Sagittarius wants the larger frame: the principle behind the fact, the country past this one, the reason any of it is worth doing. A planet here is restless in the specific way of needing a horizon, and it turns experience into belief faster than most of the chart is comfortable with.
Jupiter rules it, so the native motion is outward and the native mood is faith. Mutable fire changes direction easily and burns anywhere. The cost is precision: the same reach that finds the meaning skips the detail that would have qualified it, and Sagittarius will state a half-checked truth with entire confidence.

Its element
The other fire signs are Aries and Leo. They share the temperament and differ in how they hold it.
Its house
Sagittarius's meaning echoes in the ninth house, which covers the same ground as an area of life rather than a manner.
