Answer 1

your rising which is also call a Ascendant is a Scorpio . Scorpio Rising - General

You have keen animal instincts, a deeply instinctual and passionate nature, and access to forces that can be used for healing and regeneration - of yourself, other individuals, or society. Strong-willed and powerful in a quiet understated sort of way, you are always a force with which to be reckoned. You know intuitively where another's pain or weakness lies, and can thus be a natural healer - or a terrible enemy, if your energies are directed toward conflict. Learning to trust and follow your instincts, and to focus your will upon positive intents, are keys to fulfilling your highest destiny. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.
Scorpio Ascendant from the Cosmo Natal Report:

"You are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When you want something you go after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and you usually get it.

You are not a person who lives lightly or superficially. You want to live passionately and intensely and are not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. You function well in crisis situations and often seek them out, for you enjoy the feeling of living at full capacity.

You are very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. You usually have strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. You approach life very instinctively and are not always fully conscious of why you feel or act as you do. You also have a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal kind of rapport with them.

In relation to others, you are rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until you get to know and trust them - and trust doesn't come easily to you. When you commit yourself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, you are intensely loyal and devoted to them and you also expect the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If you are ever betrayed by someone you care deeply for, you are capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as you once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, you are intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever you care about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in you.

Because of your natural reserve, others may see you as something of an enigma. You are quite self-protective and often defensive. You are also very magnetic, especially to members of the opposite sex

Answer 2

Your rising sign is the eastern horizon, or starting point in your astrology chart. For example if you were born at sunrise, you would often have the same rising sign as your sun sign and be a Taurus rising called a double Taurus. You need to get your chart done to find out for sure what it is; it shows - the rising how your outward personality is, and how you outwardly present yourself yourself to the world, which may be very different than a Taurus.... have fun with astrology - it's just for fun... don't use it as gospel truth but a way to find interesting stuff about yourself and others...

Answer 3

Technically speaking, your Rising sign -- or Ascendant -- reflects the zodiac sign that was ascending on the Eastern horizon at the moment you took your first breath in this world. This is why an exact birth time is so vital to finding your accurate rising sign. Located on the cusp of the first house of your astrological chart -- or at the nine o'clock position -- the rising sign can exert an influence almost as powerful as your Sun and Moon signs.

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. For example, though your Sun sign might be Taurus, your rising sign could very well be Gemini. While you're feeling laid-back, others will tend to see you as a ball of nervous energy and cerebral wit.

At times, your Rising sign may act as a mask, hiding some aspect of your inner self you don't feel like revealing.

My starting to be sign is Capricorn- sextile my venus/pluto in Scorpio, conjunct my neptune in Capricorn, trine my moon in Gemini with saturn in Aquarius interior the 1st domicile. Capricorn and saturn are linked with dermis and bones. I even have dry dermis, yet an excellent complextion. I even have evidently good, rapidly, nicely formed, white tooth. I even have under no circumstances broken a bone or suffered an zits attack. i'm 5'7" and weigh adequate to make me obese, yet I even have under no circumstances been referred to as "fat" by ability of anybody. Capricorn starting to be has endowed me with being narrow and nicely porportioned. i think of the venus/pluto conjunction that sextiles my starting to be makes me look busty and massive-hipped. i'm in many circumstances instructed that I even have mattress room eyes, that they are very darkish and metallic-like, or that i glance like i'm under no circumstances there (dreamy neptune does this to me). most of the those that I meet and befriend tell me that i'm intimidating. I even tend to stare into human beings, particularly than at human beings and that i like to pass the line to work out the place the obstacles lie. I even have the two ambitious Scorpio and inquisitive Gemini to thank for my accepted inquisitions. as quickly as I initiate engaged on something, I won't end till it is carried out. i've got been referred to as OCD because of the fact I even tend to be a administration freak and would't stand it whilst something isn't carried out a undeniable way. I in many circumstances get my way and have a confusing time accepting whilst i do no longer. If i'm fairly set on getting what i want, I artwork for it or control the hell out of the persons i'd desire to get it. for helpful, I save few and intensely unswerving acquaintances. i'm very independant and luxuriate in being on my own. i think of the starting to be sign, it is components, and the planets in signs and warning signs that component it impact the two the character and the actual self.
