SAGITTARIE, SAGITTARIUS, the constellation the Archer or the Centaur, is the ninth sign of the zodiac and the day house of Jupiter (Tetrabiblos I.17). It is the hot and dry sign (Confessio Amantis VII.1141-1168). A large constellation in the southern hemisphere near Scorpius, it is called a sign of the south. It is the largest portion of the Milky Way, our galaxy.

Sagittarius is one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, Astr I.8.4. It lies directly opposite Gemini, Astr II.6.16. The signs from the head or beginning of Cancer to the end of Sagittarius are called "sovereign" or western signs and take more than two hours to rise above the horizon, Astr II.28.35. Capricorn obeys the sign Sagittarius, Astr II.28.38. [Jupiter]
