Imagine that each astrological sign has a 'guardian'  who is imbued with that sign's particular qualities.
But after millenia of just watching from the stars, these celestial chaps decide it's time to descend and pursue some of the earthly pleasures that their sign likes best...

I've shown Sagittarius in an unusual moment of stillness as he wonders where next to go for a little adventure. In his left hand an arrow, the symbol of sagittarius and also hunting, straight-talking and compasses/ finding one's way. His right hand rests idly on a globe of Jupiter, the ruler of his sign, upon which is overlaid a map of the earth.
