Decan Images:

Yavanajataka: A pale-hued warrior whose eyes are pitiless to his enemies. He is clothed in white. His head is like an elephant’s. He has arrows for weapons, and he knows the purposes of minerals and mercury. His limbs are heavy and hairy.

Liber Hermetis: A two-headed face and a lotus of the kings on its head. In the compass of the lotus there are stars of the splendour of gold. He has also in his right hand a water jug which is called life, in his left a sceptre the extremity of which is bifurcated. This decan is clothed in linen and he treads under both feet a tortoise entirely covered with a net.

Brihat Jatakas: A woman with red cloth, fond of ornaments and food, bot-belly, horse-face, thirsty and single-footed.

Samhita Skanda Sutras: A woman wearing red garments, pot-like in shape, with canine face, ugly feet and sore eyes.

Picatrix: A woman dressed in green clothes and lacking in one leg. And this is a face of high rank, nobility, worth, and kingship. Or…a woman wearing a scarf and dressed in red, with also just one foot on the floor, her face resembling a lively and angry horse. She is looking for her son, clothes, ornaments and her daughter.

Ibn Ezra: The figure of a woman draped in clothes and a mantle, and she has one leg, and she has the form of a horse. Agrippa: A woman, outwardly cloathed with a red garment, and under it a white, spreading abroad over her feet, and the image causeth nobleness, height of a Kingdom, and greatness of dominion.

Bruno: A woman, not unattractive, wearing a white tunic, and over that a cloak dyed in truly imperial purple. her hair hangs freely and is crowned with laurel.

Crowley: A green-clad woman, with one leg bare from ankle to knee.

Rulership: Chaldean: Sun Triplicity: Sun

Daimons/deities/spirits:

Persephone, Lady of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring (the Seasons), and New Growth. In Hellenistic Greece, this would be the time of year the first buds planted back in Sagittarius would have begun to sprout, covering the land in a delicate layer of green. There’s maybe a sense here of homecoming to the self, to stepping into a role that fits well and engages our abilities unlike before, of leveling up to reach a new plateau of potential. There’s a finding of a sense of mastery, of growing into the self, of comfort or grace walking through the world wherein we find ourselves. This easily draws in the decanic imagery of the woman in green or red, standing on one foot (as others have pointed out before me it evokes a new sprout emerging from the soil, standing upon the single leg of its stem).
