The name Sagittarius Rising has specific meaning pertaining to the work of Equine Assisted Therapy. In astrology, Sagittarius is represented by the centaur – half man, half horse. The horse is the animal, instinctual side and the man is the rational human side.  In today’s society, many people feel this split. The centaur represents a blending of the two. In Greek mythology, Chiron the centaur was the first true physician and could be considered the first Equine Assisted Therapist. Sagittarius is the spiritual disciple of the zodiac with a great craving to explore and understand life, always seeking to expand and enlarge consciousness.
