Capricorn rising
Capricorn rising means Capricorn was coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute and place you were born. The Rising sign, or Ascendant, changes about every two hours, so it takes an exact birth time to know it.
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign. The Rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign that was coming up in the east when you were born. It changes about every two hours. In a chart it is the door: how you arrive, and what others meet first.
How you meet the world
A quiet seriousness
You may meet the world with reserve, as if wearing a well-cut coat against the cold. People often see someone capable first, with a maturity beyond their years, perhaps a little distant. Respect might matter to you before affection. With time, a dry humour and an unexpected softness tend to appear. Perhaps your path is allowing yourself youth, play and the unfinished, even if you have always seemed so composed.
To write about
When did you first feel you had to seem older or more capable than you were, and what did that ask of you?
