Scorpio Rising Sign

Rising Sign meaning, traits, and how it differs from your sun sign

Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the sign that was on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. It governs first impressions — the part of you people meet before they know you. It needs an accurate birth time, since it changes roughly every two hours.

First impression

Intense and self-contained. A Scorpio rising is felt before they speak.

Manner and style

Steady eye contact, economical movement, and a deliberate withholding.

Approaching new situations

Watches a new situation carefully and reveals nothing until it is assessed.

How it differs from the sun sign

Reads as more guarded and more formidable than the person feels inside.
