Sagittarius is the last sign, before winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. That does reflects on its role in the zodiac as someone who closes the season with one last grand encore performance.
In agricultural world all work is now finished and there will be no more work or any extra food until Aries opens next season in late march. It is time to celebration, but also reflection and possibly even a move for a new greener pastures. It is not yet too cold and wintry in Southern Europe or Northern Middle East, so you can still get away from it all and travel somewhere else in hopes of better life. Back in the days of serfdom there was so called Yuriev Day period, where a serf could move between landlords. It was somewhat earlier than astrological period of Sagittarius but that is because Russia is colder and winter comes earlier.
Like Aries and Leo before it, Sagittarius is also a fire sign. The last fire sign that completes the elemental trio. In certain ways Sagittarius is wisest of the three, final evolution of the fire nature and energy.
If Aries is cardinal, Leo is fixed then Sagittarius has last possible modality, mutable. Unlike the other two who are more self driven and rooted in their ways, Sagittarius is much more flexible and adaptive. They adjust themselves to fit the surroundings and appeal to the people around them.
On zodiacal wheel Sagittarius is located opposite of Gemini, with whom they share love for travel and experiencing different things in life. There is difference however, if Gemini travels to see and learn more, collect knowledge and interesting things and then finally brings it back, the Sagittarius wants to just get away from it all. They are stiffened by the rules of ever encroaching society and want to break free and do what they want.
Being half man, half beast, Sagittarius could bridge the divide between human and animal sides of zodiac. Their skill with words will appeal to verbose human Air signs and their ability to feel and understand emotions will resonate with the rest of the zodiac.
As you can guess from the above, Sagittarian role in a society is rather diverse. They are travellers, philosophers, religious figures, entertainers and many more. Look at Boris Grebenshchikov from Aquarium band, who did all of that over the course of his life. Generally he makes for a good example of spherical Sagittarius in vacuum. For a female example, I have former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Timoshenko, She is classy, knows how to dress with style, but also lively and interesting. Unlike Hillary Clinton, she knows how to girl and appeal to men who are not into femdom.
As I already mentioned, Sagittarius likes to travel far to get away from it all. That is something I myself can relate to, having migrated from Russia all the way to Australia. I have two planets in Sagittarius, Uranus and Saturn.
Sagittarius is also a philosopher, not all philosophers are Sagittarians but many indeed are. Sagittarius the first sign, ruled by king of Gods, Jupiter (Zeus). Signs from Aries all the way to Scorpio are ruled by inner planets, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun and then the first three again in the opposite order. Sagittarius bring is new planet, new god and new way of looking at things. Something very fitting for a philosopher who is meant to advance knowledge and self-awareness. My own interest in philosophy possibly also come from Sagittarian planets in my natal chart.
Here Sagittarius completed work of Gemini, if Gemini collects all sort of knowledge and data without making too much sense of it all, Libra then analyses this data, finally Sagittarius could summarise all this information and present it to public in a digestible enough way, that they understand it.
That is probably why Sagittarius sometimes associated with a religion. Ancient people were not smart enough to understand natural phenomena for what they were, so Sagittarius could wrap them into images of gods who do this or that to make people if not understand than at least act in a smart way.
That said Sagittarius is far from being conservative, dogmatic, devout god fearing follower. They are all but opposite to that. They could be a charismatic priest however, or start and lead doomsday cult or something like that.
Finally an entertainer, Sagittarius likely could sense the feel and mood of the crowd no less than Leo. However Leo already hogged up all the leadership roles, so more humble Sagittarius has to settle for second best, be a celebrity instead. They can be actors, they can play in the band, they can be fun, entertaining and even witty. Listen to Aquarium lyrics, you never know if they are deep and profound or downright mad, but they do feel like author knows something wise and tries to tell you that. That makes them curious to ponder about.
When it comes to dating both male and female Sagittarians have rather good prospects. Male would only be second/third to fellow fire signs. While mutability will make them less strong will and decisive than fellow fire signs, that can at the same time open other opportunities with women who have different tastes.
Normally fire is masculine but since Sagittarius is mutable, it can sometimes work for a female as well. Female Sagittarians are more humble and accommodating towards man, than other fire signs. That can help them win male approval. They are more adaptive as well. TrueHellDei have a lot of Sagittarius placements in her natal chart, that can give you an idea how well that can work. I will post her natal chart sometime later.
Finally more about Sagittarian role at a closure of the season. That comes from experience. late 90s and early 2000s (Pluto in Sagittarius Era) were good times where life looked happy and optimistic while problems seem too far to care about. Looking back at it now it was naive. That prosperity and happiness was build on borrowed money and unsustainable spending.
Nonetheless it was time when we could live normally as we wanted to, not as we had to. Sagittarius could squeeze out last juices of the dying system to make everyone happy. You could migrate to a better country. You could pursue whatever career you want, make money, buy home and sort out your life. Technology advanced at break neck speeds, making video games bigger and better every year. You could be whatever you want to be, it was nearly dreamtime.
It was also a pinnacle of sorts as well. Many aspects of life were perfected and taken to the maximum of their capacity. Kind of like director's cut movies or definitive editions of games, we got a definitive edition of life, as good as it could possibly be. That was a stark contrast to shit that came afterwards.
Sagittarius is traveller, entertainer, philosopher and many more. They are people who try to take everything to maximum or at least make life just a little bit better, if only for a bit. They are also surprisingly humble for a fire sign. A very underappreciated sign in my opinion.
