The Emperorfor Sagittarius
"Structure isn't the enemy. Rigidity is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A figure sits on a firm chair in a rugged mountain area holding a scepter, orb and wearing a crown. The figure is ready to jump into action at a moment's notice
Look closer.
You are being called to action, leadership or power. A balance between action and emotions gives you mastery over the realm
You are blocked from taking action or true power by a disconnect. Either you are disconnected from your emotions (and are leading without balance) or you are disconnected from your own confidence to take action
The references to different rulers (the node to the Ankh, the scepter and sphere, the throne, the crown) all convey a stern authority. The stature invokes King Solomon judging who is the true mother of a child.

The Emperor for Sagittarius
The Seeker
Sagittarius is a Fire mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, whose natural subject is meaning, travel, belief, the long view, higher study. Mars against Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius is the harder planet arriving in the softer register. It will feel like being asked to do without something Sagittarius normally uses to smooth things over. Sagittarius is mutable: it adapts, and this is a card about beginning, so the start will be easy and the shape of it will keep changing. Upright, this is happening out in the visible world, where other people can see it and respond to it.
