But success does come to you, as your sun sign is ruled by Jupiter, which stands for honour, riches and position. You do not have a strong inclination towards the purchase of real estate and immovable properties. Consequently, very few persons born under this sun sign build large estates.

Romance and Marriage:

In choosing your spouse, you are more idealistic than passionate. Consequently, even after the engagement, you break off the relationship if you find that your finance is not up to your mark. You love, but since you are not demonstrative in your affections, others may misunderstand them as lacking in warmth. However, if your spouse fails to keep pace with you, the marriage may break. At times, there are two marriages, one of which proves detrimental to your progress.

Health and Disease:

Your general health is good, but you are likely to suffer from nervous disorders. The sign Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs and muscular system. It is also connected with motor impulses. You are likely to suffer from mental tension, Sciatica, Hip Disease or some kind of lameness.
