The Ascendant defines, in part, the first impression we make on others in a personal rather than professional sense. It represents our physical appearance, our physical bodies and overall health, and the body ego. The Ascendant is often referred to as the mask we wear, although I don't consider it to be as superficial as this might suggest. What it does represent is our natural and personal defense mechanisms that we use to adapt to, and cope with, our environment.
Rising sign in Sagittarius
The world is filled with adventure, new things to experience, and, most of all, hope, with this Ascendant. There is an unmistakable faith and enthusiasm with Sagittarius rising people. Grand schemes, big promises, and a willingness to explore and experiment are themes, although follow-through is not a strong characteristic of Sagittarius.
These individuals are somewhat restless and often active people. They always seem to be looking for something that is just out of grasp -- and many do this their entire lives. They can be quite direct at times, yet they are likable enough to forgive for their faux-pas. Most have a lot to say and offer. Their insights and opinions are usually interesting and exciting, although sometimes lacking in details.
Sagittarius rising people have opinions about everything, and they just love telling others exactly what they are. Not all people with this position are outgoing folk, but they all have a way of moving about that at least exudes a certain level of confidence. Some might even call them naive or overly optimistic. Even the quiet ones don't shrink from life and from experience.
One of the most obvious and endearing traits of Sagittarius rising is their willingness to keep up a sense of humor. Even when they're feeling low, they manage to find humor in life and have fun with whatever they do have. The placement of Sagittarius' ruling planet, Jupiter, will give more clues to how they go about expressing themselves. Jupiter in Capricorn, for example, might give a more sarcastic approach, but underneath there lies an unmistakable hope and spirit for living.
Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Leo
Your Jupiter is in Leo, which suggests the great warmth, enthusiasm, heart, and generosity of spirit that infuses your expression. You love the color, drama, and celebration of life, and are gifted with a contagious confidence. Extravagance could be a temptation, for you cannot conceive of doing anything on a modest scale. Large plans and organizing major productions are your forte.
Analysis
For those that know me, this is a pretty accurate description of me. Let's start with the statement:
Grand schemes, big promises, and a willingness to explore and experiment are themes, although follow-through is not a strong characteristic of Sagittarius.
I've been talking about my ideas and dreams to become rich and famous such as moving from self employment to an actual business owner, making it big in cards, and plenty of failed attempts at starting tech businesses. I started playing piano and the guitar, but never followed through with the necessary effort to become good. I'm trying to change that, but for now, that's where I stand.
And then there's:
One of the most obvious and endearing traits of Sagittarius rising is their willingness to keep up a sense of humor. Even when they're feeling low, they manage to find humor in life and have fun with whatever they do have.
Yesterday I was on the phone with one of the women I'm seeing and she says to me that, other than my body of course, she loves my sense of humor and that she hasn't stopped laughing since she's been out with me. Now there was a time that when I felt low, it was hard to get out of the slump. I don't know how accurate it is to say that, prior to a couple years ago, I found humor when I was in the shits. But now, there's almost always a bright side to things. I know what it's like to feel like you've hit rock bottom, and when things feel blah I always say things could be worse. Except when it comes to relationships... Then my moon really comes into play. But that is a later post.
And finally:
You love the color, drama, and celebration of life, and are gifted with a contagious confidence. Extravagance could be a temptation, for you cannot conceive of doing anything on a modest scale.
Confident? Maybe a little... Extravagance a temptation? It's not quite a temptation anymore.
