What Your Sagittarius Decan Says About Your Personality
Sagittarians are well-known for being adventurous and optimistic, with a sense of wanderlust, but that doesn't mean that any two of them are quite alike.
Born between Nov. 23 and Dec. 21, Sags are passionate fire signs with philosophical natures and a desire to see the world—but if you're one and that doesn't quite sound like you, there may be an astrological explanation beyond just the rising, moon and other signs influencing in your chart. Your decan may also play a role. If you'd love to learn more, just keep scrolling.
What Is a Decan?
Decans are one of the simpler aspects of astrology, yet we find that many people are unfamiliar with them. Decans are part of your sun sign, with all 12 signs of the zodiac broken into three segments (decans) each. Since they're assigned by your date of birth, they're also as easy to look up as your sun sign itself, without the need for a birth chart to break down. If Sagittarius's most famous traits have never entirely aligned with you, you just might be feeling the pull of the other fire signs' planets because you were born under the second or third decan.

Sagittarius Decan I – (Nov. 23 and Dec. 2)
If you were born between Nov. 23 and Dec. 2, you're a first-decan Sagittarius, meaning your sun sign is ruled exclusively by the planet Jupiter, and you're likely to exhibit all of the traits that Sagittarius is known best for. Chances are that you're very honest, direct and trustworthy with people, with a generous heart and a positive outlook on life. You know how to make people laugh and put a smile on their faces wherever you go—and boy, are you always on the go. You're hardly ever standing still, with a love for adventure and exploration of the world. Even when you can travel, you like to explore different cultures and cuisines as well as soak in knowledge about the world at large.

Sagittarius Decan II (Aries) – (Dec. 3 and Dec. 12)
Anyone born between Dec. 3 and Dec. 12 falls under Sagittarius's second decan, gaining the additional influence of Aries' ruling planet, Mars, on top of Jupiter. That's why these Sags can act more like impulsive, energetic and athletic Aries. It can seem like they're never getting where they're going fast enough, but they meet life with enthusiasm for whatever life throws their way, and don't let any obstacles block their paths. They get bored easily and tend to be a little bit restless, often bouncing between many hobbies and jobs before they settle on their true calling.

Sagittarius Decan III (Leo) – (Dec. 13 and Dec. 21)
Those born between Dec. 13 and Dec. 21 are third-decan Sagitariians, with an extra special glow thanks to the influence of Leo's ruling "planet," the sun. If that's you, you might find that you're a bit more sociable and attention-loving than your other Sagittarius counterparts. These Sags have a natural magnetism that draws all eyes to them and major accomplishments behind them to earn that attention. They're risk-takers who go bold or go home, and though they don't always make the right judgment calls, their instincts usually drive them in the right direction.
