Whoever is around him or her will see this person as someone who is full of life, and this native will also be the one who will make jokes and make the environment where he or she is relaxed, which are the main characteristics of the sign of Sagittarius.
About the Ascendant
To better understand people with ascendant in Sagittarius it is necessary to know what is ascendant, how to discover yours and in what way it influences life as a whole, besides having the famous doubt clarified: does the ascendant get stronger after 30 years of age?
What is ascending?
The ascendant is popularly known as the first impression a person makes to another, however, this more in depth means that the ascendant sign is the one that appears on the horizon at the time the person is born. While the sun sign represents who the person is internally, the ascendant is how they are perceived externally.
Some astrologers make the analogy of the ascendant with a business card, that is, before people show their true essence, characterized by their solar sign, they show their "business card" by the way they express themselves with the characteristics of the ascendant sign. The ascendant also influences the way a person dresses.
Does the ascendant get stronger after 30?
What happens is that the energy of the ascendant needs to be developed in order to evolve throughout life, and so, when this energy is developed, there is a fusion between our energy of the solar sign and the energy of the ascendant sign, as if we married who we are internally with who we are externally.
This balance between the two energies occurs around the age of 29, when Saturn returns after a complete return through the zodiac, being this the star that represents maturity, thus, in its return the person is emersed by the energy of identifying what he/she seeks and desires, that many times can be something related to the ascendant, causing this way the impression that it gets strongeraround that age.
How do I know/calculate my ascendant?
To know the ascendant it is necessary to know the date, time and city of birth. Knowing the exact time of birth is of extreme importance to calculate the ascendant, because its complete return in the zodiac occurs every twenty-four hours, so the ascendant changes from one sign to another approximately every two hours.
Therefore the wrong supply of the birth time can point to the incorrect sign as ascendant. With this exact information you can obtain your Birth Chart and find out which is your ascendant, as well as other elements of the Birth Chart.
How does the ascendant influence my life?
The ascendant influences people's lives through the way they are seen and the first impressions they have when they arrive at a place or when they meet new people. It influences how a person wishes to be seen.
Your form of expression, physical posture and the way you dress will be influenced by your ascendant, so you will be seen first with the characteristics of your ascendant sign and not with the characteristics of your sun sign.
The style of the person and the way he/she will behave in front of the world, for example, decisions that he/she will take in some situations, will be influenced by the ascendant.
What is the difference between ascending and descending?
The ascendant is the sign that was in House 1 at the moment of birth of the person, while the descendant is the sign that was in House 7 at that moment. The first is the way the individual is seen externally by the people around him/her, the second is how the person behaves in interpersonal relationships, whether in love relationships, professional, personal, friendships and even enemies.
The descendant also shows which characteristics will attract the attention, romantically, of the individual. Although they are opposite astrological houses, they complete each other, so, to know the descendant you only need to calculate the ascendant, as the descendant will be in the opposite angle.
Positive characteristics of Ascendant in Sagittarius
The native with ascendant in Sagittarius will inherit the main positive characteristics of this sign, such as optimism, freedom, tranquility and sense of justice, as we will see in detail below.
Optimism
Among the positive characteristics of the sign of Sagittarius is its optimism, because its ruling planet is Jupiter, a planet related to optimism. Thus, people with ascendant in Sagittarius are optimistic and have a way of being cheerful, good humored even at times of facing the challenges imposed by life.
They are people who will have positive attitudes with those closest to them, causing the impression of being passionate about life, infecting others with their optimism, smiles and positive comments about something, especially when it is a complicated issue in the eyes of others.
Freedom
Another innate positive characteristic of the sign of Sagittarius is its free essence. Natives with ascendant in Sagittarius will seek freedom in all areas of their life. When it is time to exercise, they will like outdoor activities, rather than being stuck in a gym, for example.
In the professional area they will look for jobs that allow them to have this freedom, that is, jobs with more flexible hours and less bureaucratic and even if they offer them a position with great remuneration, if the position is taking away their freedom, they will give up the position and not their freedom.
Faith
Faith is another positive characteristic belonging to the sign of Sagittarius, therefore, those who have ascendancy in Sagittarius will be people of great faith and based on this feeling, internally, they will believe that they can achieve much, being able to use faith in their favor in this way.
Sagittarius is a sign that seeks knowledge, so besides seeking spiritual and philosophical knowledge, they will want to transmit what they learn, possessing the aptitude to be spiritual guides.
The native with ascendant in Sagittarius will believe in mantras and will use the concepts they have learned and believe in as guides for the direction in their life, as only then will they feel that there is a purpose to their existence.
Sense of justice
Because the sign of Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter, the planet of sense of justice, representing laws and fairness, the person who has ascendant in Sagittarius will inherit this sense. Those with ascendant in Sagittarius need to have their life guided by principles and values and may quarrel when this is disrespected.
Therefore, when faced with a situation in which they feel wronged or perceive that someone close to them is being wronged, they will naturally take a defensive posture to ensure that the injustice ceases. They will always try to prevent injustices from occurring around them.
Characteristics to improve for the ascendant in Sagittarius
Although people with ascendant in Sagittarius have several positive characteristics as we have seen, especially their optimism, they are people who need to be careful in some negative points, such as excessive control and idealism.
Excessive control
If the ascendancy in Sagittarius is married to another element in the birth chart which has another sign of fire, excesses may occur. When two elements of fire signs come together, control will be in excess, as well as your impulsiveness, passion, expansion, enthusiasm and agitation.
Therefore, the native in this case will have to be careful not to invade and end up controlling the space of others through the imposition of philosophical ideas in which they believe or their faith, because they become more confident in these cases.
They should also be careful to control their idealizations and not exceed limits, especially if the idealization involves one or more people, because in the same way they will be controlling a space that does not belong to them.
Idealism
The sign of Sagittarius is characterized by an excess of vital energy and a constant search for novelty, so it ends up being idealistic, and so will be the native with ascendant in Sagittarius too, because when they idealize they feel alive, a feeling they love, and so they do not feel stagnant, a feeling they hate.
Their willingness to take risks with the new and the excitement generated by this can harm them, because they end up idealizing something that may not be all that, generating frustration, or even something that is totally out of their reach. Still, when they idealize and cannot achieve it, they may feel a failure, as if they were missing something.
Ascendant in Sagittarius in areas of life
It is also important to note how the characteristics of the sign of Sagittarius will reflect in the main areas of those who have ascendant in Sagittarius, such as in love, work and their appearance.
Ascendant in Sagittarius in love
Because they carry with them the characteristic of freedom inherent in Sagittarius, those who have ascendant in Sagittarius can be a little shaken when making the decision to have a relationship in love, because they like to meet new people all the time and get sick easily of things and people, besides seeking freedom they will constantly seek novelty.
In the love sphere they may also feel excited at the moment they are winning someone over, but this feeling soon ceases.
However when they do decide to enter into a serious relationship they will be seductive and will need to feel stimulated at all times, so as not to lose the feeling of "novelty" and the excitement it brings.
Ascendant in Sagittarius at work
Natives with Sagittarius ascendant will avoid time-consuming jobs that require a lot of specific details, as well as dislike sticking to schedules and timelines at work.
Because they are enthusiastic about new things, they will need to focus on long-term projects or sometimes they will be excited about the new job, but can soon get discouraged, precisely because they are always looking for new things.
Therefore, jobs that may suit people who have Sagittarius as ascendant are those that involve travel, because it is something variant and that will not leave them with that feeling of doing something boring.
Appearance of someone with Ascendant in Sagittarius
As in other areas of life, the ascendant also influences the appearance of the person, therefore, those who have ascendant in Sagittarius will be that person with a smile that stands out among the others in the environment where they are, as well as they will have a remarkable laugh.
Their optimism, freedom and way of facing problems with positive thoughts will make the native with ascendant in Sagittarius look younger than he/she really is. Most of them have robust bodies, with physical strength and athletic capacities, with well formed and long legs, also because they like to exercise outdoors.
Other information about Ascendant in Sagittarius
There is other important information about those who have ascendant in Sagittarius that should also be understood in order to understand these natives, such as their personality and behavior overall, as well as their ruler.
Personality of Ascendant in Sagittarius
As a whole the personality of those who have ascendant in Sagittarius is like that of an explorer, for they are people who perceive the world as a place full of new possibilities for learning and seek to experience, in addition to learning, the novelties that these possibilities bring to them.
They are individuals who do not like the famous "sameness" and exactly why they like freedom, because they hate feeling limited, they are always looking for movement in their lives and therefore can also be considered an extroverted personality.
However, this does not mean that every person with ascendant in Sagittarius will be extroverted, there are those who are more quiet, but even so internally they will also seek change, novelty, movement and knowledge in life.
Behaviour of Ascendant in Sagittarius
These are people who will behave in a more expansive way in places, as well as being the most cheerful, or appearing so, because we must not forget that the ascendant is the way the individual will appear to be to the people around him.
The native with the ascendant in Sagittarius will behave in a sincere way, meaning they can be quite direct in what they are going to say and this may not be well received by others.
Some will have difficulty maintaining focus, because as previously stated, they will always seek something, however, sometimes they will not know exactly what they seek or will seek many things at the same time and in this lose focus.
The ruler of the ascendant in Sagittarius
The planet that rules the ascendant in Sagittarius is Jupiter, the same planet that rules this sign and it is because of this that some of the characteristics mentioned above, such as sense of justice and optimism, derive.
This planet is known for being the planet of abundance and that is why there is so much intensity in people with Sagittarius ascendancy, which can be a negative point when they sin in excess and do not know how to balance the intensity of their actions.
However, this regency can be used by natives in a positive way through optimism to achieve goals or to always keep in motion, something innate of people with ascendant in Sagittarius as we have seen, and obtain achievements through this movement.
Ascendant in Sagittarius and other signs
Below we will see the general characteristics and the basic way in which each of the signs is influenced when they have Sagittarius as ascendant, in order to better understand the personality of each sun with ascendancy in the sign in question.
Aries with Sagittarius Ascendant
In this combination of Sun in Aries and Ascendant in Sagittarius we have two fire signs, which can serve as an example for what was said in the topic about Excessive Control, that is, excesses can occur.
Impulsiveness, passion, expansion, enthusiasm and agitation in excess, as both signs have these characteristics. They will be communicative people who know many people, dynamic and energetic, as well as being very confident.
All this expansion in excess and confidence are characteristics that denote greater care not to turn into something negative, because the excess in these two points can make the Aryan with ascendant in Sagittarius invade the space of others without realizing it.
Taurus with Sagittarius Ascendant
The Taurus with Sagittarius Ascendant is someone apparently cheerful, optimistic and expansive. Because the sun sign is of the element Earth, he is someone who is concerned with the practical matters of life, but the Sagittarius Ascendant makes him seem like the kind of person who is only counting on luck.
An individual who is concerned with details, a Taurus characteristic, while at the same time being seen as someone who is exaggerated, because of Sagittarius. A person who does not forget details even though he thinks broadly.
He is an adventurous Taurus, but with his foot on the ground too, because those adventures are going to be calculated, because of the sign being Taurus.
Gemini with Ascendant in Sagittarius
This combination results in people who seek the truth, but not a single truth, but several. They will seek philosophical knowledge and will test every theory they study, in order to find their own essence. They will be cultured people because of this, and communicative because it is a characteristic of the sign of Gemini.
Negatively, the native of Gemini with ascendant in Sagittarius could result in someone who oscillates a lot, as they tend to desire many things at the same time, but will not be attached to any of these things and therefore will become a fickle person. Some say that this combination causes a kind of combustion, as it joins a sign of air with a sign of fire.
Cancer with Ascendant in Sagittarius
The Cancerian with Sagittarius Ascendant is a restless person who likes to take care of other people, to make them comfortable and often feels responsible for others. However he never decides whether he wants to be free or to belong to something, and here this dilemma is influenced by the Sagittarius Ascendant, because of the freedom that this sign cherishes so much.
The Cancerian's will to help others can turn into a bad thing when they do not realize that sometimes others do not want to be helped. Another negative characteristic is that they often allow their sad side to stand out, even though they are influenced by the optimism of Sagittarius.
Leo with Sagittarius Ascendant
The person of the sign of Leo with ascendant in Sagittarius will be someone full of self-assurance, pulling these characteristics of the two signs in question. This overconfidence brings as a negative characteristic the native to be arrogant and presumptuous, so they can sometimes belittle others around them.
Again, as they are two signs of fire, excess can occur, in the same way that can happen with the Arian with ascendant in Sagittarius, as mentioned above. That is, when these natives find a philosophy to follow, they will need to be careful not to impose it in an authoritarian way to others, and thus end up controlling and invading the space of others.
Virgo with Ascendant in Sagittarius
Sagittarius as ascendant will make the Virgoan be more optimistic and less rational, expanding his horizons. On one hand the sun sign will make this individual methodical and perfectionist, on the other his ascendant will make it seem that he is someone free and spontaneous.
Inside you are someone simple and humble, but to others around you you will seem like someone who is exaggerated and overflowing. They are people who give the impression of being full of energy, but they are not, and sometimes they let themselves be deceived and end up taking on more responsibility than they should, or than their energy really allows.
Libra with Sagittarius Ascendant
This combination will make this native completely sociable, as Libra is a sign that does not like to be alone, with ascendant in Sagittarius you will be even more predisposed to live with company. Even in professional matters you will do better in a job where you can interact a lot. In your relationships you will be optimistic and humorous people.
Here the sense of justice is also in double, after all, Libra is remembered and well known for being a fair sign, and as mentioned earlier, Sagittarius also has a sense of justice, because of its ruling planet, so, the Librian with ascendant in Sagittarius will be a person who appreciates justice.
Scorpio with Ascendant in Sagittarius
Sagittarius will break Scorpio's main paradigm: their idea that relationships, in any form, are not likely to break. Scorpios create bonds that if broken turn any feelings into hatred and contempt, and Sagittarius as ascendant will change that.
This way of acting prevents the Scorpio's freedom in a certain way, and being Sagittarius the sign that values freedom, it will intervene in this way in this native.
Also, Sagittarius is the sign of the search for knowledge and expansion of horizons, so through this interference the Scorpio will have more space to live the truth which is characteristic of his sign to seek and experience.
Sagittarius with Ascendant in Sagittarius
Here the main traits of Sagittarius will be doubly in evidence, so they are humorous people, who see the positive side of situations, extroverted and communicative.
The idealism in this native can occur in excess and end up harming you, but if you know how to balance it, you will be great people in encouraging others, whether in friendships or in your work team, for example.
The individual who has the Sun and Ascendant in Sagittarius has a free soul and likes to travel, as the characteristic that stands out the most is how much he values his freedom. He must be careful not to be a person who imposes in an authoritarian way the truths he believes in.
Capricorn with Ascendant in Sagittarius
These two signs have clear and obvious differences, however, they have common points that complement each other and this is how the Capricorn will be influenced by the ascendant in Sagittarius. While Sagittarius searches for goals, Capricorn achieves them.
Sagittarius may not have a very good focus on what he wants, but the conjunction with Capricorn will make this certainty of where he wants to go exist. Thus, it is a person who, using the symbolism of Sagittarius, will know where he wants his bow to reach.
Also, the vital force present in Sagittarius makes this Capricornian more excited with life. He is a Capricornian who will have the restlessness to seek new goals, together with the ambition present in Capricorn.
Aquarius with Sagittarius Ascendant
The Aquarian is usually someone who, in order to analyze a situation, distances himself from it, in an attempt to defend himself and rationality, however, if he has ascendant in Sagittarius, this Aquarian will like novelty and will detach himself easily and with a certain speed from situations.
They are sincere people, but without being cruel when exposing their sincerity, they do it with a touch of humanity. In addition, these natives open easily to others.
They like to acquire knowledge and, more than that, exchange this information with other people. They are capable of learning even when they are faced with difficult situations. They question and philosophize about the hypotheses of something.
Pisces with Ascendant in Sagittarius
At this junction are two signs ruled by the same planet, i.e. Jupiter, and therefore have faith and optimism in common. However, they are signs of different elements, so this native appears to be someone strong and bold, for having ascendant in Sagittarius, sign of fire, but internally will be a sensitive person, for having Sun in Pisces, sign of the water element.
This individual is extroverted and believes too much in people and life, leaving him a little naive. They are excited about anything that makes them grow and add knowledge, because they are very enthusiastic. They also like to philosophize about life and are always learning from people who cross their paths.
