Natal Moon in Sagittarius: The Spirit of the Wanderer
These natives are so optimistic that most of life’s obstacles are viewed as learning opportunities rather than annoying barriers. Their glass half full outlook means they generally get what they want and get along well with others.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of joy, luck, success and expansion, and as such, these natives lead rich, full lives. But their ultimate aim is to expand their minds as much as possible through education, reading, travel, debates, and so on (the ways in which they can do this are virtually endless).
Upbringing
Their mother (or nurturing parent), was a busy and energetic person with a positive, broad mind and a multitude of interests. From a young age, she had an insatiable thirst for life. While growing up, she may have studied multiple subjects and dreamed of living a fun-filled and successful life as an adult.
Perhaps she was a wonderfully wise, kind and even inspirational individual. She may have enjoyed imparting a lot of her wisdom to her child to make sure they grew up with healthy self-esteem, a positive outlook on life, and a strong moral compass. Education was especially important to her so she may have gone to great lengths to make sure her child received a decent education with plenty of interesting extracurricular activities.
She may have had trouble expressing her feelings for her child, and she may have had a fiery temper, or been very expressive and outspoken. Perhaps there was some distance between them – emotional or physical. She may have been too wrapped up in her career, interests, and/or social life to devote most of her time to her child.
While most children need copious amounts of warmth and affection from their parents (arguably particularly from their mother), the lunar Sagittarian child may have felt rather independent from a young age. They might not have minded being a tad too “free-range” or the lack of attachment as long as they felt safe and secure enough.
General Characteristics
Life is better with a lunar Sagittarian in it. Light hearted, charming and smart, they are the lovable scamps who get away with so much more than the next person! They’re sociable and become especially energized when debating or philosophising.
Anything that helps them to broaden their understanding of our planet and humanity be it, for example, new ideas, new languages, new friends, new lands, is welcome. There’s a virtually unquenchable thirst for wisdom and new, exciting experiences.
They love collecting interesting and pleasurable experiences and discussing them with almost anyone who’ll listen! Avoiding negative people comes naturally as they prefer to be around those who share their positive and fair-minded outlook on life.
They attract a very wide social circle but can find it difficult to form very close bonds although this probably suits them as they can quickly feel weighed down by any demands placed on their time, autonomy and freedom.
The degree of intuition is remarkable with this placement. They can walk into any room and read the atmosphere quickly and accurately. If they choose to be diplomatic and kind, they can use this sixth sense to help others with all sorts of issues. Many talented clairvoyants and energy healers have this placement.
Some of these people can suffer from unrealistic optimism, sending them on wild goose chases and resulting in poor, rash life choices with undesirable outcomes. They may not see them as poor choices, though, instead putting them down to bad luck or poor timing. Others may become irritated with their lack of direction and self control. In this case, more patience and willpower is required to meet their goals. This is perfectly possible because they often possess brilliant minds and outstandingly enthusiastic hearts.
Although this Moon sign can encourage some impulsive and selfish behavior, if the Moon is well aspected, or if the native is generally positive, many of the brilliant qualities of the sign will be apparent. It should also be noted that someone with this placement who feels restricted can feel very stifled and frustrated indeed.
At Home
Their home is perceived as more of a base rather than a place to spend very long periods of time since the greatest satisfaction is gained from being on the go and outdoors. Of course they enjoy having a safe, beautiful and comfortable home to enjoy but they’d feel confined and a bit bored and restless if they spent too much time at home every day.
They’re dextrous people and therefore naturally talented at things like D.I.Y., cooking, and woodworking, especially if Taurus, Gemini or Cancer is in the 4th house. They might want to be the best at whatever they do in (or out) of the home and a competitive streak may appear from time to time.
Their home is an enjoyable, calm abode. It will probably comprise bold, colorful artwork, comfortable furniture and cherished items from other countries and cultures.
Restlessness is deeply rooted in these natives and at some point, they may wish to break free from the mould and travel solo or buy a home somewhere abroad. Van life appeals to young lunar Sagittarians and if brave enough to try it out, they will probably find that it suits their temperament. And all the more if they have strong Aries or Aquarius placements.
At Work
There’s a beautiful child-like quality to these natives and just like a child, they must be free to have fun and enjoy themselves in whatever they do for a living. They know how to live, or at least what they would ideally like to do to support a full, fun, free-wheeling existence. A job that fails to bring them joy or inhibits their freedom would feel unbearably confining and pointless.
They need to enjoy a certain degree of freedom and purpose in whatever line of work they are in. They do especially well running their own business or working for a cause that fills their heart with joy and brings something of value to others. If self-employment is not feasible, working for a charity, abroad, or in some sort of exciting role, preferably outdoors, also resonates with the lunar Sagittarian heart. They may even receive help from outside sources when trying to find work or build a business as they’re just naturally really lucky.
Professionally, there’s a great deal of success for those who follow their heart’s desire. When they feel inspired and energised, they easily accomplish their goals, which are sometimes very lofty indeed!
If they don’t teach for a living, they’ll probably feel inclined to teach others in some capacity. I once knew a doctor with this placement who felt compelled, without me asking, to teach me about certain things in-depth relating to the issue I was experiencing (with a broken toe). Sharing their knowledge is just so very important for them.
This lunar sign is one of the most intellectual so they enjoy reading, studying and learning in depth. They may have been a serious student from a very young age. If their home is particularly spacious, there could even be a library, or at least a substantial collection of books, somewhere.
Their job and interests can change quite often as experiencing diversity is really interesting to them. Once something starts to feel boring, it must go no matter what it is. They may like to have their fingers in lots of different pies, so to speak. I think my cousin is a good example of this. He has this lunar sign and he started out in his twenties as a freelance software engineer. In his thirties, he became a nutritionist and finally, now in his forties, he’s a self-employed personal trainer and wellbeing coach.
Their activity may alternate from seemingly lazy to dynamic because a lot of energy is spent quickly in fiery bursts. Keeping an eye on their energy level throughout the day could help avoid burnout.
Interests
Intellectual pursuits are absolutely necessary for their fulfilment. There’s a strong urge to expand their mind through travel, languages, other cultures, and education. They’re often multi-talented people with a diverse range of hobbies and interests including singing, music, dancing, sports, languages and art.
If they become interested in too many things, they risk becoming a jack of all trades and master of none. They may not be able to keep a job for long because of how restless they are. Money may be a constant sore point with these people. If they muster enough willpower, however, they can achieve anything — no matter their age or background as these natives are usually exceptionally bright and enthusiastic.
Frienship
As a friend, although sometimes a little forgetful or flaky, they’e almost perfect; fun-loving, adventurous, talkative, and generally easy-going. They accepts others for who they are and they try to refrain from passing judgement. The company of people who are similar to them is enjoyed and they should also have a light-hearted view towards friendship rather than an intense one.
Getting close them can be tricky, though. Sagittarius focuses on the bigger picture which means many connections yet few close and intense friendships, unless there is prominent Scorpio, Cancer or Pisces in the natal chart.
Emotions, they find, can be rather difficult to navigate and they might have a hard time providing friends with a lot of emotional support. Instead, they excel at offering wise advice and philosophical viewpoints which can really help during their hard times. They feel a duty to care about their loved ones and to be considerate toward them.
Being so up-beat, funny, witty, open-minded and clever, they are the friend we all wish to have. This lunar sign makes new friends and acquaintances as effortless as the sun sets at the end of each day.
Love and Relationships
As lucky as they are in life, they are in love. Because of their open-minded and optimistic outlook they easily attract good natured people. People who are very different to them in some way especially interest them. For example, they may think very differently, come from abroad, or were raised very differently.
They’re attracted to those who are open-minded, educated, humorous, philosophical and curious about the world, like they are. And if the person they’re involved with can teach them something new, like a new language or skill, all the better! They love being intellectually challenged and are drawn to intelligent, interesting people who rarely fuss over small details.
An active life in the bedroom is an absolutely necessary ingredient if they are to live well. They need someone to help them to expend their physical energy and have fun with. Variety in everything from underwear to games is important to keep things alive and interesting.
They aren’t the type of people to partner up with just anyone for the sake of it or even for practical reasons like sharing a mortgage. Many things, and people, intrigue them.
They aren’t frightened of living alone, and they’re not willing to settle down with anyone who doesn’t fascinate them. So when in a relationship, their partner may rest assured that they’re with them because they really want to be. The relationship just needs to remain passionate and interesting in order for it to last. Their spouse must also understand their need for freedom and grant them plenty of it.
Speaking of freedom, it can sometimes look like they’re not taking the relationship very seriously but this probably isn’t the case at all; they just need their own peace and space to think, relax and recharge.
Some of these people wish to avoid monogamy altogether. Being buoyant, attractive, fun and easy-going, they naturally attract all kinds of people so there’s no shortage of possible love affairs. Alternatively, living apart from their partner, or at least having separate bedrooms, may help them to retain some of their beloved independence although this is far less likely if they have strong Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio or Capricorn placements.
A partner with strong Gemini, Sagittarius, or Aquarius placements would be particularly suitable. All of these signs have a fundamental need for fun, freedom, autonomy and a burning desire to explore whatever they fancy. And no doubt they will want to go on many, many adventures with their other half.
I think I should mentioned that this is a sign of extremes and as such, they may decide to abstain from intimacy almost altogether. A life (or lengthy period) devoted to a religion or a humanitarian cause may, for some natives, take precedence over romantic connections.
Parenting
These people tend to either want children of their own, or not. There does not seem to be much middle ground with this placement. On the one hand, they love the idea of having minds to feed and on the other, the idea of being child-free holds great appeal as it may better suit their need for freedom.
If they opt to have children, they’ll encourage them to be independent from a young age. It’ll also be necessary for them to know that they’re getting the best education possible and they will want them to enjoy themselves as much as possible.
They may also encourage their children to travel and expand their horizons by visiting foreign lands. This isn’t the sort of parent who becomes anxious or upset when their children tell them they’re going backpacking across a continent during their gap year. On the contrary, it would probably bring them great joy to hear of their exciting travel plans!
As their children grow older, they’ll wish to reclaim their independence and might set their own sights on traveling or doing whatever else brings them joy.
While they aren’t normally the type of parent who constantly lavishes attention and affection on their offspring, they love them deeply in their own way. Their zest for life, impressive amount of physical energy, and generally positive outlook helps their children to become confident and content adults.

If the Moon is well aspected, the native positively minded or there are other factors in the natal chart that positively impact the placement, they will be fun, adventurous, intelligent and broad-minded; a real go-getter and glass-half-full kind of person — and we all need to have someone like that in our lives!
