In the northern hemisphere, Sagittarius appears during the time when the hours of darkness are lengthening, at time when winter is ushering the harsher elements of cold and snow and ice. It was the Egyptian sign of war, the time of year when the armies marched and generals laid plans for conquest. Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the Zodiac, is masculine and mutable fire, representing the blending of physical strength, energy and powerful intellect. She was usually depicted as a woman bent over Earth with her head in the West and feet in the East. She was the daughter of Shu, god of vital breath, and his wife Tefnut, goddess of heat. According to ancient Egyptian mythology, Nut (pronounced “newt”) is the goddess of the sky and heavens.
