The 16 Spirit Animals of Sagittarius

Sagittarius is not one animal. It is sixteen, and which one is yours depends on your personality type.

Dates 22 November - 21 December Element Fire Modality Mutable Ruler Jupiter Symbol the Archer
Sagittarius is the archer, half horse, and the bestiary is horses - real ones, extinct ones, and the mythic ones that horses turned into once people started telling stories about them. From the Przewalski's horse, the last truly wild horse on earth, to the unicorn and the kelpie.

The animals of Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the Archer, half horse in most depictions, so the bestiary is horses. Real ones, extinct ones, and the mythic ones that horses turned into once people started telling stories about them. It holds the last truly wild horse on earth, a zebra subspecies that no longer exists, and at the far end a unicorn, a pegasus and a kelpie. No other sign attracted this much legend, and that is not an accident. Horses have carried human imagination further than any other animal.

You move between worlds that others treat as separate and you leave each one slightly changed by your having passed through. The Kiang of the Ash Plateau is the largest wild ass on Earth, inhabiting the Tibetan Plateau at altitudes above 4,000 metres in herds that shift composition constantly, individuals moving between groups, territories, and elevations in patterns that resist any simple classification.

How Sagittarius is read here

Mutable fire ruled by Jupiter. Mutable signs move between states and Jupiter expands whatever it touches, which is a fair description of a horse at full gallop across open country. The bestiary is the most geographically restless of the twelve, full of animals that cover distance as a way of life.
