Rising signs

Rising is the part of your chart a stranger meets first. It takes a known birth time to find, and it can look nothing like your Sun.

  • Aries RisingAries Rising walks in like it’s late for something exciting. What people assume about you, what they get wrong, and how it plays out on a first date.
  • Taurus RisingTaurus Rising gives off a calm people want to sit next to. Why you get taken for easygoing, and what’s going on behind that unhurried face.
  • Gemini RisingGemini Rising comes across as curious, funny and always mid-sentence. What people miss about you, and why that first impression can look shallow when it isn’t.
  • Cancer RisingCancer Rising looks approachable and takes in everything. Why people tell you their problems, and why you’re more guarded than your soft manner suggests.
  • Leo RisingPeople notice Leo Rising when it walks in. Why you get taken for more confident than you are, and what it’s like when the warmth on show is also a shield.
  • Virgo RisingVirgo Rising comes across as tidy, modest and sharp-eyed. Why people think you’re judging them, and what’s more often going on behind that careful look.
  • Libra RisingLibra Rising puts people at ease on sight. Why others assume you agree with them, why it’s lonely to be liked by everyone, and how to show a real opinion.
  • Scorpio RisingScorpio Rising can seem intense before saying a word. Why people find you intriguing or a bit scary, and how to let someone past that first impression.
