ABOUT THE SAGITTARIUS SET (by the artiste, Moyra) If there is any one zodiacal energy that carries wisdom (and foolishness) forward into the world, it is the cosmic centaur, Sagittarius. This strange dichotomy often puzzled me, until I payed closer attention to the mythology surrounding centaurs. They were often teachers and healers, and yet, when they encountered mind altering substances such as alcohol, they went off on senseless and definitely *un*-evolved rampages. No, this is not to say that those born under the sign of Sagittarius are all way-showers who go berserk every so once in a while, but it does illustrate one of the principles that moves the universe: he or she who stands in the brightest light casts the deepest Shadow. The nature of the first feeds the nature of the second, and our spirirtual, mental, physical and emotional evolution hangs in the balance of these two energies within. Integrating foolishness, the Shadow side of wisdom, through humor (and as one of my own Sagittarian teachers once said about it, "Ya gotta have this stuff to survive...") is one of the greatest areas of expertise of the evolved Sagittarian energy. Based on this insight, a note of very Jupiterian cosmic advice: strive to be just a little irreverent, to find fun and evoke laughter even in the darkest hour, and you will become the wise and healing kind of centaur, arrow firmly aimed at the brightest star, showing the way for us poor sods who know no better than to self-importantly believe that we are the *only* sentient life form in the universe. The symbol for Sagittarius and for its ruler, Jupiter, are included as the bullets and the bar of this set, as is one of the minerals associated with it, agate, and its stone, the fire opal. The color choices... welll... hmmm...okay, they are not strictly conventional. I associate Sagittarius with the wisdom chakra, which in those who have this center highly developed, is indigo blue. Traditional Sagittarian colors are said to be saffron and scarlet - the first seems much more leonine to me, and the second is very martian/arian. Once again, I plead the Aquarian defense regarding the preponderance of indigo blue. My Sun and Mercury in Aquarius made me do it ;->
