Some people feel their astrological sign doesn't really fit their personality. When this happens, an astrologer will typically figure out their rising sign, or ascendent. This is usually very difficult because it is necessary to find the time and place of birth. Luckily, I have found a handy online calculator for rising signs (don't worry, that is not my birthday on there, it's a default):

http://www.horoscopeswithin.com/calculate.php :appl: :appl: Fun, fun!

Some people are so dominated by their rising sign that the traits of their sun sign are completely overshadowed. Some people only have small amounts of their rising sign affecting them.

:?: :?: What's your rising sign and sun sign, and how do they fit together? :?: :?:

Here are a quick outline of traits from the last horoscope thread:

AQUARIUS) Vision, intellect and humanity. They are determined to make the world a better place and to help everyone they can along the way. They are truly the trailblazers of the zodiac.

ARIES) Initiative, courage and determination. These folks love to get things going and are fearless along the way. Their dynamism and competitive spirit add considerably to any of their endeavors.

TAURUS) Stability, loyalty and dogged determination. Blank- want to get the job done, and they will. What better way to get the riches they so fervently crave?

GEMINI) Ability to communicate effectively and to think clearly. Adventures of the mind are what the Blank- are all about. They also love to share themselves with their friends, and they make for charming companions.

CANCER) Tenacity with which they protect their loved ones. These folks don't ask for much, either: a comfortable home and sense of peace about sums it up. It's that nurturing instinct which makes Blank- a pleasure to be with.

LEO) Creativity, idealism and leadership. Blank- don't lack for ambition, either, so they're likely to accomplish a lot -- and have fun while they're at it. Their warmth and loyalty ensures that others will enjoy the ride as well.

VIRGO) Practicality, sharp mind and attention to detail. When merged with their willingness to serve, Blank-become essential helpmates. They can be picky -- so what?

LIBRA) Quest for fairness, peace and harmony. That the Blank- are the great diplomats of the zodiac further helps their case. A beautiful journey this will be, thanks to the Blank-'s inimitable sense of style.

SCORPIO) Determination, passion and motivation. Blank- don't know the word quit, which is why they usually get the job done. A powerhouse? Like no other.

SAGIT) Philosophical, wide-open and curious nature. These folks seek both knowledge and truth, and they are eager to share their explorations with others. Their optimistic and generous spirit makes them a pleasure to have around.

CAPRICORN) Their willingness to work hard and their determination to succeed. Their ambition is boundless, yet they are cautious, responsible and always play fair. That's why their successes are all the more sweet.

PISCES) Compassionate and charitable nature. These folks love to help others and do so in the most imaginative of ways. It's their feeling sensibility that wins people over.

No, not really. I'm Sag with Leo rising, but I'm Sag to the bone.

Oh, and make of it what you will: my sun and moon are in opposition. Head and heart at war. ;-) I think that's euphemistically called "a difficult aspect".
 
I'm a Pisces with Virgo rising. I'm pretty much the exact opposite of a Pisces. Virgo fits me in some respects, but certainly not in everything - I'm not a perfectionist. I wouldn't say it's a perfect descriptor of my personality, but certainly closer than Pisces. I think it's all coincidence though.
 
My actual sign fits me just fine. My rising is Taurus and it does not fit me at all.
 
my rising sign fits me like a glove. this is pretty cool, i've never heard of it!
 
My rising sign is Capricorn and I was described as cold, among other things. That seemed harsh, so no, I don't agree with it. :bigsmile:

ETA: I am cautious though but I know that also fits other signs as well. I'm a Scorpio, by the way.
 
I'm not sure what time I was born, so I just put 00's and it gave me Leo. I wasn't sure about it until I came to the bottom and it said all the "bad" characteristics..then I laughed and thought yeah, that's kinda me. I'll ask mom what time I was born tho.
 
I'm interested to find out about my rising sign, can't do it from my current location. But I am a Taurus to the absolute core.
 
Not really.

My sun sign is Libra. I am naturally diplomatic, so that fits.
My rising sign is Taurus. I do not crave riches.
 
pisces with gemini rising......

isn't enough that my pisces sign swims in double....no, i have to have gemini the TWINS to add to the confusion.

MoZo
 
Im an aquarius and it suits me, unfortunately I don't know what time I was born so I tried just guestimating, and everytime I guessed, I get a different rising sign.. :(sad
 
Libra with Sag rising. That's the sign I thought fit me best on the first thread!

With this Ascendant, you come across as charismatic, fiery, energetic, likeable, benevolent, tidy, jovial, optimistic, extraverted, amusing, straightforward, demonstrative, charming, independent, adventurous, straightforward, bold, exuberant, freedom-loving.

But you may also be irascible, selfish, authoritarian, inconsistent, unfaithful, brutal, unreliable, reckless, tactless or disagreeable.

Yeah, pretty much. lol
 
I'm curious, would it differ from AM to PM? I was born AM, vs PM.... but I didn't see a spot to differentiate.
 
df~ military time in the second line.
 
nope my rising sign was aries, i am a capricorn all the way, I am cold and uncaring :wink2:
 
Well Im a Leo/Virgo and my Rising sign is Leo, so i really dont think it makes a difference :lol:

Do you know the location of your birth? That's what it needs.

My name is dragonfly and I iz not paying attention. :twirl:
 
I am an Aquarius with Cancer rising. So that means I'm open to people but my home and family are my top priority.

My DH is a Cancer with Scorpio rising. So he feels intensely that family is important. He also has an ability to concentrate that is downright scary and typically Scorpio.

We just got a Christmas card from an old employee that showed him with his five happy kids. It was the only time I've ever seen DH jealous . . .
 
O man, i looked up my FI...he is an Aquarius, but his Rising sign is Sagit...and let me tell you, that is him to a T....Indepent, and Selfish, but very outgoing, and can be loving, and giving. Goodness....that is Him.

That's okay, I used it about 3 times before I realized that it was military time. :wink2:
 
I'm a Capricorn with Gemini rising. I'm not a Capricorn AT ALL - I think it almost fits me the least out of all the signs. Gemini fits better than Cap, as I am very curious and flighty. My mind is always jumping from one thing to another.
 
Scorpio with Gemini ascending.

I have characteristics of both, I think. I certainly live in my mind and jump from subject to subject, like a gemini, but I am not the least sociable.
 
My sun sign is Taurus, and parts of it fit me parts of it don't.

My rising sign is Libra. When I read the short description that iLander put up, it does not fit me. But the description on the page that was linked, it fits me pretty well.
 
I'm Gemini, Libra Rising, with an Aquarius Moon. All 3 air signs - anybody know what that means?
 
Interesting! I'm about half and half. I'm an Aquarius with Cancer my rising sign, and I see myself in both.
 
All three air signs? Travel much?

Ha! Actually, yes - or I used to.
 
Impressive! I am definitely my rising sign - Taurus, by your description iLander. Steadfast, loyal to the last bone to "my people" and "my projects", and if I want to get it done I will get it done.

The online description is somewhat less accurate for me - I am very competitive, and I need to be number one at everything I do. I am not the least bit patient, though I am happy to continue working toward some goal so long as I keep seeing progress. I do loathe changes in general, definitely not the up and go type, but I completely changed my chosen career path so I'm not incapable of it.

This part: With this Ascendant, you come across as loyal, steadfast, strong, patient, enduring, persistent, attached, sensual, realistic, constructive, tenacious, with a strong need for security. But you may also be stubborn, rigid, possessive, materialistic, static, slow, and you may bear grudges. is very true!


DH's sign is very close, too!
