In the world of Gryffindor. There is of course the fact that Sag is a fire sign and the element of Gryffindor house is literally fire, but the nature of a typical Gryffindor and the personality of a typical Sagittarius just seems to have a lot in common.
Not everything about a stereotypical Gryffindor and an average Sagittarius matches up perfectly though. Here are 5 ways in which Sagittarians are typical Gryffindors, and 5 ways in which they're not.
Are: Honest
One thing that no one can ever say about any Sagittarius is that they're dishonest. On the contrary, many people who know a Sag likely wish that they were a little less honest.
But like any typical Gryffindor, a Sagittarian is reflexively honest, not because they want to hurt anyone's feelings or because they want to put their foot in their mouths, but simply because it would never occur to them to not tell someone the truth.
Are Not: Elitist
Sagittarians can definitely be a bit arrogant at times, but one thing that they certainly are not is elitist. On the contrary, they typically like to explore everything and everyone, and they can usually find something interesting or impressive about every single person they meet.
On the other hand, Gryffindors tend to think that they're better than everyone, and they unsurprisingly value the things that they excel at over anything else.
Are: Outgoing
Sagittarius typically has a very happy attitude and they like meeting new people. They can sometimes appear like attention hogs, but the reality is that they just love everything new and exciting and don't care to contain their enthusiasm.
Like most Gryffindors, Sagittarians love to socialize and meet new people, and they usually have an easy time taking the first step and introducing themselves to others. They'd certainly rather do that than wait around and expect new friends to come to them.
Are Not: Risk-Taking
Those born under the zodiac of Sagittarius are absolutely brave and bold, but something that they're not prone to do is take any risks. And that's not because they're afraid, but just because they think it's stupid.
Gryffindors are willing to rush headlong into a dangerous situation without assessing it first, and while Sags also are more likely to act before they think, they'll only take an action that they know they'll be successful at.
Are: Fiery
Gryffindor house is represented by the element of fire, and Sagittarius is a fire sign. And of course, that elemental symmetry is reflected in the personalities of Gryffindors and Sagittarians.
Fiery people tend to feel things very intensely, and they act out on those feelings in a very intense way. They almost never feel ambivalent about anything, and they typically do whatever they can to act out on their emotions or to do what they think must be done.
Are Not: Determined
Gryffindor and Sag might both be represented by fire, but Sagittarius often represents how quickly something can ignite and flame out. Sags are usually pretty naturally talented, and they lean into those talents quite hard.
They don't like to spend a lot of time working at something, because they want results now. If they really need to make something happen, they'd rather experiment with easier ways to do it instead of just plugging along at one course of action.
Are: Bold
Sagittarius loves to explore, and they love to explore in every sense of the word. New places, new people, new ideas, all of those things are the most thrilling experiences that a Sag can have.
Gryffindors often display the same kind of attitude, they aren't afraid to experiment, and if something needs to be done then they are often the first ones to get the ball rolling.
Are Not: Stubborn
Sagittarius is a mutable zodiac sign, which means that they are more flexible than average. What's great about them is that while they have a very strong point of view, they are always ready to hear someone else's point of view, and they're more than willing to change their minds if someone makes a great case for why they should.
Gryffindors unfortunately are not nearly as flexible, once they've come to a decision they likely stick to it.
Are: Brave
Bravery is the most recognized and recognizable trait of any Gryffindor, and it's a characteristic that they share with most Sagittarians as well. Both Gryffindors and Sags feel strongly about doing what must be done. They're fierce as hell and they are absolutely not the types to back down from anyone.
Ultimately, while some people might perceive them as showboats, they just won't ever allow themselves to avoid doing something out of fear.
Are Not: Practical
Probably the biggest distinction between a typical Sag and a typical Gryffindor is that Gryffindors are usually extremely practical, while any Sagittarius is not. Practicality is boring in the eyes of a Sagittarius, and they can't stand to feel bogged down or restrained.
They're the sign of the archer, so they like to aim high, and anyone or anything whose dose of reality will hinder their creative thinking or lofty ideas will quickly find themselves on the outs with Sag.
