Description

Humans conceived of the universe as a number of circles. When they drew lines between the stars in the sky, they created 48 shapes of mythical creatures called constellations. These days we give special attention to the 12 constellations that occupy the ecliptic in the sky. These are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgin, Libra (Scales), Scorpion, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The symbol of Sagittarius, drawing based on reliefs from Dendera, Egypt. Babylonian Star-Lore. an Illustrated Guide to the Star-Lore and Constellations of Ancient Babylonia The Sun stays in each section for 30 degrees (one month). This is the basis of the solar calendar. Sagittarius (the Archer) is the ninth astrological sign. We learn that the earliest pictures of Sagittarius, as a horse-centaur armed with a bow, were discovered in ancient Egypt. The same symbol also appears in the ancient mosaics of Bursa, Turkey. Sagittarius was a simplified version of the Babylonian Pabilsagh. Pabilsagh was a mythical creature with a Scorpion’s tail, a number of wings, and the head of a dog. He is identified with the god Ninurta who drove souls into the afterlife.
