Sagittarius November 22 to December 21 A t the heart of Sagittarian lore stands the centaur Chiron, the figure of philosopher and teacher within Greek mythology. As a centaur, Chiron personifies the very soul of Sagittarius.

The glyph represents an arrow slung in a bow, aiming at the stars. This symbol corresponds with the Sagittarian ideals of cosmic progress and abundance. The ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter.

They combine a savage and untamed animal nature with an ancient wisdom of human culture. The wisest, and in some references, oldest of the centaurs was Chiron. Rather than selfishly retain this knowledge, Chiron tutored the great heroes of Greece. Among his charges were non less than Achilles, Acteon, Jason and Hercules. In a tragic irony, Chiron was wounded with a poisoned arrow by his student and friend, Hercules. Being immortal, the centaur's agony was unbearable. Chiron forsook his immortality, and gave the mantle to Prometheus. Zeus set Chiron's image in the night sky to honor the memory of this noble teacher. To this day we recognize his form as the constellation of Sagittarius.                 Famous Sagittarians Michel de Notre Dame 'Nostradamus' (December 14, 1503) French Doctor, Astrologer, Legendary Prophet Akbar (December 3, 1542) Indian Mogul Emperor Tycho Brahe (December 14, 1546) Danish Court Astrologer to King Frederick II Credited with refining planetary calculations.
