Description

Sagittarius or The Archer is the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is considered a 'masculine', positive and extrovert sign. It is also a fire sign and one of the four mutable signs. Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is identified as a centaur: half human, half horse. In some legends, the Centaur Chiron was the son of Philyra and Saturn, who was said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea. Chiron was eventually immortalized in the constellation of Centaurus or in some versions, Sagittarius. Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected.The vices to which Sagittarians are prone are anger they tend to flare up over trifles. They may be exacting, domineering and inconsiderate. Being one of the luckiest signs, fortune seems to favour them, whether they plan things or not. They feel as if they can't possibly lose. This almost cocky attitude is something that attracts people to them. This is a collage with a Renaissance sky globe from the Vatican Museums and a Roman bronze statue of a Centaur from the National Roman Museum. Thanks for your kind comments.

Outstanding image! I really thought it was one picture. Except for being angry, domineering and inconsiderate your description of Sagittarius fits my father perfectly.
