♐ (Sagittarius) is the ninth astrological sign in the Western zodiac. It is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The Sun is in this sign between 23 November and 21 December.
In Cirlot’s Dictionary of Symbols we read that
this is a cosmic symbol expressive of the complete man — he who is at once animal, spiritual and worthy of his divine origin. Man thus constitutes a link between heaven and earth, implying a state of tension which finds its symbolic expression in the arc (or rainbow). Sagittarius, the Centaur, or the Archer signify this triple nature of the symbol; the horse symbolizes the instinctive organism, the human part denotes the three higher principles embracing the monad as expressed by the arrow.
