Famous Sagittarius Risings
Sagittarius rising is warm, frank and larger than life. Famous Sagittarius risings include Princess Diana, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah Winfrey, Bob Dylan, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, Jimi Hendrix and Brad Pitt: very public lives, all with the same open, generous first impression.
The Rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign that was coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It describes how a person meets the world and how the world first sees them. Sagittarius rising, ruled by Jupiter, gives an open, warm and adventurous manner.
The Rising sign changes about every two hours, so it can only be known with a birth time. This page shows only charts with a time on record, rated AA or A.

What they share
Each of them broke with the expected manner of their world. Princess Diana brought informality to a very formal institution. Elvis Presley was famous for his generosity, and Elizabeth Taylor for her frankness and humour off screen. Jimi Hendrix found fame on another continent before his own country caught on, and Brad Pitt's breakthrough came playing a charming drifter. Bob Dylan changed his name and his sound more than once, Brigitte Bardot walked away from film at 39, Oprah Winfrey talked to a television audience of millions as if to one friend, and Marlon Brando, with Jupiter in his 1st house, made rule-breaking part of the job.
