Rising Signs (Libra-Pisces)

Last episode we went through the 1st 6 rising signs. If you're looking for your rising sign and you don't see it here, go back an episode and I'm certain you'll find it. I'm assuming you know what the Ascendant signifies in astrology, so I won't be doing a recap of that in today's episode. If you need a refresher on what the rising sign indicates, then definitely go listen to the All About the Ascendant episode and then meet me back here. Today we're going to finish up the last 6 rising signs. I do recommend listening to all the rising signs for a more comprehensive view of the Zodiac. It helps to understand the ruling planets and the elements and the modalities. Plus, it helps you understand other people and what their motivations with their rising sign are like. It can help you understand yourself, yes, but it can also help you understand others. If you've been enjoying these episodes and want to support the podcast, consider becoming a patron of my work.

Libra, our first rising sign today is none other than the lovely Libra. And yes, this is my rising sign. This is the other Venus rolled rising. So we'll see. Slightly similar significations to a Taurus rising, but through the lens of cardinal air instead of fixed earth. Libra Risings are charming and poised. They're definitely optimists and they want to bring harmony or balance to any and every situation. This can lead to people pleasing behaviors or being overly polite when they should otherwise speak their mind a little more. But in all this is a very peaceful and put together sign for the ascendant to be under. These are the people at the party who are fluttering around and can be seen laughing with The Wallflowers one minute and then dancing with the party animals the next. They love to be social, or at least they do very well in social situations. I would say I'm one of those people where I might not love to be social all the time, but I'm very good at being social. I do have social graces, and this comes from the innate ability to pick up on social cues, to be polite, and generally the Libra desire to create a harmonious atmosphere for everyone around. Libra is the sign of balance, equality, justice, and it's represented by the scales. Just because this rising sign likes all those things doesn't always mean that it gets it. Libra risings are super sensitive to the world around them and they can overthink any little shift in energy. They're always aiming for the scales to be balanced, so when they send something is off, even the tiniest little little shift in the scale, they themselves can get thrown off balance. And that's something I am super guilty of. My scales are super, super sensitive and if I feel something has shifted or I feel like the energy is off or somebody'd vibe has shifted towards me, it's going to mess me up a little bit. I'm going to have to investigate that and rebalance those scales. People with bad attitudes or bleak outlooks, they do not jive with Libra risings. They need to be surrounded with positive people or they'll end up depressed and anxious. And it doesn't take much to tip those scales, like I said. So learning to protect your energy and finding people, places and experiences that help you stay balanced and feel balanced is really important. And that can be tricky as well because you don't want to surround yourself with people that just tell you what you want to hear all the time because that. So that's like the balancing act, right? Another balancing act for Libra is finding people who tell you the truth, but not in an overly harsh or critical or intense way. Crass, vulgar and rude things will typically upset Libra risings. They prefer beauty, love and classy or charming things. And again, huge culprit of this one. As fiery and wild as I am, being a Libra rising makes me absolutely cringe at crass or vulgar things. I cannot stand crude humor, things like violence and war, or things that I'm super sensitive to, so I tend to avoid watching the news a lot. This can be a more prude rising sign. It's a very kind of clutching its pearls at all times rising sign. As charming as this rising can be, it's still an air sign. It can be super aloof, lost in its head and standoffish. Libra risings are social on their terms. It's like they kind of exist, walk, live, breathe on a different plane of existence and they rarely come down from it to understand what other people are doing. They think that everybody just lives on the same plane of existence as them and this can make them seem snobby or like airheads. Where the Venus influence with Taurus is earthy and chill, the Venus influence on Libra it can come off more prissy or unattainable and this is a rising that craves partnership and needs partnership to understand self. They do not like to be single and they typically find the most success in life when they have a partner. Marriage is usually the goal and they love it so much that they tend to end up doing it more than once if they have to. Partnership is where Libra Risings find a lot of their luck in this lifetime, as it tends to bring stability and wealth for them. And that doesn't mean that their partner is going to be rich automatically. That's not an automatic assumption, but it does mean that they just do better in relationships. So then automatically health, wealth and all these other things seem to accumulate easier for them. The last thing I want to mention before the buzzwords is the infamous Libra indecision. These people can be super creative, smart and fun, but they have a really hard time making decisions if there isn't a strong driving force somewhere else in the chart. This can make them come off as lazy or like they dilly dally around but they're just scared to make the wrong choice and that it might throw off their balance or that they might upset someone else in the process. Again, this is a people pleasing rising sign and they don't want to make waves. The main characteristics and buzzwords for a Libra rising are charming, graceful, pleasant and polite, harmonious, balanced, indecisive and sensitive. Relationship oriented. This rising is known for their beauty. Even if they aren't conventionally attractive, they're considered to be aesthetically pleasing in some way. They have symmetrical bone structure, a striking face, and a graceful or slightly coy or flirtatious smile. This is a very flirtatious rising sign. They have a very Venusian aura that's going to charm you and draw you in. The body type is typically slender and usually has some height to it. Even if there is weight gain, which is pretty typical for them as they age, the weight is well proportioned and ends up kind of giving them curves in all the right places. As far as soul motivations go, Venus bestows many, many gifts to the Libra rising people. They seem to literally float through life at times. Again, they're on this different plane of existence than other people in their own head. But there lies their problem. Libra Risings need to learn to take control of their life. They're often so stuck looking for validity and others that they become reliant on those relationships. These people need to find balance in relationships. They can become consumed by the people they love. They will find their sole purpose when they find their own identity outside of their partner, family, friends. My Libra Risings, your sole purpose will likely also have to do with something that brings peace and balance to the world. And my experience with this has been Moon matters. I have been able to fully create this. I have been able to immerse myself in this to create something that's outside of my partner. Yes, my partner is still a big part of this. It's still a very important piece, but this is the thing that I've created. It's sort of my outlet sharing all of this with you, creating connections and relationships with you guys. It's been so fulfilling. So thank you for allowing me to do that, Scorpio. This is probably one of the more intense rising signs. A Scorpio rising does nothing halfway. They are intense people without even trying. Just a look on their face while they're going throughout their day screams back off I'm busy. It's a vibe not many people step to or try to engage with. Having such an intense outward appearance can make them feel like a bit of a loner or an outcast, which it is sort of their own doing because they can turn this off. They don't have to always look this way or emit that kind of energy, but most of the time they choose to present in a more intimidating and mysterious way. Scorpio risings are really persuasive and clever. They use all the resources available to them to get what they want or need, and since they're super perceptive, that means they have a lot of information at their disposal. They have all the receipts at all times. While these people can come off as cool and uncaring, they actually care quite a bit. There's a lot going on beneath the surface. They have a deep, rich inner world that not many people have the privilege of knowing about or seeing. Which brings me to the point of them being secretive. Surprise, a Scorpio placement is secretive. We're all shocked. These people hold their cards close to their chest and they don't want people to know their business. If you find out something about them, it's because they let it happen. Like, don't be fooled. If you know something about a Scorpio rising, they planted that information for you to find. They allowed you to know about it because if they didn't, you'll see them squirm. They'll be like, Oh no, how did that secret get out-of-the-box without me knowing about it? They have a way of guiding conversations. So you end up spilling all your secrets and then they actually haven't told you anything. But yet it doesn't seem that way somehow. And it's because they're charming and good mannered outwardly, but really those are just tools that they're using to gather and store information on you. They also try to control the narrative because if they can keep you talking about yourself and they don't have to reveal anything about themselves, and it's not that they don't want to know about you, they do. They genuinely are interested, but they're interested because they need to size up who they're dealing with. They need to know, can I trust you? On what level can I trust you? Who are you going to be to me in this world? People often say that Scorpio risings have a psychic ability, and this might be true in some cases. But for a lot of people, it simply boils down to observation skills. These people pay attention when no one else thinks they're watching. So while they may or may not actually be psychic, their powerful observation skills make them seem like they are. Scorpio Risings like to be detectives. They love to learn how something works and to learn about the fine details of it. This is a typical Scorpio trait. They don't want to know everything because they're a perfectionist. They want to know everything because they're a detective and they're nosy. Again, this is the friend that has all the receipts. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention their temper. This is the other Mars ruled rising. So just like Aries, these guys do have a temper, but unlike Aries, it's more internal than external. Where an Aries rising explodes, Scorpio rising implodes. They can become ruthlessly obsessed with revenge and are not above stooping to petty antics. If they feel wronged, they're taking you down, even if they have to go down as well. This emotion and obsession can be super productive if it's pointed towards career or life ambitions. If a Scorpio rising can become obsessed with something like their personal growth or goals or something healthy, then absolutely nothing will stop them from achieving their dreams and desires. They have a lot of depth and they have a lot of emotion, so don't be fooled by their outwardly cold exterior. Find what they care about, ask them about it, and it'll surprise you how passionate they are. The main characteristics and buzzwords for a Scorpio rising are intense and forceful, magnetic, seething, determined, mysterious, curious, and obsessive, emotionally driven. Physically, this rising tends to have sharp features and very hypnotic eyes. Piercings or bright hair is likely as well, or even just how they adorn themselves. Anything that makes them seem more scary or intense is welcome to their presentation. The hair tends to be naturally thick and on the darker side, slightly fuller figures. The physical appearance is mostly about them coming off as mysterious or intense. No matter how they present themselves or what their body looks like, there's always going to be these intense eyes that look like they hold secrets, depths, and maybe even a little bit of pain. There's also just an aura of intrigue around them, and that's why people find them so magnetic. Understanding the underbelly of life is a huge part of this rising's life purpose. Embracing intensity and exploring the darker parts of yourself is how you truly understand depth in this lifetime. This is Scorpio we're talking about, so the life death rebirth cycle is likely going to be a key component of how this rising sign moves through the world. They're going to go through many iterations of self, many iterations of presentation in this lifetime. There is so much raw power and emotion behind a Scorpio rising that having an outlet for it is going to be important. A spiritual practice or getting into a cult studies can seem almost destined for these people a lot of the time. Being the natural detective of the Zodiac and having a connection to the underworld, so to speak, means you can go easily between conscious and unconscious spaces. Hone that part of yourself in whatever way feels right for you. But know that power dynamics, life and death, rebirth, all of that is a big part of your sole purpose. So learning to let go, learning that you don't have control over every single thing in this lifetime, that's going to be a big lesson for you guys. Sagittarius. Like any good Sagittarius placement, these people are adventure seekers. They do not like to be bogged down by deadlines, strict work schedules, or other people's expectations or even societal expectations. Not being able to move, expand, and change freely will completely snuff out the fire that these people carry and cause them to act recklessly or out of character. The love of freedom is strong with this placement. You want to be free and you want others to be free as well. You try not to impose your way of life on others because you would never want someone else to do that to you. Occasionally though, you can be dogmatic when you feel really strongly about something. Typically the dogma with this placement comes out when your personal freedom is attacked or threatened. When you have a belief that is really, really important to you and someone is pushing back on it really hard, That's when I see this placement begin to get a little more dogmatic. Much like Libra Risings, a Sagittarius rising cannot stand to see injustice in the world. These people tend to be humanitarians, and they want freedom for all humans to just be who they are. But instead of shying away from conflict and injustice like Libra, you guys tend to run towards it and you try to make real change. Being misunderstood, misjudge, or mislabeled is definitely going to hurt your feelings. Having someone see you as something you're not doesn't sit right with you. You do not like to be perceived as something you are not because for you it's all about the truth of the matter and letting people know who you really are. If you can't be yourself, you're liable to act out in some form or fashion. Sagittarius risings are super cheery people and they make friends easily. You're open to new ideas and new people. You love traveling, exchanging opinions, so the more people you meet, the more you can learn. People also always know where they stand with you, which I think is a trait that I think most people would appreciate. I know I appreciate that, but I have a lot of Sagittarius in my chart so maybe I'm biased, but people do know where they stand with you. You will definitely let someone know what you think or feel, but sometimes the delivery can be a little blunt. Things get lost in translation. Tact is not a skill that graces Sagittarius, so sometimes these risings can move through the world in a more gruff or tactless way. Foot and mouth disease can be really real. You know it's harmless, but it's lacking tact. Taking in information and keeping up to date with the world is important to a Sagittarius rising. Being in the know and also learning and expanding your own interests is important for you because your worldview is always evolving, especially when it comes to politics, religion, spirituality, your higher consciousness. All of that is always evolving for you guys. Life is one big adventure, so you prefer to keep things kind of light and simple in some ways, but then you get super philosophical in others. If you have too many obligations or responsibilities, it's going to weigh on you, and it may even cause you to want to run away from the life that you've created. Marriage is a big topic for these people. Again, they're charming, smart, well read, and traveled. Who wouldn't want to be with them? But they often get caught in bad marriages or have a tendency to marry the wrong person at least one time in their lives. Being stuck in these relationships is excruciating for a Sagittarius rising. They need to release themselves from these situations or their spirit is going to, you know, slowly dwindle, slowly die. Freedom and the pursuit of truth is honestly their one true love. The main characteristics in buzzwords for a Sagittarius rising are independent, free spirited, freedom loving, optimistic, adventurous, dogmatic and tactless, philosophically or spiritually inclined. Basically these people are pleasant and cheerful looking. There's just something so jovial about them. They tend to have large, broad foreheads with bright eyes. The face is Oval or a little longer at times. The smile and teeth are significant. The teeth can be large, the smile is infectious and the laugh is extremely distinct. Being the sign of the Centaur means these people walk tall or tend to be very leggy. Sagittarius rules the hips and legs, so legs will be highlighted in some way. People find them attractive because of their optimism and just their fun, upbeat attitude. It really tends to radiate from them and also they're entertaining, they're fun. Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so the sole purpose of a Sagittarius rising can feel lofty to say the least. Expansion, wisdom, and abundance tend to be big parts of what these people are after. Being an eternal student of life and never losing sight of life, being an ongoing adventure is the fuel that a Sagittarius rising runs off of. At some point, these people need to turn their pursuit for knowledge outward and begin teaching others. This is when they'll most likely feel a sense of fulfillment, when they can pass their wisdom on to other people. Because what's studying and learning and exploring and expanding worth. If you can't share it now, This can be through kids and family or through teaching and mentoring others in a craft. To all my Sagittarius rising people, never lose sight of your inner truth and hold on to your freedom to express it. It's literally how you move through the world. Capricorn. This is our first rising sign that's ruled by Saturn. Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, which means it's the forceful material world creator of the Zodiac. So let's get the money stuff out of the way. Everyone dislikes the whole Capricorn's love of money trope, but one, it's true and two, it's more than just money. Capricorn risings are goal oriented and driven by their ambitions. Most of these ambitions happen to pertain to the material world and feeling secure or powerful. How do you feel powerful or secure within this material world that we're living in? Money. So yes, this is a money motivated rising sign, but it's not just because of capitalistic aspirations. It's about feeling secure and powerful. What these people want to happen will happen. They have ambition that rivals Scorpio and can dig their heels in relentlessly when focused on achieving something. Luck is typically not on their side and that's why I say if they want it to happen, it will. And it's because they make it happen. The goals of this rising sign tend to be more altruistic in nature. Yes, you want power and security, but you also want the best for everyone around you. Your life needs to have meaning, and you often find it in making the world around you a better place. The catch with this placement is that while you're determined to reach your goals, even when you reach them, you still don't feel satisfied. There's a sense that something or someone is always missing in your life, and this causes a relentless search for happiness that can morph into unhealthy obsessions with work or setting ambitious, unachievable goals. Capricorn Risings are active and intelligent and size up a situation almost immediately. They see the flaws and plans and people almost instantly. This can make them come off as critical or calculating, but again, they just want to make everything around them as perfect as possible. They can project their standards onto other people, which can be disappointing for both them and the other person. They will definitely get hung up on details, as any good Earth sign does. Knowing all the details is one way they can control the situation. Micromanaging is their favorite pastime and they are no stranger to the words control freak. With Saturn as the ruling planet, there's again no room for luck. So I can't say that I blame you guys for being this way. Because you have to succeed. You have. You are the only one making yourself succeed. Everything has to work out and it's really all on you, so you have to work diligently for what you have, and other people are potential outliers or weaknesses or just things that can go wrong in your plan. Feelings are not an easy topic for this rising sign. They are deeply loyal and protective, but the way these things get expressed is where issues can come up. You don't want to share your emotions or your feelings, and you might not even be connected to them yourself. And you don't want to lose anything either. Again, sense of control. So you can be prone to jealousy or resentment towards others. You can be prone to controlling behaviors. You try to hide it. Sometimes it slips out though. Another big thing, this rising will never forgive someone who hurts them. They are not the forgive and forget type. You do let people in, but it takes a long time to commit and fully embrace others as someone you wholly trust. Unlike Libra and Leo who tend to be the luckier ones in the in the rising department, you'll find success on your own and through your own efforts in marriage. You will not likely benefit monetarily, but rather emotionally. Your partner's probably going to be the one that benefits monetarily from you. The main characteristics in buzzwords for a Capricorn rising are cautious and distant, Mature, driven, risk assessment, goal oriented, dazzling smile, loyal and protective. Physically, these people have well shaped heads and faces. The face is typically more round but not overly round. Again, just a really nice shaped head. Now the biggest thing is the smile. This is a Capricorn rising star feature in my opinion. I love to rave about a Capricorn rising smile. You guys tend to have a really luminous smile with really nice teeth. It's literally like $1,000,000 smile. The eyes are penetrating and they express a hard working nature. They can give a great death stare and you probably likely have resting bitch face. The body tends to be shorter in stature and on the thinner side. Saturn bestows a very distinct look. Sometimes these people are sickly as children or they carry some sort of chronic pain with them throughout life. Capricorn is the born workaholic of the Zodiac. While Sagittarius is off being a philosopher and Libra's finding in her balance and Scorpio is going through a life, death, rebirth situation, Capricorn is left to be everyone's dad. In fact, Saturn is kind of everyone's dad. As Kronos, the Roman God associated with Saturn, he is the God of fate and time. He is typically pictured as an all-encompassing, life devouring force. So what does this have to do with your sole purpose, my Capricorn Risings? Well, it means that your patience and determination will be rewarded in the end. But in the immediate, it truly is your purpose to take care of everyone around you, to be responsible, to be diligent. You are the one that is going to build a stable world for us all to live in. And while that sounds like a crazy big task, it's because it is. But if any of the 12 signs are built to handle it, it's you, Capricorn Aquarius. This is the other Saturn ruled rising sign. And while both Capricorn Aquarius are ruled by Saturn, they manifest in vastly different ways. Aquarius rising people want one thing and one thing only, World Peace. You know that, Miss America, like I want World Peace. That's kind of an Aquarius thing. They just want to live in a world where everyone lives a harmonious life with no conflict or strife. They have a utopia in their head and each Aquarius rising utopia is different. The ideals they have are all different and unique to themselves, but they definitely have one. They see the best in humanity and they see the worst. They see the things that they want to do better on. Progression of humanity is their ultimate goal. This is a very we versus me rising sign. They think in terms of we, not me. While they can come off as fair minded and tolerant, they have super strict and unwavering beliefs. This is fixed air. So we're dealing with fixed thought. If you do not share their vision of that utopia that I mentioned, then forget talking about politics or religion with them. They don't want to hear it and they don't have time for what they deem as backwards ideologies or close minded individuals. These people are forward modern thinkers, often thought of as too progressive for their time. While they're progressive, they are extremely set in those ways. And, and I do want to say that an Aquarius rising that was born 50 years ago isn't going to feel as progressive as an Aquarius rising born 10 years ago. Those things change rapidly. So if you're like, yeah, my dad's an Aquarius rising or my aunt's an Aquarius rising, and they're pretty backwards. Maybe for their time they weren't. They might have been the modern thinkers of their day, but today, now they seem outdated. So while an Aquarius rising, while they aren't tolerant of people who disagree with them, they do cover up those feelings with sarcasm and wit. They have a way with humor and using it to deflect their true feelings and as a way to deflect conflict at times. And this goes for all categories, not just political and societal outlooks. They do this with their feelings a lot where they deflect and they use super dry humor to cover up their true intentions or even their romantic feelings about someone. This rising is full of contradictions. They are content to be by themselves, but they also really enjoy the company of friends. Traveling is nice, but so is relaxing at home with your favorite Reddit page or news outlet. While you guys usually come off as aloof, you somehow make friends really easily and you're well liked among your peers. Your mind works in a scientific way as well as an artistic way. Notice I did not say emotional, I said artistic and scientific. You embody duality and can use it to your advantage to suit the situation, but emotions are just not your strong suit. You are not emotionless. I want to break that stigma. You are not emotionless, but you aren't exactly driven by emotion either. It's not the fuel that you run on unless we're talking about humanity at large or the 'cause you care about or the community that you're invested in. That's where you become emotionally motivated. As one of the air rising signs, you are always up for something that can be mentally stimulating or teach you something. You like to learn and have a curious disposition. Boredom hits you hard and fast, so it's not unusual for you to be out adventuring and having fun and then all of a sudden you find yourself completely over it. When it comes to partners, marriage and long term commitments actually suit you pretty well, as long as you find someone who understands your vision for the world around you, has similar interests, and understands that you waffle between aloof and affectionate. The main characteristics in buzzwords for an Aquarius rising are friendly yet aloof, quick witted, honest, idealistic, quirky and expressive, eccentric. Contradicting tendencies. Physically, these people have good or prominent bone structure in the face. Many of these people end up being taller than average with somewhat olive skin tone or at least able to tan. The eyes really connect with you when they talk. If these people are actively engaged in a conversation with you, they tend to make like really overly intense eye contact. Overall, they're attractive, with a friendly and inviting disposition that sort of betrays their emotional aloofness. The sole purpose for an Aquarius rising is pretty straightforward. While Capricorn is building the material world, you're going to be busy building society. A big part of what drives you is being involved with societal structures and taking up the mantle of the causes that you care about. You will fully realize your purpose when you involve yourself in local politics, clubs, organizations, humanitarian efforts, or any outlet that if you're able to take your vision and make it a reality. Making the world a better, more peaceful place is definitely part of your calling. Pisces. Like all Pisces placements, there's a hint of living in a fantasy world with this rising sign. Pair this with an inclination towards a romanticized outlook and you got yourself someone living in their own dreamland. Pisces is mutable water and the water sign that arguably suffers from their emotions the worst, which, I'm sorry, Cancer in Scorpio. I really do think it's Pisces. Deep down, these risings believe that they're somewhat destined to suffer in this lifetime because reality as a whole can feel like suffering, no matter how good it is for them. They can feel like they were born at the wrong time, they're from another era, or like they've had multiple lives before this current one. There's a big connection to the past, which brings me to one of their biggest significations, nostalgia. Pisces risings can be overly nostalgic to the point of their own detriment. They're extremely sentimental and they will never forget someone or something, especially if they've had a profound impact on them. This means things like sad stories, violence, and unhappy people or situations. They're going to impact you guys a lot more than other people. The harsh realities of living on planet Earth make it hard for a Pisces rising to move through the world in a wide open and just an accepting way like they would prefer to. It makes it really hard for them because the vehicle of the soul for them is a bleeding heart. Jupiter being the ruler of this rising means that overindulgence can be used as a means of coping with heavy feelings. This can be overindulgence in food, shopping, drugs, sex, alcohol, toxic relationships and people, you name it. A Pisces rising will turn it into a means of coping and a detrimental cycle. This rising is happiest when it's surrounded by those people that they most care for. You are an extremely social creature and you would be quite sad and lonely if you were left to your own devices. Being with other people helps take your mind off of perpetually feeling like you don't fit in or like the world is too harsh for you to exist in. It's not all doom and gloom though. I know I've been going in on that. It's not all doom and gloom. You are extremely artistic, loving, sensitive, and intuitive. You try to bring a sense of warmth and emotional intelligence with you wherever you go. But again, that openness makes you kind of a target for the harshness of the world because you don't have many defenses. You're just sucking up all the harshness and the the intensity of the world and you're taking it in and you're feeling it. So yeah, you're open and you're warm and you're intuitive and loving, but you don't really have any defenses for the intense, harsh world. Work and home life are two separate spaces for this placement. Work is where you show off your knowledgeable and creative side. Home is where you release your messy, emotional side. Since you like being with people, you're really good at working in groups. You probably won't want to be in charge all the time because that's a lot of pressure, but you would do well-being a member of a team overall. Let someone else handle the logistics. You're there to brainstorm, be social, be with people, and just bring ideas to the table. Jupiter's influence bestows travel and expansion, just like with Sagittarius. The main thing Jupiter brings to this rising, though, is a deep need for a spiritual modality. Being immersed in whatever religion or spiritual outlook you may have will bring a sense of comfort to the otherwise harsh material earthly landscape that you just happened to live in. The main characteristics and buzzwords for a Pisces rising are artistic, expressive and magical, romantic, naive, escapism and illusions, emotionally driven, spiritual, and kind. The main physical characteristic about a Pisces rising is sensuality. These people ooze sexuality and sensuality in a way that's not exactly quiet. If any of the rising signs were going to be a mythical creature, it would be Pisces. They're legit mermaids. They most likely have WAVY hair and well proportioned feet. Pisces rules. The feet. Don't come at me for this, it just is what it is. There's going to be something about their feet. Maybe they wear toe rings, maybe they always have pedicures, done something with the feet, maybe they're into shoes, things like that. Their eyes are going to be like windows into their deep emotional world. They don't hide their emotions like other signs. Like I said, they're this bleeding heart open book. They wear their emotions freely because emotions are how they intuit and literally move through the world. Dreams, emotions, magic, sensuality, all of that is core to how these people embody their physical body. Generally, they're not very large people, but they do have a large aura or spirit. With Jupiter as their ruler, Pisces is here to spread some sort of message. Just like Sagittarius. The Pisces sole purpose is about bringing compassion into the world. It's about living in the space between reality and illusion. They walk the liminal line of reality. Capricorn built the city, Aquarius built the society, and now Pisces is bringing compassion and empathy to the people. Your purpose is to bring your deep knowledge of the human experience to those around you, even if it is painful or hard to endure while it's unfolding. That's it, We've done it. We've gone through all of the rising signs. As always, please take your personal mitigating factors into consideration when listening to these mitigating factors. Like deckins, aspects, and chart rollers. They play a huge role in how a placement will manifest over all. In general though, these are how the rising signs manifest under each of the 12 Zodiac signs. I hope this has been a helpful exploration and that you continue to build on this foundation by working with your chart and taking note of how these things come to light and working with other people's charts talking with them about it. You can also get a chart reading with me if you're wanting to take a super deep dive. Thank you for coming to class. I'll see you next time.
