The Centaur's Spirit
In mythology, Sagittarius is often associated with a centaur—a half-human, half-horse creature wielding a bow and arrow. This symbolizes the sign's dual nature: the striving for higher wisdom (the human) combined with a powerful, instinctual drive (the horse), always aiming its arrow toward a distant horizon or truth.
