In my experience as a psychologist specializing in the zodiac and relationships, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of personalities influenced by their sun sign.

One story that stands out in my memory involves a Sagittarius man, let's call him Lucas, whose behavior defies the common stereotype that men born under this sign are free from jealousy and possessiveness.

Lucas came to me concerned about his relationship...

At first glance, he was the epitome of the typical Sagittarius: adventurous, lover of freedom, and always in search of truth and knowledge.

However, delving deeper into his relationship, we discovered together that even a Sagittarius can struggle with the demons of abandonment fears.

What's interesting here is how jealousy manifested in Lucas: He wasn't possessive in the traditional sense; he didn't constantly need to know where his partner was or with whom.

Instead, his jealousy arose when he felt that the shared adventure - that important bond for a Sagittarius - was fading or when he perceived that his partner was finding that spark of excitement with someone else.

In a revealing session, Lucas shared an anecdote about a recent trip with his partner to a new country. While he was fascinated exploring every historical corner, she found exciting connection engaging in local activities with new friends they had made there.

For Lucas, this sparked an irrational fear not so much of physical infidelity, but of losing that exclusive and exciting connection they shared.

This moment was crucial for our work together. We used this experience to explore how Lucas's core values —freedom and adventure— could be misconstrued as a license to expect the same from his partner all the time.

Later in this article, I will explain how we resolved Lucas's jealousy issue...

What is Sagittarius man like and how he handles his jealousy




The Sagittarian highly values their personal space and freedom, not seeking to dominate their partner but rather to walk together as equals.

This sign is synonymous with adventure and is perpetually seeking new horizons to explore.

For Sagittarius, jealousy rarely comes into play. Even if they ever feel this exciting challenge, they tend to not give it much importance.

It's not that they don't deeply care about their partner, but if they perceive a potential threat in the relationship, they choose to discreetly withdraw rather than confront or demand explanations. For them, knowing how to deal with betrayal eliminates the need to worry about feeling jealous.

When a Sagittarian man truly falls in love, he is spontaneous and jovial; it's difficult for him to take things too seriously due to his free spirit.

Still, when in the midst of a serious relationship, he may experience insecurities that lead to occasional feelings of jealousy. At these times, he may reveal a more temperamental side.

If you find a Sagittarian showing signs of jealousy, it's best to address your concerns directly with him.

He will be open to dialogue to identify together the root of the problem. If you are fortunate enough to share your life with one of them, always ensure to keep their curiosity and interest alive.

He loves creative and sports activities. Being someone very inclined to critical thinking, he enjoys staying up to date with the latest political or philosophical debates. A lack of intellectual stimulation could lead him towards negative feelings like boredom or even jealousy.

In the name of love, he is willing to physically defend those he loves if confronted.

Avoid deliberately provoking his jealousy, as he might react aggressively in defense before even questioning your feelings towards him. However, this staunch defender of love has clear boundaries when it comes to being deceived: there's simply no turning back after betrayal.

His independence prevents him from easily falling under unfounded suspicions or possessiveness without reason; he is too absorbed in his own projects to worry without any cause.

Loyalty accompanies every step he takes with his partner; you will never have reasons to fear being abandoned waiting for him at night because he probably has already invited you on his next adventurous escapade.

And if you end up feeling jealous, remember: he will confront any problematic situation with you, as he knows how to handle difficult dialogues with maturity.

Never try to control or manipulate him during discussions because it will only increase tensions between you.

If you try to make him jealous by openly flirting, be prepared to see him upset, as he considers such behavior highly disrespectful towards him and the relationship you share.

By choosing to be with a Sagittarius man, you must understand that you are choosing to be with him according to his principles. This goes far beyond simple mutual respect between both.

Though he may seem passive-aggressive towards situations where jealousy prevails, he tends to express himself when least expected.

Continuing with the story we started this article with...

The key to overcoming his jealousy of Lucas was not in changing who he was based on his zodiac sign, but in understanding better how to communicate about his expectations and fears without stifling the inherent freedom of both him and his partner.

Through our sessions, Lucas learned valuable lessons about balancing sharing adventures together while allowing individual space to grow. These lessons not only decreased his tendencies towards jealousy, but also strengthened his relationship.

This story is a powerful reminder that no zodiac sign is exempt from emotional challenges like jealousy and possessiveness.

However, by facing them with introspection and open communication, we can transform these challenges into opportunities to deepen our human connections.
