La constelación de Sagitario, Wiki Dominio Público
Sagitario es un signo de fuego mutable, regido por el planeta gigante Júpiter, planeta de la expansión, la ambición y la oportunidad.
Este signo es el tercer y último signo de fuego del año, y marca también el inicio del último tercio del año zodiacal, que termina con Piscis
Sagitario es el Arquero, el Cazador, el Viajero, el Filósofo, el Vidente, el Profeta y un eterno estudiante de la vida, que apunta alto y lejos.
Todos los signos del zodiaco representan arquetipos, es decir, algo que se considera un ejemplo perfecto o típico de un determinado tipo de persona o cosa.
La astrología occidental o tropical se basa en las estaciones del hemisferio norte, mientras que la védica o sideral, que se practica principalmente en la India, y la oriental se basan en las posiciones de las propias constelaciones.
Los signos del zodiaco pintan un retrato «típico» de una persona nacida en un momento determinado del año, en una estación concreta.
Un bebé nacido en verano, por ejemplo, llega a un entorno físico distinto del de un bebé nacido en invierno; con diferencias en la dieta de los padres, las temperaturas y las horas de luz, etc., con toda una serie de posibles efectos físicos.
Esta época del año era el momento de la caza.
Se recogían y terminaban las cosechas del año.
La carne se cazaba y se colgaba, se curaba y se salaba para los meses más hambrientos que se avecinaban.

Pero si la astrología occidental se basa en las estaciones del hemisferio norte, ¿qué ocurre si vivimos en el hemisferio sur?
Hay varias teorías al respecto, pero ninguna respuesta clara.
Algunos astrólogos han sugerido que si has nacido en el hemisferio sur y tu signo del zodiaco no te parece adecuado, busques tu signo opuesto y pruebes a ver si te parece que encaja mejor.

La imagen de Sagitario es el arquero o el centauro.
Puede ser interesante saber que existe otra constelación llamada Centauro.
El mito griego sugiere que Sagitario puede haberse basado, no en un centauro, sino en un fauno, Krotos, que era un excelente arquero y un mecenas de las artes, amigo de las Nueve Musas.
Una historia dice que fue Krotos quien inventó la tradición de aplaudir una representación.
La carta de los arcanos mayores del Tarot que representa a Sagitario es la Templanza, que denota la curación, la moderación, la paciencia, el arte del compromiso y el arte de la buena sincronización (crucial para toda buena toma de decisiones y para el éxito de una cacería).
La carta de la corte de Sagitario es el aventurero Caballero de Bastos, que lleva su capa amarilla decorada con salamandras o dragones de fuego.

Sagittarius is a potential highflyer, like an arrow, well-aimed, hardworking and clever.
They have an enlarged curiosity, always learning.
And they are adventurous and progressive and work best in teams within large organizations.
They tend to be good at earning money, but not so good at saving it, generally due to impulse buying.
And they need plenty of physical activity outdoors and to be in contact with nature.
They tend to be animal lovers.
At home, they tend to be happier married than single, and they are co-operative, fun, efficient, and reliable partners but they can be detached, reserved, restless and impulsive, and they sometimes fail in consideration to their partner in their search for independent fun, seeking new adventures outside the home.
They may be psychic; religious or spiritually inquiring, with a prophetic or visionary gift which they may express through music, writing, animal connections, or group endeavors for some common cause.
But of course, there is no such thing in reality as THE Sagittarius personality.
You are a unique individual.
Your zodiac sign (sun sign) is a major keynote, but it is nothing like the full picture in real life – or even in astrology.
There are many other factors in play, your rising sign, your Moon sign, and the planets in your houses, elements, modes, aspects, transits, and so on.
If you don’t feel like a ‘typical’ Sagittarius, perhaps you are a second or third decan Sagittarius, rather than a ‘most typical’ first decan Sagittarius.
¿Qué son los Decanos?
The Zodiac is the arc of the sky we look up and see from earth, which tracks the path of the sun across the sky from dawn till dusk, day in and day out throughout the year.
We call this pathway of the sun ‘the ecliptic,’ and the zodiac belt follows this same pathway.
The zodiac belt is 16 degrees deep or across with the ecliptic running along the middle, rather like a layer of cream in a layer cake.
The layers of this cake are 8 degrees above the sun’s pathway- the cream filling of the ecliptic, and 8 degrees below.
The Greeks divided this zodiac belt into twelve sections, choosing this number for ease of arithmetic, and named them after constellations found along this same pathway.
There are more than twelve constellations, above the ecliptic, or straddling it or below it, but the zodiac signs named after them, recorded by Eudoxus of Cnidus and Ptolemy of Alexandria get their name from just twelve, again, for reasons of arithmetic.
Each zodiac sign represents a 30-degree section of this 360-degree belt.
Each sign is then sub-divided into three blocks of ten degrees, roughly ten days in length.
This gives us the decans of the zodiac, nicknamed ‘the thirty-six faces of astrology.’ The decans break down each zodiac sign into three sub-chapters, shining just a little extra light on the story of that sign.
Card Meanings: speed, changes, news, sudden developments, arrivals, departures, or situations that may prove to be short-lived- a ‘flash in the pan.’
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, progress, ambition, and optimism is both the ruler and sub-ruler of this decan.
There is idealism and a love of knowledge here.
Sagittarius-Sagittarius is an enthusiast for life, upbeat, spontaneous, and fun.
They are highly competitive, and don’t like to lose, with intellectual capabilities of a high order and a keen sense of justice,
There is often a fascination with medicines, shamanism of any kind, and an interest in ancient cultures and their healing traditions.
Sagittarius loves wide-open spaces, fresh air, and being close to nature.
Sagittarius-Sagittarius is outgoing, yet actually rather private and reserved, not easy to get to know well.
They can be the life and soul of the party, but when it comes down to it, they confide in very few.
Famous first decan Sagittariussubjects: Winston Churchill, Pablo Escobar, Tina Turner, CS Lewis, Britney Spears, Gianni Versace
Second Decan Sagittarius
Sagittarius-Aries
Dates: 1 December-11 December
Planetary rulers: Mars and Moon (Aries Triplicity)
Mars brings to this decan an adventurous spirit, energy, courage, and ambition.
This decan could be an explorer or adventurer but does well in business and commerce with marked executive abilities.
They are natural sportspeople or soldiers.
And they are often highly physically attractive to others, and though they are reserved, and may even push people away, guarding their space, they are passionate when in love with a reputation as potential heartbreakers.
They are also known for having a bit of a short fuse, and for bearing grudges.
And they need to spend plenty of time outdoors and need lots of physical activity to be at their best.
Second Decan Sagittarius is kind and courageous, clever, good with their hands, quick with their minds, technically proficient, independent, and no matter how rough a time they are having, as with the first decan, they will usually keep that to themselves, showing their best face to the world.
Famous Second Decan Sagittarius subjects: John Kerry, Kirk Douglas, Jim Morrison, Tyra Banks, John Malkovich
Third Decan Sagittarius
Sagittarius-Leo
Dates: 12 December-21 December
Planetary ruler: The Sun and Saturn (Leo Triplicity)
Card Meanings: effort, determination, shouldering a burden, ‘going to town,’ ‘taking it to town.’
Ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system, this person is rather like the sun in their own environment.
They are the center of their universe.
There is a great love of change and a desire for reform.
This decan is full of enterprise and novel ideas.
They are realists, possibly cynics, but they are very much in tune with their instincts and can make great researchers, investigators, or teachers.
And they are not known for small talk.
They say what they think, and this can give them a reputation for being rude or judgemental.
They may have a dark sense of humor.
But their sub-ruler, the Sun, which stands for warmth, pride, and vitality, joining up with beneficent Jupiter means they have initiative combined with magnetism, and when they feel like it, a talent for making other people laugh.
(Not that there was much funny about Stalin but, every zodiac sign has its seriously bad boys and girls)
Famous Decan 3 Sagittarius: Jane Austen, Beethoven, Nostradamus, Joseph Stalin, Steven Spielberg
