Sagittarius is a large southern constellation located in the brightest part of the Milky Way. It is the ninth sign of Zodiac. The most distinctive aspect of Sagittarius is the group of stars within it, which look like a teapot, complete with spout and handle. Sagittarius is often thought to represent a centaur, half man, half horse, and is associated with a mythological Chiron.
