Sagittarius Man

Would you like to know a debonair, fancy-free playboy who wins at roulette and is often more at home in Monte Carlo than Monmouthshire? Well, then, find yourself a Sagittarian man!

These chaps don’t like to be tied down. They’re the free-ranging fellows of the zodiac, who can scorn and shun ties and commitments at least, until they’re ready for them. The Sagittarian man needs space to breathe.

When he’s young, wherever he hangs his hat is home. He can hanker to hang up his homburg in Hamburg, or his bowler in Bolivia, until he’s got the worst of the wanderlust out of his system.

These men aren’t content to be told that the world is round or that the Antarctic is ice-bound: they’ve got to find out for themselves. The archetypal Sagittarian was Sir Francis Drake, who couldn’t sit still but had to set sail to see the world.

Many Sagittarian men are bachelors, born and bred, and will still feel free even when they’ve marched down the aisle. Let’s not kid ourselves these chaps like to have the cream of the crop, and they’re not ready to make up their minds until they’ve sorted out the ewes from the nanny goats, and know what’s what in the world. Up till then, they need as much variety in their lives as possible. If you’re at all possessive, you won’t suit the Sagittarian chap, unless he’s got a few home-loving planets in his personal make-up. At some point in your partnership your Sagittarian will want to get up and go. He may just meander off for a month, but he might be gone for good if your first reaction is to chain him to his chair and bolt all the doors and windows so he can’t escape. You mustn’t make this man feel threatened or tied down even if he is, the trick is to make him think he isn’t!

It’s the same old story with every Fiery fellow, and the Sagittarian is no exception. If you want him to notice you, you’ve got to pretend to ignore him. Remember that this is the hunter of the zodiac, so the Sagittarian man will be a past master at pulling the girls. Show that you’re intelligent and interesting to know, and play love’s Ludo till you’re sure of your ground. Many Sagittarian relationships don’t get past the starting-post for ages, because initially the couple don’t hit it off. But as they discover facets of each other that they didn’t know existed, so their friendship usually grows. Indeed, life with a Sagittarian man can be like your very own voyage of discovery, even if the nearest you get to setting sail for the New World is when you both go boating in Brighton!

When it comes to being a dad, the Sagittarian man doesn’t do very well. Very often, he won’t be keen on babies, although once he’s heard the patter of tiny feet, he’ll change his mind. Even so, he won’t be all that understanding or sympathetic, and his partner might literally be left holding the baby, while he does his own thing without her.

But once his children begin to grow up, he’ll change his tune, and enjoy them more. They’ll be able to participate in proper conversations, and he’ll get them thinking about the meaning of life and similar serious subjects. Jupiter will have shone his jovial rays on him, so he’ll be full of fun, and will make his children chortle with mirth and merriment when the mood takes him.

As far as looks go, he’s usually tall and fair. Keep your beady eyes peeled and you’ll see that stacks of Sagittarians have very high foreheads. It’s not a polite way of saying they’re going bald, but that they have so much brain, they’ve got to make way for it!
