Could someone please look at it and see why I don't fit well with my rising. The only way I think I am similar to a Leo is that I'm creative (yet I have a stellium in Pisces and they are creative) and I like to look nice image wise. I can be loud at times but more often than not I'm more reserved.

I would love to be more like a Leo, I've always wanted to be an extrovert!

But when it comes to the basics, the ascendant is your immediate personality--what others see when they first come in contact with you. Any planets in the 1st house, especially conjunct the Asc, can influence it. If you don't have planets in the 1st house, you can look to your chart ruler for clues as to how your ascendant plays out.

In your case, since Leo is ruled by the Sun, this would be your chart ruler. The reason why you don't feel like a Leo rising at all must be because your Sun is in Pisces and is in the 8th house. Pisces is a reserved sign and does not care much for attention. The 8th house is about mysteries, secrets, hidden things, intimate sex, darkest fears, and shared possessions. It is also a water house. When the Sun is in a water house, it can be kind of difficult for it to express itself, and thus it stays hidden and "watered down". The Sun cannot burn as bright as it should in these houses. But that does not mean you are bound to this for life. Remember, there is always free will. You just have to figure out how to channel your Sun's energy outwardly. In this case, facing your darkest fears, being more open and trusting with people, and sharing your talents with the world.

Also, your Sun squares Saturn. Saturn represents restriction, criticism, discipline, coldness, and responsibilities. When the Sun is in hard aspect with Saturn, this could mean you criticize yourself too much, making you insecure and feeling that you're not "good enough". This restricts self-expression, which the Sun is all about. This could also make you appear "cold" and untrusting to people, which can drive them away instead of attract them to you.

The square to Chiron can indicate some internal wounds regarding yourself that you have not healed yet.

Leo is not about hogging attention and capturing the spotlight, etc. It's true essence is in its ability to shine constantly (fixed fire is the Sun, eternal warmth and light) in order to encourage and help others shine. To really have a positive effect on others. I'm sure on first meeting others would experience your warmth and your glow, and feel uplifted in your presence.

Do you feel great pain about your hopes and dreams? Like a great angst when it comes to them?

Look at the houses before and after. If you have great pain there, then your time of birth is off imo

Having Leo Rising may be just what you need to settle into your life path, all charts give you all the tools you need to fulfill your destiny, somehow self-expression is one of your goals. Pisces and Leo may seem completely different but both these signs are trying to transcend their creativity to a higher octave. Leo is a sign of spirit, it's about manifesting your spirit and what you truly want to show the World, Leo would be the fastest way to do that as no other sign has the ability to do this efficiently like Leo has in its arsenal.

Leo rules the heart and willpower, the only sign to have the strength to symbolize the Sun. You also have Uranus and Neptune in the 5th, you are suppose to shake things up and be very unique. Neptune is the ruler of your Sun, Neptune is in the 5th house which is Leo's natural house placement, so this is another clue that Leo energy is part of your future life path.

Are you the type to talk about your feelings a lot? Or do you find it easy to convey/get in touch with your feelings?

You are Leo rising, more than you think, but you just have not discovered it yet. Look at the placement of Pisces Sun Moon Mercury (all in the top half of your chart with your other personal planets, definitely extrovert) square to Saturn. Saturn, the planet with the rings, places great restrictions, or limits on you times 3. Saturn has a difficult place in 4th House. I'm guessing you have had strong parental influence, to be who they expected you to be, and so you may be very conscious of how you present yourself to the world. So easy for Pisces to flow along with others' expectations.

There is a lot to be happy for when you're a Leo Rising, and it can be super beneficial to watery charts, more like a gift you grow into.

I am definitely unique. I'm an artist and I have the most random thoughts in my head almost every hour. I used to date a guy who was very black and white, he had zero creativity. He always seemed enamoured by my creative side because he lacked it so. It sounds like I definitely have a lot of Neptune in my chart.
