upbringing + what you strive for

Aries IC + Libra MC: You had parents who probably drove you to be independent. They wanted you to not need them, they wanted you to be assertive. Compromise may have been a struggle for you, and now you strive for equality.

Taurus IC + Scorpio MC: You had parents that probably gave you a very nice home. Lots of decorations and lots of food were provided to you. There was a sense of shallowness in your childhood that you wanted to escape, and now, you want to find the secrets of the world.

Gemini IC + Sagittarius MC: You might’ve struggled with communicating to your parents, so communicating became very important to you. Troubling communication made your restless in your childhood. Now, you want to learn and share everything you know.

Cancer IC + Capricorn MC: You may have been overly clingy in your childhood, even though your parents provided you with everything you needed. You constantly felt anxious of being the best in your family due to being provided. You now want to be responsible and hard-working.

Leo IC + Aquarius MC: In your childhood, you may have wanted to stand out and to be constantly in the spotlight. You wanted attention and love, but you weren’t provided with enough of this. Now, you want to be independent and help others around you, rather than help yourself. 

Virgo IC + Pisces MC: You were given the harsh realities of the world at very young age. You were surrounded by the many stresses of a certain parent, or you were exposed to the diseases of the world. Due to this, you want to be a helping, compassionate, healing hand to to others.

Libra IC + Aries MC: Your parents probably told you to follow instead of leading. You always had to play “nice” with the other kids, and you got in trouble for asserting yourself. Now, you want to lead others and create your own path.

Scorpio IC + Taurus MC: Your childhood was probably secretive. You looked to be approved, but instead you were manipulated by members of your family and you did not get the love you wanted. Now, you try to make and seek your own comforts, since you lacked it in your childhood.

Sagittarius IC + Gemini MC: You might’ve had a strict teacher-student relationship with one of your parents. One of your parents may have scolded you a lot, and maybe twisted the truth to fit themselves. Now, you have a deep urge to explore and find the truth you never found in your childhood.

Capricorn IC + Cancer MC: Your parents were perhaps very cold and harsh to you. Your childhood felt more like a job, and fulfilling your duties was a must. Now, you seek to find the warmth and nurturing you never received with a strong need to provide love and care to others.

Aquarius IC + Leo MC: Much of your childhood was spent being part of a large community and in a circle of friends. You never really felt you blended in. Due to this, you now want to stand out and to be recognized, and to have fun in the world.

Pisces IC + Virgo MC: Your childhood could be many things, but it was definitely confusing. Family troubles were hidden, and you didn’t know what your family really was. So, you escaped into your little world. Now, you want to find and confront the harsh realities of life, and work hard.

Ascending Ascension 

The ascending sign is our experience of individual awareness….just knowing that “I” exists… … it is a key in human interaction and social activity. without other people there to witness, the ascending-descending axis vanishes. the ascending sign can express most purely through our presentation. some people’s rising signs are so evident in their features. this is where you can get a real visual of the signs at play through the ascendant. the ascendant sign indicates the chart’s ruler through the sign’s ruling planet. 

Aries rising: Chart Ruler: Mars Dynamism, proactive essence, challenger, intuitive. Pushes personal boundaries in search of experience

Taurus rising Chart Ruler: Venus Socialite, beauty, appreciation of art, tender, indulgent. Uses resources and beauty as an extension of personal identity

Gemini rising  Chart Ruler: Mercury  Clever, quicksilver, talkative, mysterious, youthful. Zig-zagging through multiplications of duality and resolution, and to reconcile these oppositions through communication

Cancer rising Chart Ruler: Moon Harmonic, hidden, receptive, habitual, indulgent. Identity expression drawing from waters of ancestors, emotions, and memories

Leo rising  Chart Ruler: Sun Effervescent, commanding, entitled, vital, showy. Enveloping material, heart, spiritual, and emotional into a gallery

Virgo rising  Chart Ruler: Mercury  Reactive, intelligent, technical, youthful. Synthesising mind with material, the needs of the self with other

Libra rising Chart Ruler: Venus Sociable, amicable, reflective, transparent, grace. Playing with other personalities gives sparkle to the marble identity, a synthesis of social experiences, understanding ‘i’ to become ‘us’

Scorpio rising Chart Ruler: Mars/Pluto (depends on strength of aspects, sign, and house position. If Mars is in dignity, or receives multiple aspects, or via elevated chart position, Mars is the chart ruler. The same application for Pluto) Mars: Controlling, passionate, desiring, seductive Pluto: Hypnotic, mysterious, compulsive, surveilling Potent desires surface through the immediate expression, an erotic display of continual transformation, conflict, and obsession

Sagittarius rising  Chart Ruler: Jupiter Bohemian, spirited, prosperous, contemplative, sunny. A cinema size projector is raised to create a life exhibition displaying experience

Capricorn rising  Chart Ruler: Saturn Security conscious, guilty, reticent, wise, sad. Attempting to escape the parent’s moulding the individual summons talent, material, and applicable creative resource

Aquarius rising  Chart Ruler: Saturn/Uranus (depends on strength of aspects, sign, and house position. If Uranus is in dignity, or receives multiple aspects, or via elevated chart position, Uranus is the chart ruler. The same application for Saturn) Saturn: Guarded, intelligent, isolated, different, moody Uranus: Utopian, reckless, obscure, ingenious, intuitive Identification with higher forces and reflection of the self in everything

Pisces rising  Chart Ruler: Jupiter/Neptune (depends on strength of aspects, sign, and house position. If Jupiter is in dignity, or receives multiple aspects, or via elevated chart position, Jupiter is the chart ruler. The same application for Neptune) Jupiter: Charitable, spiritual, generous, devoted, searching Neptune: Mystical, confused, tranquilized, sufferer Sensitivity and vagueness diffuses like melting mist

What’s Not To Love?

(Ascendant/Rising Sign!)

Aries Rising: Your confidence radiates onto everyone around you and you brighten every room with your fun-loving outlook on life. We can tell you know exactly what you want and can do anything you set your mind to, and it motivates us all to follow in your footsteps. Admirably, you seem know where you’re going and what you want your life to be in 10 years while we’re still trying to figure out what we’re doing next week. You’re everyone’s motivation to try harder and make stuff happen! Independent, smart, popular and optimistic - what’s not to love about an Aries Rising?

Taurus Rising: How do you stay so level headed at all times? We wish we had the ability to stop, think and come up with a great solution to anything like you can. You’re so easy-going and calm, it’s comforting to us and our hot heads. The way you have such set in stone opinions and aren’t afraid to share them is amazing to us; we can never just decide on something so confidently and stick with it. Your grass always seems so much greener, how do you do it? You’re always so generous, content and beautiful in everything you do. Patient, stunning, strong-willed and loyal - what’s not to love about a Taurus Rising?

Gemini Rising: You always know exactly what to say, I swear! It’s amazing how you can keep the conversation going so well regardless of the topic. We’re so drawn to the way you seem to know something about everything and could listen to you talk forever. The way you want to educate yourself on so many things at once is amazing to watch. You’re some of the funniest people ever; you can make anyone laugh with just a look! You blitz through tasks so quickly - how do you make everything look so easy? We’re never be bored when we’re with you. Hilarious, talkative, intelligent and free - what’s not to love about a Gemini Rising?

Cancer Rising: Your gentle soul is so inviting to those around you. You make us feel as though we’re old friends! Quietly, you watch us all and learn from our mistakes rather than your own, which is a quality we’d love to have. You’re enchanting and reserved yet somehow you’re so reassuring and soothing to be around; a silent supporter. Without fail, you know exactly what will make us feel better when we’re down. The person we all come to for advice or help and so smart as well! Some of the kindest people to ever walk this planet. Lovely, subtle, authentic and persistent - what’s not to love about a Cancer Rising? 

Leo Rising: Your magnetic appeal is something we all wish we could say we have. You know what you’re about and you’re not afraid to show it! It’s a blessing to even be acquainted with you, especially with the way you shine so brightly. Not only are you the most alluring, but you’re some of the strongest people in the world! You bulldoze anyone in your way with such agility and poise; it’s as if you barely noticed anything happened. In moments when most would break down and give up, you take charge and know exactly what to do! Passionate and always reliable, you are so uplifting to be around! Charismatic, eloquent, proud and respectful - what’s not to love about a Leo Rising?

Virgo Rising: Some of the most caring people in the world, they’ll do anything to help another person. You’re so precise and capable in everything you do and it is admired by everyone around you. We know if we need help figuring something out, you’re the person to go to. The way you help us break things down and sort through information is amazing and it is always so comforting to know we have you by our side. You catch all the little things that we miss in our haste to get things done! Always doing something, you’re some of the most productive people we know. Practical, skillful, humble and caring - what’s not to love about a Virgo Rising?

Libra Rising: You’re some of the most beautiful people we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. The way you are able to be so graceful and perfect in the way you blitz through life is unreal. You’re a people pleaser which draws everyone towards you but you also know how to use your charm to get what you want; the best of both worlds. No matter where we go with you, you manage to make it feel as though we’ve stepped into a harmonious world of happiness and sunshine. Soft and romantic, people want to know you and are immediately attracted to your elegant outer shell. Fair, opinionated, persuasive and accommodating - what’s not to like about a Libra Rising?

Scorpio Rising: We literally feel your presence from the other side of the room, you’re so captivating. You rarely go unnoticed, especially with such intense eyes. Your ability to assist us through rough times and help us come back even better than before is something so amazing to experience or even just watch. Sensitive yet so powerful, you’re mesmerizing in everything you do. Your power to recover so quickly from problems that would completely destroy us is incredible. Deep feelers, you experience everything so intensely and hold yourself so tastefully that we never even question your actions. You see through any superficiality and know exactly who you want to associate yourself with. Powerful, emotional, brooding and creative - what’s not to love about a Scorpio Rising?

Sagittarius Rising: Everything you encounter means something to you, regardless of what it is. You can find meaning and importance in everything you come across which makes you very uplifting to be around. Every day has a new goal in store for you and you never waste the chance to chase it. The light-hearted, enthusiastic energy you never stop radiating makes us want to join you on every quest you go on! It’s as if you don’t care where you’re going, you just want to be on your way and we all want to join you! The life of the party, it’s never boring when you’re around and you naturally adapt so well to every circumstance you’re put into. To you, everything is so grand and exciting; it’s an outlook we’d love to share. Spiritual, humorous, active and willing - what’s not to love about a Sagittarius Rising?

Capricorn Rising: Your maturity and wisdom is so captivating to everyone around you, it’s as if you know everything without trying. Unconventionally mysterious, you draw others in by looking as though you’re unfazed by whatever is happening around you. We want to see what’s behind your eyes and how you’re just so darn cool. Watching you really let loose is something that we aspire to witness because it doesn’t happen often but when it does, it’s something you don’t want to miss. You’re able to help us put things in perspective which is why we always come to you for help, especially when we’re confused. Your the one voted most competent and you always come through too. Successful, respectful, rational and fun - what’s not to love about a Capricorn Rising?

Aquarius Rising: You work so well with large groups of people and easily accept everyone around you as individuals and equals. You’re the outsider, but the way you waltz through life makes us want to join you on the outside. You can make literally anything work to your advantage in a way that we can’t help but respect and aspire towards. An advocate for the underdog, we know when the going gets tough, you get going! We all need someone to help us think differently to the rest and you’re the perfect person for the job. You’re curious and interested in others which makes you seem like the social butterfly we all want to tell our life story to. Idealistic, endearing, tolerant and logical - what’s not to love about an Aquarius Rising?

Pisces Rising: Your dreamy, far off gaze makes us wonder what you’re thinking and seeing around you. You so easily adapt to different people, it seems as if you can change your whole personality for each person you come across; a social chameleon. This, of course, means people can’t help but love you and they flock towards your open heart. Some of the most compassionate people we know, you’re always helping other people or animals. We know you’re living in your own little world and we wish you’d show us around; I’m sure it’s beautiful. Your ability to just let things go and move on is admirable to those of us who struggle with forgiveness. Empathetic, open, intuitive and generous - what’s not to love about a Pisces Rising?

Think of the signs in your birth chart as voices...

Your rising sign is the voice you speak with, the voice others will always recognize you by.

Your sun sign is the voice deep inside you, regulating you, repeating certain key phrases over and over.

Your moon sign is the voice you laugh with, the voice you tell secrets with, and the voice that tells you it’s time to cry.

Your mercury sign is the voice in your head, the one that reads for you when you’re alone, and shapes your ideas into sentences.

Your venus sign is the voice that warms you, the softer one you use around that special person.

Your mars sign is the voice that excites you, the one that gets too loud sometimes, and the one saying those things you wish you could take back.

Your jupiter sign is the voice that tells you to do better, be better, grow. The one that inspires you and humbles you.

Your saturn sign is the voice that tells you to just go do it. The one that tells you when to keep your head down and when to have fun.

Your uranus sign is the voice you speak with when adressing someone higher than you, and the voice that urges you to find your purpose, so that you may one day change the world with it.

Your neptune sign is the voice that sings you to sleep, the one you trust to tell you how your dreams went, and the one that whispers that there is so much more to the universe than we know.

Your pluto sign is the voice that only asks questions that cannot be answered. The one that, ultimately, decides what you believe.

Your midheaven is the voice you use at a job interview, and even online. It’s the voice illuminating your skills and knowledge.

Misunderstood Placements

Virgo Moons + Virgo Risings: The purest. The kindest. The most graceful beings. Maybe not so graceful physically but the vibes they give off just scream elegance and truth. They are so hard on themselves, too. They really do have this feeling that they aren’t good enough but they won’t admit to it often and they do not deserve to feel so low. I just love them. They are vintage souls in youthful bodies. 

Scorpio Venusians: Not everyone can handle their level of intensity and passion and that’s okay! But they do not mean to come on so strongly and the fear and rejection from others makes them believe that there is something wrong with them when there isn’t. They are loving, emotional, and sensual beings. They also have such a wonderful fashion sense. Air Suns (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): I will never understand how there is so much hate and so many misconceptions surrounding the air signs. Every sign has their flaws. It could be that their intellect could be intimidating for others or that their need for communication and social attention seems arrogant and superficial, but you have to keep in mind that these individuals adapt to any situation they are given. If they feel the need to act superior or manipulative, it’s their defense mechanism kicking in. They only act this way when they feel threatened. Capricorn Risings: They are often deemed as cold, unattractive, and unemotional. All of which is entirely false. Cancer lies in their 7th house, meaning that they are extremely emotional and sympathetic but have had such a tough upbringing, that they will try to keep their emotions from being expressed in public. They may lack the ability to provide animation and facial expressions or provide unusual expressions, but this does not mean they are cold-hearted. Perhaps, they feel too many emotions at once. The misconception that they are unattractive is absurd. Examples: Naomi Campbell, Carrie Fisher, Lenny Kravitz, Billie Joe Armstrong.

YOUR RISING SIGN - NICE TO MEET YOU!

Rising sign is not something that ‘kicks in after you have turned 30’ (believe it or not, I’ve heard this too many times to count) or something only other people can see and you are not aware of it. It is always present, it’s your skin that, unlike snakes, you can not shed. When you meet new people, it is the first thing they see. If you have planets conjuct your Rising, they also show immediately. Rising sign does not describe physical appearance only, that depends A LOT on your genetics. But there is certain mannerism of each Rising sign that is different from the other. We all have physical traits of our Rising sign, even if they aren’t too prominent because of some other influences (aspects to your rising, outer planets in the first house etc)

ARIES RISING: They are very ‘in your face’ and can come off as rude sometimes. They like things that revolve around them, in that respect they are much like children. Can seem (and really be) uninterested in topics that do not concern them directly and generally speaking most of the time they pay attention only if the topic of conversation is somehow about them. They can have prominent heads and/or foreheads and they are normally very honest and upfront.

TAURUS RISING: The neck, the voice! They tend to slow things down, can’t be rushed and speak in the same manner. They are generally seen as attractive, they enjoy comfort and like to be surrounded with useful things. They are very sensual and like to touch and smell things. All the Taurus Rising people I know personally have a great, melodic voice, even if they can’t sing (and almost all of those I know can)

GEMINI RISING: They talk with their hands and tend to look younger than their peers. Can be really loud and somehow people always notice them (they are 50% adorable, 50% annoying as fuck) Their talks have no filter, they’ll just say whatever off the top of their head or, alternatively, make people awkward with their silence if they need to think about something (you can literally hear Geminis think, it’s common for all the Gemini placements). They can talk with literally anyone and are generally popular with friends.

CANCER RISING: They can have ‘love handles’ or effortlessly flat/six-pack stomach. Their weight might fluctuate a lot throughout life and they tend to retain water and often feel ‘bloated’, even if they aren’t. Cancer Rising have watery eyes, no matter the size or colour. They are seen as soft and caring and people are generally surprised when they get to know them better and their other placements come to the surface! Not that they are not caring, it’s just that their softness is rarely a weakness, as it may be perceived.

LEO RISING: You must have heard it before, but Leo risings do have noticeable hair. Even if it isn’t thick and mane-like, it’s still something they pay attention to. They really care what people think of them, even if they hide it well. They can respond to criticism in a dramatic way, but they are generally lovable and warm, and small children are especially drawn to them. They can express themselves in quite a dramatic way and are born entertainers.

VIRGO RISING: They like correcting people, but are not mean, they just want you to improve and have the urge to teach you something. Although they are often very smart, they’ll put themselves down a lot. You may feel judged around them, the way they speak is clear and very much to the point. Their attention to details can be bothersome at times, because there is no thing, no matter how small, that they won’t like to analyze.

LIBRA RISING: Society darlings. They ooze charm and it’s unstoppable. They often have dimples when they smile and there is just something cool about them. Libra Rising is never ‘in your face’, but if they want to convince you to do something, they will and you won’t know what hit you. They’ll probably agree a lot with whoever they’re talking to, so they can be perceived as manipulative, although their priority is peace and harmony around them.

SCORPIO RISING: When they speak, it can sound dramatic, severe sometimes, definitely intimidating. They can be either hilariously funny or bitterly sarcastic, often both. You can feel their mood and they can really make you uncomfortable. It’s because they’ll rarely show immediately what’s inside them, no matter how hurt or even happy they are. They must always be in control and if their inner storm is brewing, it turns into a scary expression on their face.

SAGITTARIUS RISING: They can have strong legs and/or butt and talk loudly, with exaggeration. They might sound as if they’re bragging about the adventures in their life (whatever they consider to be adventurous). Silly and goofy, they are at the same time wise and philosophical. If you don’t have a sense of humor, which is something they have in abundance and appreciate in other people, they’ll be gone and won’t lie about that.

CAPRICORN RISING: The older they get, the more confident they are. Reliable and won’t waste your time so you might as well not waste theirs. Their  manner of speech is steady, they don’t like to ‘beautify’ things for the sake of conversation, but are surprisingly open when it comes to their personal struggles - as well as achievements. If you have something meaningful to say, they’ll definitely listen and don’t like to be bothered with the trivial.

AQUARIUS RISING: Their appearance is unique and they might want to point that out. Generally friendly and nice but you can feel the distance until you really get to know them better. Can have long legs and arms and egg-shaped skulls, or oval faces. Intelligent and free-spirited, they’ll try all the possible new and inventive approaches to any situation. Many Aquarius Risings I’ve met in my life had hands and feet that were always cold, although they rarely complained about being cold.

PISCES RISING: Because of their sensitivity, they can sometimes seem aggressive if they try to hide it. They are vulnerable and can’t hide it for a long time, if you ask them something personal and they start talking, their vulnerability will be revealed. They may seem shy and always have a light, dreamy smile on their lips. At times they can even seem completely non-present, because they tend to wander away in their thoughts.

Rising signs personalities

Aries rising / Aries ascendant

This is a very direct, quick to anger person. You might catch this person doing the most cursing at drivers on the way to work in rush hour traffic. Then once they arrive is cool as a fan and friendly with their coworkers.  Remember, Aries ascendants have Libra on their descendant. Their Venus rules their house of  interpersonal relationships. A Libra individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

The passion of this rising sign may throw folks off if their Sun sign and features reflect a Taurus, or Libra who have a softer, less intense, more amiable appearance and features.

Taurus rising / Taurus ascendant

This is a very calm and easy going rising sign. These people don’t come off as very intense or aggressive. They appear to have a slow boiling huffing and puffing anger, like a bull,  from a distance. Their descendant is Scorpio so, this easy going nature really has an intensity and passion when dealing with loved ones. A Scorpio individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

A square jaw and wide grin with shiny white teeth could mislead folks if this person is a double Leo or double Sagittarius for example. They don’t know that this tamed bull is really a wild animal behind the veneer.

Gemini rising / Gemini ascendant

This is one inquisitive rising sign. This is the person who while riding the bus or the subway is talking to the person sitting or standing next to them making small talk. They want to understand other people to build their own  understanding of themselves. Sagittarius is on their descendant, their relationships may appear to be odd to friends. Dating someone who appears to not be compatible. A Sagittarius individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

This can be a confusing ascendant for someone who is a double Pisces for instance. These mental exercises of human interaction can be exhausting and cause them to retreat into isolation. People who knew them as this chatterbox person has to learn to accept who this person is.

Cancer rising / Cancer ascendant

This is a cagey rising sign. Water signs are known as “mute” signs. This  rising sign might go about its business without saying a single word. But if you look at their expressive eyes you will be able to read into what they’re thinking. Capricorn on their descendant shows an interest in older partners, partners who are established. A Capricorn individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

This person may be the quietest and then loudest person you’ll ever know if they have masculine signs as their Sun and/or moon and they know you well.

Leo rising / Leo ascendant

This rising sign wants to be seen and heard. They want you to know how they’re doing even if you don’t really want to know and tell them that. Their confidence and ego is worn on their sleeve. With Aquarius on their descendant they are actually very concerned with making and maintaining friendships. An Aquarius individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

Once you get to know them, that confident nature might prove to be a show if their Sun and/or Moon are feminine signs.

Virgo rising / Virgo ascendant

This is the person who tries to do everything, it may look like they are frantically moving around in a rush doing 10 things at once. Fidgeting with their phone, their coffee, their cigarette. They see everything wrong with the way the diner they grab breakfast from was remodeled. Virgo rising has Pisces on the descendant, so their really is a sympathetic side they have for loved ones. A Pisces individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

If you can make it past the barrage of questions , critiques and occasional meltdowns , and become a friend or more they may be very calm and easy going.

Libra rising / Libra ascendant

Libra risings will have a smile  for everyone they come across moving to and from. This person is amiable and knows their manners and how to make others feel comfortable. They’re skilled at mirroring others so that even if you don’t really know them, it seems like you do. They’re actually pretty demanding in relationships with Aries on their descendant. An Aries individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

Their smile and soft features may be misleading if you find out they have more passionate, emotional signs like Scorpio or Cancer as luminaries.

Scorpio rising / Scorpio ascendant

This rising sign, like Cancer is quiet when facing unknown people. Scorpio’s defensive wall is very thick and everyone who isn’t in their sphere of trust will get a poker face. Their serious face that scrutinizes and observes is good at keeping people they don’t want to know, away. They have Taurus on the descendant so once you know them they are actually open and generous. A Taurus individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility .

This ascendant can really be confusing if you find out they are the most open and talkative person when their luminaries are in masculine signs.

Sagittarius rising / Sagittarius ascendant

Sagittarius risings are enthusiastic and expressive. These people will talk with their hands and like to laugh a lot when their guard is up. Hyperbole is a part of their personality, telling a grandiose story to the person they’re sitting next to on the bus. In relationships, with Gemini on their descendant they actually do have an attention to detail in their relationships. A Gemini individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

This expressive presentation might be very different from the more intimate version of them. With luminaries in earth signs you might find that they are actually very balanced and sober in their dealings.

Capricorn rising / Capricorn ascendant

About business. Even if you’re not in business, people see your straight face and calm demeanor and think you might be. You always appear to be headed somewhere purposefully. Capricorns have Cancer on their descendant and actually love their homes and spending time there with their loved one. A Cancer individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

The serious and rigid appearance melts away when they know you especially if they have lighthearted Sagittarius or Gemini planets as luminaries.

Aquarius rising / Aquarius ascendant

Aquarius rising looks at everyone and treats everyone as equals, and impersonally. Even still there is a lighthearted and friendly demeanor about them. Just don’t disagree with an opinion of theirs. They actually do love the attention from a significant other in a relationship having Leo on their descendant. A Leo individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

The lighthearted presentation might make way for a much more emotional personal life if they have water signs as luminaries.

Pisces rising / Pisces ascendant

This dreamy eyed and sensitive appearing person is rather quiet, drawing both sympathetic people but also predatory individuals. When Pisces risings move about they carry with them an aura of spirituality. They can convince people of many of things with an appealing emotional approach.  They are actually more critical and detail oriented than they appear in their relationships with Virgo on the descendant. A Virgo individual may help balance you in relationships very well provided chart and personality compatibility.

Pisces ascendants may appear sensitive but might actually be a roaring beast beyond the appearance especially if they have signs like Aries or Sagittarius as luminaries.

She was like a siren. She collected the affections of those around her, keeping them like toys, to be used once or twice when bored.

[astrolocherry]

it can be difficult to identify or accept our pluto nature. sometimes this energy can materialise as pure destruction, often reflecting the deep internal transformations that are taking place. but it’s not like you get told that this is happening. self-provoked events can seem morbidly fatalistic, like it was generated by some outward force or some other person. pluto acts on unconscious impulse, so it can produce behaviour in us that seems uncharacteristic, relentlessly self-destructive, or like being taken over by something. we follow the invisible currents of pluto like some sort of compulsion that doesn’t seem to belong to anything. pluto is the infinite part in us, so we are also carrying past lives and our spiritual evolutions so it can make the experience even more evasive. important to remember that you cannot regress with pluto. it takes a long time, pluto doesn’t move quickly. it’s hard for us to see this change because we see and know ourselves everyday, we can’t see the incremental transformations that have been taking place. but when you look back at your life and solitary self-reflection, you can see how the path aligned, and how you got to where you are today and how you wouldn’t change anything

[astrolocherry]

I know there is darkness within me. There is darkness inside you as well. You are more afraid of it than me, because i have needed my darkness to survive. It was my darkness that protected me when nobody else could.   it’s the part of me that has been damaged by this trauma. Even my darkness is cracked. you could say I’ve been irreparably destroyed but my spirit refuses to rest with dust, and through those cracks there is gold. And that darkness you are too scared to see. It will not become my identity, or my mask, or my masquerade   I will use it to see right through those faces, day after day. My darkness reminds me that I have lived and I have died, and I have gone to bed a thousand times dead and woken up alive

Scorpio’s letter to the Gods

mars is not alone with scorpio. mars is also there with pluto, and those daggers can feel like they are being thrown into sheer darkness. the fight is for larger-than personal causes, the battle is for the truth that is revealed to them from behind the veil, fighting death. these conflicts are taken partly under water where they cannot breathe, and partly on land where the smoke is too dark to see through, daggers are thrown from the invisible
