Whose rising sign is the opposite of your sun?

Understanding Opposite Rising and Sun Signs in Astrology

Opposite rising signs occur when your ascendant is opposite another person's sun sign, creating contrasting personalities. For example, a Capricorn rising may have an opposite sign like Cancer or Capricorn, influencing how you present yourself and relate to others. This dynamic can reveal differences in approach and perspective based on your sun and rising sign combination.

I'm a Cancer sun Capricorn rising, which causes quite a bit of self-hatred.
How 'bout you?

Heyyy, I'm a Gemini rising.
Cap sun.
I get along really well with Sags — my rising opposite their sun. Maybe I have a lot of Cancer rising friends!

Your sun sign is how you identify yourself. Your rising is how you want to be perceived by others.

your rising sign is the exterior. our outer core. it is the face we show to the world and how we behave in public. when meeting someone new for the first time, you tend to show them your rising sign and eventually your sun sign shows while chatting. hope i'm making sense here.

well if you ever stop to wonder why you seem to get along with sun signs that's not compatible with yours, it's because your rising is the same as their sun sign. so the answer would be yes your rising has something to do with the people you get along with.

That's not really the case with me for some reason. My rising is Cancer but I don't really get along with Cancers all that well.

Mine is; I'm an Aries sun and Libra moon, 180 degrees apart; literal opposites but compliment each other well. I'm thankful for my Libra, it makes me a much more sensitive and intuitive Aries.

Gemini rising, sagittarius sun and descendant, my rising is at 12 degrees and my sun at 1 degree so a wide angle but I do love Sagittarius people although more platonically I suppose. My venus in cap needs to tie someone down :p

He will be quite the charmer, and have lots of girls after him. He might even pick one. 😄

Taurus rising Scorpio sun. People think I am easy going and can't see that underneath that there is LOTS of things going on lol

But I don't really have hard times with it

I have the same combination and relate! The opposition is only 1 degree, so strong.
