About Ferdinand de Saussure

Swiss linguist who is widely considered the father of modern linguistics and semiotics. His Course in General Linguistics, published posthumously, introduced concepts like the signifier and signified that revolutionized language study.

Ferdinand de Saussure the Sagittarius

Sagittarius wants the horizon. A mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius runs on meaning and momentum: the next place, the bigger idea, the question that opens rather than closes. Confinement of any kind, physical or intellectual, is the thing they genuinely cannot do.
