How to Work With Your Sagittarius Rising
Your Rising sign is the beginning of your first house — the house of self, appearance, and how you enter the world. Understanding your Ascendant doesn't just tell you how others see you; it reveals the lens through which you experience the world, the instinctive approach you bring to new situations before your deeper personality has a chance to emerge.
