Sagittarius Sun Sign dates for 2023 (November 23rd – December 22nd)

As a curious parent, it’s important to know that the dates and times of each Sun Sign can vary slightly from year to year. If your child is born on, or close to these dates, a Birth Chart can accurately decipher their true Sun Sign. The time and location are also valuable details. For example: The Sun moves into Sagittarius close to 1:03am on November 23rd 2023, Sydney, Australia time. Birth Charts are coloured with vibrational influences and angles that add flavour to your Child’s Sun Sign expression.

It’s also interesting to note that each Sun Sign has its own Symbol, Element and Ruling Planet. They synergise and flow through your child’s character. Sagittarius is the 9th sign of the zodiac, so let’s begin by delving into the energies and personality traits of Sagittarius Sun Child, followed by helpful tips to guide, support and spark their joy. Is a SAGITTARIUS SUN CHILD giggling under your loving wing?

Sagittarius Sun Child Symbol: The Archer

In astrology, the symbols are representative of the energy and characteristics of each of the twelve signs, which mostly derive from Ancient Greece, Rome, and as far back as Babylonian times.

Your Sagittarius Sun Childs symbol is The Archer.

When it comes to gauging the astrological symbology of The Archer consider these fascinating qualities; The bow and arrow questing yonder the horizon, Aspiring to understand the big picture, The acquisition of wisdom, Aiming for adventure, freedom and faith.

Along with the Archer, The Centaur ties into the essence of Sagittarius adding another layer to the symbology. The mounted Archer, The Centaur rises above emotion to find meaning and faith in pursuit of truth, understanding and happiness.

As a learned teacher and healer armed with intelligence and belief, The Centaur forms a bridge between earthly experience and the limitless expanse of the heavens. Far sighted planners motivated by journeys with promise, you’re in luck when it comes to travel with your Pint Sized Sagittarian Seeker!

Have you noticed your Sagittarius Sun Child’s appetite for knowledge? Their enthusiasm for a variety of activities that keep them on the go? Their insatiable search for the next interesting thing with bow and arrow in hand?

As your little Archer grows, it will be fascinating to see if their sunny disposition aligns with their Symbol. Do they brush off obstacles and setbacks with a hop skip and a jump? If so, they’re tapping into the The Archers’ positive vibes, seeking out the biggest star in the sky.

Sagittarius Sun Child Element: Fire

Interestingly, Fire, Earth, Air and Water are known as the four elements in astrology. Each element belongs to three of the twelve zodiac signs.

The four elements relate to different aspects of the self and Fire relates to “our energy in motion.” It is expressed externally, comes with a sense of possibility and self motivation, and is the element for Sagittarius.

Sagittarius shares the element of Fire with Aries and Leo. The three signs possess individual qualities based around the element of Fire, and when grouped together have a common thread of compatibility within the zodiac.

Lively, active, exciting, explosive and full of colour, there’s always a hive of activity around children with strong Fire compatibility!

With your Sagittarius Sun Child on the scene, there will be a lot of amusement and clowning around. There might be some friendly competition as they love dynamic play, being part of a team, banter play offs and generally anything that spells FUN physically and intellectually. Have you noticed the element of Fire bounding through your Sagittarius Sun Child?

Sagittarius Sun Child Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Over time, each sign has been allocated a Ruling Planet. From an astrological perspective, the zodiac signs and planets in the Solar System were matched up, largely based on their thematic relationship to one another.

As you tune into the big cosmic energy of Jupiter vibrating through your Sagittarius Sun Child, consider its objective to; guide, enrich, expand, promote faith, and pose questions that open a gate toward an unlimited source of understanding and meaning.

Jupiter pushes the envelope for a connection to something greater than the self. It wants to create opportunities, awaken morality, be optimistic, believe in miracles, deliver potential opportunities for prosperity and good fortune, and inspire a “rise above” kind of spirituality.

When fostering your Sagittarius Sun Childs radiance, factor in the lively conglomeration of Fire, The Archer and Jupiter. A zesty mix of passionate broad opinions, greater wisdom, lively far reaching adventures, and the active pursuit of positively joyful good times.

Does your Sagittarius Sun Child like to roam freely with an uplifting spring in their step and a go-for-it zing? Do they ask you lots and lots of questions about a wide range of big picture subjects and be forthcoming with their views and beliefs? If so, they’re living true to the main game of their Sun Sign, as they aim to cover every aspect of their Ruling Planet Jupiter.
