personal salvation, he will once again fall into the great
danger of Scorpio but this time the danger is much greater.
The spiritual potency of the sign Sagittarius causes
the greatest Gurus to maintain their level by leading the
fellow-beings and thereby prevent their own fall. This trait
is common to Leo and Sagittarius. Remember that the

when it combines the Guru and the disciple into one. This
