Things to Look out for with Sagittarius
Sagittarius is so freedom loving, and their desire for constant change can include many and varied avenues for learning. This can result in a squandering of their mental faculties, where they struggle to commit to completing tasks or goals. The desire for change can also impact on their capacity to commit to a relationship. The Sagittarian will benefit from learning self discipline and self control through practicing accuracy in every action, and applying themselves to complete tasks. Failure to develop these strategies can become lazy and unmotivated, and frustrated by life, and alternate between faith and doubt and become despondent. The Sagittarian can also be prone to gambling
