Sagittarius Negative Traits Explained

Sagittarius individuals can be overly optimistic, impatient, and blunt. They may struggle with commitment and sometimes act irresponsibly. While they are adventurous and honest, their negative traits can include a tendency to be tactless or restless, which might cause issues in relationships and personal growth.

Like Konicha said, impatient. Tactless...honestly is very important and oftentimes we say things without thinking how our words may unintentionally hurt people.

Lack of patience?? The Sag I dated was patient as hell... at least for the "big" things. Small things like "pass me the remote", yeah he was impatient.

So true!! Lol the remote thing!! Very true. I hear alot people find it annoying I can change plans last minute.

I don't think we're emotional unbalanced, it's a matter of keeping up with us _

Changing plans to the limit of canceling... I know it's very bad. Running away from tough situations Yes most of the time. Hey we're horsies what did you expect?!

It's interesting people brought up "fate"... I found my ex was very much someone that relied on it - he had a passive way of just letting things go (rather than facing emotional issues), under the guise of "it just wasn't meant to be" - that's how he dealt with disappointments in his personal life.

Funnily enough, he didn't do this with his career - with that he was a go-getter when things got tough.

yah that sounds like me

They can lack tact, but I find they respond better to "you've been stepping in it" feedback and make the effort to be more mindful.

Not so much of an issue with Sags with Merc in Scorp or Cap. They tend to be more mindful of how they will come off, but still quite straightforward.

Maybe Sagittarians are misleading like me.

I care. They think I want something from them.
I talk too much. They think I would bring people's secrets to them.
I flirt. They think I need their love.
I am nice. They think that's all what I am.

It happens every now and then that I leave a party with someone. People could think I went with him to his place. In reality we said goodbye at our cars and went different ways.

There was a girl who lived in my place. She thought I needed to talk her. In reality she did not leave my room until late and I could not sleep. I sat in pyjama in my bed and waited that she leaves my room. She did not leave so we continued talking. I was misleading her. I had to tell her to leave me alone.

- Too optimistic in people leads to disappointments.
- Sometimes too restless and impatient, this is a big one for me.
- Failure to consider the darker side of people and life, so I'll overlook things that I could have prevented had I acknowledged this.

I don't really run away from problems though... saw my Aqua sister do this a lot and it never solves anything.

Sometimes I feel bad for moving on too fast from things.. Like an argument or something, I like to move on fast and those things are not significant to me.. I look at the BIG picture. Then the other person involved is like.. Hey, I'm still hurt or still thinning about it. When I break up with guys I just GO. Then think about it years later and I'm like.. Jeez that was kind of insensitive. Also, losing everything! (like my keys or leaving things behind)

From my personal experiences..

There is an unspoken, unacknowledged sense of entitlement. Not just material, but also things like forgiveness, respect, having their faults overlooked. I don't mean basic respect. The types that have to be earned. Like being respected for one's knowledge or intelligence. Not that they don't need to work for things but that these things should just come easily and with not too much effort. Like a Sag child might feel like they are super smart and did most of their school work so they should get good grades just for that.. yeah but you didnt finish it. Or my Sag friend messed up real bad and was all miserable that her boyfriend didn't immediately forgive her and wipe the slate clean because she's overall a good person.

Astrology explains that being ruled by Jupiter, Sags should tend to have fairly good luck and seemingly boundless optimism and enthusiam. So since things often do tend to come easily they are simply used to that and irritated/shocked when something is harder to come by.

My Sag friend is easily controlled/manipulated in romantic relationships, especially by airy men. Like the two will be incompatible and they're both unhappy and she knows it but the relationship continues on forever anyways. The guy says oh it'll change and they have One good day and she gets all happy-go-lucky and Too Optimistic about it.

I agree that too much of idealism can lead to miss the reality. And I have been so not-from-this-world in my life.

That be said, I have never let anybody controlled/manipulated me.
Maybe because of the degrees or other parts of the chart?

"For November 26 people, relationships with lovers can be problematical, primarily because their individualism and love of freedom often outweighs their need for a permanent mate. [...] they themselves are usually the ones who do the rejecting in relationships".

Our bad traits according to http://www.simplysunsigns.com/2014/02/disney-villains-negative-sun-sign-traits.html:

Unrealistic - Domineering - Overconfident - Restless

Talk about unrealistic, this guy had zero right to the throne and went for it full force. He was very overconfident that he could make Jasmine fall in love with him, even though he was treating her and her dad like dirt. He was very outspoken and domineering like a Sagittarius can definitely be.

With this guy Jafar was meant.

I mean I have enough self-defeating in my blood. But should I accept this insult?
Unrealistic? 65%
Domineering? 35%
Overconfident? 55%
Restless? 85%
zero right to the throne? 83%
went for it full force? 100%
could make xxxx fall in love with her, even though she was treating him like dirt? 80%

Well I have known my Sag. ex for many years and still keep in touch with her for the sake of our 13-year-old son (also a Sag.)

I would say that her worst characteristics are taking the people that she knows (including me) for granted (although she can be very pleasant to mere acquaintances and strangers), and (connected with this) a tendency to "ride roughshod" (surely a very Sag. expression!) over other people's needs and feelings.

The worst example of this was when she got pregnant with our son: she phoned me up one evening and told me she was pregnant and that she had already decided to go ahead and have the baby. Although I was basically against this (because of our difficult relationship, the geographical distance between us and the difficult financial situation) I would have been open to persuasion if she had tried to mollify or reassure me in any way, and if she had I think it might have spared me from years of heartache. However, as usual with her it was just a case of "too bad if you don't like it, cause it's gonna happen!"

As I have said, our son is also a Sag. and the negative Sag. characteristics that he has I would say are impatience and absent-mindedness (like he often forgets to take something important to school with him in the morning and his mother has to go back home and bring it in: and/or he leaves something at school that he should bring home with him).

I love my sag friends, they can be the most amazing people ever...but, sometimes they think they are "helping someone"...this in fact, is the farthest thing from the truth. There is a difference between being rude and helping someone. When people try to "help them back", all of a sudden their feelings get hurt. Hypocritical much? Anyway, love ya guys, but sometimes I want to beat your asses 😄

Definitely too tolerant, but once they turn and reach their point, they go ham (even if they should take a second to re-think).

I've noticed that some sags trust someone pretty instantly, even if they shouldn't. In that way they get let down a lot.

whyyyyyy so true

to add to the list:

-Often too reactive...we react, then think.
-Sometimes quite childish.
-Seem to think everything's a joke; take nothing seriously.
-Making unnecessary digs at people. ie: instead of just saying "you hurt my feelings," we say "you're an asshole and no one likes you because you're shit at life"
-Stubborn as fuck

Hmm... I'm definitely going to disagree on the impatient one. I'm incredibly patient, actually more so than most people I know. And that's with almost all things. The one area I may not have patience for though, would be with stupid people. (I don't mean that offensively) but there are those who will just ask the same damn question(s) over and over and OVER again... Especially when I'm at work! Ooh man does it drive me crazy! LOL makes me feel like they have no common sense, and that's something that urks me to no end. 😉

Dramatic and lacks balance in life.

Ie, too absorbed in the moment and unable to pull back and 'observe social protocol'

It isn't a bad thing personally but when other people have been conditioned to observe it and sags don't it becomes a curved ball against the sag's benefit and people tend to see it as a bad thing.
