Sagittarius is not an animal, but a zodiac sign represented by a mythical half-human and half-animal figure, the centaur. The centaur is a creature from Greek mythology that has a human head, torso, and arms, and a horses body and legs. The chief qualities of Sagittarius are their fun-loving nature, luckiness, adventurous spirit, and innate wisdom. While Sagittarius is not associated with a specific animal, it is often associated with many animal spirits in western astrology, such as the horse, rat, wolf, hawk, and owl. These animals embody different facets of Sagittarius personality, such as the horses free-spirited nature, the owls wisdom and guidance, and the wolfs intelligence, freedom, and instinct.
