Sagittarius (; , Latin for "archer") is the ninth astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Sagittarius and spans 240âÂÂ70th degrees of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this sign between approximately November 23 and December 21.
Along with Aries and Leo, Sagittarius is a part of the Fire Trigon as well as the last of the reproductive trinity. It also follows Gemini and Virgo as third of the mutable signs, which are the signs that feature changeable quality. When Sagittarius is depicted as an archer, then he is classified as human but when represented as a centaur, he is nonhuman (bestial). However, the classification of the astrological sign as a human or bestial does not carry practical consequences for interpretation.
As an archer, Sagittarius is said never to fail in hitting the mark and this depiction alludes to the power of prophecy, hence, the claim that seers and prophets are born in this sign.
It is the coat of arms of the Iranian city Isfahan.
