Sagittarius Traits: The Adventurer of the Zodiac
Sagittarians are the zodiac's wanderers. Born under the sign of the Archer, they're always aiming their arrow at the next horizon: a new country, a new idea, a new adventure. They're optimistic, curious, honest and wonderfully good company, the friend who turns a quick walk into a day out and somehow knows a story about everywhere.
Every sign has its shadow, and for Sagittarius it's restlessness and a talent for blurting out exactly what everyone else was thinking. But that honesty comes from a good heart. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and plenty, Sagittarius is the sign of big dreams, belly laughs and a glass that's always half full.

The Best Stones and Gemstones for Sagittarius
1. Turquoise: The Classic Sagittarius Stone
If any stone was made for Sagittarius, it's turquoise. For centuries it has been carried as a traveller's charm, sewn into saddles and tucked into pockets for a safe journey, which makes it the perfect companion for the zodiac's great explorer. Its sky blue colour is linked with protection, good fortune and friendship, and it's one of December's birthstones too. Our lime green and pink Mojave turquoise vegan silk necklace is a cheerful everyday piece, and our turquoise collection has more. Read the full story in our turquoise meaning guide.
Look out for African turquoise too. Despite the name it's actually a speckled jasper, but its blue green colour makes it a favourite with Sagittarians. Our African turquoise bead bracelet is an easy one to stack.
2. Topaz: For Warmth and Joy
Topaz is one of November's birthstones and is often linked with Sagittarius, especially blue topaz. It's associated with warmth, joy and generosity, three things Sagittarius has in spades. Our mini mystic topaz heart shimmers with every colour of a winter sunset. Find out more in our November birthstone guide.
3. Lapis Lazuli: For Wisdom and Truth
Deep blue and flecked with gold like a starry night, lapis lazuli has been treasured by kings and queens for thousands of years. It's linked with wisdom, truth and self expression, a lovely match for honest Sagittarius and their ruler Jupiter, the planet of learning. Read our lapis lazuli guide or browse our lapis lazuli jewellery.
4. Amethyst: For Calm
Sagittarius has a fire that never quite goes out, so a little calm goes a long way. Soft purple amethyst is traditionally used as a stone of peace, clarity and balance, which makes it a gentle counterweight for a sign that's always on the move. Try our amethyst crescent moon or read the amethyst guide.
5. Sodalite: For Honest, Kind Words
Sagittarius always tells the truth, sometimes a little too bluntly. Navy blue sodalite is linked with clear thinking and communication, a lovely reminder to pair honesty with kindness. Our sodalite bead bracelet is a simple everyday piece, and our sodalite guide tells you more.
6. Citrine: For Optimism
Golden citrine is pure sunshine, which makes it the perfect stone for the zodiac's eternal optimist. It's one of November's birthstones and is associated with joy, abundance and good luck, very fitting for a sign ruled by lucky Jupiter. Every piece of citrine we sell is natural. Try our natural citrine leaf or read our citrine guide.
Vesuvianite is another stone linked with Sagittarius. Its fresh greens are a symbol of growth and following your heart, which suits a sign that is always heading somewhere new. Find out more in our vesuvianite meaning guide.
Sagittarius Birthstones: November and December
Sagittarius season straddles two months, so Sagittarians get two sets of birthstones. Those born from November 22nd to 30th share November's topaz and citrine, while December Sagittarians share turquoise and tanzanite. Of the four, turquoise and topaz are the stones traditionally linked with Sagittarius itself. Browse every month on our birthstones by month page.
The Sagittarius Constellation
Sagittarius is usually drawn as a centaur archer, half human and half horse, with his bow drawn and his arrow pointing west. Look closely, though, and its brightest stars make a much cosier shape: a little teapot, complete with lid, handle and spout. Its brightest star is Kaus Australis, which sits at the bottom of the teapot. In our Crystal Constellations artwork we've turned each star into a gemstone, with turquoise, topaz and lapis lazuli lighting up the archer.
Here's our favourite bit: the archer's arrow points straight at Antares, the red heart of Scorpius next door, as if he's keeping the scorpion in line. And the Milky Way is at its brightest in Sagittarius, because when you look towards it you're looking towards the very centre of our galaxy. In Greek stories the archer is sometimes Crotus, a satyr said to have invented archery. From Britain, Sagittarius sits low on the southern horizon on summer nights, so find a dark spot with a clear view south.
How Sagittarians Can Use Their Crystals
- Take one on your travels: slip a turquoise or lapis piece into your bag before a trip, just as travellers have done for centuries.
- Wear them close: our crescent moon necklaces come in lapis lazuli and amethyst, and are light enough for every day.
- Set an intention for the season: on the first day of Sagittarius season, hold your stone and choose one adventure you'd like to say yes to.
- Cleanse and charge them: the winter solstice on December 21st, the last day of Sagittarius season, is a lovely time. Our guides to cleansing crystals and charging crystals explain how.
