CAPRICORN RISING, CANCER DESCENDING: TENDERLY BUILDING YOURSELF UP HIGH

Capricorn risings are gatherers. They gather people, resources, and connections to build something that gets bigger and bigger over a huge amount of time. Before they start any project, they’re going to be trying to figure out whether it can be sustained for a long period of time. And the number one question that they’re going to be asking themselves is: do I really care about this issue enough to dedicate time to it?

There’s a lot of stuff out there that talks about how Capricorns are all about control but Capricorn is actually a sign that attempts to control the self, not necessarily other people so much. Capricorn risings can be hard on themselves, willing themselves to grow up very quickly even when they’re literal children. With Cancer on the descendent angle, Capricorn risings are mostly looking for tenderness from other people.

Because Capricorn risings don’t necessarily know how to react emotionally in the moment, they may hold meetings around friend dramas almost like they’re at a business meeting. They tend work with their friends as well, starting small projects that really bring people together so business and personal things definitely start to overlap. Within groups, they always try to make sure that things are running smoothly and that no one is doing the bulk of the work. It’s important for them that labor is distributed fairly and with accountability.

This is why is can be actually very surprising when you get to know a Capricorn rising well enough to start to hear about their personal life. Since they’re a bit guarded, it can take a while for your relationship to reach that stage. Even though Capricorn risings are fairly good at navigating relationships where there are responsibilities to be balanced, they can often struggle in relationships where there’s a lot of emotions at play. Capricorn risings are highly emotional but they don’t want to be, meaning that they can often hide behind a guise of only wanting to talk about facts when, in fact, so much is going on in their hearts.

AQUARIUS SECOND HOUSE, LEO EIGHTH HOUSE: COLLECTIVE ACTION

As we mentioned before, Capricorn risings are really good at teamwork. Not only that, they’re also good at making sure that everyone is working towards a goal together. Because their goals are big, they take a lot more than just one person to put into action. Capricorn risings believe in the power of collective action. They know that one branch is much harder to break than a whole bunch. They know that, to go far, that you must go together.

But there’s no way that you’re going to find Capricorn risings be the person working behind the scenes in any scenario. When they create together, they want the group project to make themselves shine. With Leo on the eighth house cusp of building together, they’re the type of leader who doesn’t shy away from having their name and face on the website of the project that everyone is helping build. They want their name out there and they want other people to know that they’re taking people places.

The axis between Aquarius and Leo in the second and eighth house is really about needing their own space when they’re really deep in thought about something, of needing to work in private to actually get things done, and wanting their work to have a social impact and needing other people to acknowledge their work. This can mean that Capricorn risings are always trying to strike a balance between working on a research project in private and trying to figure out how to use the work to connect to community. It can mean that the doing of a project and the sharing of a project are two separate things that they’re always trying to do at the same time.

PISCES THIRD HOUSE, VIRGO NINTH HOUSE: TRANSPARENCY

In a lot of spaces, everyone can start to feel reluctant to talk about politics even when they just have a question. This doesn’t apply to Capricorn rising. They’re not the type to shy away from a hard topic or to filter themselves just because they don’t know how well they will be critically received. When they speak, especially when it’s in criticism against an institution, they’re tough and they’re biting. When they ask questions, they don’t try to filter themselves or to ask the “right” questions. They ask questions that they actually want to know the answers to.

This is important because Capricorn risings aren’t afraid to be wrong. They’re not afraid that someone will take their words the wrong way. They say things that they think will make the entire group grow. While this is an important role in any group, it can create some chaos in terms of interpersonal communication. Sometimes people take things personally even when they’re not meant to be. Sometimes, Capricorn rising may say things that are very thought provoking but accidentally criticize a person who they didn’t mean to criticize.

When everyone is willing to speak with the transparency that Capricorn risings are, this can mean that there are endless discussions of some important topic that is never quite relieved. However, a lot of people like to bundle up their thoughts and save them for another day. This confuses Capricorn risings, who want conversations to be as clear as water. This makes communication murky. Capricorn risings are challenged, in this way, to not only hear what is clearly and loudly said in a room but also to what is hidden and not talked about. This is a little harder for someone who wants everything to be laid out in the open.

ARIES FOURTH HOUSE, LIBRA TENTH HOUSE: SELECTIVE

From the outside, Capricorn risings look extremely well put together. They’re the slightly younger person in a group of older friends, all of who can’t believe that Capricorn rising is younger at all since they act so much older. They dress well, they look clean and polished, and always put the interests of the group before themselves. On social media, they might have a well crafted image if they post at all. A lot of time, it can feel like Capricorn risings feel the pressure to please other people and this can be something that’s frustrating to them.

However, deep inside themselves, Capricorn risings are just like a little kid. They’re excited about what they’re excited about and they really don’t care that much about this stuff that you’re showing them, even if they pretend to. Capricorn risings spend a lot of their private time at home doing whatever it is they want to do, regardless of the consequences.

What this looks like together is that, when working on something together, Capricorn risings will never put any effort into anything that they don’t actually care about. When they really do care about something, that’s when they give their 100%. You’ll know if Capricorn rising doesn’t actually want to go on a trip that you planned with them, work on a writing project together, or go to an event with you because they’re make it super clear. However, if they are invested they’ll come out and make sure that you have a good time as well.

In other words, Capricorn risings are only selfish about how they spend their time when making decisions. Once they decide to commit to something with you, they’re going to hold a lot back and let you take up a lot of space. When you ask them to do something, they’re secretly thinking “do I really care about this?” before saying yes. If they say yes, that’s when they feel like they have to start putting aside a lot of their own interests to make sure that it really works out in the end.

TAURUS FIFTH HOUSE, SCORPIO ELEVENTH HOUSE: INTENTIONAL GIVER

Okay, when Capricorn risings like you and want to show you love, they’re going to go all out. All class consciousness aside, this is a bougie sign and, even if they’re a leftist, they’re going to try to create abundance in your life if they care about you. If they work together with you on a project, then they want everyone to make money and as much as possible. Capricorn risings are here to create wealth. That doesn’t have to happen in a capitalist way. They can be excellent farmer, plant dads, or just have a lot of stuff.

Capricorn risings want relationships to be full of material abundance, whether that is making and eating rich foods together, investing in really nice furniture in your shared house, buying something cute just because, or creating a beautiful garden together. Because these things take such a huge amount of time and energy, Capricorn risings don’t just share their voluptuous amount of love with just anyone. Before they let you in like that, they’re going to test you and make sure that you’re willing to invest an equal amount of care and attention into them. That’s the Scorpio in the eleventh house. Capricorn risings can seem a bit stringy with their acquaintances. They’re holding out for the people that they really love.

What’s interesting about this is that it can affect Capricorn risings in terms of their ability to craft long term plans. Often, Capricorn risings anticipate scarcity in the future even when they don’t in the present. When making long term plans, they can often plan for the worst case scenario while living their absolute best life in the moment.

GEMINI SIXTH HOUSE, SAGITTARIUS TWELFTH HOUSE: WHAT IF IT’S JUST TOO MUCH?

This placement can be a little tricky to handle. Gemini in the sixth house means that Capricorn risings are extremely good at making things run smoothly, at figuring out all the details and components of a project, that they might get a little nervous because they put a heavy mental strain on themselves, and that stress affects them right in the nerves. The Sagittarius in the twelfth house means that, because Capricorn risings zoom right in and look into the little details of whatever it is they’re working on, that they can be afraid of actually taking on the big hopes and dreams that they think about when everyone else goes home and the lights go out.

Sagittarius twelfth house makes Capricorn rising a dreamer. They want to change the world and they have the work ethic to do it. It’s just that, when they consider everything about what it takes to make something happen, whether that’s a one time event or even baking cookies, they can start to feel overwhelmed. It’s just so much work. Again, that question comes up: is this really worth it? Do I really care enough to put all of my energy into this?

This is where it comes back to the Cancer descendent. It’s so important for Capricorn risings to get support for what they take on, for them to feel that they’re not alone, because they feel the sheer immensity of the project at hand. And for them to feel really supported, they need to actually let other people take big roles in the project as well. Without that support, Capricorn risings can end up relegating themselves into some very small missions. This doesn’t suit their personality so they then start to resent those who simply start big without worrying why how every single little thing is going to get done.

Pluto in Capricorn (rx)

KEY TO SURVIVE PLUTONIAN TRANSITS & RETROGRADE

Pluto transits on average last long for 15 years. Uranus, Neptune & Pluto are generational planets than personal. They cause a generational effect. Pluto is a dark force. 8th House, ruler of the Scorpio. Wherever Pluto is placed in your transit chart, it will bring out the shadow side of that sign or house for you to address it.

Pluto retrograde makes us reflective.

Retrograde is an illusion in which planet moves backwards. Pluto retrograde wants you to heal your traumas and look your shadow side. It lasts for 5-6 months.

Retrograde Pluto asks you,

- do you know your darkest side?

- does intimacy scare you?

- what you can't or afraid to let go?

Pluto entered Capricorn in Nov. 26, 2008 and will remain until Jan. 21, 2024.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Authority, Education, Government are represented here. Pluto in Capricorn will dismantle the structure of these themes. 2020 Pluto was with Saturn & Jupiter in Capricorn that destructed the society. Now we are rebuilding it in a better way.

SIGNS & HOUSES AFFECTED BY PLUTO IN CAPRICORN (rx)

* Angular houses - 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th.

* Cardinal signs- Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn.

* Rising/ Ascendant in any of these cardinal placements.

PLUTO'S SURVIVAL KIT

* Let go of anything that you know you have outgrew.

* Embrace transformation. Don't control the situation around you.

* Introspection is the key to success here. Analyze and reconstruct yourself.

* Journal your fears. Don't be judgemental of your feelings.

* Practice self-love and patience. Anything that lasts, comes with time.

SAGITTARIUS RISING, GEMINI DESCENDING: EASY, BREAZY

This easy, breazy personality always looks for what’s most different and contrary to their usual way of thinking. Though Sagittarius risings seem easy going, the Gemini on their descendent means that they expect a certain amount of intellectual conflict, or at least contrast, when going about the world. Having a conversation is a thrilling experience with a Sagittarius rising because they’ll take you somewhere just to disagree with something that they said a moment earlier. They don’t want to be stuck in an intellectual rut.

Having a Jupiter ruled rising sign means that Sagittarius risings are operating out of certain set assumptions about the world and how it works. Having Gemini on the descendent means that they’re in the world to balance their ideological principles with new information. That’s why Sagittarius risings are so thirsty for people who they’ve never met before, places they’ve never been, and facts that they’re never considered. You think that a Sagittarius rising is happily studying history and they’re shock you by venturing into machine learning. You think that they’re heavily invested in chemistry and they’ll go and pursue a Ph.D in gender studies. Basically, they’ll always surprise you because they need to surprise themselves in order to feel alive.

CAPRICORN SECOND HOUSE, CANCER EIGHTH HOUSE: PARANOIA

A Saturn ruled second house is about limitations in self esteem. A lot of the time, Sagittarius risings are happy to be dancing around in the world created by their imagination and proving themselves to be intellectual giants over and over again but, when it comes down to actually doing the work, become frozen by a difficult complex over whether they’re actually good enough or not and about whether people will take them seriously. Sagittarius risings deal with not feeling good enough because the things that they’re trying to do are so ballsy and big.

The eighth house in Cancer reminds Sagittarius risings that, for them to feel important, they have to feel needed first. They’re out here trying to make ideas and things happen that no one has thought of yet, things they people don’t know they need yet, so Sagittarians often don’t feel needed by other people. Instead, they might feel like other people often don’t take the time to understand them or know just what the hell they’re talking about.

A lot of Sagittarius risings are paranoid because they’re stuck in a feedback loop in which they think that every single thing they think matters a great deal. It might help these people to remind themselves, then and again, that most things don’t matter unless it matters also to other people. The Capricorn second house means that Sagittarius’s most difficult struggle is defining their own reality. Cancer in the eighth house means defining the importance of feeling cared about goes a long way in cementing themselves in that reality.

AQUARIUS THIRD HOUSE, LEO NINTH HOUSE: I'M SPECIAL BECAUSE WE'RE ALL SPECIAL

Again, Sagittarius risings are not happy when relegated to one intellectual discipline. They need to be straddling two or three to still feel curious at all. Aquarius in the third house means that Sagittarius risings create new fields of thought by fusion two, disparate ones together. By thinking one thing one day and another the next, they forge third opinions.

The ninth house in Leo helps Sagittarius risings filter their mind. Leo is primarily a sign that seeks social applause or acceptance. Having it in the ninth house means that Sagittarius is not some lone genius type who is tinkering away in private but a public intellectual type who only wants to engage in theories that include everyone. They need their politics to speak to people first while remaining intellectually impressive. Sagittarius risings with planets in the third or ninth houses are tasked with the mission of making complex theories move through the world.

Mentally, Sagittarius risings are individuals first. They may be big readers or not. It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is they absorb, you can bet that they’re thought a lot about it. They might be youtubers who spin out theories about your favorite franchise or Marxists who apply Leninism to disability care. Whatever they are, they’re talking about things in ways that distinguish them away from the crowd but turning the crowd towards them.

PISCES FOURTH HOUSE, VIRGO TENTH HOUSE: INNER PURPOSE

Virgo on the tenth house makes Sagittarius risings a bit cynical. They’re always thinking so it makes sense that they’re not going to believe just anything that anyone says. Tell them anything that isn’t immediately plausible or common knowledge and they’ll counter with “prove it.” In fact, tell them something that is immediately plausible and they’ll probably be the first of your friends to tell you to fuck off. They live for challenging common assumptions, after all.

However, what grounds Sagittarius risings in life is a sense of transcendence. They’re not believing every and all theories so they’re also willing to work with any theory as long as it exists in the world. Even though Sagittarius risings don’t believe everything that they read, they’re propelled to keep going in life by their very deep and spiritual intuition. They use that intuition to guide them when contesting all the conflicting facts that are out there.

It’s also worth it to note that this combination of Virgo on the tenth, which can be about working against the physical body, and Pisces on the fourth, which is about trusting your emotional gut can also make some Sagittarius risings use substances as a crutch. When you have a Virgo tenth house, everything in the world is messy, chaotic and you’re going on invisible feelings trying to piece everything together. Drugs can heighten these feelings and make Sagittarius rising put this opposition between chaos and succinct spirituality to the extreme. Using substances in this way can give Sagittarius risings a short cut into this feeling of fighting the world with transcendence without actually doing the work. Ultimately, it kills their inner purpose because it commodifies it.

ARIES FIFTH HOUSE, LIBRA ELEVENTH HOUSE: THAT'S NOT MY SCENE

Sagittarius risings aren’t here to emulate the masters or carry on with things the way they’ve always been done. They have Aries in the fifth house of creativity. Aries, being the first sign, is the sign of originality. Sagittarius risings will only engage in creative endeavors when they’re absolutely positive that no one else has ever thought of them before. They’re punks but not in the way that your grandparents were.

Having Libra in the eleventh counterbalances that intuitive originality a little bit because Sagittarius risings are also ones to follow scenes. They look for movement and people out in the world that compliments their own aesthetic tendencies well. A Sagittarius won’t bother with you unless they’re sure that you’re people they want to associate with. This is because, when with the right group of people, whether that’s culturally or ideologically, Sagittarius is able to shine their brightest as an innovator. They can inspire you if you move with them but they won’t give you the time of their day if you’re not in alignment.

This is why Sagittarius talks so much about finding people with the right energy, the right vibe, the right flow. This usually isn’t elitism, by the way. Sagittarius isn’t looking someone up and down, trying to figure out their credentials. They’re literally weighing you based on how much you’re able to stoke their fire and if you’re able to make them excited about something that they’re been tinkering with. The right people, for Sagittarius, are people who bring out the primal part of their creativity.

TAURUS SIXTH HOUSE, SCORPIO TWELFTH HOUSE: OUT OF CONTROL

A Sagittarius’s secret is that, because they fear being controlled by other people so damn much, they actually exercise terrible control over their own surroundings. Listen to them talk and they’re obsessed with understanding just how much control external factors, like society or the government or their boss, has over them. See them in action and you’ll see how their pursuit of true liberation away from all types of social programming makes them scrutinize their every move. This is why Sagittarius often believe themselves to be completely out of control, even when they merticulously control every aspect of their lives.

Moreover, despite Sagittarius’ wild and otherworldly leaps in logic when they’re thinking up their dreams and making their theories, the actual work part of whatever it is they do comes quite slow. Sagittariuses are actually picky people (that Virgo tenth house, anyone?) and they’re not going to entertain anything that falls short of their precise vision. They’d rather spend the next three years working on that painting than let it look less than it should.

Having Scorpio and Taurus in the twelfth and sixth houses mean that Sagittarius risings value their mind and body the most. This is where meaning comes from. Because meaning is being released through exercise, through stretching of tendons and vocal chords, Sagittarius risings feel inspired when they challenge themselves physically. They understand that value sits within their subconscious and their body and, having Taurus in the sixth house, they’re not going to let a single person get it for cheap. No Sagittarius rising ever works for less than they think they can get. Scorpio in their house of value tells them that meaning is speculation. Taurus in the sixth tells them to make up a high number.

JUPITER: Jupiter is ruled by Sagittarius and Pisces. Jupiter is the planet of luck, good fortune, optimism. The placement you have in jupiter and its house it represents the area of life where you usually are lucky in. It also signifies knowledge, higher learning and confidence. Jupiter is the planet of expansion.

Jupiter in fire sign: You identify strongly with your opinions and beliefs.

Jupiter in water sign: Most able to attract luck trough intuition.

Jupiter in air signs: Mentally adventurous and always willing to learn.

Jupiter in earth signs: You're not at all a risk taker, you're more like a practical realist. Needs direction in everything they do.

SATURN: Saturn is like Jupiter, but upside down. It represents your karma, the area of life where you struggle. It reminds us of our responsabilities.It usually teach you a harsh lesson, as this is the planet of karma. Saturn is all about disappointments and suffering. It also can represent your father figure. This is also this thing, named Satun return, that is like a life crisis and happens when you are usually 27 to 29 years old and it lasts two to three years. It can be good and bad. Just know that this will turn your life upside down, and you will feel like your life is about to change completely. Saturn changes signs every 2 years and a half. At this point, a lot of people that were born in the same year as you most likely has the same Saturn sign, and struggle with the same things, but also look at your house. (for example, if your saturn is in the 4th house- home life is like a burden.).

URANUS: Uranus is all about change. We all know Uranus rules Aquarius, and we also know that Aquarians always have to make a change. This is more of a generation planet as it stays in the same sign for approximately seven years. Its placement in sign and house reveals where we must be unconventional and challenge norms. (for example, if you have Uranus in Aquarius, you are likely most interested in making a change related to technology, friendship, individuality.)

NEPTUNE: Neptune is considered a planet of inspiration, dreams, illusion, confusion. It rules spirituality. This planet moves very slow, as this is considered also a generation planet. Neptune's position (house) shows where dreams, psychic sensitivity come into play. (for example, if your Neptune is in your seventh house: In love, you most likely give more than you receive.) If someone's dominant planet is Neptune, they may appear as being naive.

SCORPIO RISING, TAURUS DESCENDING: YOU'RE MINE AND I'M YOURS

The Taurus on the descendent means that Scorpio risings are possessive. Taurus’ mantra is “I possess, I own.” What does Scorpio rising own? You. That is, not you specifically but the three or so friends that Scorpio rising regards as “their people.” If you’re a Scorpio rising’s people, they will defend you to the death but they will also refuse to let you leave their lives. You’re a part of them now.

The Taurus seventh house feed the Scorpio first house. Only when Scorpio rising finds real support in the people they have around them can they take the risks that they need to take in order to deconstruct the very lens of their own identity. Scorpio risings can be quite intense in regards to how they frame themselves, constantly self doubting or finding ideological fault with their perspective. They need their people to be loyal because they need support—not to be shut down. Scorpio risings shut themselves down enough. They need people who can build them back up.

SAGITTARIUS SECOND HOUSE, GEMINI EIGHTH HOUSE:

No one takes as big risks with money as a Scorpio rising. Because Scorpio is the sign of speculation, this makes sense. A Sagittarius second house just means that, in terms of investments, Scorpio is thinking: “go big or go home.”

And this applies to all investments, not just money ones. Scorpio risings anticipate death because they’re incredibly aware of how all time is investment. They get nervous about spending too much time on something because they already see it as precisely that: an expenditure of time. Scorpio risings tend to hoard all of their resources, whether that be time or money or talent, and apply it in one risky, bold move on a singular pursuit. They’re here to do their life’s work, not to put their eggs in multiple baskets and splinter themselves.

Gemini on the eight house is a mind that works like a calculator, when it comes to estimating expenditures. Scorpio risings don’t believe in private property, will give you special possessions and buy things for you, but they’ll never forget anything that they’ve given to you. It may appear, when they’re super passionate about something, that they’re working in a chaotic way and putting everything that they have on the line but they’re not. They’re aware of exactly what the risks are and what they have at stake. Again, remember the reason that they put everything on the line isn’t because they’re not thinking. It’s because they’re always thinking about the urgency of it all in the face of oncoming death.

CAPRICORN THIRD HOUSE, CANCER NINTH HOUSE: HOME IS OTHER PEOPLE

The Capricorn third house makes folks with Scorpio rising pretty strict in terms of letting their friend groups meet one another. They might have their work friends, their friends from a certain retreat, their friends from back home, and their friends from a sports activity. They will not talk about people from one group to a person from another group. When the people from all of these distinct and compartmentalized areas of life come together, such as during a birthday party, Scorpio risings can freak out a little. They’re nervous about whether they’ve spilled any secrets or information about themselves to one group that they don’t necessarily want to spill into the other groups.

Cancer, on the other hand, is where things come together. A Cancer ninth house means that, even when Scorpio rising keeps their social groups quite separate, the person they are and the perspective that they represent within the groups is quite consistent. This is because they absorb and reflect the attitude and qualities that they find from each group. Even when Scorpio risings keep different communities separate, they’re not changing themselves to fit into each group. Rather, they’re letting the politics of each group affect them deeply so that they represent a transforming but not socially morphing version of themselves.

Having Capricorn third house and Cancer ninth house can also mean that Scorpio risings are conservative in terms of how they make and keep friendships. They might not desire that many friends all of the time or they might keep old friends around forever. They understand that friends transform them deeply and, even if two people aren’t in one place or seeing one another, the time they spent together is permanent. Through communal relationships, Scorpio risings are looking for home. They’re looking to belong somewhere.

AQUARIUS FOURTH HOUSE, LEO TENTH HOUSE: IRONIC DISTANCING

The fixed sign cross puts Leo on the top of any Scorpio rising’s chart. This means that Scorpio rising project Leo qualities in the world. This Leo tenth house means that Scorpio risings represent themselves through artifice. Think Jack Smith or Andy Warhol—multiple layers of irony and camp and flamboyance. The Aquarius on the bottom of the chart means that the dramatic self presentation comes directly from a place of feeling quite alienated from the world. Fourth house is a foundational house—a fundamental house. An Aquarius fourth house is someone who feels fundamentally separate from the world.

A Leo tenth house is someone who wears a mask in the world all of the time. Under the mask, the Aquarius fourth house feels like there is no expression except dramatic expression, that all self expression emerges from artifice, and that displays of emotion distance oneself from their gut feelings.

However, Scorpio is a sign that deconstructs expression not because they’re antisocial but because they’re interested in the depth of feeling. They don’t trust sincerity because it’s too easy. They make every expression a huge project that they pour a huge amount of work into because that effort alone makes the expression more real. That’s the Saturn ruled fourth house, pushing them to make the effort. The reason why they put on a face all the time? They want you to earn their trust and they want you to want them to earn your trust as well.

PISCES FIFTH HOUSE, VIRGO ELEVENTH HOUSE: SELECTIVELY DEVOTED

With Virgo in the eleventh house, Scorpio risings are super picky when it comes to who is allowed to be their friend or not. However, with Pisces in the fifth house, once they decide that you’re their people then they will give everything to you.

Sometimes, Scorpios risings conflate friendships with relationships that need certain and specific boundaries while confusing romantic relationships with the type of boundless love that only their fifth house can profess. This is because, for Scorpio risings, having feelings for someone is the taking on of the immense burden of trust. This can mean that romance becomes a kind of trigger for Scorpio risings—a signal that there need be no boundaries here. It’s important for Scorpio risings to refrain from understanding romance as a thing which dissolves all boundaries.

This same kind of dynamic can affect the way that Scorpio risings approach life goals and fulfillment. Because they require that they devote themselves in heart and soul to what they work on, they can close themselves off. They can close doors before trying things out because they understand that they need to only select things that they can be 100% dedicated towards.

ARIES SIXTH HOUSE, LIBRA TWELFTH HOUSE: SECRETLY THINKING ABOUT YOU

All Scorpio risings really want to do is to get whatever it is that they want to do alone and worry about the social ramifications later, when they’re in a private corner and can bounce ideas around in their head without having to voice them out loud.

This means that the social consequences of what they do are actually incredibly concerning to them but, because of their image as a person who doesn’t give a fuck about you, they don’t want to admit that. The reason they don’t necessarily want to work with people is actually because they get so emotionally entangled in every relationship. If they’re going to work with someone, they’re going to end up constantly thinking about interactions with that person, how they’re being perceived, what is a fair amount of work for each person, and the power dynamics present. So, Scorpio risings are just more efficient when they can tuck themselves in a room and function alone.

So, don’t be offended if a Scorpio rising tells you that they can’t respond to you or take you along when running their errands. A different rising sign might see it as no big deal but a Scorpio rising won’t want to because they’re already imagining different scenarios where they have to accomodate your needs and lose out on their own time table. They probably have plans to go to the post office, the grocery store, and shop for bed sheets in a span of two hours and they planned it this way so that they can hang out with you later.

SUN: The sun is your identity. It is the essence that you shine out into the world. It represents the vital force that drives you to seek the highest expression of your true self. Your sun sign is how you answer the question “I am” and how you experience life and express your individuality. These sentiments might come to mind.It also represents the type of energy that you need to feel revitalized. For example, your sun sign’s element is helpful in understanding your self-expression tendencies and how you recharge. 

If your sun is an air sign:

- Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius: you love to express yourself intellectually and often recharge in social settings.

If your sun is a fire sign:

- Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius: you are motivated by inspirations and aspirations and recharge through physical activity and by pursuing your goals. 

If your sun is an earth sign:

- Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn: you are motivated by material needs and practicality and recharge through working with the physical world, being productive, and feeding your senses.

If your sun is a water sign: 

- Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces: you are motivated by deep emotional desires and recharge through emotional experiences (try being mindful with meditation) and intimate involvement with people.

 MOON: The moon is the soul behind your identity. It is the subconscious side of yourself that you typically keep hidden and is the driving force behind your emotional reactions.

For example, your moon sign’s element is helpful in understanding your inner world and how you typically react in emotional situations.

- Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius: you react to changing experiences with direct action and excitement. You feel most aligned with your inner self when expressing confidence, ditching the negative self-talk, and showing strength.  

If your moon is in an earth sign:

If your moon is a water sign:

- Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces: you react to changing experiences with sensitivity and emotion. You feel most aligned with your inner self when feelings are deeply involved. But don’t forget to prioritize your self-love!

RISING/ASCENDANT: Rising sign (also known as your Ascendant) is your social personality. It is how you dawn on people as it relates to the zodiac sign that was on the Eastern horizon when you were born. Your rising sign represents your physical body and outward style. It is the manifestation of both your inner and outer world. your rising sign’s element is helpful in understanding the type of energy that drives your physical body and overall approach to life. 

If your rising is in an air sign:

- Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius: you are mentally quick, inquisitive, friendly, and prefer to express yourself verbally. You often approach life with the desire to understand the meaning of what or whom you encounter, and that includes being intentional with your movement. 

If your rising is in a fire sign:

- Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius: you are action-oriented, confident, and often blunt. You often have great vitality and physical energy, especially when striving to make your mark in the world. 

If your rising is in an earth sign:

- Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn: you are matter-of-fact and tend to focus on the material world. You often have a steadfast approach to life that can be a grounding force (especially during stressful times) for many. 

If your rising is in a water sign:

- Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces: you are sensitive, empathetic, and easily influenced by your environment (say hello to more plants in your home). You often have an approach to life that is deeply rooted in your emotional body. 

MERCURY:

Mercury rules communication and the mind.

It represents the filter in which we communicate our thoughts and ideas. Mercury reflects your capacity to collect, sort, and communicate the knowledge you gain through your experiences and your senses. It reflects the way you see, hear, understand, and process information.

Mercury in air signs: Mercury here it is at home, which leans toward rational and logical thinking

Mercury in fire signs: Here mercury is quick, instinctive and inspirational.

Mercury in water signs: Gives the mind an intuitive and emotional filter.

Mercury in earth signs: Tends to be pragmatic and concrete, usually perfectionists.

VENUS: In astrology, Venus is the planet which rules our love style. The Zodiac Sign occupied by Venus at the time of our birth describes how we express our affection for others as well as the things in life we take the greatest pleasure in. In short, it shows how – and what – we love.

Venus in the earth signs: They show love in a tangible and practical way.

Venus in the water signs: Expresses love with sensitivity.

Venus in the fire signs: These signs show their love and affection warm and openly.

Venus in the air signs: Intellectual rapport is needed. Needs space.

MARS: In Astrology, Mars is the planet of physical energy.

It governs your energy outward-expressed, sex drive, animal instinct, your forcefulness and your aggression. It is associated with your desires and aspirations for emotional, physical, mental and spiritual things that stimulate activity.

Mars in fire signs: Passionate. When they're angry, those around them know it.

Mars in earth signs: Rarely aggresive, determined individuals.

Mars in air signs: They have many interests and drives.

LIBRA RISING, ARIES DESCENDING: SEEKING BAD GIRLS

Every stereotype about Libra talks about how it is conflict avoidant and about how the scales really just want to balance out all the issues and find an equilibrium. However! Libra risings have Aries on the descendent. Psych! Aries on the descendent people are actually looking for conflict and can often cause conflict just so that there is something to resolve. Libra risings are peacemakers. That means that they like to be in a situation in which peace has to be made. Libra risings love conflict.

The Libra on the ascendent, however, means that Libra risings don’t seem like people who like to cause conflict. Libra risings read as supremely reasonable and understanding people. They seem like people who are always able to take a step back and talk things over with a cool head. This type of person only emerges when there are hot headed issues circulating that everyone gets a little stirred up about.

Since Libra risings have Aries in the seventh house, they might look for partners who have issues that they can resolve. They might look for people who seem to always be in trouble—the bad boys and the bad girls. By seeking these types of images, Libra risings want to normalize or domesticate the bads. However, the bads don’t want to be fixed! What Libra risings have to learn is that not everyone wants their issues fixed and that trying to do so often brings out issues surrounding control. More on that in the fourth house/tenth house section.

SCORPIO SECOND HOUSE, TAURUS EIGHTH HOUSE: DON'T MOVE

Taurus and Scorpio are signs that relate to the Moon. These signs have to do with withholding, with needing, and with receiving. Taurus in the eighth house means that Libra risings might have a tendency to hold onto the emotional problems of other people. They might get attached to a situation that someone else is moving through and almost do not want that person to move on because moving on would mean that the person changes, that their dynamic changes, and that relationships are lost.

This means that, to feel safe, Libra rising needs certain things to stay consistent in relationships. They might need small routines, inside jokes, or pet names to stay the same so that, even when life changes people, there’s something that they come back to. When they don’t get this type of stability, Libra risings can compensate by trying to force themselves and their loved ones to remain in place, to keep everyone from moving on in their life, because they’re scared that people will grow away from them. Taurus, the sign of the Moon’s exaltation, here also can mean that Libra risings feel like they have to live up to a lot of emotional expectations in their relationships.

The Scorpio second house makes this tendency to hold onto the same social roles a bit complicated. The second house is the stuff that is forced onto you, whether you like it or not. Scorpio here means that Libra rising are forced to change whether they like it or not. They’re people who often feel like they’re reluctantly pushed along in life by outside circumstances. They can feel like they’re constantly forced to change more than they’re ready for and in ways that are more drastic than they want.

When Libra risings feel insecure, they can default to withholding their true emotions by playing the social roles that they’ve already learned to be safe repetitively. Scorpio second house means that they’ve being challenged to find security through the type of change that often feels like chaos by asserting their self worth and ability to grow. When they do that, Libra risings will be able to break those expectations that they thought they had to live up to and emerge strong and unafraid.

SAGITTARIUS THIRD HOUSE, GEMINI NINTH HOUSE: CHANGE MY MIND

Libra risings have opinions! They speak their mind! Having Sagittarius in the third house means that Libra risings aren’t here to circle around the truth and come back. They say what they think and they’re agonizingly honest about it.

The Gemini ninth house means that they’re not going to butter you up and just nod their heads and go along with whatever the loudest person in the room thinks. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is a cynical sign. Libra risings will often go against what the dominant position in the room is, just to cause a little havoc. When there’s disagreement, that’s when Libra risings get excited. Remember, Libra rising is not really a sign that looks for ultimate harmony or ultimate peace. It’s a sign that will often stir up disagreement or trouble just so that it has something to harmonize.

These Sagittarius and Gemini placements can mean that Libra risings don’t really make up their minds about anything. Even if they’re fiercely political people, they’re not about to line themselves up to any set political ideology. Instead, they’re always in a state of questioning. They prefer to get involved in multiple levels of discourse over choosing one thing and sticking to it always. Whatever it is that a Libra rising supports, whether that’s a movement or a party, they will always, always have some critiques that they bring to the table with them. They believe that the best way to support a cause is to critique it so that it improves.

CAPRICORN FOURTH HOUSE, CANCER TENTH HOUSE: HELD EMOTIONALLY HOSTAGE

The placement of Capricorn on the bottom of the chart is all about emerging from conflict. Again, Libra energy is not really about avoiding conflict. Capricorn is the sign where Mars exalts. Having Capricorn on the fourth house means that Libra risings emerge well when they face obstacles.

Cancer and Capricorn are really about control. The fourth and tenth houses always cross the signs that are on the horizon, which means that these signs represent the primary issues that the rising sign needs to work out. Cancer and Capricorn fourth and tenth houses mean that Libra risings are working through issues related to control.

Cancer on the tenth house means that Libra risings feel compelled to place themselves in roles where they must do a lot of caretaking of other people. They might feel like they always have to be that friend who’s there for people, the friend who cooks for everyone, the one who brings people together. This is a lot of work. Mars is in fall in Cancer because it’s labor that is often taken for granted and overlooked.

Capricorn on the fourth house means that Libra risings will never give as big of a shit as they seem.

And Libra risings care! They really do! However, Cancer on the top of the chart means that they might have been in situations where people used caretaking as a means of taking control over them, of holding them hostage emotionally. The Cancer and Capricorn fourth/tenth house challenge is about finding the means to care without feeding vocabularies around emotional manipulation. It’s about finding a realness to caring. This realness will require Libra risings to break a lot of their own assumptions around what a good, caring person looks like or does.

AQUARIUS FIFTH HOUSE, LEO ELEVENTH HOUSE: BAND OF MISFITS

Fifth house deals with pleasure and having Aquarius, the sign in which the Sun finds its detriment, in the fifth house makes Libra rising a little cold when it comes to pleasure. Libra risings are not folks who feel the need to scream in pleasure or demand it eagerly. Aquarius is a calculating sign. Libra risings need to earn their pleasure, work towards it, or plan it. Sometimes, they can find it hard to figure out what pleasure means at all. They can overthink it or feel like they’re not allowed the same pleasures as other people for whatever reason.

The Leo on the eleventh house means that Libra risings are able to find pleasure with people. Often, Libra risings need their sources of pleasure to be validated socially before they’re able to make sense of it and enjoy it. Aquarius fifth house means that pleasure will always seem like a rebellion to Libra risings. It always seems like something good people don’t do. When Libra risings find their people—the people who enjoy the same things that they do and accept the ways they find their pleasure—they’re able to have fun.

On the flip side, the Leo eleventh house means that a lot of the people who know Libra rising might think that this person is all about just letting loose and having fun when, in fact, that’s not actually the full story. Even though Libra risings do want acceptance because of the Leo eleventh house, their need for acceptance comes out of their strangeness. Libra risings are weird people who like weird things—that’s why they want to be accepted. They don’t seek to fit in because they want to please people, even if that might be part of it a little. They seek to fit in because they feel alienated on the regular and like no one will ever really understand them. Libra risings are looking to become social kings or queens. They’re looking for their own band of misfits.

PISCES SIXTH HOUSE, VIRGO TWELFTH HOUSE: WILL I EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BEGIN?

Virgo in the twelfth house is such a self critical placement and Libra risings can be perfectionists. A common trait of a person who has Virgo in the twelfth house and Pisces in the sixth is never starting on the projects that they want to do because they feel like the idea itself is never perfect enough to begin on. Libra risings might feel like they’re never ready to start doing the things that they’re meant to do and like they themselves are works that never begin to progress because they never really begin. Pisces wants big ideas but also perfect ideas. Pisces in the sixth house can mean that the work itself never feels good enough to start on. Virgo in the twelfth house is like a self critical whisper. It always reminds Libra rising of the ways they could be improving.

Pisces also happens to be the sign of Venus’ exaltation, which happens to be Libra rising’s chart ruler. Having Pisces in the sixth means that Libra risings achieve a lot of honor through their labor. Virgo, the sign of Venus’ fall, in the twelfth house means that Libra risings must overcome insecurities around what good labor or good work looks like to achieve those honors. They have to talk back to the critic’s voice in their head and figure out how to start something even if it’s not 100% there because, really, no project is ever 100% there, especially not in the beginning stages.

The angular houses are considered a very important aspect in your chart. What does those mean? Well.

TAKE A LOOK ON MY INSTAGRAM AS WELL: @astrologymaniac_

FIRST HOUSE- Represents your identity, and how others see you. This is both your outlook on the world and the first impression you give to others. People always see you as your rising sign the first time they see you. (for example if you're a leo rising you may come across as dramatic, confident, and you can always spot an leo rising by their GORGEOUS HAIR.) The traits that your ascendant represents are also the ones the qualities you like in yourself and want everyone to see.

SEVENTH HOUSE- The descendant represents the way you identity with others. This is the opposite of your ascendant, of course. The traits that this sign has is everything you aren't, but you may be surprised by the fact that your descendant is a part of who you are, actually. You see yourself as your ascendant, but your family and especially lovers see you as your descendant sign, and there's nothing wrong with that. (For example if your descendant is in Scorpio, people may see you as unstable, cruel, maybe manipulative.)

FOURTH HOUSE- Known as your IC, represents your roots, childhood and private life. This represents the nature of your family (your mother, precisely), the part of yourself that you keep private and you want no one to see. This can be considered as your second moon sign as well, as the fourth house is ruled by cancer and cancer is ruled by the moon. This house, the aspects to it, the sign is in can give you details about your childhood, and your home life. (For example if you are a leo IC, probably when you were a kid you were raised to believe you're very special and may have been either the oldest or the youngest).

TENTH HOUSE- Represents your career in life, your reputation, known as your MC. This is what you want to be known for and what you want to be seen as. It represents also your natural gifts and what you're good at. It describes your public life, career goals, and adulthood as well (As your IC is the opposite of your MC). This placement can tell you a bit about what would you be good at when it comes to career and it's not necessarily the place where you'll earn a lot of money, but where you'll feel fulfilled. (For example if you're an pisces mc, you are probably very creative and you'd be good as an artist and may like to work in private.)

**note: All those houses can be influenced by any kind of aspects.

VIRGO RISING, PISCES DESCENDING: A WORK IN PROCESS

Contrary to popular belief, Virgo is not such a clean sign. Virgo is very similar to Pisces, which are both signs that are about the process of doing something rather than the result. They’re signs that can feel like nothing is ever really finished or done. They’re not interested in results but in the journey.

Pisces in the seventh house can mean that Virgo rising tries hard to be anyone and everyone to too many people. They feel like they can camouflage themselves into being everyone’s dream even though they actually can’t. Virgo risings are very specific people. They can believe that, because they have so many different types of life experience, that they’re able to contort themselves into being exactly what someone else needs but they can’t. They can only be exactly who they already are.

Because is ruled by Mercury, the planet of life experience, Virgo risings will learn their own specificity as they get life experience. Priorities are harder for Virgo risings because priority setting is hard when there is crisis. Virgo risings can feel like they’re in crisis all of the time because nothing is done any of the time. They will be able to set priorities when they figure out what about themselves is already done, not changing anymore, and able to be relied on to stay the same even when it’s not ideal.

LIBRA SECOND HOUSE, ARIES EIGHTH HOUSE: IMAGINARY FRIENDS > REAL PEOPLE

Second and eighth houses tend to be harder houses since they are the accountability houses. Second house is what puts the first house in its place—Libra, or other people, put Virgo rising in its place. While Virgo risings are geniuses who piece together convoluted theories about everything under the sun, it can be harder for them to explain those theories to other people or find ways to implement their idealism. Depending on Venus and any planets in the second house, Virgo risings can find that any self esteem issues express themselves through feeling like they have to explain themselves to others.

Aries in the eighth house wants Virgo rising to make up their own minds about what they want to share with other people and what they don’t. Sometimes, Virgo risings can be people who don’t actually share that many ideas or feelings with other people but are constantly trying to redeem themselves or explain themselves to the imaginary projections of their friends that they have in their heads. Virgo risings can sound very sure in conversation but backtrack and rethink a lot of what was said once the conversation is over.

SCORPIO THIRD HOUSE, TAURUS NINTH HOUSE: RESEARCHERS

Scorpio in the third house is a researcher. Virgo risings are people who use information as protection. Do they have a roach problem, then they will find out everything about the species of roach that they have because having information about a problem makes them feel comforted. Likewise, if they like someone, they will google and find out everything that they can about that person.

Because Virgo risings are such powerful information gatherers, it also takes them a long time before they can make up their minds to have an opinion about something. Taurus in the ninth house is not jumping to conclusions about something that they just found out about. Instead, Taurus in the ninth house can take years before they form an opinion about anything.

Virgo risings are careful thinkers. When they speak on something, they’ve already invested years of thought into the things that they say. When they don’t know something, they ask a lot of questions. They’re such powerful thinkers that debating with one can make you feel stripped down, like they’re scrutinizing all of you.

SAGITTARIUS FOURTH HOUSE, GEMINI TENTH HOUSE: THEORIST

The tenth house is how we protect ourselves from the world and it’s also how we perceive the world. Virgo risings perceive the world as a simulating place that is full of information. They’re hyper aware that, no matter what the context, that there are things that they simply don’t know all around them. For Virgo rising, knowledge is power and knowledge is the ability to find information that no one else can find.

Sagittarius in the fourth house is about harvesting information from a place of inspiration. This fourth house is what helps Virgo rising focus their curiosity. It’s not that they’re gathering information about everything and anything—it’s that they’re gathering information as if they were on a purpose filled quest. Like any adventurer, they might take detours and shortcuts that lead them around the world chaotically and their movements can look messy to an outside observer. However, the route is always meaningful from within.

Sagittarius fourth house is a head in the clouds kind of placement. It’s a theorist’s placement. Virgo rising’s safe space is their imagination. However, Virgo rising can perceive the reality that was made before them (tenth house) as an overly rational place, with Gemini in the tenth house. Virgo rising feels pressure to explain their feats of imagination to the world, sometimes needing to formulate entire texts of theory to rationalize their gut hunches.

CAPRICORN FIFTH HOUSE, CANCER ELEVENTH HOUSE: PLEASURE IS PRODUCTIVE

It’s not that Virgo risings don’t have fun—it’s that, when they have fun, they’re usually in control. Virgo risings might not see the point of a release that culminates into any goal. Instead, they prefer to direct their joy and pleasure into constructive projects. Pleasure is not without purpose for a Virgo rising with Capricorn in the fifth house. Pleasure is something that constructs new worlds. Pleasure is productive. Likewise, work has to also have passion.

Virgo risings are also immensely intentional about who they allow to witness their pleasure. With Cancer in the eleventh house, they’re not going to share their pleasure with anyone and everyone. Part of the directing of pleasure is the choosing of who you play with. Cancer in the eleventh house is a placement that wants community to feel like family. They expect the groups that they’re in to be tight knit.

For those who don’t know Virgo rising well, they might experience them as being closed off. Only those who know Virgo rising well will know that their pleasure is powerful precisely because there is usually a sense of a result at the finish. Because joy creation is such a huge undertaking, Virgo rising doesn’t have time to share joy with too many people. And that’s okay.

AQUARIUS SIXTH HOUSE, LEO TWELFTH HOUSE: COLLABORATORS

With Aquarius in the sixth house, Virgo rising feels like their creativity is not realized unless they are able to work with other people. They want there to be people around them to hold them accountable and to strengthen their goals. Reality is other people and Virgo risings can feel like their ideas are not realized unless they are also seen and understood socially.

Because reality is social relations, Virgo risings need to go into their own space and heads to find their own creativity. When they are busy, they’re going to be thinking about other people’s needs, other people’s ideas, reading other people’s theories, getting people to work together, and seeing the world through the eyes of others. To figure out their own inspiration, Virgo rising needs time and space away from anyone else. This is Leo in the twelfth house.

Because Leo is in the twelfth house for a Virgo rising, they can sometimes feel that social change and collaboration is the ultimate challenge and purpose of life and put themselves on the back burner to work on developing the right kind of community. When their Leo is unhappy, so is their Aquarius. The less time Virgo rising spends by themselves, the less they actually care about their community. They need solo time so that they feel like their social spaces are also spaces that make them feel held.

LEO RISING, AQUARIUS DESCENDING: I’M STRONG ENOUGH TO LOVE YOU WITHOUT NEEDING YOU

Leo Risings are warm, spontaneous, and huggy people when you see them but, with Aquarius on the descendent, you might be surprised that you get to see less of this person who seems to move through the world with so much intimacy than you’d expect. That’s not because Leo risings don’t show up for people—they do. It’s because they only show up intentionally—when they think that their relationship with you is transformative for the world. Leo is a sign that’s about creating new futures and Leo risings want their relationships to collaborate with them in creating new futures.

The descendent can also, like the rising sign, be a placement that serves to protect the person from the world. It’s a defense mechanism. Leo risings can protect themselves by giving off an air that reads “I don’t really need you” and “I’m strong enough to exist without you.” Leo is about projecting strength. Aquarius in the seventh house means that Leo rising doesn’t want to approach their relationships from a place of need. They want relationships to be something that strengthens everyone—not just people in the relationship but everyone around them as well.

VIRGO SECOND HOUSE, PISCES EIGHTH HOUSE: I'M CAPABLE ENOUGH TO ALWAYS GIVE MORE

Pisces in the eighth house makes Leo risings extremely generous. These are people who will give and give and give. They want to give without boundaries and idealistically. They don’t have a problem with owing someone else or letting someone owe them. And Leo rising doesn’t just want to give to one other person or a few other people. They want to give to the world endlessly.

With Virgo in the second house, Leo risings strive to be someone who is in charge of their own shit. They want to be people who are capable of almost anything and can do difficult tasks perfectly. They might have some kind of idealized figure who seems incredibly capable and constantly measure themselves up against that person or idea. Being a Leo rising is a lot of work. Because they want to be in charge of themselves, they want to be able to control their stuff.

Sometimes, what this can mean is that Leo rising becomes a person who gives their time and energy in a way that people usually do when they feel stable themselves even when Leo rising does not feel stable themselves. Leo rising can be a person who seems like they’re thriving even when they’re not. They might want to be there for people even when it jeopardizes their own well being. It can be hard for Leo rising to remember that there are no perfect accountability systems and that it’s okay to let people down.

LIBRA THIRD HOUSE, ARIES NINTH HOUSE: STEAL THE POLITICS FROM THE INSTITUTION

Leo rising is not someone who likes to sit in an ivory tower and learn from all the books that they have gathered. They’re people who want to learn from conversations, from jokes, from memes, and from real relationships. With Libra in the third house, Leo risings need their real relationships to be learning places. They need their impact on their communities to be an impact that delivers justice where justice is due. Leo risings expect politics to be delivered on the level of ground communities.

A Mars ruled ninth house means that Leo risings see political struggles on a larger level to be power struggles. They might witness politics like a boxing match where powerful people duke it out without caring at all about the actual struggles of the people they represent. While Leo risings experience conversations as a place of learning, they experience politics as an ego battle.

Leo risings are not institutional people but they are political people. When they engage in politics, they do so with the understanding that politics is about power and not cooperation. They save their cooperation and their listening ear for grassroots stuff—for local politics without slogans.

SCORPIO FOURTH HOUSE, TAURUS TENTH HOUSE: CHANGE AT THE SPEED OF TRUST

Again, Leo rising is a sign that wants to birth future worlds into the present. You don’t get to do that while sustaining the status quo. You can only do that when you are willing to transform your present and your relationship to your past. With Scorpio in the fourth house, Leo risings are not people who are satisfied with the places where they come from. They are people who want to burn the places they come from down and build something new in its place.

Leo risings also have Taurus in the tenth house. The changes that Leo rising wants to see in their environment never seems to come fast enough. This is not because Leo rising is doing anything wrong but because the changes that they want to see are so big that it is not possible to move unless everyone is on board. Leo rising’s work is done slowly, must be built and nurtured, and must move at the speed of trust and not will.

This is the basic tension of a Leo rising—they seek to assert independence by transforming themselves but they can only transform themselves by transforming the world. No one is able to transform the world on their own. The changes that Leo rising is here to enact and witness is both personal and generational. Their life work can take a whole lifetime to do.

SAGITTARIUS FIFTH HOUSE, GEMINI ELEVENTH HOUSE: EXPECT UNEXPECTED THINGS

Leo is a really fun sign and Sagittarius in the fifth house of Leo rising is a fun placement. A fifth house ruled by Jupiter is a fifth house that wants to experiment and play. Leo risings want to try new things. They want to find new aesthetics and pleasures that don’t exist yet. In sex and fun, they’re adventurers who are always down to try things that no one has heard of before.

The eleventh house is who you want to play with. Gemini in the eleventh house wants to play with people who are able to challenge Leo rising’s existing value systems. Leo rising is not looking for people who reinforce them but for people who contrast them. Community is not supposed to be a place where everyone just agrees with each other. For Leo rising, it’s a place where difficult conversations can happen.

Leo rising needs pleasure to be a learning place. They need their relationships to be places where they are challenged. They need the people around them to tell it like it is. They need their pleasure to create new ways of being in the world that, to do that, they need people who can expect unexpected things with them.

CAPRICORN SIXTH HOUSE, CANCER TWELFTH HOUSE: HEALING IS WORK

The twelfth house is something that we might hide because it contradicts the parts of ourselves that other people can see. Leo risings are strong people and Cancer is about vulnerability. Cancer in the twelfth house of a strong person is someone who hides their fear and their anger because they want to be a positive role model. A lot of the time, Leo risings are people who don’t want to act out emotionally. They prefer to cry alone or leave to deal with their emotions on their own.

The sixth house is where the twelfth house becomes integrated into our lives. Wherever we have Capricorn in our charts, we have to reckon with the old. Leo risings are not just about strength—they’re about transforming vulnerability into strength by reckoning with inherited trauma. Because of this, Leo risings know and understand the cycles of trauma that they inherited from their families (this is also Scorpio in the fourth house). With Capricorn in the sixth house, Leo risings want their labor to confront history directly. They don’t need work that feels superficial. They need work that they can commit to and they need this work to set up networks of care that address the needs that they put away.
