Sagittarius decan 2: the decan lords of both systems

Sagittarius decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Sagittarius, the middle ten degrees. In the Chaldean system each ten-degree slice has a lord called the face, and here it is the Moon.

The Moon as face lord gives the middle of Sagittarius a restless emotional life. Feelings need movement, fresh places and a bigger story than the daily routine, and moods lift quickly with a trip, a walk somewhere new or a good conversation. Staying in one setting for long feels like being shut in. Reassurance comes through freedom and honesty, and a person who asks too many questions about where you are going can bring the mood down.

A planet here tends to emphasise the emotional need for space and change. In practice, you feel better after a long walk somewhere new, and a weekend with nothing planned leaves you more restless than rested.

Sagittarius decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Sagittarius, the middle ten degrees. In the triplicity system its sub-sign is Aries, and its lord is Mars, the traditional ruler of Aries.

Sagittarius coloured by Aries sharpens the enthusiasm of the sign into action. Beliefs are acted on at once, and the search for meaning is physical: moving, travelling, competing. Frankness is blunt, and patience for details is short. This part of Sagittarius is the fastest to say yes to a plan and the quickest to be on its way, and it prefers to learn by doing a thing badly now rather than studying it well first.

A planet here tends to emphasise acting on conviction. In practice, you pack the bag the night before, start the hike at dawn, and say what you think in the first five minutes of a meeting.
