These signify the search for truth and knowledge, as well as the constant pursuit of adventure and new ideas. Intellectual curiosity covers a wide range of subjects, but Sagittarius does get bored and restless when surrounded by dull people or circumstances. Sagittarians would rather learn on their own, through travel and experience, than endure structured classroom environments and routine work assignments. However, having broadened their knowledge and gained experience in the world on their own, they could become excellent teachers or administrators in the very educational system they once found so restricting. Frank Sagittarius does not hesitate to give an honest opinion, which can seem tactless at times - although it is rarely the intention to be cruel.
Sagittarian people have a ready wit and appreciate the humour in even the grimmest of situations.
Each sign has internal, external and structural rulerships. Externally, Sagittarius rules the region around the hips, gluteal muscles, thighs and has considerable influence over the muscles in general. Internally, it has rulership of the sciatic nerve, iliac arteries and veins and considerable influence on the liver, lungs and motor nerves. Structurally, it rules the four coccygeal vertebrae, sacral bones and femur. The diseases of Sagittarius particularly involve the hips and thighs.
