3° Venus in Sagittarius. Inclination toward philosophy. Self-denial, unsociability, moderation, pessimism. Desire for solitude. Danger of suffocation (P. Globa). A particularly scattered spirit (J. Kefer). Planning (N. Devore). “A group of builders in a small village agrees on assistance from neighbors” — a sense of community expressed through combined fundamental efforts. Cooperation (D. Rudhyar). “Bravado.” Indicates a person who repeatedly tries their luck, driven by vanity. May travel extensively, either in reality or in thought (B. Izraelit).

Mars degree. “A blacksmith strikes a hammer on an anvil; blinding sparks illuminate everything around in bright light.” — Indicates one who seeks to bring the light of truth into a world of darkness. Such a person is not satisfied with gradually accumulating gratitude from those they have convinced — though this is pleasant, it is not what they truly desire. They need to awaken many from slumber, and the blows they strike against the inertia of the material world will bring light to earth, comparable to the brilliance of stars. This is the symbol of Breakthrough (I. Kosminsky).
