Sagittarius Rising

Sagittarius Rising will have invited you on the trip before finding out your surname. The strange thing is you might actually go.

Open and on the way somewhere

Cheerful, outgoing and slightly too loud for the library: that’s how most people would describe you after five minutes. There’s often a long stride, a big laugh, and a habit of talking to whoever’s next to you. You treat a stranger like a future friend, and frequently you’re right. The conversation jumps quickly from the weather to what people believe, and it may not occur to you that this is a lot for a first coffee.

What people get wrong

People may assume you’re never sad, you don’t need much and you’ll be gone by spring. Since you seem so sure of the bright side, nobody thinks to check on you. A Moon in Cancer or a Sun in Virgo may sit under this manner, worrying and getting attached, while your face says everything’s great and you’d love to come. Your friends could be startled to learn you’ve had a hard year.

Some will also read you as a bit careless, because you say things as you think them and may be late to whatever you’re so excited about. You can seem to promise more than you’ve meant to. “We should go to Lisbon!” may be heard as a plan.

First dates and follow-through

You’re easy to have a good time with, and first dates are rarely dull. Keep an eye on the second half: if your enthusiasm seemed like a commitment, your date may be waiting for the Lisbon tickets. Say what you mean when you can. When you’re interested, be specific and follow up. Let someone see you on a low day, too. It tends to make the friendliness more believable.

With this one, it’s worth a word of caution about borrowing it. Rising is set by the exact time and place of your birth, so if yours isn’t recorded, you can’t tell whether you’ve got it. Plenty of people like the idea of this Rising. Those who actually have it can usually find their birth certificate, once they stop losing it.
