generally enjoy being ‘hands-on’ people with a great love for traveling, walking, nature, and the great outdoors. They often have strong philosophical convictions with an equally strong sense of justice and can know how to work their skills of persuasion with these when they know exactly what they want. Like the other two fire Mars’, Mars in Aries and Mars in Leo, they tend to be very direct in taking action towards most things and, although they may carry a tendency to be a just little less focused than the other two, their views on life can often be somewhat broad and panoramic, having always been able to search extensively and experience abundantly via their exploration of the world for their well-earned knowledge and wisdom.
Relationships and Attraction
Whilst it would make sense to say that a relationship with a Mars in Sagittarius native would rarely become dull or boring, of course, we all know it takes two to bring everything that’s needed to the table to make atmospheres spicy at the restaurant table and in the bedroom. What I can say is that these natives are well-known to enjoy a healthy challenge when pairing up with the apple of their eye. Tending to be quite versatile and changeable in their methods of seduction and preferences for types and styles of foreplay, they may also appreciate variety over many things and they may especially love getting ‘down and dirty’ in an array of new and exciting places; most especially the great outdoors. Like the other fire signs Mars’, it’s also safe to say they likely don’t mind leaving out the small talk and getting straight to the action in most situations. A little bit of aggression and danger with some thrill-seeking may be on the cards with these folk. Well, this most likely goes for outside the bedroom too. Mars in Sagittarius natives can often easily be charmed by others who are a little bit eccentric, adventurous, expressive, and brave. Blatant and upfront honesty can also attract them a great deal. They also tend to enjoy being kept a little on their toes much of the time. Once they have conquered, their interest can tend to wane a little bit as those with this placement are lovers of ‘the thrill of the chase.’
Challenges
There are sometimes some difficulties for those with the Sagittarius Mars placement and for those who love them as they may become regarded as fickle, unreliable and disloyal on occasion due to their aforementioned priority to do whatever they please, whenever they please. They can also tend to deliver harsh remarks of criticism during moments of impulse because of their respect for honesty mixed in with their direct nature, which can somewhat prove to be a little damaging for those who aren’t always so ‘tough-skinned’. As with the difficulties for all Mars placements, compatibility with others is key to finding a comfort zone, as there will always be some people who can live with these traits more than others. They may also have tendencies to lack practicality in some of their endeavours and this, coupled with their dislike for having to adhere strictly to deadlines means that many of those with this placement can fritter away a possible great career life, especially during their earlier years in life. They may often need a good dose of personal chart placements that indicate lots of practicality and reliability in order to lift themselves off early in life in this area; their love of doing whatever they want can oftentimes equate to a love of doing something (or things that are) light-hearted and fun.
