Sagittarius 2nd decan (December 2–11): personality and meaning
Mars arms the arrow of the second decan of Sagittarius: you don’t just aim at the horizon, you set out to conquer it.
Born between about December 2 and 11, on a date that varies with the year and time of birth, you belong to the second decan of Sagittarius, colored by Mars. Jupiterian expansion turns into conquering energy here: you’re the combative Sagittarius, the one who defends convictions with fire, who acts more than contemplates and who loves taking on physical and moral challenges. Your courage is spontaneous, your frankness cutting, your independence fierce. More impulsive than the first decan, you’re also more concrete: you want results, not just ideals.
In your love life, you’re passionate, direct, conquering: you declare your feelings quickly and expect a lively relationship, full of shared activities and common challenges. Boredom and passivity put you out; energy and honesty set you on fire. Professionally, the second decan of Sagittarius shines in sports, entrepreneurship, field reporting, the military, activism, adventure, professional training. Your relationships are frank and dynamic; you’re the friend who drags everyone along on a hike, who fights for a cause to the end and who says what they think without detours.
Your growth runs through diplomacy. Mars and Jupiter make an ardent duo, and your frankness can turn cutting, your conviction can slide into intolerance, your impatience can make you leave the table too soon. Learn to hear a different position as an invitation to widen your own, and to choose the right moment to say things.
