Sagittarius begins in later November between 20th and 22nd of the
month and extends until the Winter Solstice in later December, usually on the 21st. As I
stated in earlier pages, the beginnings and end of Astrological signs are mathematical
calculation based on the actual movement of the Earth around the Sun. Astrological Sign's
beginning moment change each year but they do have similar trends in 4 year cycles.
EXACTLY 30 degrees of arc in a 360 degree circle around EARTH is
the standard that defines all the Astrological Signs [30 degrees X 12 signs] and the
ZODIAC.... EACH !!, Astrology Sign is an absolute measure of distance, 30 degrees 0
minutes 0 seconds of arc out of 360 total. That, only, sets the boundaries of the Signs
not a certain number of days. AND. There is no such thing as a cusp when it comes to SUN
SIGNS. That's why some people born on April 21st are ARIES and some are TAURUS, also
that's why some folks born on June 22nd are GEMINI and some people born on September 23rd
are still VIRGO'S.
At Sunrise, each year on the first day of Sagittarius [usually
Nov 20th - 22nd], 0 degrees of Sagittarius is on the Eastern horizon. For Greenwich Mean
Time, by definition, that makes a person born at that time have a Sagittarius Ascendant of
0 degrees. Each Astrology Sign spends exactly 30 degrees of arc, approximately 2 hours on
the Ascendant each day, making the Earth rotate through the entire Zodiac each day. 2
hours [120 minutes] divided by 30 degrees equals 1 degree every 4 minutes. Time being a
living entity, is continually moving in the forward direction as the Earth spins within
the Zodiac.
On the Winter Solstice, the last day of Sagittarius each year 30
degrees of Sagittarius is on the horizon making people born soon after that moment a
Sagittarius with a Sagittarius Ascendant.
Each morning of Sagittarius an additional degree of the sign is
on the horizon at Sunrise and Sagittarius sunrises are around 6:30 AM each day.
By knowing the approximate time of sunrise, using the 2 hour per
sign rule and adding 1 degree each day; it is possible to realistically approximate a
persons Ascendant.
EXAMPLES: (1) Born on November 25th at 10:04 PM; 3 degrees
Sagittarius would be on the Ascendant. Subtract 6:45 AM from 22:04 or 10:04 PM giving you
a difference of 15:19 hr's. 15 hours = 225 degrees of arc + 19 minutes=4 3/4 degrees;
totaling 234 3/4 degrees. Add 234 3/4 degrees to 3 degrees of Sagittarius which equals 27
3/4 degrees of Cancer on the Ascendant...... (2) Born on December 13 at 5:54 AM; 22
degrees of Sagittarius is on the Eastern Horizon. 6:30 - 5:54 = 36 minutes. 0 hours 36
minutes before sunrise = an Ascendant 9 degrees earlier in Sagittarius or 13 degrees
Sagittarius.

You can now look to one of the 12 options below for an accurate
personality profile. Some may have to look at more than one caricature because you can't
accurately calculate an ascendant or you don't know your birth time. Very, Very rarely is
a persons birth TIME accurate, unless the mother or father happens to study Astrology. It
is a good idea to check the sign on either side of your calculated Ascendant or Moon to
see which fits the best.
If you've had your horoscope done you can look up the exact
information there. That chart will also give your Moon Sign. the Moon sign can also be
gotten from an Ephemeris [book of planetary tables].
These dissertations apply
generally to the Astrology combinations listed. For absolutely accurate
interpretations a full horoscope is required but these should give an general
indication to the individuals personality unless an all powerful aspect
dominates the native, i.e. Uranus square Mars, conjunct the node of Mars.
