Sagittarius Sun, Libra Moon, Capricorn Rising
The Velvet Arrow, with Capricorn at the front door.
Packs light, talks big, chases the horizon
A Sagittarius Sun makes you an explorer. New places, big ideas and honest conversations light you up. You want to be seen as adventurous, open-minded and fun, the friend who always has a story and a plan for the next trip.

The Moon in Libra looks for balance and good company. You feel best when the people around you are getting along and the space around you is pleasant. You are gracious and fair, and you can sometimes put off your own feelings to keep things smooth.

Capricorn Rising gives you a composed, capable first impression. You approach life seriously and strategically, with an eye on long-term goals. People often assume you are older or more senior than you are, and then discover your very dry sense of humor.
More on Capricorn RisingHow the three combine
Your Sun, Moon and Rising sit in three different elements: fire for who you are becoming, air for what you need, and earth for how you meet the world. People who know one side of you may not recognize the others, and that range is one of your strengths.
Two of the three are cardinal signs, so your default is to starts things.
Your Sun and Moon: The Velvet Arrow
Fire and air cooperate well, and this pairing has an easy social charm. The Sagittarius Sun wants truth, freedom and a wide world to explore. The Libra Moon needs harmony, beauty and a partner in crime. You will state the unpopular opinion at dinner, then spend twenty minutes making sure no one went home upset. Mutable Sun, cardinal Moon: you are open to anything, and you take the lead in bringing people together. Your apartment tends to be tasteful, your guest list is wide, and your friends from different worlds get along because you introduced them properly.
Capricorn Rising in front of it
People tend to take you seriously right away. You carry yourself with quiet authority and speak with care. Strangers read you as competent, reserved and possibly in charge; new coworkers may ask you questions you have no official reason to answer. You come across as trustworthy. Some find you hard to approach at first, until a well-timed deadpan joke breaks the ice.
Rising and Sun: Neighboring signs, 30 degrees apart. Different elements and a different pace: each holds something the other has just left behind.
Rising and Moon: Three signs apart, 90 degrees. The same modality in clashing elements: friction, and the kind of friction that gets things moving.
People see someone steady and in control. Inside, you may feel the weight of expectations more than you show, and you can doubt yourself while looking completely sure. The serious front protects a softer, funnier person. Letting people see you be silly, or admitting you are tired, often brings you closer to them.
