A dreamy kindness: compassion, faith in others, and a wish to change the world, somewhat by feel.
Jupiter on both sides: the compassion of Pisces and the faith of Sagittarius, for a generous ideal that aims high.
Carrying a generous ideal with a faith and a compassion that touch the people they meet.
Getting lost in dreams too vast and neglecting material realities.

December and March cross at a right angle: the wave and the flame, both mobile.
One and the same king governs them for the ancients, Zeus, master here of the Sun as of the east; the moderns add Neptune. Tradition saw in these two homes of Jupiter two faces of the same goodness: the faith that sets out to conquer the world, the compassion that welcomes everything. The person seems gentle, dreamy, receptive. They listen with a disarming compassion.
The Sun enthroned at the zenith, 10th house: public vocation comes to the fore. Fulfilling a mission is their aim, often in the service of an ideal: running a humanitarian organization, teaching, creating an artistic work, defending a cause. They may become an inspiring public figure, known for their generosity and vision. They inspire by example more than by speeches.
The square has its flip side: vagueness. Pisces dreams, Sagittarius promises; the person may commit to projects too vast, neglect practical details, believe unrealistic promises. They may also scatter themselves among too many causes. The Spike, in the west, would advocate realism; its representatives turn dreams into action plans. A rigorous partner would be precious to them.
Generosity and idealism guide a Sagittarius Sun with Pisces rising in love: they dream of a companion who shares their values, their dreams, perhaps a mission.
The Spike on the setting would have them meet practical, watchful, readily critical minds. This pragmatism ruffles them at first, then spares them many castles in the air. Listening to their concrete advice, without taking offense, would strengthen the relationship and their confidence. Mutual trust would then grow.
Humanitarian action, teaching, art, spirituality, publishing, music, accompaniment: the combination seeks a career that has meaning and serves an ideal.
The Sun at the zenith would give value to reputation and public mission. Colleagues follow them for their vision. The trap would be neglecting the practical and financial aspects of their projects, at the risk of seeing them fail for lack of budget.
Music, wisdom texts, volunteering, strolls along a canal: each day balances between dream and commitment.
The home is soft, full of books, symbolic objects, pilgrimage souvenirs. Deadlines sometimes slip away from them, and so do keys. A simple agenda, consulted every morning with coffee, would help them keep their course without losing their freedom. They gladly give their time to others.
Zeus holds two thrones in the ancient doctrine, the Centaur and the Fish: he thus rules here, alone, the Sun and the horizon, and would sit at home in both.
Neptune, spotted by Galle in 1846 and then associated with Pisces, is added in current interpretation.
Pisces rises around noon, when the December Sun culminates, very low on the southern horizon. The birth sign thus occupies the midheaven, the Greeks’ 10th house, seat of actions, offices, and renown. A culminating archer would want to leave a visible mark, put to the service of their convictions.
The Sun sign depends on the day of birth; the rising sign, on the time and place.
Pisces takes about 58 min to rise in Paris: with the Sun in Sagittarius, the rising sign is Pisces for a birth during that rise.

It is hard to be more so: a single planet, Jupiter, rules both the inner self and the manner. Generosity, idealism, faith, compassion converge. The pitfall would be vagueness, promises too vast, and forgetting material constraints, which a pragmatic circle would help to remember. Their loved ones often help them keep their feet on the ground.
A rising Pisces hoists the Centaur to the zenith, into the place of public action and renown. One would see an archer in search of a visible mission, in the service of an ideal. Working at a job devoid of meaning would quickly become unbearable. Meaning would count for more than the title.
A single planet ruling both signs becomes the key to the chart. Here, Jupiter: his sign, his sector, and his aspects tint both identity and manner. Exalted in Cancer, he would accentuate goodness; exiled in Gemini or Virgo, he would scatter their impulses further.
