Part of Fortune in Sagittarius

Here a person feels the abundant energy of freedom. He strives for open space, both mentally and physically, and avoids constricting situations and circumstances that limit his capabilities. Of all the zodiac signs, Sagittarius has the greatest ability to experience a joyful life. Existence here can be naturally happy and abundant. If this person is not afraid to try his luck, he will discover that he is born lucky. If he is not afraid to travel, he discovers that the greatest luck comes in the places furthest from home. As the years pass, his living space continues to expand, and the experiences and circumstances through which he goes through become more and more significant.

Through the Part of Impartial Consciousness in Gemini, one is constantly aware of what others are thinking. He sees how much of life can be spent trying to tactfully please others instead of trying to expand consciousness so much that a person understands how unnecessary such thinking is.

Extremely inquisitive, he strives to wander in search of everything he can try in life. Man derives great happiness from closeness to nature and feels most uncomfortable in the confinement of cities, which tends to regulate and constrain his thinking and limit his ability to live with the natural spirit of life flowing through him.

Sagittarius energy is the energy of truth based on an understanding of natural law. Gemini energy is the energy of duality and the awareness of duality, based on the experience of human-human communication. The individual with the Sagittarius Part of Fortune finds that when he softens his words to gain the approval or favor of others, or puts himself in the shoes of another in order to understand what to say to him, he becomes untrue to himself. Because he can take in the entire situation almost instantly in the wide expanse of his consciousness, he feels best when he is appropriately direct. In this way he does not question the sincerity of his own truthfulness. The Gemini portion of Impartial Consciousness gives the ability to see the world of apparent duality clearly and impartially. This allows a person to quickly review situations or events and enables the Part of Fortune in Sagittarius to synthesize these observations into a new unity. The initial observations then gain direction and meaning, and the person can take appropriate action.

A person with the Part of Fortune in Sagittarius knows that new experiences are always waiting to bring him more joy and satisfaction. There is a strong tendency here to mentally project into the future and imagine events and places that can fill that future. This tendency forms the basis of Sagittarius’ prophetic nature. He sees what will happen, through insight or through great willpower, he puts into motion the future according to his desire.

Great joy comes from understanding that there is nothing more important in life than living it to the fullest. Therefore, while the Part of the Impartial Consciousness in Gemini sees people trying to choose a direction in life and always feeling unhappy because they think that one direction should have been chosen by another, the Part of Fortune in Sagittarius can recognize all directions at once . Complete disappointment due to the inability to find one’s niche in life is not familiar to this person. Wherever he hangs his hat is his home. Whatever way he earns his living is his profession. Whoever he is in company with is his friend. It is this attitude that allows his enthusiasm to flow in harmony with the forces of his environment.

This person is able to “cruise” on the surface of life and not plunge into situations that could negate his inherent optimistic outlook on life. The greatest obstacle to his happiness is the attempt to see himself through the eyes of others. This is the self-critical aspect of identifying with the Part of Impartial Consciousness in Gemini. The man radiates joy. He himself is joy. However, no matter how bright the light may be, it cannot see itself. Other people can see the joy in him, and knowing this, he sometimes makes the mistake of expecting to receive his reflection through them. Due to positive feedback, he can slip into illusion, which can make others joyful. Living with this type of mental obligation, a person may lose his sense of joy.

A person with the Part of Fortune in Sagittarius must learn that happiness is something that cannot be transferred from one person to another. This is one of the main lessons taught by the Gemini Part of Impartial Consciousness. Trying to make such an exchange only weakens a person. The world can be his oyster if he just lets himself be. When he learns to do this, his life will take on an enthusiastic spontaneity unmatched by any other sign of the zodiac. It is through this undirected spontaneity that one can come closer to what the Buddha meant when he pointed out that the true meaning of life is simply “to be.” The “pot of gold” at the end of this person’s rainbow is as bright as the sense of presence he may experience in each moment.
