The ninth sign of the zodiac. Ruled by Jupiter and related to the sign of fire.
The ninth zodiacal sign is Sagittarius and the image or the symbol utilized to represent the zodiacal influence of Sagittarius is a centaur. A centaur is an ancient symbol from Greek mythology and beyond, which depicts a creature that has a torso of a man, and from the waist down he is a horse. This symbol represents a profound understanding of the nature of the path to the self-realization of the Being. It is vital for students of the path to understand the nature of self, and to do so we have to understand and remember the symbol of the centaur.
Sagittarius is related to the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is the king, the one who provides the majesty, rulership. When we are working with the forces of Sagittarius, really we are working in the house of Jupiter. The sign of Sagittarius has a particular influence related to clairvoyance and the capacity to perceive that which is beyond the physical. This is why it is so important for us to develop discrimination when observing ourselves.
An arrow is a pointed projectile that is shot with a bow and penetrates a distant target. Sagitta is the constellation of the arrow, and Sagittarius is the constellation of the bow or Archer. The constellation of Aquila separates these two constellations. The English word arrow (constellation Sagitta) is confounded with the archer (Sagittarius) and cognate with Latin arcus, ‘bow, arch’. The English word Sagitta, arrow, is also confounded with the word Sagittarius, the archer, or ‘arrow shooter’.
“The arrow (sagitta) is named for its ‘keen striking’ (sagaxictus), that is, its swift striking.”
― The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville (7th century AD)

The natives of Sagittarius have a great disposition for philosophy.”
― Samael Aun Weor - The Manual of Practical Magic
“Mortals who were made immortal … Crotos (Krotos), son of Pan and Eupheme (‘the well-spoken’), was put in sky by Muses as Sagittarium.”
― Hyginus - Fabulae 224
