Sagittarius Rising

You are someone who looks at life through optimistic glasses: noble by nature, ready to treat everyone as a friend, sociable, warm-hearted and sincere. You like appearing exactly as you are, and you believe people quickly. Because you are straight-dealing, you avoid hurting them. Doing an injustice is the last thing you would do in the world, and you expect the same of others. You are lively, cheerful and witty, and you fit into wherever you find yourself very quickly. Just as you make jokes, you can also make fun of things you do not approve of. In general your words carry humour that touches people without wounding them; you prefer to take your revenge in words.

Your double, changeable nature can make you two kinds of person. The first is emotional and inward-looking, shy and sensitive. The second is brave, fiery, incautious and, where pride is concerned, unsparing in what they say. One or the other emerges depending on the situation. Freedom matters greatly to a Sagittarius rising; even the threat of losing it can drive them wild.

As someone with Sagittarius rising, you take great pleasure in travelling, in adventures and in seeing new places. In fact you do not need to chase adventure - it comes and finds you. At the end of every journey you find something worth telling; travelling with a Sagittarius rising is genuinely enjoyable.

Life will give you a great deal. Such things will happen to you that you will gather deep experience from them, and that will show you life is not only entertainment. You will learn from what you live through and try not to repeat the same mistakes. One day, in the end, you will mature; and even so you will always be like an arrow ready to leave the bow. You cannot be comfortable in a house with the windows closed; nature draws you in every way.

You will shrink from being restricted materially or in spirit, from having your independence taken away and from being tied down by responsibility. For that reason, binding yourself blindly to one place or one person is not for you. All the same, being with someone you love and sharing what is beautiful gives you pleasure. You want attention and affection; the person you love should share everything with you. If you cannot find that, leaving will seem the more sensible thing to do.

You are an ardent lover and when you love, you love completely; you become both a partner and a good friend. You will make any sacrifice for the person you love and you do not want to lose them. Meanwhile it is possible for you to have two relationships at once; secret affairs will wound you badly. If you cannot find what you are looking for in love, you may move from branch to branch. You are indecisive, impatient, changeable and curious - and you show it in love as well. When you love, you become generous.

Religion, philosophy, astrology and matters beyond the natural world draw you strongly. You do not only learn about them; you become a good teacher of them too. Your sixth sense is very strong, and you can grasp events by sensing them beforehand. You want to be someone known in the world, and your life will always contain pursuits that keep widening and growing.

Sagittarius rising gives you a tall figure. Your body is slim and well shaped. Your forehead is open and your nose well formed. Your complexion is wheaten or dark. Your hair is brown or chestnut; men''s hair begins to recede at the temples at a young age. Your hands and feet are well shaped. The two front teeth of a Sagittarian, called their "lucky teeth", are larger and more prominent. And you are a cheerful, likeable person.
