The Centaur, the fierce archer, half horse and half man, a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the male Sagittarius can be expansive and exuberant, a generally cheerful type with a can-do attitude who is always up for a wild adventure.
These carefree gentlemen tend to want exhilarating experiences such as cross-country skiing, bear hunting, or wild (though often brief) love affairs. There is a Hemingway energy to these great outdoorsmen, who often take to hunting, full-contact sports, or finding a way to live outside the parameters of everyday life. These guys never want to settle down and live peacefully behind a white picket fence. Often nomadic, they may wander here and there, almost never calling one place home.
A Sagittarius man lives for those wild open spaces, so whatever you do, don't lock him up! Sometimes extremely impulsive, a masculine Sagittarius may run off to the next thing if you think you've cornered him. Being restricted in any way does not appeal to these independent, freedom-loving types.
There's something lucky about a Sagittarius man, which makes them dangerous to bet against at the gambling table, not that he's too worried about losing a little money. "What comes easy, goes easy" is a typical Sagittarius motto; they tend to live completely in the moment, trusting that good fortune will follow them wherever they go.
Many Sagittarius men seem to be living a charmed life and often take their own blessings for granted, and find themselves at a loss as to exactly what to do when their luck runs out.
Like the heroes in the tales of old, a Sagittarius will find a way to turn life's pitfalls into an adventure or a great adventure, and then enjoy regaling you with the story of how he escaped a sticky situation, emerged victorious, and ended up saving the day.
