Scorpio in Rising?

What does it mean? I have a Scorpio in rising and I have really never figured out what it meant.

You're not curious enough to play detective and search for the answers yourself?

Have you ever practiced your piercing stare in the mirror?

Have real Scorpio suns regarded you with suspicion upon the first meeting?

Scorpio Rising is the way you feel, on the outside. At first.

It's your shield from the world.

It means that Scorpio is what people will see first time they meet you. And what you see, the surface. A shield, like Wynter said.
