The right people will notice you.

The right girl wouldn't ditch you for your friend. That's a bit**. Not the type of girl you want to attract.

I always personally zero in on the ones who blend. Much more interesting, almost every time.

If you really dont want to blend, build up your self confidence buddy. Body language and attitude are EVERYTHING.People sense it.

What I've noticed about the guys in the background is yes maybe it's take longer to get someone to notice them and to get the respect they deserve, but when they do it's real and it lasts!

The thing about being the pretty one is everyone is looking at you for one reason, your presence or appearance! It's not that they think intelligent, deep, witty or a person with great wisdom...they just think aesthetically easy on the eyes!
That doesn't get you far in life and most pretty people get so caught up in the attention they forget looks only last so long, esp if you don't try to maintain!
Usually these people end up never learning how to work hard for what they want because things came to easy, but the guys in the background have been learning how to be special for other reasons...and as the looks fade in the attractive those other qualities are all we have....something you will have and unfortunately the pretty people might not!

My brother like you, has Cap Rising with Uranus and Neptune in the 1st. He use to blend when he was younger, inexperienced and somewhat shy. He doesn't blend anymore though.

So do I...I think it is awesome! Trust me, as you get older you will start to enjoy your Cap rising and see it as a blessing.

I have a Cap stellium in 1st and I wouldn't change it for the world. I used to be really, really shy and now you cannot shut me up.

Just work on your confidence- this is one of the lessons for Saturn risers- and things will get better!

The sexiest man I've ever met is a cap rising!! He says he wasn't sexy when he was younger, he still doesn't think he is sexy at all!
But just as everyone else has said about cap rising ....he grew into this presence that is just intense, raw and deep, he's still not your typical 'sexy'....he's so much better than that!
And his humility just puts him over the edge is sexiness....when a completely hot guy doesn't get that he's hot, omg!! That's just too much, that is what makes girls that are pretty but also have some depth fall in love!

@BellaFenice Cap rising probably does pay off, but I'm getting so impatient cus I'm only 19. Im supposed to look better when I'm older, but i don't even want to live to be that old haha

@Gabby: Thanks, but I'm at that age where people don't acknowledge modesty and things like that and I don't want to risk having anything 'real' either. thanks though, all this made me feel a little bit better.

He's like a brother to me and we hang out a lot, but everyone always gives their attention to him and I'm always that second person that no one cares about..I cant even get a girlfriend without the fear of her becoming interested in him. Its not that i dont want him to have any attention, because I'm actually happy for him..its just that i want to be treated equal and seen as equal. Its a terrible feeling when your in public and some people look at him like hes really interesting and im just some regular kid or his side kick.Its like hes more special than me and im just some background person. It makes me feel worthless and i shouldnt exist. I already have low self esteem and my moon in scorpio just makes it worse. the only times a girl will approach me is to ask me questions about him. Even if i meet a friend before him they start liking him more than me..I dont want to be better than him, i just want people to care about me and treat us equally. Is there any way i can get a psychic or something to change my rising sign?

I have Cap rising and can command the attention of a room. Astrology plays a small role, but what will attract attention is showing confidence. If you want to attract attention, you need to show confidence through your body language. Don't walk over all hunched over. Stand up straight. Walk like you own the place! Also, don't forget to smile. Smiling makes you look 10x more attractive and friendly. People like to be around those who exhibit positive vibes. If you don't feel like you measure up to your friend, then other people will pick up on it.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you have many wonderful qualities that your friend would kill to have.

@Astra I feel like it's so unatural if i try to do that though. I can do whatever it takes and he'll somehow get more attention and care without even trying. If he doesnt have to put in the effort to do that then why should I? i appreciate it though, thanks.

THIS is exactly how I feel about my best friend, too. She has Libra rising and I have Gemini rising. People tend to like her better than me when they first meet her because of her looks. I'm jealous of her, too. But in a way, we kind of worked out our differences by talking it out. We had a confession to each other one night and she told me she was jealous of me because I'm more outgoing and fun. I told her about my envy of her looks. She's usually the shy one and then there's me, the social butterfly. I guess she wants attention not coming from her looks but from her eccentric way of thinking (Aquarius sun), yet she never gets it. The thing is, we both have something we lack in our individual selves. In a way, we complement each other very well. You may not realize this for now, but maybe your best friend is jealous of you too, in some way. I guess if you guys talk it out, you'd probably find out some things about him you never even knew about. Who knows? Maybe you're better than him at something. Trust me, you're good at something that he's not. It's just up to you to find out what it is.

@Solar_Leo_Queen i kinda get you. its really a sad feeling and I'm glad you understand that cus i feel like theres seriously almost no one who understands. I am better at certain things than him, but i feel like those things I'm good at don't really matter. I feel like its worse because he's better looking, smarter, and just overall a better human being than i am. I guess I'm happy for him though..i wouldnt want him to feel how i feel.

@libra: how libra of you!!! Gosh! Why do you think your friend didn't work for it? I'm pretty popular but I make an effort every day to reach out to ppl. I have saturn, mercury and sun square Asc so things didn't come easily for me for a long time. But now that I've worked for the things I have, i can tell you that when I see someone already shuts out all the options and gives up, I give up on that person too. If you want something, you need to work for it. His Asc might be great but he has other challenges himself. If he is a scorpio rising then his childhood wasn't great and he can pick out dishonesty in ppl. I'm assuming he has leo midheaven, which means he wants to encourage all the ppl around him to be better. That's a lot of work. I love leo midheaven but I don't envy them


Similarly to the poster who envy libra Asc, most libra Asc have capricorn 4th house and feel like they never had a childhood. Nothing is as it seems

Maybe find a new group of friends to hang out with? Not saying you should stop being friends with this person/group... just find others to spend time with too that don't make you feel that way. I think a lot of girls experience something similar where we feel we need to make friends who are "on the same level" looks wise, otherwise it becomes a competition and the "hot ones" get all the attention lol. But it's all relative... you could be at the bottom of the totem pole in one group but at the top in another.. And if you're confident in yourself it shouldn't even matter once you know you can get attention either way. Until you feel that way on your own unfortunately people with low confidence tend to keep surrounding ourselves with others who will re-enforce those insecurities... (and actually it's very rarely about looks)

About your rising sign, I knew a Cap Asc-Scorpio sun guy who was really attractive and got plenty of female attention, but it was like he was too reserved or held back for whatever reason to really appreciate or even believe it was happening. I was pretty forward with telling him I find him attractive and interesting, etc. (Sag moon and mercury, can't help it sometimes lol) and he literally said something along the lines of "yeah well you're the only girl who thinks that". And I was just thinking... you're either blind or you know you're actually hot and are fishing for compliments lol.

Soo anyway sorry for the tangent, but my point is I think it's a Cap tendency in general to feel insecure sometimes even when there's no reason for it, but really don't let the attention someone else is getting make you feel like you don't have any qualities worth noticing. Chances are you do and just need to believe in yourself more

I'm libra AC, I'd switch libra looks for a decent childhood in an instant! I didn't have a childhood and what I did have was a nightmare....so thanks to my AC I got screwed hardcore out of a childhood or loving family! Mean, overbearing, critical describes my caretakers and lonely, insecure and expected way to much of describes my childhood!
Being pretty does not make up for what was lost, if you have people who love you why do you need to be pretty anyway? You don't need to attract love, it is already all around you!
I see people with parents that are supportive and encouraging, or at the very least there for their kids to talk to them when they need to talk...if I told my mom my stresses and anxiety she would pretend to care then run and tell anyone who would listen and I'd become everyone's favorite gossip topic! It's hard growing up feeling your family are the ones you need to protect yourself from!

I mean no disrespect..hes my best friend and I'd rather have myself be the less attractive one if i had to choose, but its just frustrating sometimes. I understand the consequences of scorpio rising and would still rather have that than cap rising.

You know, you really gotta work on your self-esteem more. Like for me, it's true that people notice her more the first time they meet both of us, but when I start talking, I tend to draw in more crowds than she does. I agree about people telling you to put the effort to grab attention. Like actually try to get people to notice you using something else other than your looks. This is what I do to cope up with my insecurities. If I can't be confident about my looks, then I will be confident about my intellect and my talents. People like confidence whether you're better-looking or not. If you project an image of a confident person, you won't have trouble getting the attention that you need. And with practice, it will come as easily as it came to other people. You just gotta work on boosting your self-esteem. Instead of focusing on what he has that you don't have, focus more on yourself. Make everything about you. Just don't get too self-absorbed in the process. Don't play the victim, 'cause you'll only get more victimized. Think to yourself that if he can do it, you can do it better. Positive thinking always helps attract what you want to you. Never have doubts in the universe. Ever heard of the law of attraction? Positive thoughts attract positive things and vice versa. If you're gonna keep looking down on yourself, chances are, people will keep looking down on you as well. I say, chin up and be the best that you can be

I know how you feel seriously… my 1 best friend used to be a model, and she's extremely funny too, so ofc everybody loves her and want's to talk about her all the time more than me.

I got a bit tired of this actually…once we met a man in the city who randomly approached us. He actually tried to tell me why I would be hanging out with my best friend, because she was so much prettier than me, and it was so obviously that I was just her doormat. I didn't even got angry with him, cause I could never believe what he said, but he was true about one thing that was between the lines. She was shining more than me at that time, but that's probably because I had so low self-confidence.

Through the years I've also made other friend-groups to hang out with, and slowly I realized that I'm ok looking and maybe my 1 friend was something out of the ordinary.
But I cannot compare myself to her, and I doesn't want to? It's exiting to be with her, cause we meet all these nice people all the time, and maybe they noticed her first and think she's prettier, but whatever?
Some other days I go out with other people and now I'm the prettiest girl, where people would rather approach me and that's fine.
It's not a competition, and I really learned that it doesn't matter, those people who really like you will get to you, no matter who you are together with.
And those people you like who doesn't like you, won't like you more if you were alone or with some other friends.

I also noticed that if I feel good one night, I get so much more attention than if I feel bad. It's really about how you feel inside that counts. And getting attention is sure nice SOME days, but it's actually really hard to get too much attention all the time. My 1 friend is often complaining about it, cause it's hard to always being looked at, like they are waiting that my friend will do something special. It's also hard to turn a lot of people down and it creates conflicts with people!

Im a scorpio rising, and I always get overshadowed by other people. Like others have stated, you probably just need to work on your confidence and self-expression a bit more. If anything I would assume earth ascendants are the lucky one's because they naturally blend into society and their environment. They would easy to grasp. As a scorp rising, Pisces sun I feel very out of place in public, just different and unrelatable. Maybe you need to try getting evolved with different social scenes that appeal to you and you excel in. What are your hobbies?
