Everywhere I look it seems people have something bad to say about my rising sign, and as I read their stories I am starting to understand just how much of an arrogant person I can be lol.

Was curious to hear stories / descriptions of other capricorn risings you know, and how you feel about them. Would be even more interesting to know what your rising sign is in relation.

I know a few Capricorn ASC that are very hard working but also have a hedonist side - they like to drink and enjoy themselves as in they work and play hard. But as first glance they seem a bit uptight and reserved - it just takes them a bit longer to unwind that is all.

For years I thought I was a Capricorn ASC but in fact a Sag Asc with Saturn in the 1st House - which lends a similar vibe to Cap ASC.

omg absolutely so true. my capricorn ascendant friends, myself included are all quite hedonistic. Literally always so stressed out about doing everything right but then at the end of the day just getting hammered. I've noticed this with most capricorn / saturn people I have met.

I get along great with Capricorn risers actually.

I have been friends with two cap risers and one I had a fling with.

One is a cancer and the other an aquarius, the aquarius is arrogant and thinks he is a like a guru but I blame that on him been an aquarius with venus in sag and moon in aries LOL. I did fall for him.

The cancer girl with cap rising is the bomb! Not arrogant but confident with that mars in aries in a good way, humble too.

Hmm...I've never heard any complaints about capricorn rising people except they come across as too reserved and cold when you first meet them.

I'm a cap rising and work very hard. I can't relate to hedonism at all. In fact, I avoid alcohol and partying. I don't judge those who enjoy these activities. Staying at home while reading a good book or watching a movie is more my speed.

Your correct. Once you get close to them they start to display there soft side.

The Arrogance side comes from:

a)The perception of people taking the easy route too things and getting it done the lazy way.

b)Working hard and not getting appreciated for it.

Its best if a Cap ASC. has someone they admire or respect within sight to keep them in check.

That way they realize not everyone is dumb and lazy and they also have there own challenges to face.

I'm technically enrolled in two universities at the same time.

One has a crap reputation when it comes to Engineering, but has an overall better reputation.

The other one only has a good reputation only for a few programs, Engineering being one of them. They cut back on every department for the exception of Faculty of Engineering in the 90's. Everything has been restored but good luck repairing the reputation.

It takes 100 yrs for an institution to build a reputable reputation it takes just 4 yrs of bad decisions to destroy it!!.

Anyway, the university with the better Engineering reputation keeps me in check.

I do get ahead of myself at the other university time-to-time thought and get easy A's.

But thats when I revert to the other one and it keeps me in check.

If they could just ease up on the judgmental side. Stop looking down on others and refrain from being so damne pessimistic all the time. Life would be more bearable with them.

I actually fit the quintessential capricorn ascendant. this is hilarious.

does anyone know what vettius valens said about capricorn?

quote:
Capricorn is the house of Saturn, feminine, tropic, earthy, destructive, barren, downward-trending,
chilling, mute, servile, the cause of troubles, brutal, lurking, mysterious, two-natured, moist, half–finished
<=childless?>, a hunchback, lame, the Descendant of the universe, indicative of misfortune and toil, a
sculptor, a farmer. /11P/ Men born under this sign are bad, warped. They pretend goodness and sincerity.
They are toilsome, burdened with care, insomniac, fond of jokes, plotters of great deeds, prone to make
unfortunate mistakes, fickle, criminal, lying, always criticizing, shameful.

The ancients use to describe the ascendant as "horoscope" so if you had a gemini rising it would go as follows: horoscope in gemini

so ascendant is literally you. thats your character. second would be the moon.

i find this so amusing.

@Karkaqueen

I actually was referring to a friend whom I confronted recently. They have Cap Asc. I told them the exact thing i wrote there because they are becoming super itchy to deal with. Never a kind word and prone to underhanded insults

Not all Cap Asc of course. Just the one I told off...

If it's "everywhere you look" then you're probably overlooking where it's not like that. I just looked up Cappie ASC and didn't find it particularly negative.

Though all signs and placements get roasted, and sometimes it's obvious a vendetta against a specific person with the sign (especially when it becomes so universally bad to the point of being contradictory on why the sign is negative).

I've also come to realize that a lot of nonsense I've seen posted about signs and placements are because the aspects are seen from a purely romantic angle--that is, as seen by someone playing the dating game obsessed with romantic relationships who look to see what said sign is like in love (and how accessible and then faithful/fickle they are) and then decide their entire personality is like that and/or judging them based on how compatible they would be which is why I see a lot of WTF descriptions of the signs and placements. It doesn't help that other placements that would modify it are ignored (as is complexity).

SO TRUE, such a good analysis. I have neptune in the first house as well as a taurus moon, so I'm quite a soft fun loving capricorn ascendant; but I have this harsh "gotta get it done" and emotionally detached way with myself especially at work.

I love Capricorn ascendants! They come off like they have it together and are serious people. It usually conjuncts one of my planets in Capricorn, so its a familiar type of energy.

None of the rising signs are good or bad, just a mode of self-expression chosen by us based on our past soul experiences and/or what is most appropriate this lifetime.

Good and bad assessments -- especially related to rising signs come mostly from comparisons in which others seem to be having more fun in life or who seem to have it more together. Entirely irrelevant ultimately, because what really matters is that we get comfortable with ourselves and how we operate.

You can read about Capricorn rising and all rising signs at my rising signs page.

I'm a Capricorn sun and I've never made friends with a Capricorn ASC (at least I don't think. I don't have birth times for all of my friends yet), but the Capricorn ASCs I see in the public world of media all seem to be a little annoying to me. I think it's their reserved nature. I mean, I am reserved too but I think because of my Gemini ASC and several things conjunct my DSC in Sag, I am less awkward about it and more of a bratty child about it. I used to think many Capricorn ASCs are too bigoted and egotistical about their reserved nature. They know they are iffy and reserved and not good at being open with others for really no good reason at times but instead of owning up to it they play it off as them being put into situations where they are the victim and therefore have no choice but to behave that way....I used to do this a lot myself and I think that's kind of why I disliked many Cap ASCs. I saw myself in them! But as time went by I kinda just don't like this behavior anymore... In myself or in others.

I think my Gemini ASC wants me to be less reserved and more childlike lol . I am starting to like Cap ASCs more though. Other than those things I was nitpicking about them, I don't really see what the problem is with them. I have never seen a Capricorn ASC be rude or mean to make someone feel like scum or anything. They seem to be pretty nice and chill people when they're not playing the victim card like their Cancer ASC brothers and sisters...

Thats interesting my older sister is Capricorn sun, Gemini Asc.

While I'm the Gemini sun, Cap rising.
I'm the youngest so I learned to be more responsible because of my sister.

But..as time went on I became the more responsible and serious one. Also I'm male she's female.

I don't believe in past lives so you lost me there.

But I'll give your page a read.

Ah I do have a hedonistic side.

About people with this placement, IDK I think it depends on how the natives handle it, and how it plays with the rest of their chart.

I have cap asc conj 1st house cap saturn (and other capricorn placements, including sun).

I've met quite a few people with cap asc and often I get along well with them, as long as they have the more positive traits of cap energy - or what I consider to be *positive*. Being around those who don't, well it's like looking in a mirror and see what I'm capable of, and frankly it's not a good feeling.

I married another cap asc (libra sun, cap asc). Our ascendants conjunct. He's one of the loveliest people I've ever met. Lol as he ages, he places more importance on proper etiquette, order and such. I tease him relentlessly about that. It's cute.

I have a Capricorn Ascendant, and I can say that I have a deadpan personality/ humor. A part of that has to do with the fact that I am a woman with Aspergers, and that I act more "tomboyish" or masculine than other women. I don't like gossiping or hanging out with groups of women. Instead, I like hanging out with guys and working on music and tech.

From my experience, my Capricorn ascendant also shows that I know when to assert myself and when I should keep quiet. I have problems with people who blab out things because they think they know everything (when in fact, they are misinformed of some things). I try to educate them on what they misunderstand, but if they resist my suggestions I leave them alone. My motto is "You can't fix stupid."

Off the top of my head. All very very creative Cap Risings. I appreciate Cap Rising a lot, but I do have Venus in Capricorn. :-)
