Sagittarius Rising in the BirthChart

Natives with Sagittarius coloring their Rising Sign feel like the world is a place full of adventure, with new things to experience all the time and, above all, a good place – which brings much learning. They give off a first impression of enthusiasm, even if it’s not shown all the time. Big plans, willingness to explore and do different things are the main themes, although following them to the letter may not be such a strong characteristic, due to the range of possibilities to be explored.

Freedom is one of their biggest banners, as well as the pleasure of experiencing all their actions, however small they may be, as if they were eternal travelers, discoverers of the seven seas, who can’t bear monotony. Thus, they convey positivity, even if their way of looking at life is considered immature by some.

They feel that life can be lived with joy, gratitude, a sparkle in their eyes, and confidence in something greater, regardless of what beliefs nourish their hearts, feeding a perception that life is a constant movement, a constant ebb and flow filled with unforeseen events. Understanding this is liberating, because whoever wants to control things too much eventually loses direction of everything.

They tend to be able to work around any unforeseen situations and overcome obstacles, always moving ahead in situations of loss or frustration. Sadness is felt, when necessary, but limited to a certain expiry period, because they feel that right around the corner, everything will be much better. The heart tends to be more generous and have grandiose desires. There is also a greater sense of justice, but also a chance to understand the law in a very subjective way.

Not everyone with this position is extroverted, but they usually have a way of life that shows confidence and optimism at first glance. They tend to be people with a more laid-back and hopeful stance, and are very positive about the future. In fact, there can be two alternating energies: One of which is adventuresome, with more faith, and another one that is more down to earth, more animalistic and materialistic. They have a more restless demeanor and are often active people who don’t like to feel tied down. They feel that they need movement and seem to be always looking for something better or different; they are interested in innovative ideas or places where they can intake a lot of knowledge.

Even the most placid ones are somehow always looking for new experiences. Because of this greater desire to explore, they probably have many acquaintances, but few true friends. They tend to like animals, the outdoors, games, travel, and safe adventures. If the Rising Sign is not well developed, the person can be very harsh, making harsh comments that can hurt others. In this way, they must be careful about their thirst for independence not to be an impediment, so that they can have balanced and complete relationships. To do so, they also need to turn a little more inward.

Optimism: present

One of the most distinctive characteristics of natives with this Rising sign is their possible willingness to maintain a sense of humor present. Even if it doesn't seem so, they are able to laugh at themselves and their failures, and when they’re feeling low, they can usually be amused by life and have fun with what they have at the moment. Some may even call them naive or overly optimistic, but the fact is that they often have their own definition of faith and well-being.

As they are aggregators by nature, they can excel when they are entrusted with the mission of converging interests, as they can be quite resourceful to align opposite issues, until reaching a consensus. Their ideas and opinions are generally interesting, curious, and thought-provoking. They also tend to be very sincere; in fact, they can be rather straightforward at times, but also friendly enough for others to forgive them for their excessive frankness. They get so directly to the point that sometimes telling the truth to someone’s face can seem to lack tact or diplomacy.

Lack of concentration can be a constant, as some are always looking for something, even if they don’t know exactly what. Accordingly, staying focused on just one goal can be more difficult, causing them to promise a lot and not deliver so much. The tip is to know their limits, paying more attention to the things they have to do and those that surround them. Since procrastination can be another characteristic present, it is always recommended to constantly remember the phrase: "work before pleasure".

Rising sign ruler

The ruling planet of Sagittarius rising sign is Jupiter, which, as ruler, magnifies the spirit and makes understanding and knowledge with the laws of God more important for their evolution. Analyze the quality of Jupiter in your birth chart, since it is a relevant star in your astrological experience. Jupiter's positioning will give more clues regarding how natives express themselves. For example, Jupiter in Capricorn may put across a more sarcastic approach, while underneath this exterior, they possess strong hope and willingness to enjoy life. Jupiter indicates how the person deals with their material and spiritual abundance, as well as their abundance of ideas. It is also revealing regarding the willingness to travel, opportunities to expand in life, ideas, and higher education. It shows a willingness to open oneself up to all the potential that the world has to offer.
