Individuals born when the sun was in this sign are considered Sagittarius individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun enters Sagittarius on November 23 and exits by definition at the moment of winter solstice on December 21. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from December 16 to January 14.
[edit] Compatibilities
Generally, the Sagittarius sign are considered to be compatible with other signs such as, Aries, Leo, Gemini, Libra, Virgo, Aquarius and other Sagittarius. There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the Sun, the Moon, Stars, etc. The signs listed as compatible with Sagittarius do not reflect an individual profile or individual reading as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as Qualities and Elements within the Zodiac.[3] The branch of astrology dealing with non-interpersonal compatibilities is called Synastry according to Jerishria Colonia-Samson.[edit] Mythology
In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is identified as a centaur: half human, half horse. In some legends, the Centaur Chiron was the son of Philyra and Saturn, who was said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea. Chiron was eventually immortalised in the constellation of Centaurus or in some version, Sagittarius.The arrow of this constellation points towards the star Antares, the "heart of the scorpion".
