Does Leo rising make me a Leo ?

Question

I have Leo rising and Taurus as a sun sign. Leo would be in my first house though.

Answer 1

No, you are a Taurus. Leo is the constellation that was rising at the time of your birth.

Your rising sign represents first impressions and how the rest of the world perceives you. You can look at the characteristics of Leo and get an idea of the type of person others think you are. The rising sign is always placed in the first house. If you look to see which sign is in your 7th house, directly opposite your rising, that sign is your descendant, and it represents the type of person you are attracted to. (Not just love interests, but friends and colleagues as well)


If you had your chart done, look to see where your moon is as well. Your moon sign represents self-perception. The characteristics of your moon sign are what you think of yourself.

Of course, there are many other factors in Astrology that dig much deeper, these just scratch the surface. Have fun!

Answer 2

You are Taurus with Leo rising

Ascendant or rising sign is the degree of the zodiac rising over the eastern horizon of the birthplace at the moment of birth. This degree forms the first house cusp of a horoscope and is of great personal significance in the character and life of the individual.

The Sun Sign is what most people know without a doubt. It is also (usually) the most obvious part of the personality. The Sun is the conscious self. It is the behavior one is most comfortable with. It is the every day, fair-weather self. But there is much more to you than your Sun Sign..

.. when emotions run high....

That's when the Moon Sign comes out. We generally react in emotional situations according to the Moon Sign. This is the primal, subconscious self. You may even fantasize about behaving more like that sign, but it may not feel natural to you unless you're filled with happiness or sadness or anger. The Moon Sign also comes out when you feel very safe - either by yourself or with people you trust.

But what about...


The Rising Sign?

This is the most difficult element of the chart to explain, but may be even more important than the Sun Sign. In a nutshell, it is the Higher Self. You came into this life with one of the 12 signs of the zodiac on the horizon. This sign represents your horizon - your aspirations, what you look for in the world, and what you want to reflect. It is not surprising that much of your outward appearance, or the way you present yourself to others is determined by the Rising Sign, (and also by any planets that were rising when you were born - the Sun, Moon and planets rule the Zodiac - so a person with Venus rising is much like a Libra or Taurus rising, and Moon rising is just like Cancer rising, etc.) We want to attract and bring into our lives that which we aspire to. A Libra rising person looks for beauty, equality and comfort - and his/her natural beauty and charm are helpful in bringing it. An Aries rising individual looks for excitement and new challenges. Her/his look of bold determination and fearlessness is conducive to finding it!

Why is the Rising Sign so important? Once you discover why you have the particular Rising Sign you do, you will be on the road to realizing and sharing one of your most powerful gifts. It represents an important aspect of what you were born to work on perfecting in this life

Answer 3

You are a Taurus Sun Sign (which is the core of your being, your will, the fuel that drives your personality)
Leo Ascendant/Rising represents the outward expression of you. What the word sees. It is at the first cusp of your 1house.

Answer 4

If you were to think of your Sun sign as your soul -- your inner personality and potential -- and your Moon sign as your heart -- your emotional core -- then you could say that your rising sign is your physical self or the face you present to the world.

The sun (to integrate) in Taurus (Enduring and Possessive).

Like a heavy rock, you are hard to move, but once to start moving you are hard to stop (fixed). You tend to stick with what you have, being reluctant to change. You tend to accumulate wealth, etc (possessive). In your life, you tend to be practical (earth). Your thinking is usually down-to-earth (earth). You are a good listener and are slow to react. You may have a tendency to act because of others, rather than to be be self-caused (passive).


Rising Sign is Leo (Impressive and Creative)

You put up a very confident front. You appear as proud and sure of yourself as can be. People expect drama from you, and they will be disappointed if you don't deliver the spiritedness one counts on with the Lion-hearted. You carry yourself with distinction, and you catch everyone's eye whether you like it or not. If others see these regal Leo qualities, they may pick up on the some negative Leo vibes -- like smugness or over-the-top vanity. Despite that perceived self-interest, you're bound to be popular in whatever clique you find yourself.
