Sagittarius rising or Sagittarius ascendant

Sagittarius rising symbolizes that like the horse you have a need to cover a lot of territory, and avoid all circumstances that restrict or limit your spontaneous and free behavior. Be careful this obsession with freedom doesn't emphasize the opportunist in you at the expense of your more caring side. It appears as though you're constantly in a hurry (unless there are compensating fixed energies in the chart). You are very gregarious, outgoing, and extroverted, but could do with building your powers of concentration. You love horses, the out-of-doors and travel, and travel extensively given the opportunity.

You prefer many casual contacts rather than deep relationships, and tend to superficiality unless Jupiter is well placed by sign and aspect. Philosophy and religion attract you, and you do well in selling any ideas to others. You come across in a frank, candid, and scrupulously honest manner, lacking in tact and diplomacy. The house your Jupiter is in shows experiences necessary in developing self-awareness and in expressing yourself as an individual. Jupiter's sign and aspects will indicate your ease or difficulty in doing so.
