The Myth Behind the Sign
In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is often identified as a centaur, a creature half-human, half-horse. Most commonly, it is linked to Chiron, the wise and benevolent teacher of heroes, unlike other wild centaurs. The archer's arrow is aimed at the heart of Scorpio, representing the triumph of higher ideals over passion and conflict.
