Lit From Both Ends
Sagittarius aims far. Big plays, big personality, and a locker room honesty that doesn't always check the room first. His Moon is in Aries, so the emotional reset takes about four seconds. Competitive to the core and impatient with anything slow. Depending on the hour, his Sun and Moon could flow together. If so, very little inner conflict. Fire outside and fire inside means there's no gap between what he feels and what he does. The risk is running hot when the game asks for cool.
- The Dragon was born for the big stage and knows it. Yang Metal is the blade: decisive, direct, and built to cut through.
- Life path 11, a master number. Intuitive, inspiring, and running on a higher voltage.
- Between the lines: plays with his hair on fire, in the best way. Effort is never the question.
