Who Is Sagittarius?

This hybrid half-human, half-horse has the stamina of a horse and the wisdom of man. As an archer, his aim is precise, yet he shoots to kill. Yet, he was made to chase dreams while gaining insight from subjective “truths” about themselves, others, and the world around them.

At times, Sagittarius can be a bit naive to the ugliness that exists and blunt in his expression of his beliefs and opinions. However, there remains a childlike wandering within his eyes and the urgency for experience within his soul. He is open to possibilities and loves a good adventure!

A Sagittarius Sun placement is unusually wise and philosophical, but their fiery nature may result in them sometimes being perceived as a know-it-all. Although they’re highly impatient, they’re also people who know how to create fun wherever they go.

Sagittarius is rarely known as a liar. They are unapologetically blunt, surprisingly direct, and always straight to the point. Without a filter, they can come off as brash, but they don’t have time to beat around the bush because they’re here for life’s experiences!

Willing to try anything at least once, Sag also possesses a deep love of traveling and adventure. With such high energy and optimism, it’s hard for others to keep up with them. This can make them seem a bit idealistic or naive. Without a second thought or hesitation, they’ll hop on a plane all by themselves, daring to be surprised at where they wind up.

Sagittarius isn’t known for passing up an opportunity that may interest them. They fly straight ahead to hit their target in every situation. Unless, of course, the target is to actually finish a task before starting another.

A Sun Sagittarius’ mind’s always racing with a thirst for needing to know anything that suddenly piques their interest. The result is becoming a jack of all trades and a master of none. However, the best thing about these free-spirits is that they’re always keeping others on their toes!

Inside a Sagittarius moon is someone always delving into profoundly huge topics about life and existence. They may rush through things because they suddenly grow tired of mundane living, like chores and other responsibilities. Staying in the present is something they’re good at, which helps them grow and become wiser people.

It’s not uncommon for them to feel homesick for places they’ve never been to and struggle to stay grounded where they are. Every experience has the potential to be profoundly impactful to them. By having a greater understanding of the world, their mind lights up, forming connections to things much deeper than their egos.

They’re highly opinionated and firmly believe that honesty is the best policy. An internal conflict arises as their biggest enemy when someone beats around the bush, which may frustrate them and cause them to become impatient. This placement prefers taking everything at face value.

Emotionally, this moon sign is an open book, unafraid to explore their feelings. The downside to this quality is that they’re not exactly great at keeping secrets. They’re too busy laughing, wondering, and experiencing, but not pausing long enough to consider the consequences of spilling the proverbial beans.

Although they enjoy the company of others, they don’t like to be controlled or demanded. If others are too clingy, Sag Moon might get a bit claustrophobic. They need plenty of room to migrate around because they’re highly independent.

People really look up to Rising Sagittarius people for the simple fact that no matter what happens, they keep their dignity intact. In early adulthood, they may have partied hard, but they likely matured afterward to seek deeper and more meaningful experiences. This placement learns a lot from their personal experiences.

With that being said, the older they get, the more self-aware they seem to inevitably become. They’re easily weighed down by stress and responsibilities, however, and may appear to others as non-committal and unreliable. Truthfully, they can commit themselves, but only under the right circumstances.

Most of them haven’t had many serious relationships considering they’re incredibly selective of whom they share their independence with, as this is a major priority for them. They often find themselves travelling for various reasons, whether to explore or to visit friends. Therefore, they need an adventurous partner who isn’t codependent.

They may be loud and opinionated, seemingly without consideration, but they’re also incredibly honest! Their words are direct, with strong conviction. Rising sag is a little rough around the edges, while still they still keep it classy.

Sagittarius Rising Appearance

Those who are Rising Sagittarius are ruled by the planet of luck, which is Jupiter! With Jupiter as their natal chart ruler, these folks may have a tendency to gain weight as they age as Jupiter is also the planet of expansion. Women with this placement usually have a curvy figure with more weight around their hips and thighs.

Their bodies are generally tall and athletic, with a strong physical presence. Having an energetic and open demeanor, they retain their youthful face longer than most. Many of them have bright eyes and beautiful teeth.
