Rising Sign:
Also known as the Ascendant. The degree at which the Zodiac rests over the eastern horizon of the birthplace at the moment of one's birth; commonly refers to the Sign which is peering over the horizon at that very moment. A new Sign rises approximately every two hours. The Rising Sign represents one's persona and image to the world.

The first house in our charts is called the ascendant or the rising sign. This is the front door to our inner worlds and how others first see us. It is the projection of our personalities that we find here, not necessarily our true personality. It is how we express ourselves with those who are not intimate nor close friends. Important friends are invited to explore the other rooms and areas of our home. Casual associates or passing connections we tend to keep at or close to this astrological front door.
The rising sign also acts as a shield, a barrier that we erect to protect ourselves, to keep a certain distance between us and the world in general and a buffer zone that allows us to assimilate our environment. Physical features are often seen through the rising sign. The often ruddy complexion and fierce stare of Aries Rising, the gentle roundness of Cancer Rising, the sidewise look of Scorpio Rising.
While our rising signs our not "who we are" they are a wonderful hint at the person who makes up the totality of the chart

cj7 why don't you like us? I'm a Libra with Scorpio Rising, and lots of Scorpio throughout my chart. I Married a Scorpio. Tell us why?
I was under the impression that our rising sign is really who we are, not a shield!!!

cj7, I take it you've had a recent negative experience with a Scorpio rising lady. Sorry to hear that. About whether rising signs indicate who we really are, or who we seem to be, I've always read it's the latter and not the former.

i met two on the same night around christmas, both were a disappointment. one was a virgo, she just has been trying to communicate lately and i see it as a waste of time and energy. what u see is not what u get.

ummm.....people, unless you are one of the two females i am refering to, i dont think i would take it personally. i know my statement was a general one but it stems from something specific. i like the scorpio part but i would rather it be her sun sign i guess.

now james if i had said i dont like candlegirl or jaya because they have scorpio rising that would be a different story, but since i didnt i dont think that it was too harsh.πŸ™‚

actually i enjoyed the company of both, a libra and the virgo. in typical scorpio fashion they did not like each other and had very strong opinions on why. must have been a competion thing. the libra told me some jerry springer type stories that made me rethink any relationship possibilites the virgo basically wants to just have sex and nothing else. maybe five years ago that would have been appealing but im best when i can be passionate about someone. if i
im not supposed to feel anything then i wont and thats not fun. i dunno, i must be getting old.lol
