Sagittarius
Pictures by Charles F. Blunt
Sagittarius the Archer, a golden centaur drawing his bow across a navy sky scattered with stars, from Charles F. Blunt's The Beauty of the Heavens of 1842. The centaur takes aim at the Scorpion's heart, and the centre of our galaxy lies hidden in this constellation behind the thickest clouds of the Milky Way. For a Sagittarius born between November 22 and December 21.
