Zodiac Tile - Sagittarius

We are proud to offer this high quality ceramic tile featuring the fifth sign of the Zodiac: Sagittarius. This magnificent symbol is depicted with carved gold and embossed jewelled red lacquer against a leather background. The four suns struck in gold represent the totality of the seasons. At the centre of each sun is the embedded Sagittarius birthstone: turquoise (depicted). With stunningly accurate photo-realism, the illustration work emblazoned into the tile makes it a wonder to behold. Designed by Joseph Maas Fun fact: Sagittarius is seasonally associated with the transition from autumnal moisture to mid-winter dryness. Because its period indicates a change of season, it is known as a "mutable sign" describing an instinct toward change and an easy ability to modify or adapt to the demands of the environment. The sign is governed by Jupiter, a planet which is symbolically associated with temperate qualities which loosen, relax and expand. Sagittarius is also linked with the "element of fire," which represents outgoing, action-oriented energy that seeks spontaneous expression. As the mutable fire sign, governed by an expansive planet, the symbolic focus of the sign is connected to the principle of exploration and evolution. Correspondingly, Sagittarians are reputed to be drawn toward travel and philosophy, and to enjoy social contacts, meeting new people and exploring other cultures. They are said to be highly intelligent, broad-visioned, tolerant in their views, mainly concerned with the "big picture" but with little patience for the details. Joanna Watters (2003) defined a key phrase for this sign as "I seek" and describes Sagittarius as "the sign of the higher mind ... the pursuit of wisdom and search for meaning are just as important as new places and experiences". Like all the fire signs, Sagittarius can be idealistic in vision but tactless in expression. They are known for their bluntness yet are often unaware of their ability to cause anguish in others. -- Source: Wikipidia.org
