Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising means Scorpio 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.
Scorpio is a fixed water 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 gaze that holds
Others may sense depth in you before you have said anything: a stillness, a gaze that seems to notice more than it reveals. You often meet the world with caution, deciding slowly whom to let in. Some people feel a pull towards you, or a mystery hard to read, or both. Perhaps your reserve protects something precious, and part of your path is choosing, consciously, when to lift the veil.
