The strict teacher · Fire, mutable

Believing in something takes work for you. Either you grew up inside a closed truth and had to take it apart piece by piece, or you grew up without any and spent years with that tiresome question of what all this is for. The faith that comes, when it comes, is built by hand: it has passed through doubt, reading and experience.

The light of this placement

You end up with convictions that withstand challenge, which is rare: you think slowly, change your mind in the face of an argument and sell no miracles to anyone.

The shadow — what to work on

Midway, you swing between the skepticism that cuts everything off at the root and the rigidity of someone clinging to a system of ideas so as not to feel the emptiness.

Saturn: what it means in the chart

It shows where you mature slowly and where your word counts for more because it has been tested.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the question 'what for?'. It isn't enough to work: it has to mean something. It's the sign of the journey, of the study that becomes a worldview, of the conversation that starts with football and ends in philosophy. People with it strong wither from boredom when life shrinks, and can bear almost any hardship if it serves something they believe in.
