Sagittarius (November 21 to December 21) is the brazenly adventurous sign of the zodiac, represented by the archer centaur or sometimes just the bow and arrow. Learn how to use essential oils for Sagittarius season and get 6 essential oil diffuser blends to evoke the adventurousness and free-spiritedness of Sagittarius.
Understanding Sagittarius
As a mutable fire sign, we see the quality of changeability added on top of the go-getter nature of fire, making the Sag a rather wild and unpredictable force. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of eternal optimism and expansion, Sagittarius is indeed jovial, friendly, optimistic, and larger than life.
They tend to be globetrotting wanderlusters, aching to expand their minds with new experiences and knowledge. Their dynamic free-spiritedness makes them magnetic, and they are known to be bluntly honest, even when a bit of tact might be called for.
Celebrating Sagittarius Season
Sag is associated with the 9th astrological house or the area of our birth chart that includes higher learning, adventure, and travel. Even if you are not a Sagittarius, during its season in the sun can be a fortuitous time to seek a little more adventure, try new things, say yes to new experiences, take a leap of faith, and give something a go, even if we may feel a bit unprepared or underqualified.
It’s a perfect time to learn something new, download a learn-a-new-language app, sign up for a course or workshop, or embark on a trip near or far. Philosophize, watch films from around the world that may open your mind and challenge your opinions or perspectives, and sample a new international cuisine or look up a recipe and try making it yourself (I also recommend making the appropriate customized soundtrack…Maria Callas is my usual Italian kitchen companion.)
Essential oils for Sagittarius
Often characterized as students of life or die-hard wanderlusters, Sagittarius craves new experiences much like the other fire signs, and the scents they use should reflect that—in other words, the best oils for a Sag are exotic, hard to find, or previously unknown to them. Try yuzu for a clean citrus, agarwood (oudh) for something grounded, or copaiba for calming.
While they aren’t exactly known for their nesting instincts, Sagittarius is skilled at making a home wherever they are, be it a beach hut in Bali or a five-star Airbnb in Ibiza. Since they aren’t particularly concerned with creature comforts and instead find solace in the new and exciting, it only seems fitting that the Sag-inspired essential oil diffuser blends we’ve put together evoke a sense of far-flung elsewheres.
(Of course, you could be reading this from any corner of the world, and what I may consider “far flung” may be your home turf. So going with what’s new to you is key!) Let’s take our senses on an adventure, shall we?
