Sagittarius · Tiger
“Arrives like weather and leaves the map redrawn.”
The Roc is the Ancient Zodiac sign for a Sagittarius born in the Year of the Tiger, the point where the Sagittarius sun meets the Tiger moon.
The Sagittarius-Tiger, known as the Roc, does nothing at ordinary scale. Sagittarius brings appetite for the vast: distance, meaning, the big question asked in the middle of a small conversation. The Tiger brings raw courage and a physical fearlessness that makes other people either follow or step aside. The blend produces someone whose plans routinely embarrass everyone else's ambitions. The roc is the giant bird of old travellers' tales, whose wings darken the sky and whose passing is mistaken for a storm front. It is the right emblem for a person who genuinely cannot be scaled down. Sagittarius-Tigers do not want the job, they want the expedition. They do not want the argument, they want the question underneath it. When they commit, the weather in a room changes, and everyone knows it. Their strength is momentum at scale: they attempt things that ought to require a committee and a budget, and they attempt them on Tuesday. Their challenge is the wake they leave. A storm is not cruel, but it does not always notice what it knocked over, and this combination has to learn to look behind it. The name keeps the old symbol's force and gives it wings, will, and a direction. A tornado is chaos with no author. A roc chooses where to fly, and the sky simply reorganises itself around the decision.

Both engines pointed the same way: forward.
Your solar half leans out toward the world and your lunar half pushes from behind, so there is no internal committee meeting before you act. You are the one saying "let's just go" while everyone else is still reading the reviews, and you are usually already halfway there by the time they agree.
Every door is a door worth opening.
Adaptable energy pointed east toward growth. You are congenitally curious and constitutionally unfinished - you collect skills, places and people the way others collect certainty, and it makes you excellent company.
Fire that someone can carry.
Fire fed by growing wood - a flame with fuel and a handle. You do not just burn brightly, you make your fire portable: you hand it to people and they go and light their own.
