How to guess someone's rising?
Honestly, it’s hard guessing someone’s specific placements. There are times it’s really obvious and times where there’s just too much going on in their chart and it sends out mixed signals.
So instead here’s a cheat sheet for guessing what overall energies someone might have.
Aries: Sharp or intense eyebrows, smaller heads (sometimes), childish smiles, rough or masculine vibe, sporty or adventurous, bold and fiery, likes cars or the color red, the women sometimes dress like a Bratz doll - they aren’t afraid to show skin and can pull off some really intimidating looks. The aura they give off is endearing in a naive way (they’re easily excitable) or violent. Animal eyes/magnetism. Something about them is primal and sexually charged.
Taurus: Sweet smiles, elegant or thick necks, stubby or shorter in height when there’s a lot of it in the chart, thick or curvy, something about them is sensual and soft - like it’d feel amazing to touch or hold them. They’re very clearly artistic/musical or feel connected to nature in some way. More dysfunctional Tauruses can give off a very bored/stubborn or unapproachable vibe.
Gemini: Mischievous eyes, they twinkle like they know something you don’t. They look like they know how to laugh and like to giggle. Clearly intelligent, often very talkative but not always. More likely to have multiple tattoos and piercings or multiple hair colors. They may dress radically different from day to day or have multiple aesthetics clashing in their appearance/home. Nervous energy, easily distractible, easily bored. Flighty, manic energy or confused/unstable energy. The more Gemini there is the more their eyes can look like a kaleidoscope.
Cancer: Very pale skin if they’re white (this is the biggest indicator). Big Mom energy, something about them is so gentle and nurturing. On the other hand, they can have big Baby energy, maybe they appear younger than they are or try to - they can have the look of a wounded child in their eyes. Tend to have rounder faces and probably at least one picture of them with their pet (who they treat like their baby) on social media. Very nostalgic or sentimental at times - they’re drawn to older time periods, especially anything that reminds them of their childhood. Loves Disney or similar cutesy things.
Leo: Feline eyes and gorgeous, thick hair. Also loves to show off skin and dress like a Bratz doll (emphasis on brat - they really pull off that aesthetic/vibe). Drawn to the color gold or yellow. The Best smile, it’s bright and infectious and looks natural. Older men and women with Leo may wear a few tacky things in an attempt to feel younger, especially Venus in Leo. They can seem like they have an inner light to them that just radiates warmth/a star quality. The men come off as extremely cocky and pompous - it shows in the way they carry themselves.
Virgo: Glasses are the #1 indicator (I think taking in so many details unconsciously makes them squint and strain their eyes). Soft, humble or shy/submissive vibe. Can be dainty and occasionally very petite. They can appear genuinely innocent, almost doe-like. There can be vague sadness or an altruism in their eyes - they want to be helpful. Alternatively they have very sharp, critical eyes. Usually well-dressed, if not fashionable they still present themselves in a very clean-cut/competent way or in a more natural way. Big hippy energy, they love holistic healing or medicinal practices. Can appear androgynous (but lean more towards feminine features).
Libra: An aesthetic is immediately apparent and often draws inspiration from high fashion. Noticable acne - huge indicator (not sure why but this is definitely a thing; hormonal imbalance maybe?) Symmetrical or noticably asymmetrical faces. Unbalanced Libras have unstable eyes (you see this clearly in some of their pictures). Can be very elegant, sophisticated and graceful in appearance or demeanor. An interest in old Hollywood actresses or the Rococo period. Very very girly when they’re feminine, though quite a few Libras are androgynous or bigender.
Scorpio: Intense, piercing eyes that look like they’ve been through a lot. A very “tortured” look occasionally. When they have bad intentions it shows very clearly in their eyes - they become predatory/chilling. They often have a sexually charged, smoldering look (bedroom eyes). Very reserved, they can have a quiet confidence/knowing to them. Asks the deep questions and mostly keeps their private life to themselves.
Sagittarius: LOUD and opinionated. Very laid back, natural and comfortable in their own skin. Loves to laugh (usually at other people’s expense). They gently bully and tease their friends and family. Can be noticably spiritual or religious. Can lean towards a tropical/bohemian aesthetic or make it clear they like to travel (there’s probably pictures on their social media). Are genuinely hilarious and say outrageous things. Go for odd romantic partners or people very different from them. Usually tall, might have a longer face. The men can be extremely good looking, very chiseled (but it’s probably a Sag/Capricorn combination). The women are effortlessly hot - it’s mostly their attitude/demeanor. A lot of them that aren’t white can be racially ambiguous - they look like they could fit in almost anywhere or are regularly mistaken as another ethnicity. They have a philosophical or political side to them and probably love satire.
Capricorn: Amazing bone structure. Tired eyes. Appear awkward in their bodies, like they don’t know how to relax or loosen up. Mature or authoritative vibe, they easily command respect and people may try to impress them. Talks about work, is always busy/unavailable and embodies their career aspirations through their clothing - the men especially like to do this; if they want to be a CEO you’ll know, if they want to be a musician you’ll know exactly what genre. Can appear very stressed or have a depressing aura. They have very mature interests, something about them may be old fashioned - quite a few of them actually do like history or aesthetics from another decade. The women often try to embody what’s considered conventionally attractive but might wear more neutral or natural colors. They especially look good in black and brown. The men can sometimes have a boy next door traditional type look - very clean cut.
Aquarius: Usually the easiest to identify, they stand out as strange or awkward immediately. Can appear anachronistic or quirky in appearance - the men especially love having a strange aesthetic accompanied sometimes by equally strange facial hair. Can be a bit avant-garde or have alternative interests. Being poly or heavily into kink culture is a big indicator. Very rebellious or likes to play the Maverick. Usually political or into some type of activism. Comes off as very airy or detached but highly intelligent and has at least one odd interest/hobby. They regularly break the rules or display antisocial behavior. Sometimes they have reptilian eyes, they’re icy/piercing and if they’re blue they’re freakishly light blue, like neon (I’ve seen this quite a few times but I wouldn’t call it common).
Pisces: Very spacey, illusive energy. It’s really hard to see them clearly at all (I’ve gotten to the point where I can look at people and guess their energies and any time I look at someone and I can’t pin them down in the slightest I know they have Pisces). Can appear very sleepy or sedated. It’s very obvious when they’re drug friendly. They either appear very artsy and spiritual or they try to embody a fantasy through their appearance. They like makeup more than most signs and are really creative with it - they come up with some otherworldly/ethereal looks. They can be confusing and vague, especially with their words. They’re drawn to music and art and can be effortlessly poetic. More likely to be sexually fluid or gay. Beautiful eyes, sometimes it looks like they have a permanent filter over them they’re that gorgeous and unique (Elizabeth Taylor was a Pisces).
There’s definitely more but that’s all that comes to mind right now.
