Sagittarius the Archer: Earthology’s Centaur
A centaur draws a bow above the forward movement of its horse body. The long diagonal of the arrow contrasts with the curved back and raised human arms. The source identifies Diagram No. 19 in Raphael’s Earthology. The combined archer and animal supply the familiar pictorial form of Sagittarius within the book’s zodiac sequence.
