How to get a Sagittarius to forgive you
Forgiveness is an integral component of the world's religions, one of Sag's favorite topics. Intellectually, he knows that holding on to resentment hurts him more than it hurts you, so he need not wait for your apology. Therefore, Sag may not have any problem letting bygones be bygones. The danger is that he may be holier-than-thou when you do make amends.For the Archer, to be right is to be righteous, so it can be a challenge when you've wronged a Sag. You want absolution, but you also want to pop his balloon of self-aggrandizement. Forgiving does not make him better or more exalted. It just opens up his heart. Or at least it's supposed to.
Sag may have just a little too much ego when it comes to granting you a pardon. Until he gets out of his own way, he's acting more like the institutionalized Church than the compassionate Son. When you ask for forgiveness, wear a "What would Jesus do?" T-shirt. Hopefully, the message will knock him down from his high horse.

HAH! As a sag rising, you are correct. I think if you give an honest apology, a sag can appreciate that and let it go.
Well.My father was a Sagitarius--and he *was* rather high-minded--but as you say--not so much so that he didn't lord it over me-definitely.
He would forgive me, but he did make it all out as though I was somehow making myself guiltier by virtue of my attempt to apologize.(don't understand it myself, but that was about the size of it).
I do rememebr when I was a teenager hanging my head once and he was clearly saddened, and overcame his high and mighty-ness.
Trouble was I couldn't seem to remeber to do that again.:-)
I have a good friend, former lover who is a Sagitarius although he's right on the cusp,(0 degrees Sag) so his nature is affcted by Scorpio imo.He is'nt roused to anger, and judgment easily, ut when he is, he is not pleasant, and cut me off abruptly when he was angry.
I learned to leave it, and him, alone, because later he always thought things through and saw things differently..
So, I would say that is one way--giving the person space--although as you say, trying to reason with the Sag through philosophy and with something they believe in deeply, will set the stage, if not completely change the situation.
If the Sag in question is not absolutely furious beyond reason (which would be rare anyway), explain that you regret your actions, and behavior.
Then refer to a source,belief system person or book that he/she accepts as 'higher' than he/she is.. and that you both beleive in, especially,such as a high priestess, the Bible, the Q'ran,Christ, the steps and principles of AA etc--and then leave it alone, until the Sag can agree to accept your apology.
That is my well-thought out answer, but I looked back just now, and it's not much different than the tee shirt that says"what would Jesus Do" LOL
