Scorpio Ascendant

The Rising Sign, also known as the Ascendant Sign, depicts the way we present ourselves to the outside world. It is the face we show to others, particularly during the first few meetings. It does not necessarily link up with our Sun sign which is our true identity or inside personality that is more in line with who we truly are. At some point in time, our purpose is to join the outer persona with the inner personality and mold them into one, thus becoming whole.

Those that are born with Scorpio Rising have similar characteristics of those with the Sun in Scorpio only in so far as the outside person reflects this character. If you have Scorpio Rising, you may be quiet or loud but rarely in between. Regardless of which one you show to the world, you will get noticed. When you walk into a room, people notice you and your demeanour is captivating. Most people with this rising sign have pointed features and piercing eyes that seem to look past any superficial character traits that others may try to exhibit. They are able to see to the core. Some find this intriguing and others find this somewhat intimidating.

Many with this Rising Sign are drawn into partnerships that are intense although individuals that are down to earth, practical and reliable in nature hold this individual’s attention. They are deep and want a partner that is dedicated and committed to them and them alone. Partnership is important but they are quite self-sufficient and are not dependant on others to help them through their life’s challenges. In meaningful relationships, they have an all or nothing attitude. They are also very sexual and exude sexual energy. Sex is an important factor in their intimate relationships and some can become overly obsessive about their sexual appetite.

Sometimes, they present themselves as being cool and aloof and sometimes they are rather indignant and pushy. They will not be pushed or pulled by anyone and are never at the mercy of someone else. They are strong enough to handle most any situation that life throws at them. The emotions run deep and their lifelong lesson has to do with balancing the emotions and finding a way to present self in a manner that feels right.

Their mission is to get to know self and transform their character flaws as time passes. Once they evolve into this personality which is quite possible, they are capable of selfless acts for the betterment of those around them. They first have to face their own demons (as most individuals with strong Scorpio characteristics have something hidden deep inside that needs adjustment). Once this is accomplished, they can help others conquer their own obscurities and face themselves head on without fear and judgement.
