Her Piercing Eyes Saggitarius It is with a sense of adventure that the figure in Sagittarius walks through a darkened doorway into the unknown. Sagittarians are lovers of fun, travel and brave searchers of truth and knowledge. The figure has been caught momentarily on her undisclosed journey, the determination in her face highlighted by the unwavering flame of the candle. She is the embodiment of the Sagittarian phrase “I See”. There is however, tension within this scene. The figure gambles with the amount of light left in the candle, with the need to make her journey. She holds the tin (the Sagittarius metal) chamber stick with assurance. The red halo around the flame leads the other colour tones within the painting, heightening the edgy, powerful sense of excitement and ambitious energy contained within the figure. Sagittarians are governed by the mighty planet of Jupiter, the ruler of the ancient gods, known to the Greeks as Zeus. The candle’s flame triumphantly lights up the gemstone constellation embroidered with exquisite detail on the dress. The figure has great presence. She is a woman of bearing and prosperity, beautifully groomed and independent. Like those born under this ninth house sign, status and the trappings of wealth are important. The dignified ruby, her birthstone, sits proudly around her neck. The Sagittarian colours of maroon, navy, orange and cobalt blue richly underline her material assets.
