Sagittarius has the symbol of 'The Archer'. The people born under this zodiac sign just don't know how to give compliments. Their compliment will be like "You are looking so good in this dress. I bet no one can make out that huge beer belly" of yours. It's not that they are trying to offend you or something. A Sagittarian tries his best to be cheerful and friendly, but fails miserably. On top of that, he won't understand why you are so annoyed with him. It will help to remember that his personality traits do not include wickedness and he never meant to insult you.

Even though his words seemed to be too harsh, they were spoken in total innocence. Even when he tries to correct his mistake, he will add to the damage already done. The icing on the cake is that a Sagittarian believes that he is the most diplomatic person on the face of this planet. Sagittarius people are very sharp and are an interesting fusion of humor, intellect and sizzling drive. Vices like deceit and dishonesty do not form a part of their characteristics profile. They are restless and find it difficult to be still for too long.

They love animals and take good care of them. A typical Sagittarius fears nothing and, at times, may get attracted to danger. He is not the one to keep his thoughts to himself. Infact, what is in his mind and heart will instantly be on his lips. He is frank and innocent like a child. He has many friends and all of them are truly loyal to him. Nobody can remain angry with a Sagittarius for too long. This is because even though he may have said some, not so nice, things to you, he never had the intention of hurting you. He was completely oblivious of its effects and you know it.

If he ever sees you down, he will be the first person to cheer you up. It's just that he miserably fails in that too. However, every now and then, Sagittarians will turn up with such a compliment that will instantly lift up your spirits. Then, you will fall in love with them again. They are completely extroverted, very talkative and totally straightforward. A Sagittarian will usually come across as a very cheerful and pleasant person. However, he has a violent temper also, which is aroused when people try to push him around or try to get too close.

An unfair accusation or an insult to his honesty also ignites his temper. After his temper has cooled down, he will try to make amends and even apply ointment at the eye he blackened. Sagittarians are rebels at heart and adhering to social norms is not their cup of tea. They love to perform before an audience and usually seek a career in the show business. Travel excites them and religion interests them. Just like a child, a Sagittarius is naive, fearless and optimistic and dislikes responsibilities.

Too much boundation can make him unhappy as well as rebellious. Mood spells are completely alien to him. Almost every Sagittarian was born with a gambling streak and needs to be very careful about the same. He easily falls in love, but commitment and marriage is something, which he is not too comfortable with. He will go on thinking about it, considering it thoroughly and may still end up with a mistake. Some of the most unpleasant personality traits of a Sagittarius include sarcasm, weirdness and the inability to keep a secret.

However, almost all of these traits can be overcome, if he is determined. He will give you a loan, without even bothering to ask for its repayment. Lonely, destitute and helpless always get his help. Sagittarians have excellent memories and can remember even the smallest incidents of their lives, with the minutest of details. At the same time, they can easily forget things like where they left their car keys or wallet or handkerchief. A Sagittarius is incapable of deceit and if at all he tells a lie, he always ends up getting caught. He makes you laugh, is fun to be with, brightens up the day and can make even the impossible dreams come true.
