Positions
Descendant in Sagittarius
Modern
With Sagittarius on your Descendant you are drawn to partners who are honest, optimistic, and adventurous, the ones who widen your horizons and refuse a small life. You look across at someone who carries meaning, philosophy, or distance, often because that reaching faith is what you most want a partner to bring. The shadow is needing endless room or chasing the partner who will not be pinned down, mistaking restlessness for freedom, or projecting your own quest, until you find growth inside commitment.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
With Sagittarius on the seventh cusp the partner is signified by Jupiter in his diurnal house and shows as a generous, honest, and freedom-loving figure of breadth, often a foreigner or a fellow seeker. The native is drawn to a mate who opens the larger view and is well matched when Jupiter is dignified, but when the lord is afflicted the bond grows preachy or restless and the open enemy overbold. Read Jupiter by sign, house, and aspect for the spouse and the adversary alike.
