What Sagittarius rising means
You come across open, friendly, adventurous and frank. People see optimism and humour. You need room to roam and something to believe in.
The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it needs the exact time and place. It stands for the face you show, your body and the way you begin things. In Sagittarius it works freely, honestly and hopefully; it looks for meaning and distance. Its ruler, Jupiter, is the ruler of the whole chart.
The opposite point, the Descendant, falls in Gemini: the partner it describes is a talker. Witty, young at heart, restless and curious, often clever with words, trade or screens.
