omg I grew up with a sagittarius sister and honestly same. at some point I just had to accept that she's not trying to be mean, she genuinely thinks she's being helpful lol

the trick I learned: don't ask for her opinion unless you actually want it. if you just need validation, find someone else for that. save the sag friend for when you need REAL talk

What you're experiencing is classic Sagittarius energy - ruled by Jupiter, they're the sign of truth-seeking and expansion. They genuinely believe that honesty is the highest form of respect.

A few things that help when communicating with Sag placements:

• Tell them what kind of support you need BEFORE sharing. 'I just need to vent, not looking for advice' goes a long way.
• If their honesty stings, they respond well to directness in return. Say 'that was a bit much' rather than hinting or going quiet.
• Their bluntness is rarely personal - they say the same thing to everyone including themselves.

The thing is, a Sagittarius who softens the truth actually feels like they're lying. Understanding that reframes it a lot.
