We explored the ancient Jyotish and having examined the ancient Kundali’s of Virgo to Scorpio, we continue with Sagittarius.
Constellation Sagittarius Origins
Sagittarius is a star constellation that form the image of a mounted archer, often shown as a centaur. Here are the stars forming Sagittarius. Can you see anything resembling a centaur, a horse, or an archer in this star photo?
Even if we connect the stars in ‘Sagittarius’ with lines it is still hard to ‘see’ the mounted archer. But this sign goes back as far as we know in human history.
Here is the zodiac in Egypt’s Dendera Temple, more than 2000 years old, with Sagittarius circled in red.
The National Geographic zodiac poster shows Sagittarius as seen in the Southern Hemisphere. Even after connecting the Sagittarius stars with lines it is hard to ‘see’ a rider or horse in this constellation.
As with the previous constellations, the image of the archer does not come from the star constellation itself. Rather, the first astrologers thought of the mounted archer beforehand, from something other than the stars. Then they placed this image as a sign into the constellation. Below is a typical Sagittarius image. But it is when we see Sagittarius with the surrounding constellations that we learn its meaning.
The Original Zodiac Story
The original zodiac was not a horoscope to guide your daily decisions towards good luck, health, love and fortune based on your birth time and the movement of the planets. The earliest humans remembered this plan by marking out the 12 zodiac constellations in the stars. Our earliest ancestors wanted us to see these constellations every night and remember the promises. Astrology originally was the study and knowledge of this story in the stars.
This Story began with the Seed of the Virgin in Virgo. It continued with the weighing scales of Libra, a reminder that our balance of deeds are too light requiring a payment to redeem our light deeds. Scorpio showed the tremendous struggle between the Seed of Virgo and the Scorpion. Theirs is a battle for the right to rule.
Sagittarius in the Zodiac Story
Sagittarius foretells how this struggle will end. We understand when we see Sagittarius with the surrounding constellations. It is this astrology context that reveals the meaning of Sagittarius.
The drawn arrow of Sagittarius points directly at the heart of Scorpio. It clearly shows the mounted archer destroying his mortal enemy. This was the meaning of Sagittarius in the ancient Zodiac.
The Sagittarius chapter in the written Story
The final victory of Jesus, the Seed of the Virgin, over his enemy is prophesied in the Bible to occur as pictured in Sagittarius. Here is the written prophecy of this triumph.
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:king of kings and lord of lords.17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Revelation 19: 11-21
And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Revelation 20:1-3
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:7-10
These first four signs of the Ancient Zodiac: Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius form an astrological unit within the 12 chapter Zodiac Story which focus on the coming ruler and his opponent. Virgo foretold his coming from the Seed of the Virgin. Libra foretold that our insufficient merit would require the payment of a price. Scorpio foretold the nature of that price. Sagittarius foretold his ultimate victory with the arrow of the archer pointing directly at the heart of the Scorpion.
These Signs were for all people, not just for those born in each constellation’s month. Sagittarius is for you even if you are not born between November 23 and December 21. The children of Manu/Adam placed them in the stars so we could know the ultimate triumph over the enemy and choose our allegiance accordingly. The first coming of Jesus fulfilled Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. The fulfilling of Sagittarius awaits his Second Coming. But with the accomplishment of the first three signs completed, we have a reason to trust that the Sagittarius Sign will likewise find its fulfillment.
The Ancient Sagittarius Horoscope
Horoscope comes from the Greek ‘Horo’ (hour) and the Bible marks these hours for us, including the Sagittarius ‘hour’. The Sagittarius horo reading is
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Matthew 24:36, 44
Jesus tells us that no one knows that precise hour (horo) of His return and the complete defeat of his enemy, except God. However, there are clues indicating the nearness of that hour. It says we are likely not going to be ready for it.
Your Sagittarius Reading
You and I can apply the Sagittarius horoscope reading today with the following guidance.
Sagittarius tells that us that you will face many distractions before the hour of the return of the Christ and the complete defeat of Satan. In fact, if you do not daily transform your mind by renewing it then you will be conformed to the standards of this world. Then that hour will hit you unexpectedly and you will not be compatible with Him at His Revealing. So if you do not want to reap all the terrible consequences of missing that hour you will need to make a conscious decision daily to prepare yourself. Take stock of whether you are mindlessly following the gossip and intrigues of the celebrities and soap operas. If so that will most likely result in traits such as slavery of your mind, loss of close relationships now, and certainly miss the hour of his return along with most others.
Your personality has both its strengths and weaknesses, but the enemy, who wants you to remain distracted, attacks you at your weak characteristics. Be it idle gossip, pornography, greed, or just wasting your time on social media, He knows the temptations that you will fall for. So pray for help and guidance so that you can walk the straight and narrow path and be ready for that hour. Seek out the few others who also do not want to miss that hour and together you can help each other daily so it does not come upon you unexpectedly.
