• the 6th house by its 5th aspect: it brings help and good counsel to work, health and rivals; that house is Aries, ruled by Mars, so speed is what it touches.

• the 8th house by its 7th aspect: it protects and expands transformation and hidden matters; that house is Gemini, ruled by Mercury, so curiosity is what it touches.

• the 10th house by its 9th aspect: it blesses career and status with growth; that house is Leo, ruled by the Sun, so warmth is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Sagittarius in parts

The degree matters too: Sagittarius is divided between these nakshatras, whose lords bring their Scorpio-rising houses into play:

• 0°–13°20′ Sagittarius: Mula, ruled by Ketu, which adds detachment and intuition; its gift is getting to the root, its shadow destructiveness.

• 13°20′–26°40′ Sagittarius: Purva Ashadha, under Venus, which for Scorpio rising rules the 7th and 12th, so expenses, foreign lands and retreat enter the reading; in love it is persuasive and idealistic in love, and needs to feel admired.

In the 2nd Jupiter blesses family life and sweet, wise speech; a match supported by both families and built on shared values tends to grow steadily.
