Charubel's image is a confrontation between two large predators: a lion, tail erect, running toward a panther, the encounter caught in the moment of approach rather than at its outcome. Neither animal is shown yielding; the picture holds two considerable forces on a collision course without settling which, if either, prevails.
The tail held erect is a specific detail worth noting, a sign in large cats of alertness and readiness rather than of fear, suggesting confidence rather than desperation in the charge. Sagittarius, ruled by a planet long associated with kingship and expansive confidence, finds a fitting image here in a lion committing fully to a contest whose result the picture withholds, boldness pictured as its own value regardless of what actually follows the charge.
The phrasing now attached to this degree in general circulation follows Dane Rudhyar's 1973 reworking of the 1925 material Jones and Wheeler produced; that copyrighted text is not reproduced here. Now within the Moon's decan (11 to 20 degrees) while still inside Jupiter's term, feeling and expansive confidence combine in a picture of two powerful animals meeting head-on, resolution left entirely outside the frame.
