Scorpio Descendant
If Scorpio lies on your Descendant, you're seeking a torrid romantic partner, someone with whom you can get very intimate. Since you have Taurus Rising -- a Sign associated with perseverance and stubbornness -- you seem to the world quite in control of your appetites and passions. Behind closed doors, you're craving intense, lusty encounters, profound and complex connections and unrestrained emotion expression. When it comes to falling in love, you put on a brave and diligent face, sizing up your potential mate, assessing their physical beauty (a high priority for Taurus Rising) and material worth. Once you've got a lover in your sights, though, your defensive layers peel away like skin off an onion, your simmering emotions and passions heating things up in no time. A partner who is somewhat possessive and intense, someone keyed into your ardent desires will make you the happiest.

Pisces Descendant
If Pisces lies on your Descendant, you wish for a romantic partner who is as tuned into the universe's rhythms and to the joy and transcendant possibilities of love as you are. Since you've got Virgo Rising, people often see you as serious and meticulous, as needing to quantify everything and be in control, someone who enjoys being needed; you may seem like the type who views love as way to security rather than as a mystical and exciting experience. When it comes to falling in love, you are at first hesitant, cautious and businesslike, quantifying your potential partner's qualities to discern whether or not they're worth your time. But it's all quite to the contrary once you're intimate with someone; in love you're actually looking for someone with whom you can share intense emotional connections and perhaps a common spirituality, someone who can read your mind and intuit your needs. A mate whose open mind and heart will free you from fears or reservations will make you the happiest.

Gemini Descendant
If Gemini lies on your Descendant, you're searching for a partner who will help you to see the trees for the forest, someone who will deflate your rhetoric with their keen view of reality. Since you have Sagittarius Rising, you have a tendency to want to roam the world endlessly, to continuously question your life's path and explore your every whim and curiosity. Being tied down frightens you, and you instinctually seek out partners who will make you aware of the smaller picture, someone who will want to keep moving around as much you do. When it comes to love, you paint with broad strokes, idealizing the notion of love and expecting your lovers to live up to your high intellectual expectations. You'd be happiest with someone vibrant and youthful; they must mentally stimulate you yet not congratulate you for your occasional arrogance and preachiness!

Libra Descendant
If Libra lies on your Descendant, you're searching for a romantic partner with an even temperament and a sense of inner harmony. Since you have Aries Rising -- a Sign associated with aggressiveness and action -- you seem to the world quite spontaneous, bold and assertive. Beneath the surface, though, you're a soft-hearted romantic who yearns to meet that special someone and settle down. Coupledom -- even with all its inherent benefits and aggravations -- profoundly appeals to you, the idea of sharing your life with one person resonating in your soul. When it comes to falling in love, you may at first seem blasé, too preoccupied and busy with your own dynamic lifestyle. You may even warn your potential mate of your roving eye or your need for freedom; once you've got their ear, though, you'll reveal your heart's true intentions. A mate keen on marriage and building a family will make you the most satisfied.

Aquarius Descendant
If Aquarius lies on your Descendant, you aim to meet a romantic partner who will expose you to life's rich variety, a true individualist and independent. Since you have Leo Rising -- a Sign associated with imperiousness, drama and positivity -- you seem like someone who requires much adoration and attention. You give the impression that you want a mate who will coddle you and cajole your powerful ego. To the contrary, though, you're actually looking for a relationship partner who will step back when necessary, giving you a break from all the attention you're always receiving. When you fall in love, you do so with an open heart, showering your new mate with lots of gifts and affection; once you've got their attention, though, you reveal your true desires. A mate who is eccentric, active, intelligent and inspiring will make you the happiest.

Capricorn Descendant
If Capricorn lies on your Descendant, you aspire to meet someone who is successful, honest and dignified, a romantic mate whose gifts to you go beyond flowers and foot massages and more toward fiscal security and unswerving devotion. Since you have Cancer Rising -- a Water Sign associated with emotional sincerity and the maternal instinct -- you seem to desire someone whom you can baby or dote on, someone who will only intensify your tender vulnerability. On the contrary, you're actually seeking a partner who is more mature than you (you may in fact marry someone a bit older than you!), someone on whom you can rely, someone to dote on you! When it comes to falling in love, you seem to lead with your heart; once you've got a potential mate's attention, though, you pull out your checklist of desired qualities and assets. A partner of status who is serious, established and ambitious will best suit you.

Taurus Descendant
If Taurus lies on your Descendant, you yearn for a romantic mate who can offer you a sense of material comfort and stability, someone dependable and reassuring. Since you have Scorpio Rising -- a Sign known for its obsessive and secretive tendencies -- you seek out someone whose calm and comforting nature will soothe your fears and build up your confidence. You aspire to create harmonious, affectionate relationships, possibly to deflect the mysterious and sort of dark energy you seem to attract because of your mysterious Rising Sign. When it comes to falling in love, you really only give yourself over once you know that a potential partner possesses a reliable source of income and a balanced temperament. You may even feel the urge to delve into your mate's past to make certain what they're telling you is true: And this includes peeking at their bank statement and investigating the histories of past relationships!

Virgo Descendant
If Virgo lies on your Descendant, you desire a mate who is selfless in their service and dedication to you, a lover who will provide unwavering reliability and stability. Since you have Pisces Rising, others see you as dreamy, emotionally pliable, submissive even. Consequently, you may feel you need a mate who can anchor you in reality and clue you in when you're overlooking important facts and clues. You need someone who is pragmatic and astute, alert to the world's perils and possibilities, someone who will keep you on your toes. When you fall in love, you do so with your heart open, your idealistic romantic notions bared and vulnerable; it wouldn't feel like love to you if you were guarded. Though you seem to enjoy having your head in the clouds, you're actually craving structure and security, the kind of certainty that comes from routines and habitual behavior.

Aries Descendant
If Aries lies on your Descendant, you're seeking a love partner who will stimulate you, someone dynamic and assertive. Since you have Libra Rising -- a Sign known for its indecisiveness and caution -- you feel as though you need someone who's resolute in their actions. You crave relationships full of fireworks and surprises, so expect that, with whomever you attract, you will experience some spirited conflicts and misunderstandings. It's in your nature to fall quick and to fall hard, impulsively wrapping yourself up in someone's life before you even take a moment to consider the consequences of the union. You may also marry on a whim. With the combination of impetuous Aries on the Descendant and romantic Libra Rising, you could wake up single in the morning and find yourself hitched in Vegas by nightfall!

Leo Descendant
If Leo lies on your Descendant, you're hunting for a mate who is as gregarious and sociable as you, but who possesses the sort of resolute confidence and emotional expressiveness that you sometimes feel you lack. Since you have Aquarius Rising -- a Sign associated with aloof intellectuality and humanitarian interests -- you need a mate who will counter your self-deprecating pride with their own brand of pride -- of a more effervescent, positive variety. You hold your own in the spotlight, assured and well-spoken. When the attention turns to your love life, though, to sharing your most intimate emotions with another person, you run and hide, fearful of being pinned down or caged; and yet you instinctually seek out romantic partners who are steadfast and loyal and who will worship you and spoil you with unconditional support and affection.

Aries descendant here. A few years ago, I got engaged to someone after knowing them for nine days. Fortunately we broke up before getting hitched. This description is spot on for me! (I also have Venus in Aries, though.)

Cancer Descendant
~If Cancer lies on your Descendant, you're looking for a love mate who will free you from the emotional chains you lock yourself up in, someone whose warm, affectionate and protective nature will melt your chilly reserve. Since you have Capricorn Rising -- a Sign that signifies a need for control, caution and accountability -- you need a partner who gives freely of their love and their attention. You don't take much time for yourself because you're so worried about keeping up with your obligations, but you instinctually seek out lovers who pamper and spoil you, but who are also somewhat emotionally needy in their own right. When you fall in love, you tend to do so slowly and cautiously, fearful of losing control of your destiny; you'd be most content with someone with whom you can start a family and share a secure home.****

sounds delicious

This fits me to a "T"! It works well as long as my partner is willing to be a little peppy and social, in addition to all that harmony and even temperment...
