Sagittarius is the final sign of the fire triplicity and is symbolized as a centaur archer, half-human, half-beast.  Sagittarius is a bicorporal and dual-bodied sign, meaning there are two figures in the sign's symbol - the bow and the centaur.  This doubling is said to signify a dual nature - in Sagittarius' case, the sign is both man and horse.  As such, Sagittarius represents intelligence and strength, philosophical contemplation and exploration.  The mutable quality of fire is present; thus Sagittarians need expansiveness, they are optimistic with a restless quality as if some challenge or adventure isn't present.  After all, the ruling planet IS Jupiter, with its expanding influence.  Sagittarius suns often have a love of travel, the outdoors and animals. 

In mythology, the centaur Chiron was a philosophy teacher, a sage and mentor to many accomplished students; he was also a healer.  The pursuit of truth and the sharing of that wisdom is a core attribute of the sign - aligning Sagittarius with academics, healing, seeking and spirituality.  Also, the primary activity of an archer is to land his or her mark with an almost mystical power of focus; it is an act that emits from a centered and concentrated energy in a very direct fashion.  Similarly, Sagittarius is known to be blunt and straight to the point.  A caregiver or guide that transmits that inner knowledge to the outer world in a straight and unswerving way.  

A phrase that signals Sagittarius energy is "I see..."
