Free spirited Sag can’t sit in one place too long
Sagittarius career traits
A job with flexibility and challenge is essential because you bore easily. You’re the sign of the gambler and the hunter, so extreme living—working hard, then playing hard—appeals you to and is where your Sagittarius career path will likely lead. You do great with seasonal work or short-term contracts. You’re a clear, creative thinker with a vision of the big picture, and you love to share your accumulated wisdom.
You’re best off working for yourself and setting your own schedule, because you don’t want to be confined to an office. You’re a forward-thinking person who seeks constant challenges. While you love to mentor, you prefer not to manage people. You’ve got bigger fish to fry!
As with everything, Sagittarius, you need a career that offers a wide playing field with plenty of freedom and excitement. You’re the sign of the traveler, an inspired visionary who requires big dreams and lots of stimulation. Sitting still is a challenge!
As the sign that rules higher education, you’re a lifelong learner and teacher. Load up on classes and books that expand your mind and spark new ideas. You love to make people think AND laugh with your meme-worthy quotables. Sagittarius rules publishing and public speaking—two great outlets for your unusual ideas. Your sign has an intuitive understanding of how media works. Designing websites, editing magazines, and creating marketing documents may be things that come naturally to you.
If you’re an extremely restless Archer, your Sagittarius career path may involve outdoor work, like landscape architecture, guiding people on tours, or even selling handcrafted goods in a daily flea market. Your sign also rules travel, so you could work in another country or in a job that keeps you on the road.

Sagittarius career mistakes or pitfalls to avoid
Self–doubt
Your ideas are innovative, but you panic when progress hits a speed bump. You begin doubting the merit of your ideas, and may abandon a valuable project due to a temporary setback. When you lose perspective, talk to someone who believes in you or enlist a life coach. An infusion of encouragement will put you back on track.
Doing everything yourself
This is also known as the “I can do it better” syndrome. To execute a giant vision, you have to pass the ball to other players. But you have a hard time trusting others to do it right. You also don’t want to sit down and plan, fearing that once you look at “reality,” you’ll discover your idea won’t work. Take a deep breath and do that groundwork. You’ll feel relieved in the end.
Remember, by avoiding commitment to one thing, you can spread yourself too thin and end up overwhelmed. If you crave variety, consider doing seasonal work, consulting, or signing on as an independent contractor rather than a full-time employee. This gives claustrophobic Sagittarius a short-term deadline and flexible hours while still providing financial security.
