THE SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT
Sagittarius, a fire sign and mutable, with this definition much of the energy of this ascendant is already explained, and if we add to this the energy of Jupiter, almost everything.
Being fire, we have an individual who stands out for their lively presentation, the typical Sagittarius is extroverted and fun in their social entrance, also has a certain adventurous air, especially in their youth, because this sign, which is symbolized by a centaur, half man and half horse, manifests its more visceral part in the first part of life.
Sagittarius ascending means having Jupiter as natal ruler, and if Jupiter is under the ascendant, the individual will appear much more than they are, and will identify with their own greatness, showing signs of feeling above their possibilities, if other factors of their horoscope support it, they will be able to complete many journeys, mental and physical, but if the rest of the horoscope is difficult, they will show themselves as a kind of overwhelming braggart, but in any case a person with a gift for people and a kind of natural luck.
Sagittarius is a sign of mutable quadruplicity, and therefore is not bound like its predecessor nor needs to impose its will like a cardinal sign, what Sagittarius desires is to experience, to venture, but not in the Scorpionic way, getting into dark corners, rather in a cheerful and carefree manner.
A Sagittarius ascendant needs to know what lies beyond the border, what exists beyond the natural limits, and its fire triplicity urges it to advance and take risks, so it is not surprising that we see them well disposed to any distant adventure, and the same can be said regarding knowledge, adventure books will attract them more in their childhood than anything else, and they will identify with explorers of the unknown.
The problem with Sagittarius is their difficulty in focusing on one thing, they have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but can remain scattered, as a mutable fire sign that they are, and during part of their life exceed in everything, this is especially true with Jupiter laden with tension aspects.
The great virtue of Sagittarius ascendant lies in ultimate confidence, that which makes you board a ship to a place unknown, but with the faith and hope that the answer and the future will be waiting there, and they also have something of visionaries, since in certain moments they manage to glimpse social trends.
The centaur, half man and half horse is its symbol.
