-Aspects of the Sagittarian Rising People-

This topic was created in the Taurus forum by VeNuS ViXeN on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 and has 21 replies.
i had been trying to figure out why i innately do some of the things that i do, since i don't seem to freely act like my sun sign, taurus, for a lot of the time.
then while i was dissecting the issue, i decided to post a few tid bits that i found about my rising sign, sagittarius, that i found more insightful and interesting.

SAGITTARIUS: A BEAM OF DIRECTED, FOCUSED LIGHT
In this the point of light becomes the beam, revealing a greater light ahead and illuminating the way to the center of the light.
When Sagittarius rises in the natal chart, a person has reached the stage or preparation through which a new vision of oneself emerges out of the conflicts of Scorpio. The mountain peak of initiation in Capricorn has been sighted, but the mountain has yet to be climbed. It is through Sagittarius that we find the Path up that mountain into the Light of the Soul. Sagittarius exemplifies the struggle each person has to undergo in order to free himself from the limitations of the personal life, and thus encounter the more expansive, spiritual reality of the Higher Self. One of the fundamental purposes of an incarnation with Sagittarius rising is for the individual to orient himself to some lofty objective, one which will unfold a higher goal and a consciously directed life orientation towards its achievement. This is the real meaning of the arrow, the glyph that is used to represent this sign. The arrow points to the target and that target is the unity of a Soul-centered life.
A person with Sagittarius rising is devoted to his aims and to the realization of his inner truth. He undertakes his journeys and adventures in order that these subjective realities may be fulfilled in his outer life through a concrete form of expression. Jupiter, the traditional ruler of this sign gives Sagittarius the urge for expansive experiences but it is the Earth, the esoteric ruler of this sign that commands. The Earth requires that one?s ideals and dreams be concretized and made practical. Service is not only an idealistic vision. On the Path of soul-influsion, service has to be anchored in one?s daily life. Sagittarius rising has as its purpose the need to find and formulate a ?field of service?, through which one?s abundant creative fires of mind may take root and flourish. In this respect, Sagittarius rising becomes a Knight who holds on to his quest and purpose no matter what obstacles may assail him. His ?shining armor? is the Light of the Soul and his purpose is to find the Hold Grail. This is the cup which holds the waters of enlightenment for all to drink. These are the same waters found in the jar atop the shoulders of Aquarius.

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're 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.


(my jupiter is in aries, so i express myself aggressively and forwardly -- especially when i sing; i put my whole heart into it, as well as absorb the song with all that i am..)
details
Sagittarius --Breezy and outgoing, but you are not at your best in the long-term concentration department. You like to flit about both socially and artistically-trying first this, then that. You have many acquaintances and admirers, but few real friends. Some people find you too hard to keep up with. You love to be on the move and variety IS definitely your spice of life! Your inclinations run towards religion and philosophy. And you can be very talkative when it comes to those subjects. Jumping out of an airplane is both a sport and a spiritual experience for you. If female, you were the 'tomboy"; if male you like your adventures in natural surroundings. You tend to experience big ups and bigger downs and sometimes all within the same five minutes. You are a strange combination of the quite ordinary and surprisingly unconventional. You have a wonderful sense of humor and a quirky outlook on life. Gregarious party animal that you are, you have your definite limits as to what you will tolerate. Folks would be wise not to goad you into a real rage-they wouldn't really like you when you are angry.


(damn, i was for DEFINATELY a tomboy when i was younger, and i kinda still am, actually..)
details
With your Rising Sign (Ascendant) in Sagittarius, you are jovial, optimistic, desirous of knowledge and freedom-loving. You are capable of seeing the 'big picture' in any undertaking, well aware of the ramifications of your actions or activities. You tend to take an authoritative stance in any undertaking, demonstrating expertise and greater-than-average competence. For this reason, you tend to be independent and your own master. You are frank in your observations, sometimes bluntly so, but your conclusions rarely fail to hit their mark. Your social consciousness is very strong which inevitably leads to outspoken opinions on politics or current events. You are a thinker, capable of breadth of understanding on just about any topic, but rather than being 'high brow' in style , you relate to others in a frank and jovial manner, keying into the common ground shared by all. You have an appreciation of cultures and traditions other than your own; for this reason you love to travel.
details
SAGITTARIUS RISING (also Jupiter rising)
Sagittarius Rising sees the world in a very happy and optimistic light. She offers a joyful, fun loving, sunny, face to the world. On first meeting she is likely to say or do something comical to make you smile. She may remark on some truthful observation she has made about you, possibly hurting your feelings - but she always means well. Sagittarius Rising dreams of travel and adventure, and believes that everyone should follow her dream. Freedom, expansion and education are important to her. She may seem wise beyond her years.
Sagittarius Rising is here to cheer and inspire, and to speak the truth.


[i think that this description best describes me in the fewest possible words. hmmmm.. and even though i enjoy being this way, it does kinda conflict with my other values. but i guess that's what i get for getting conflicting sun/rising signs to begin with. bleh -- but ah well, i'll just deal with it or something lol. that's all i can really do. and besides, what fun is it if i'm TOO sure of what i'm made of?? haha yep, i guess i can say that i sometimes like conflict -- as strange as that may sound..]
details
Well that sux, I'm far from the mountain Sad Which means in my next lifetime I'll be a sag rising then after that a cappy.... noooooo! lol

"You have a wonderful sense of humor and a quirky outlook on life."
-- Oh that rings so true for VV Tongue lol My aqua sister also has a sag rising and I'm not sure if that multiplies her 'weird' factor ha ha ha ... I think it does lol
details
ALL RIGHT!~

i think i'm pretty much done with this stuff, for the moment.
so now, i'm gonna go on to other things.. muahahahaha.
i'm kinda sleepy, though -- especially since i barely slept last night from doing loads of math hw, and i also had to wake up early for an essay exam this morning.
but surprisingly, i'm still awake and i wasn't the least bit stressed.
that happens to me sometimes -- it's just too bad that i can't be like this ALL the time.

damn beans.
details
ohh, tauruschic..

i hadn't seen your comment yet, as i was typing my previous one.
but i really AM kinda weird. and i don't even know if that's at all in a good way.. ??

uh-oh..

and i was told (many times) that i'm supposedly SO weird, that i think that i'm completely normal and human lol.
but yeah, ain't that sad?!!?
(and what's sadder is that i don't even get what that means. *sigh*)
details
shoot, i really meant to post this thread in the sagittarian board.
but AH WELL.. i'm still a taurus so this board can be its home.
aWwWw.. what a cozy place for this new-born thread.
tee hee hee. =D


damn, typing that had just made me sleepy for some weird reason..
ahh.. me so tired. me just want to fall on floor and go to dreamy, fun land. that me like. yesss, me like much. me going to fall now. *drools*
details
"oh! how's u like being a horsy bull anyway? i think it sucks! don't know when to be polite and when to be an ass so it all comes out sporadically"


haha well.. your mannerisms should come off naturally to you, even though you may feel as though you've got two ways to go. i have a lot of energy and stamina, so i would often times ponder about whether or not i should let it all out (and scare everyone lol) or if i should just take the other road and calm down a bit.. =p

but overall, you shouldn't think too hard about how you're supposed to act -- you should just live your life by embracing the effect that you have in this world. be yourself by solely focusing on yourself and your aspirations, before you even begin to worry about others. you can't be happy in the long run if you end up lying to your own heart, as well as the ppl around you.

and remember that sagittarian risings look for ways to express themselves -- that's supposed to be an extremely important thing for them. find something that you'd devote yourself to that you'd enjoy, if you haven't already. for me, i've been playing the piano since i was a little girl, and i've enjoyed singing every since i can remember (taurus in mercury). so basically, writing and singing songs is my form of expression, even though i haven't really performed for anyone yet becuz i'm such a perfectionist, that i take forever until i actually feel satisfied about my own work (that is, if that ever DOES happen) lol.

but anywhoo, i have an adequate number of pros and cons towards having a sagittarian ascendant. it's easy for me to get ppl to smile and i get a lot of attention for it -- but i can also feel trapped when too many responsibilities are put on me. it's like, i can't really fulfill every single person's demands, becuz that would mean that i wouldn't have enough time for myself. i love my alone time, but my friends often get disappointed when i leave them high and dry (but not in YOUR definition of "high and dry" lol) to explore my own. i usually get surprised when they ask me, "where did you go?!" or, did you get our calls??" and would wonder what all the fuss was about.. haha. but yeah, it's kinda bad that i would STILL get surprised if that were to happen again lol, but i guess that's just a tsk tsk on my part..... haha.

but the thing is, i love freedom to the max -- whether it be freedom of living or freedom of expression. and that's also a key factor to a sagittarian ascendant. all they basically need is to know that they have the freedom to do what they want. i don't even have to really do all the things that there are to do in theis world -- just simply KNOWING that i have the option to makes me more happy than anyone else would know.

(this is probably why i suffer when i'm under my parents' roof. i love living on my own SO MUCH that i wouldn't mind going to school forever! lol but that's also becuz learning is a fun thing for me, too; so i wouldn't mind keeping myself affectively busy by doing something that i like.)

btw, what sign is your jupiter in? since your rising is in sagittarius, your jupiter would tell you how you would come off as a sagittarius rising. i'm only asking you becuz not all sagittarian ascendants come off in the same way; it varies with your jupiter (sagittarius's ruling planet). mine is in aries, so i come off as an aggressively enthusiastic person -- however, my moon (cancer) and mercury (taurus) softens that up a little. but yeah, there are generally many quiet or more reserved sagittarian risings, too.


"whereis venuz fixins?!!"

lol i go on here every now and then, but not for too long or often becuz i always have a grip load of crap to do. i just wanna SLEEP sometimes, but ehh, whatevers. i've got two midterms coming up on the SAME DAY, both BACK TO BACK. so yeah, i'ma need all the luck that i can get to pas

Sagittarius Rising
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.

A Spiritual Interpretation of Sagittarius Rising
You are driven by especially human motivations as you pursue your spiritual life. Your rising sign, Sagittarius, governs the hips and thighs. It is the arrangement of these parts of the body that allows humans to stand upright and walk. Translate this metaphorically to your spiritual life - upright thinking and attention to your spiritual path are a reflection of your capacity to maximize human potential on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
In addition to the above capabilities, you have the capacity to use intuition in your life. You can envision the future better than most people. When you match your intuitive sensibility to your spiritual aspiration, you find that your path becomes easy to identify and to follow. The more you use your intuition, the more useful it becomes. Your intuitive ability rests in your intellectual development, so it is important to educate yourself well. In your studies you are often able to leap to the answer. It is important for you to fill in the blanks, even if it means going back, so that you learn how to solve more and more difficult problems.
You experience your soul's calling early in life. Other people may put down your budding ideas, but you gather these thoughts to yourself and nurture them. You trust that these ideas have come to you for some reason. You are able to recall them in moments of crisis, and you find you can communicate profound sentiments with few words. You have material ambitions, yes, but you also have spiritual aspirations. You will find that right spiritual aspiration often brings suitable material satisfaction in its wake.
Because your rising sign is connected to the hips and thighs, you may find that walking meditation, Tai Ch'I, or other contemplative movement suits your spiritual development. Sitting may not help you to focus, while walking meditation may allow your thoughts to settle and your intuition to arise.

Sagittarius Ascendant:
High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, you love adventure, change, exploring new territory, and are not happy confined to the same safe, familiar, secure little world all the time. You have a strong restlessness and yearning for something greater than anything you've yet experienced, and you often live in your dreams and visions for the future. You tend to believe that the grass is greener somewhere else and you like to keep moving, either literally or figuratively. Idealistic and optimistic, you always expect something better ahead. You love to have a goal, something to aim for, but once you achieve it you are on to something else. You are ever on the lookout for new opportunities and you are a gambler, willing to take risks and to break new ground. The possibility of discovering something new is what makes life interesting for you. You have great faith in life and bounce back quickly from disappointment and failure.
Freedom-loving and independent, you cannot tolerate being caged for very long, and friends and loved ones must respect your need for freedom of movement. Binding commitments and responsibilities often weigh heavily upon you and you may resist "growing up" and taking on the limitations of adult life.
You are friendly and outgoing and have a great sense of fun and playfulness. You are also philosophically minded and often quite outspoken about your convictions and beliefs. Sometimes you get carried away with your enthusiasm of the moment and you tend to exaggerate. You are often a big talker, full of big promises, and you are usually pretty convincing. You do everything in a big way, a generous way. You like to have the best, and you heartily dislike stinginess, littleness, or pettiness. Your vision is always large. You are able to perceive the big picture, general patterns and principles, and are well suited to politics, business, higher education or religion.
Other people see you as a good sport and a good friend, but one who is not always consistent and dependable. You may also be seen as a wise person since you do not get bogged down in pettiness and trivialities, and are able to communicate a larger way of looking at situations, one that opens up new potentials. You are a person who believes in miracles, grace, or just plain good luck, someone who never gives up on life, and you inspire and encourage others to keep looking forward.

Sagittarius Rising - General
Faith, belief and the ability to foresee and envision the future or "what could be" are essential elements of your soul function. You may well be ahead of your time or at the fore front of coming trends and movements in the collective. You are a seeker, one who searches for the overview, the larger pattern, or a broad, over-arching philosophy of life - and also a teacher who conveys that vision or broadcasts it in some way. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

----------

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Aries
Your Jupiter in Aries suggests that leadership, spearheading new enterprises, and adventurously exploring new territory are part of your soul function. Positivity and action are key qualities. However, overblown enthusiasm, not knowing limits, and a lack of humility or of follow through on your inspired plans can create non-fulfillment of your greatest potential.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Taurus
Your Jupiter in Taurus suggests that in addition to vision and optimism, you have the practicality and stability to bring your dreams into concrete manifestation. You are gifted along material and financial lines, and are generous with your gifts. Business is a natural avenue of expression for you. Using the fruits of the earth wisely is a key to your fulfillment.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Gemini
Your Jupiter in Gemini suggests that your role is to be a messenger, which will involve educating, spreading ideas or information, communicating, or facilitating communications between others.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Cancer
Your Jupiter is in Cancer, which suggests that building a sense of community, of family, of support and nourishment for everyone is an important aspect of your soul function. Your compassion and empathy expresses itself as generosity. Though broad in your thinking and concerns, home and loyalty to your origins is very important to you.

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.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Virgo
Your Jupiter in Virgo suggests that in addition to your vision and your ability to see the big picture, you have highly developed critical and intellectual faculties. You believe very strongly in education and lifelong learning. You are meant to translate your philosophical beliefs into concrete, practical service, and are particularly suited to education, medicine, law - or somehow combining these together. (Teaching about health and "natural laws", for instance).

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Libra
Your Jupiter in Libra suggests that your role is to promote your ideals of harmony, peacemaking, cooperation, true friendship, and understanding between people. You may do this formally (through, say interpersonal mediation or international good will programs) or simply in your one-to-one interactions as you go through your daily life.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Scorpio
Your Jupiter in Scorpio suggests you have a remarkable understanding of life's inner workings and you can access deep transformative energies for healing yourself and others. An unusually thorough investigator, it is your ability to probe into the darkest places and to see what others can not or do not wish to see, that holds the key to fulfilling your fate.

Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Sagittarius
Your Jupiter is in Sagittarius as well, signifying that you are a generalis

Oooh where'd you get that? Ahemmm ummm scorp rising, capricorn jupiter la la la

details
lol but if you're a scorpio rising, then you should look at your mars. that should tell you how you come off. (it goes by your ascendant's ruling planet, but for some strange reason, they only use mars for scorpio when regarding the rising sign..)
and by glancing at your profile page, it looks like you have your mars in scorpio, as well. haha damn, girl! lol.


Scorpio Rising and Mars in Scorpio
Your Mars is in Scorpio as well emphasizing your attunement to deep primal forces in nature, and your need to stay connected with the forces of life in a wild, raw, uncivilized state. You express the energies of both birth and death, creativity and destructiveness, and understand the need for both. You have tremendous physical presence, vitality, and passion to use for good or ill intents. Power will always be an issue in your life - you must learn to acknowledge your power and the ramifications of using it. The power of nature is a source of your own strength and healing. Intensity of experience is more important than permanence.


~well this is for you, birthday girl =D
details
Hey Thanx Venus Vixen!
Pretty cool smile I think the reason why sag rising looks at jupiter must be because it's ruled by jupiter...? right? and scorpio by mars. Me thinks me thinks Tongue
details
Oh wait... you had that figured out didn't you? lol oh you meant that they should look at pluto too right?
Ok I'll stop smile
details
lol, silly girl.
but i don't think that pluto has much to do with your ascendant's influence, though. astrologers don't use pluto for scorpio rising becuz it probably has little to no affect.
but yes, you are right, tauruschic.
=p
