Keep in mind
There's no evidence that being born under Sagittarius determines an adventurous or philosophical personality.
Astrology is a belief system with more than 4,000 years of history. Molino uses it as a tool for reflection and self-knowledge. Astrological interpretations don't constitute scientific evidence, predictions or diagnoses. Modern astronomy has shown that the positions of the stars have no verifiable influence on personality or destiny.
