If you were born November 23 — December 21, you are a Sagittarius!

Sagittarius is the half-human half-horse archer with his arrow aimed directly at the physical or mental object of his attention. In myth, this creature was the ­centaur Cheiron who, sired by Zeus, the king of heaven, became the tutor of Jason, Achilles and Aeneas.

The archer is also celebrated as a great physician, intellect and psychic. Within the realm of both physical and mental power, the archer is second to none. Take the ­mental power of Gemini and combine it with the lusty ­passions of Scorpio and you have Sagittarius. Versatile? Very! He or she can hold several jobs, manage ­a number of projects, take vigorous exercise, and still retain a curious, almost scientific approach to life.

While the archer is in constant search of something, that thing need not be a corporeal item. ­Sagittarians are always looking for the reason why, the motivation, the driving action and the intellectual force behind an act. Above all, this sign seeks personal freedom. Without it the archer cannot foresee, act, understand, or create. This sign moves through life as if on a quest, wild and untamed in youth, wise and giving in age. Sagittarians occupy a unique position in the zodiac, able to both feel and understand the pulse of the most powerful currents of life.

Romance? The archer’s arrow hits others like Cupid’s dart.  Read more details about Sagittarius in our “East Meets West” book series.
