Cast & Chart

Rising sign

Sagittarius rising

A chart describes tendencies in a symbolic tradition. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.

In an older source

The eyes usually possess a dreamy, far-away look, though this is notably modified by planetary influence.

About this entry

Raphael's Guide 1877 offers a well-formed person with a long face and open expression, bold and generous and fond of sport. Lilly 1659 agrees on the long, full face and a strong body somewhat above middle height. On this sign the older sources are more of one mind than usual, and even Adams 1928 stays friendly.

Birth records make or break a page like this one, because the Ascendant turns through all twelve signs in a single day. Naming the sign takes a time good to within the hour at the very least, and the degree takes one good to a few minutes. Modern popular astrology hears an easy, candid manner in this rising, and the open expression of the old books points the same way.
