"THE MOON IN SAGITTARIUS. ☽ in ♐. This gives a quick, restless and unsettled manner, either of body or mind; the native is active in body and fond of physical exercise and sports, is inclined to travel, and is a quick walker and worker. He changes his abode frequently, and his disposition is candid and honourable, kindly and good-humoured, while he is sincere in his religious belief even if it be unorthodox. There is some inclination for mysticism, psychism, and the occult; he is a natural teacher or preacher, and has something of the prophet in his nature. The intuition is active, and there may be some psychic gift, such as clairvoyance, though there is a tendency to dreaming and somnambulism. There will be talent or even genius for religion, philosophy, music, or poetry. In the lower type of horoscope the animal nature of the sign will be to the fore, and then occupations and amusements connected with shipping and horses will be prominent in the life. A faithful worker or servant, he himself benefits by servants or those under him. He is likely to have two occupations, or to change his occupation"

"THE SUN IN ARIES AND MOON IN SAGITTARIUS. ☉ in ♈. I.—ix. ☽ in ♐. This is a very good combination, the fiery triplicity being well represented. It gives a very quick, sympathetic and inspirational nature, with a tendency to go to extremes, especially in physical matters, while there is always a certain amount of restlessness and hastiness, especially in speech. It intensifies the religious inclinations, it strengthens the sincerity and straightforwardness of the personality, and gives very strong tendencies to prophesy or speak accurately, yet unconsciously so, in regard to the future. It gives impulsiveness and some exaggeration, also a tendency to chatter. The native is changeable, irresolute, given to enthusiasms that do not last; though he has plenty of energy and determination while he is in the mood. Is generous and humanitarian; can feel for others, and will help them if he can. A natural tendency to religion of some kind, but this may easily take an unorthodox direction if planets incline thereto. More vital energy than stamina; the tendency to go to excess may weaken the health, but with a strong horoscope and good aspects there may be a long and full life. This combination gives some skill in musical performance, and fits those under its influence to become good teachers or preachers: it is also good for travelling and exploration. It brings benefit through religious matters and the Church"
