THE SYMBOL
“A round-cheeked little boy rocks happily on his wooden hobby-horse.”
Sagittarius 25° · Sabian symbols, devised 1925 (Marc Edmund Jones, clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler)
Remember to round up: a planet or point at 9°30′ takes the 10° symbol, not the 9° one.
What this degree describes
The whole grown adventure this sign is famous for starts, honestly, in exactly this kind of small, imaginary gallop, a child fully convinced the wooden horse under him is really going somewhere. Sagittarius never really outgrows this particular joy, the pleasure of imagined distance covered from a completely safe, stationary spot. There is nothing to correct in the image, the horse does not need to be real for the delight to be.
When a planet or point falls here
A planet at this degree often shows a genuinely undamaged capacity for imaginative joy, adventure that does not require literal travel to feel completely real. Venus or the Moon here can indicate someone who has kept real, uncomplicated delight in play well into adulthood. It rewards trusting that the imagined gallop is still doing real work in you.
What wooden horse are you still happily riding, that has never once needed to be a real one to bring you joy?
