Sagittarius is the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. In western astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. Sagittarius is classed as a positive or masculine, extrovert sign; its element is fire and its quality is mutable. Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter.

Individuals born when the sun was in this sign are considered Sagittarius individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun is in Sagittarius roughly from November 22 to December 21. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from December 16 to January 14.
