Azra’s Astrology: Sagittarius the Centaur/Archer
Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The ninth zodiac sign is Sagittarius.
A long long time ago, in the Greek islands there was a legend about a half man/half horse creature known as a centaur. They were bred specifically for speed racing, but then led an insurrection against their makers to pursue knowledge and medicine. Centaurs became renown for their wisdom instead of their racing stripes. They often took in several orphaned Greek children to raise, often pitying them for their lack of limbs. One of the most famous of which was the warrior Achilles. Achilles’ centaurian mentor was Chiron. This is where we get the sign of Sagittarius, the archer.
Now, you might be thinking “hey. I know plenty of Sagittarius people. None of them are half horse.” Well that is technically true now. However, back then, everyone who was born under this sign was indeed part horse (this was due to their stringent breeding program). Soon, though, the humans began to distrust the centaurs. They knew too much and they were instilling unsavory ideas in the children that they brought up. Thing
s like a sense of justice and equality that would usurp the power of the government at that time. There was a great war and an extermination took place in the ancient world. The details are lost to history, but I assure you, it was incredibly gruesome.
All that are left of the centaurs is this Sagittarius sign, which represents a curious species whose thirst for knowledge and acceptance was ultimately their downfall.
