Image by Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
The zodiac sign of SAGITTARIUS is associated with the month of November and it is represented by the archer. In some of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the archer is usually a centaur (half man, half horse) and is always shown in full flight with a bow and arrow about to be shot. Alternatively, the archer is represented by a man with no animal parts. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of SAGITTARIUS covers the period from about 22 November until 21 December.

Text Appearing Before Image:
a-tion beyond all the Chaldeans, told Arbaces, the prefect of Media, That he should be lord of that which Sardanapalus did then possess,since his birth was favoured, as he knew, with a lucky position ofthe stars.* Arbaces, encouraged by this hope, conspired with theBabylonians and Arabians: but the revolt being known, the rebelswere thrice overthrown by Sardanapalus. The confederates, amazed at so many unhappy chances, determinedto return home. But Belesus, having all night made observation ofthe stars, foretold that a considerable body of friends were comingto their assistance, and that, in a short time, affairs would go on moreprosperously. Thus confirmed, they waited the time set down byBelesus: in which it was told them, that the Bactrians were come inaid of the king. It seemed good to Arbaces and the rest to meet the Bactrians witha select body, and to persuade them to revolt, or to force them. Heprevailed without blows, and they joined with his forces. 201 ILLUSTRATION No. XVII.
