# Sagittarius — How to Read Your Sky (What Actually Happens)

## A Coordinate, Not a Verdict

The ledger opens. Sagittarius is a thirty-degree band of the ecliptic, the Sun's yearly path across the sky. The Sun crosses it from about November twenty-second to December twenty-first. "Your sign" means the Sun stood in that band when you were born. That is a coordinate. It is not a verdict, and never a promise.

## Tropical, Not Stellar

The band is tropical: measured from the March equinox, not from the star pattern behind it. Precession has slid the constellations about twenty-four degrees since the system was fixed, so the sign and the stars no longer overlap. Both are real. They measure different things, and honest reading keeps them apart.

## Moon, Ruler, Crossing

To read your sky today, take three positions. The Moon's sign, which changes every two or three days and sets the tone of the day. Your ruler, Jupiter, and whether it is moving direct or retrograde. Then any planet crossing Sagittarius. Position first, tradition second, interpretation third, choice last.

## One Sentence You Can Check

Tonight, name one thing the Moon's sign is asking of you, in one sentence you could check tomorrow, and write it down. Sagittarius asks how far you range before you settle. The fire element and the mutable mode are the tradition's words for that; the check is yours.

## The Sky Is Real
