𓃒 Mythological Connection
The constellation Sagittarius was linked by Egyptian astronomers to Neith, who was often depicted with a shield and crossed arrows. She was a protector and a hunter, mirroring the sign's dual nature of warrior and philosopher. The arrow represents directed will and the pursuit of one's destiny under the guidance of Ma'at (cosmic order).
