I need your help, Knowflakes!!!

What are the most telling similarities and differences between a Sag rising and an Aqua rising? You can touch upon personality traits as well as physical characteristics. Anything and everything will help!!

The two signs are so similar to me that I'm having the most difficult time separating which traits belong to which rising sign.

Your opinions are SO appreciated.

***********

EDIT:

My boyfriend's brother is the person in question. His birthtime is unknown but we do know it was in the morning. By simple deduction, it should either be Sag or Aquarius. Sag if he was born early morning and Aqua if he was born mid-morning.

Reading different interpretations has made me even more confused about his rising sign. My first impression was Sag rising but that's only because he already has Sag in his chart (Sun and another personal planet... I think it was Merc).

So that's why I need your fresh perspectives!

What's his Sun Sign?

I have a great book by Teri King that does 'horroscopes' of the ascendant and sun sign combined. It is a great book, very funny.

I read out the two possibles for my mother and she picked out the one she said sounded like her ~ it wasn't the most flattering but she said you had to face facts!

If you let me know I'll dig it out type them up for you.

from Teri King Sunrise/Sunset:

SAGITTARIUS SUN WITH SAGITTARIUS RISING

You're open and generous. People are attracted to your optimisitc spirit and things happen when you ar around. Others admire your adventurous impulses. It is likely that you are the most popular character around for miles ....


Horrorscope -: You've the emotions of a gadfly, the maternal instincts of an alleycat. You live in the present, have no use for the past and tomorrow never comes. The only reliable thing about you is your inconsistency. You casually offer to help your friends but if they take you up on the offer you soon disappear. Your personal relationships are a disaster. You stagger from one lover to the next, no wonder you head spins. You watch for those little signs that indicate to you that others may be about to ensare you, and keep your running shoes under the bed. However, you are so conceited that you frequently imagine that every member of the opposite sex wants to settle down with you. It never occurs to you that you would make the worlds lousiest spouse. "Ah!" you argue. "but I'm in such demand!" Sure, bu tthen you don't understand tha tothers are as capable of using you, as you are of using them. It's about time you woke up.

SAGITTARIUS SUN WITH AQUARIUS RISING

You are generous, impulsive, kind and concerned although others find it hard to achieve an intimate relationship with you. You hide your deeper feelings, only giving you all when you are convinced that this is the mate you have been wating for.

HORRORSCOPE:

You have as much tact as a bulldozer. Ture, you are open and hones and yes, other invariably know where they stand with you but this is because you do not hesitate to tell them. You bandy your opinions and criticisms around with tremendous zeal. It doesn't occur to you to consider the feelings of others, or to use a little diplomacy. However, you are totally unprepared when you find yourself on the receiving end of the same treatment. YOu feel a complete fool and are quick to dismiss the truth if it doesn't agree with you. Others can cope with you, at a distance. Therefore, most relationships tend to be shortlived and whilst you are not a true horror, you certainly are a self-opinionated bore.

I'm a Sag rising.

I ask a lot of questions.

I'm spontaneous and free-spirited (as are Aquarians though).

But, I think the worst part about having Sag rising is that I don't know when to keep my mouth shut. I often say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I don't think this is an Aquarian trait. I would think they would think something out before saying it - they're super intelligent that way :P

sag rising: athletic types, likes sports & anything adventurous, kind of have "horsy" faces (no offense to whoever has sag rising), looks kind of like a philosopher type, very open and friendly manner

aquarius rising: appearances are shocking and unusual, usually blonde/dirty blonde, drooping eyes, wants to always be seen as different, a humanitarian, friendly towards others

yup that's my opinion on those 2

Im aquarius rising and something ive always heard throughout my childhood was im very standoffish and people assume i hate them.


also if the person in question was born during the generation of uranus in sagittarius, it would make it hard to figure out his rising, because uranus would be in his 1st, and sun would conj uranus, making his rising seem very aquarian but could also be sagittarius.

sagittarius rules the thighs, does he gain weight in the thighs? ive noticed this in sag rising, have really fat/thigh. also aquarius rising, could have a lot of scars on the knees, or has fallen a lot on the knees/legs.

Nope, doesn't fit me at all... and I think my face is more like a mouse than a horse. Although I do love horses and I always have bangs that sometimes remind me of a shetland pony...

I think I'm usually easy and fun to get along with, I talk a lot, and love jokes and laughing... I like different cultures and that's apparent in the kind of documentaries I like to watch, the fact that I like languages and it could possibly be seen in my style of dress sometimes as I get into a lot of what most people would call "ethnic" style clothes and accessories...

Oh true about the thighs though, I gain weight there. I would say that this doesn't happen so much with the Aquarius risings.

Argh. Aquas and Saggies are SO similar. He's also a Sag sun so it's even harder to part the two ascendants because he's very Saggie.

Horse-like face? Like a prominent nose bridge? Well, couldn't that be his Sag Sun? Not blonde/blue eyes. He has brown hair and dark eyes but the Aqua rising fits better than Sag because he doesn't seem to gain weight in the thighs. He's actually pretty slim all around but built at the same time.

This is confusing me even more. He's also really athletic and active so now I don't know. Can we delve moreinto the physical characteristics between the two risings?

Question to those whose ASC is either in Sag or Aqua.... What is the rest of your chart placements? Namely, what is your sun sign placement?

I'm finding this hard especially because the guy in question is a Saggie Sun and very into it. Very active, very open, very worldly... your typical Sagittarius. Therefore, the Sag rising seems so right. But so does the Aquarius rising.

Insight into physical characteristics, or actual "quirks" would be helpful. Something distinguishing/exclusive to Sag or Aqua rising would be awesome.

Man man is Aqua Sun and Aqua ASC, so probably his sun sign also influences his appearance, but he is very, very tall, slim and has an exquisite "noble" profile (Linda mentions this in her Sun sign book).
His eyes are like a mirror, you can't see his feelings if you don't know him well.

He forgets everything all the time, he's probably the least organized person I know.

I'm not quite sure what it is about me that *looks* Sagittarian apart from that I gain weight in the thighs, really. Maybe my long hair is like a horse's mane or tail. Being a fire rising I do have a tendency to red/auburn hair. But I'm also Jupiter in Aries. My other placements are:

Taurus sun
Scorpio moon
Venus in Gemini
Mars in Pisces
Pluto square ascendant
Sun trine ascendant.

I don't know if this helps at all, but...

The second one is a couple of years old but I think it demonstrates the "horse's tail" effect. So maybe I do look like a horse!

Maybe other Sag risings could post pictures so we can find similarities?

Now, I don't know that much about the physical characteristics of Aquarius, but I can tell you about those of us Sags ...

So, I wouldn't say Sags have horse-like faces (what's that anyway???) ... Sag faces are more oval shaped with high foreheads. Overall the Sag features are well rounded while Aquarians have somewhat square faces. Sags aren't necessarily athletic built ... they come in all sizes, so to speak. I have seen Sag risings (as well as people with a Sag stellium) that were pretty short and somewhat chubby, I have seen some that were pretty fat (just think of Danny DeVito ... he has Sag rising if I remember correctly), and I have also seen some that are slim with extremely long legs and short torsos. Sags put on weight pretty easily, after all Sag is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion. However, from what I have seen they usually gain weight on the hips and the belly rather than on the thighs.

Hope this helps!!!

Lana: Can you define Linda's version of "noble profile?"

GeminiLover: Love the photos! Now I can totally see the "horse's mane" thing. I think it's how you carry yourself - horses are very regal in how they hold themselves.

SagSun: Are you a Sag Rising?

i'm a sag rising and i have big teeth. which i hear is a horse like quality

also jumbo thighs.

i think the key difference between sag and aquarius rising would be excitment. i get excited very easily and i find it hard to sit still. i think aquas get excited to but it would be more erratic and more to do with thinking and being weird, as opposed to just super excited and fun and animated and physically active..

My friend and I were born a few hours apart so we have the same suns and moons but I rise in Aquarius and she is Sag which makes us appear very different.
I think Aqua rising cares more about appearance. They like to look unique. Whereas Sag likes to dress comfy and casual.
Aqua rising is not as friendly to strangers as Sag. I can be seen as aloof even though Im not, while my Sag rising friend is very social, bubbly, friendly to strangers.
Those are two main differences I think.

No, I have Pisces rising, but I have a 5 planet stellium in Sag (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) and from what I can tell I look more like a Sag than a Pisces. My SO has Sag rising with Mercury and Neptune in Sag. The physical traits I described fit both him and me.

K, hope this shows up. This is my bff and I, born three days apart. We are both Sag Suns, she is an Aqua Asc/Moon. I am a Sag Asc/Pisces Moon. I am the one on the right, with the polk a dots.

Aqua rising, my bff alone.

Aqua rising(Mom) Sag Rising (Me again)

Sag Moons, Hubby Libra Asc, Baby Aqua rising

Hope that helps I do see the horsey in my Self. My hair falls around my face, especially my bangs. My face is narrow and I'm very klutzy.

*Whoa, major oops. I am sorry these came out so big, I have no idea how to adjust the size*

Planet_Soul! I know this sounds weird but something about you actually reminds me of *me*... yeah we look different but I see something there. I just realised you can't see my forehead in either of the pictures I posted, but someone mentioned that Sag risings can have a high forehead... I definitely have that. The strange thing is that I can't relate to the second picture of myself anymore... I was 30 then but still not very mature within myself, I think you can see that in the picture. I think that Pluto ticking over my ascendant recently kinda 'did' something. Nothing bad, but just... 'something'. Weird I know.

Oh I just remembered two celebrities who have Sagittarius rising: Brigitte Bardot and Marc Bolan. I'll find some pictures and post them.
