I don't talk about how it influences your physical appearance, per se. More so your whole aura, energy, walk, way of carrying and projecting yourself, which has a big influence on the general way you appear to others. I also talk about how the Rising sign influences the way you introduce yourself, meet people, and break the ice, which I've found to be very accurate. And how your Rising is your "resting face."

Each profile is also symbolized by a celebrity who I think is an ideal version of that Rising sign. So, check out who your Rising sign twin is (mine is Paul Newman, , lucky me).

And I really like Jennifer Lawrence, she's genuine. Excellent Aqua rising representative to trip at the Oscars and then be totally cute about it, yep, that's an Aqua thing also

I think genuine we all Aqua risings are, we don't pretend and we're very honest. I like the part you wrote about us making unexpected remarks when meeting someone, that's definitely true. Especially if our MC is in Sag I have yet to meet an Aqua rising that isn't friendly to strangers. I give every person I meet a chance, never judge them by their looks or anything else, they have yet to prove me they're "bad" or "good". I am excellent at making interviews to strangers on the field, because I know how to feel everyone comfortable, whether they are rich, poor, old, young... I'm unpretentious.
I do make very expressive mimic when I talk. And apparently I have a very recognizable walk, didn't realize that until a colleague pointed that out to me, I walk energetically and move my arms, actually whole body, bit weird

And I am never aware of how others perceive me, not if I don't know them and they tell me... And actually, I don't really care what acquaintances think of me. I'm usually taken by surprise when that kind of info comes to me. For example, I found out years later that my high school mates were making fun of me behind my back. Lately I found out my colleagues at uni think I'm an odd fella. Which is funny, I don't care, maybe I'm even a little proud

I doubt that you mind being seen as weird, haha. In fact, we really actually like when people describe us in ways that fit our Ascendant. I'm a Capricorn Rising and I pretty much beam whenever people comment that I'm very mature for my age. I actually want people to think that. I like being seen as 25 going on 40.

I'm glad the profile fit you so well. You talked about interviewing strangers on the field? What do you do? Journalism of some sort? That's pretty fitting for Aquarius.

ikja,
Aw, I'm glad that article moved you. I'm guessing you have an 8th House Moon, obviously. Has that been an ongoing struggle?

Thank you! Yes, I think that's the impression Sag Rising usually makes. Winning others over by playing the fool or embarrassing themselves a bit.

They usually describe Ascendant like something we'd really like to be, like we strive towards that, so yeah, no wonder we're both proud of our Aqua or Cap qualities I'm quite Uranian, so I really identify with it, but I do feel Saturn too... I'm always striving for balance between Saturn and Uranus, but that's other stuff in my natal. I bet you really are mature for your age, if I'm guessing right by your nickname, and you wrote all those wonderful interpretations on you blog (which I'm ferociously devouring - reading right now!). There's some wisdom right there, pouring out of your writing I've come across your writings some months ago, but some of the "new" stuff is really brilliant. Not to derail the topic too much, but Mars/Neptune is hands down one of the best if not the best I've read. Are the aspects you've covered first, the ones you have? Because they are so spot on..

Oh no, I'm not a journalist, although that was one of my childhood dreams but then I read in some (****** ) reference book for pupils that one of the bad sides of journalism is that they most often than not become alcoholics (talking 'bout stereotypes!), which made total sense to me and I decided I was gonna be something less stressful. I changed my ideas a lot, but now it seems I'm gonna have the same nerve wrack of a job at the end.

I was part of a research on a health screening program, we wanted to know why people aren't responding etc., kind of an anthropological research. I'm also gonna do a whole lot of interviewing for my Masters, not health related, but with regards to the prevalent ideology in public schools. Then I'm gonna revolutionize the school system, step by step (I wanted to make a classic Aqua statement, but I'm for real)

Ah, I see. Well, what you're doing now sounds really interesting and very fitting for Aquarius. Changing the society and the world around you. I'm sure that makes all of your Uranus energy happy.

And thanks so much! I love writing those aspect articles and getting to go in-depth with them. I actually just realized, by you saying that, that almost every article on the aspects that I've done is one that I have (the only ones that aren't my own are Venus-Pluto and Mars-Pluto). BUT, to be fair, I have a TON of aspects, much more than most people. Because I was born during that whole Saturn-Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Cap and I also have Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Virgo. So, lots of trines going on and a few sextiles, particularly from my Moon in Scorpio, touching a lot of the outer planets. So, it's hard for me to not write an article about one of my aspects cause I have so many.

I'm glad you loved the Mars-Neptune one! I have the trine and a lot of these articles came from the process of me figuring out what each one meant to me. And I've always figured that Mars-Neptune made me have a passion for being an artist. But, it's only been until recently that I've gained real strength and confidence from that. The fact that I'm not going to be fulfilled by "the real world." With all of that Earth, I'm very practical in many ways but I'm just not a "realist." I think there's a subtle difference. That's a depressing way to live because, when you deny your Mars energy, you're depressed. So, I realized that Mars-Neptune people are very unfulfilled without some "other world" to channel their energies into productively and successfully. And that a healthy distance from the everyday world needs to be made for you to stay motivated and active. And that being driven toward this other plane doesn't make me lost or aimless like Neptune's influence is stereotypically described.

So, yeah, that's been the process for a lot of those articles: me coming to terms with how they affect me and then wanting to share that knowledge with others and inspire them to handle the energy positively. Same thing happened with Mercury-Uranus and Mars-Uranus recently (I have the trine for both). I'd love to do a reading for you, if you're up to it.

Oh, and Lindaland is hilariously strict with fouler words. You can't even say wh*re on here.

Loving to write and getting to know thyself, having aha moments while dwelling on the text is so Virgo. I should know, we share the same Venus and Mercury... Also connected to transpersonal planets, so I understand where you’re coming from. It’s really a blessing for you to have that Virgo gift for understanding and perceiving, substantiated by some of the transcendental magic, earth combined with universal insights, the best for astrology in my opinion, and that Scorpio Moon of yours.. I should’ve known really, I kinda sense you guys, always so insightful! I appreciate Scorpio energy, I wonder if your Moon is conjunct my Sun/Moon midpoint.. So, a Leo with Scorpio Moon (sorry, my if my Virgoesness is all stalkerish on you), I once met a guy while travelling, a truly compelling person, he has so much qualities I admire. Anyway, no wonder you started with your own aspects, it’s what you know the best. One can never get to wholly understand another’s subjectivity anyhow, that’s the tragic with all the sciences that study inner life of others. With such a spectre of aspects it is your destiny to be comprehensive. With the trines and sextiles you’re saved from the "projection" problems

Mars-Neptune is such a classic for astrology too I’ve got the quincunx though, which I’ve been ignoring for many years, because I simply didn’t understand it... Only now I’m becoming to realize the great extent of influence it has on me... I do paint sometimes, to my soul’s satisfactions, so I understand your craving for art. It’s wonderful that you’ve discovered that about yourself, go for it! What people usually don’t understand is that Virgo can be quite ethereal, it’s not “plain” earth, I’ve imagined it in my mind as dust storms, earth floating, moving... And yes, you’ve gotta act on your Mars or you get stuck, just like you wrote in the article. I think that’s my favourite part, because I’ve never thought about it in that way. You know, because I have a quincunx I had a hard time accepting Neptune in my life, I was always being judgemental of procrastinators, people who used drugs, drank alcohol, were not productive, didn’t have goals etc. (also due to Saturn in 12H), but in last two years I’ve got to thinking about life, the world, universe and completely discarded all the capitalist values, the materialistic and rationalistic logic that prevails has made so much damage to this world, it’s people, all creatures... I think it’s time people embraced Neptune a little more. And me too. You know, astrology never ceases to amaze me. With my 12H NN and Saturn I’ve got a very Neptune/Pisces strong family... My father a Pisces, mother that has Sun and Mercury conjunct Neptune and a sister that has “only” a Pisces Venus but lots of Neptunian aspects and they all manifest it so differently... But I was born into this family for a reason. Yes, distance from everyday must take place, whether be by art, dreams, dancing, music... Were you ever into any spiritual martial arts?
Well, you can still be a realistic idealist. At least that’s what I am.

I would strongly advise you (in a non threatening tone) to continue your wonderful mission to share your astro knowledge, that’s what every Mars/Neptune person should do
Are you sure about the reading? You mean here? I don’t know if you’d find my chart that interesting. I’m a bit overwhelmed, I would love it too.

Well, we shan’t go into policies any further, my rebellious self would easily say too much

However,I have a strong since of justice and I hate a disruptive environment,I feel literal sick! I always want to treat people fair. You hit the nail on the coffin with this Libra rising quote >>> "Your manner of breaking the ice is very courteous and relatable, as you immediately appear to be very interested in the other person. "

That was spot on,haha! Like wow

And also,you did a good job conveying your writing and thoughts to all races and genders. I feel like anybody can read this and identify with your articles without feeling alienated! Sometimes rising sign description can be so vague,superficial, and just go by looks. I remember one time an article said that most libra rising have long blonde hair? I was like you have to be kidding me,haha!

Oh, that's cool that we have the same Mercury and Venus! We also have Saturn in the 12th, too (my Uranus and Neptune are, as well). Is your North Node in Capricorn or Aquarius? Mine is Aquarius, 1st House. I'm feeling like we might be around the same age.

Yeah, I agree. There is something a bit ethereal to Virgo energy, also because Pisces is the flip side to Virgo energy. All the signs have overlapping traits of their opposites. I agree with you that it's depressing to go along with the conventional capitalist values of the world. I'm not the most conservative Capricorn Rising, since Neptune is conjunct and NN in Aquarius is in the 1st. Like I said, I like being very mature and practical and responsible for my own actions/karma. But, I think that the journey through life does not have to be so traditional and linear, as well as so based on material gain. Also, my chart ruler being in the 12th plays a big part in that, I'm sure.

I imagine that you would experience the quincunx in that way. It's an aspect that's even more unbalanced than the opposition because, at least, in the opposition, the signs share commonalities, even if they're very different in their style. With the quincunx, they're like night and day. I'm glad that you still related to the Mars-Neptune article, anyway. I realize that I only do the five major aspects in my articles: conjunct, square, opposite, sextile, trine. I'm not a fan of the minor aspects, like the quintile and all of that, to be honest. I don't see them as that important, no offense to anyone else. But, the quincunx can often make quite a difference, especially if it's tight. I think it plays out just like you said: you can identify with one planet and not the other. And it's not even a see-saw, back-and-forth thing like with the opposition. It's truly clinging to one and not understanding the other at all, until you develop the self-awareness that you obviously have.

And I'm sure your chart's interesting! I do personal readings through my blog for anyone who's interested. They're not free but they are very reasonable. The page where you can buy them is listed under January 2015. I write them up in a Word document. So, yeah, I'd love to do yours, if you're up to it.

Leo Rising people behave like they’re a character in a movie or a stage play, complete with the vivid facial expressions and dramatic verbal flair that defines a great actor. Because of this, they draw a mesmerized audience to them.
