Two placements of the western sky

Scorpio Sun, Sagittarius Moon

Your Sun in Scorpio wants the real version or none of it, and your Moon in Sagittarius keeps asking whether it even matters.

You feel it first and then need to do something about it immediately. Given a real outlet that reads as conviction; given none, it turns inward.

What each half is doing

The Sun in Scorpio: The Sun is what you are building a life around. Yours wants the real version or none of it — that is the water half of the pair, and it is the half other people describe when they describe you.
The Moon in Sagittarius: The Moon is what has to be in place before you can rest. Yours keeps asking whether it even matters — the fire half, and the one that rarely makes it into the introduction.

How the two of them move

You hold the position and adjust the reasons for it. From outside that reads as changing your mind. From inside, the position has not moved at all.

Element says what the two halves are made of. Mode says how they arrive — a fixed Sun and a mutable Moon are the same materials handled at two speeds, which is why two people with the same pair of elements can look nothing alike.

What this page cannot tell you

The Sun holds a sign for about a month, so a birth date settles it. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so anyone born near a crossover has to check the hour before trusting the Sagittarius half of this page. We would rather say that here than let you carry the wrong Moon around.

This is also one sky out of four. The Shaman reads your BaZi day master, the main star of your Purple Star life palace and the star that owns the Thai day you were born into alongside it, and the reading is what happens where those four disagree. Your Moon does not get a vote in that verdict. It changes the weather inside it.

How the four skies are counted

The same Sun, a different Moon

Eleven other people with your Sun and a different thing keeping them steady.

The same Moon, a different Sun

Same thing settles them. They are building something else with it.

Two placements, computed. The reading crosses four skies.

Your birth date and place settle this much for free. The rest needs your hour, and what all four skies add up to — the crossing, and the argument inside it — is the reading.
