Sagittarius might be one of the most ~controversial~ signs of the zodiac (along with Gemini and Scorpio, that is). Represented by the Archer—a centaur with a bow and arrow—Sagittarius’ words can cut like a weapon. They’re known for being blunt and impulsive—but that’s not because they’re mean, it’s just that they sometimes speak their minds without thinking through the consequences first.
In fact, Sagittarius’ spontaneous personality also makes them a great friend. They’re known to be adventurous and open-minded, meaning they’re probably the person who’s encouraging you to try skydiving/downhill skiing/cutting your own bangs. Since they’re ruled by Jupiter, planet of expansion, their schemes usually turn out well. Famous Sagittariuses include Taylor Swift, Chrissy Teigen, and Nicki Minaj—all of whom have dedicated fans but can also sometimes rub people the wrong way.

As fire signs, Sagittariuses are passionate and a bit hotheaded. As mutable signs, they’re flexible and adaptable. These traits mean they tend to make decisions on the fly—and Sags are famously noncommittal. (They will commit, but it has to be really worth it!)
Whether you’re a proud Sagittarius, you’re trying to understand a Sagittarius, or you’re looking for the perfect IG caption for your Sag BFF’s bday, we’ve got some Sagittarius quotes for you, below.
