Greek mythology associates "Sagittarius" zodiac sign with the centaur Chiron, a Greek hero of the Trojan War (Greek's war against the city of Troy), in archery. Sagittarius, the half human and half horse, is the centaur (creature) of mythology, the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven. Also known as the Archer, Sagittarius is represented by the symbol of a bow and arrow.

Sagittarius is the ninth astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Sagittarius and spans 250-270th degrees of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this sign between approximately November 22 to about December 21. The identification of Sagittarius as a mounted archer was made by the Babylonians as early as the 11th century BCE. However, the constellation names and myths were of Greek origin.

When Sagittarius is depicted as an archer, then he is classified as human but when represented as a centaur, he is nonhuman (bestial). Represented by the archer (a half-man, half-horse centaur), Sagittarius isn't afraid to use its bow and arrow to explore expansive terrain, seeking answers in places and spaces others wouldn't dare venture. Whether they're white water rafting down a river in some undisclosed location or taking a pilgrimage to a sacred site to uncover secrets about an ancient civilization, Sagittarius' quest for knowledge knows no bounds.
