Your rising sign — which should not be ignored — is probably the most underrated aspect of your astrological birth chart. Bruja, astrologer, and spiritual worker Marisol Espinoza Viera told Allure that your rising sign "signifies the native's self, physical body, character, and appearance" and colors not only people's first impressions of you, but your initial reaction to the world around you.

Personal growth borders on an obsession for a lot of Sagittarian ascendants, warns Cosmopolitan. Jupiter's influence over the sign can turn up the intensity of the restlessness you feel if you stick to one thing, even if it's a way of thinking, for too long. Stagnation equals suffocation for you, which Cafe Astrology says can leave you constantly looking for something — if only you could figure out what. Something has to challenge you to keep your attention, which is why you should read "Bright Dead Things" by Ada Limón.

Named "Best Poetry Book of 2015" by both The New York Times and Buzzfeed, "Bright Dead Things" has been described as "effortlessly lyrical" with poems that are "like fires: charring the page, but leaving a smoke that remains past the close of the book" (via Bookshop). Not only will Limón's work breathe new life into your seemingly never-ending self-improvement project, but speaks with what the Los Angeles Review calls "unabashed and strong emotional language," which is a Sagitarrian's native tongue.
