Sagittarius
The Archer | Fire Sign | Mutable Quality
The Centaur Archer
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Archer, a centaur – a mythical half-human, half-horse creature – drawing a bow aimed at the sky. This represents the sign's dual nature: grounded in earthly experience yet constantly seeking higher truth, wisdom, and adventure beyond the horizon.
