The modern constellation Sagittarius lies across two of the quadrants, symbolized by the Azure Dragon of the East (東方青龍, Dōng Fāng Qīng Lóng) and Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.
The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 人馬座 (rén mǎ zuò), which means "the horse-man constellation".
