pathology of the rising signs - what we seek out and attract
aries rising - always seeking out the dark side in people, hidden pain, suppressed aggression. they’re a bit like emotional vampires. they get confused others don’t wear their anger on their sleeves and are always sniffing to see where they hide it cuz what they really fear is fake politeness and passive aggression that poisons you slowly. what they need to do is realize is that not being 100% authentic and in touch with all of the aspects of your personality doesn’t necessary mean you’re set for demise and sometimes it’s okay to just…chill and stop oozing intensity. and this doesn’t mean you’re FAKE. attracts situations in which there is (opportunity for) abuse of power, but not in an obvious way and in which they have to make a conscious choice whether they will tolerate it or not.
taurus rising - always seeking the antagonist in others and trying to change people so they can be Good & Proper but what they really need to do is accept they are the ones that need changing sometimes and that the strongest life forms are the ones that adapt to the environment. attracts events and people that seem to be constantly testing their ability to resist and stand their ground. they may often get a feeling that the outside world is just not letting them be in peace and chill like they want to.
gemini rising - always seeking out what they can’t have, for one reason or another. what they really need to do is realize life can get quite bothersome and you may feel restless and chronically dissatisfied if you keep always running after what you can’t get, regardless whether that’s about people or goals or things. you’re not missing out on things. what’s obtainable is not boring and suffocating. get a grip bro. attracts emotionally messy situations and people that keep finding their way back into their life over and over again.
cancer rising - always seeking stability in others but what they really need is to develop their own stability and to build an inner fortress which doesn’t shake when they’re overtaken by Moods tm. attracts circumstances that feel familiar and like home and people that appear to be very similar to them but often hold some sort of hidden fundamental difference that causes struggles and forces the cancer risings out of their comfort zone.
leo rising - always seeking out avoidant people who seem to be out of touch with their emotions. they may be stuck in a loop where they don’t get the emotional reciprocation they need from people and it leaves them feeling worthless or underappreciated. what they need to do is develop the capacity to detach themselves from their emotions and to understand that rational responses can be just as authentic as the emotionally driven ones. attracts situations where they have to set aside their personal problems and to tend to other people’s business, supporting them and helping them see their situation from the point of an outside observer.
virgo rising - always seeking out extremely troubled individuals that need ‘fixing’ and help. virgo risings are afraid of their own mess and are trying to feel as if they’re putting it in order by finding people who need help more than they do (according to their weird criteria) and trying to save them. what they should really do is face their problems instead of deeming them “less deserving of handling than the problems of others” and ask for help when they can’t help themselves. and ACCEPT the help. they attract events and people that mirror their unresolved issues but in a more urgent way so they are forced to turn their eyes to their own problems in order to help the other.
libra rising - always seeking out people who start confrontations easily and don’t back down from a conflict. it’s very rare for me to see a libra rising whose close ppl don’t have personal planets in fire. they CRAVE the scandals and the reactivity. what they really need to do is stop trying to please everyone, like, for real. stop keeping up the friendly and charming facade just so you can be the socialite you want to be. being fake af doesn’t delete the sides of you you’re afraid others might reject and they WILL find a way out - and boy, this can get real dark real fast. attracts people and events that enable them to express the suppressed parts of themselves they see as dangerous, but to express them in a hurtful and bad way.
scorpio rising - always seeking for a safe space in people. they want a person that will always be there for them and will manage to make them feel comfortable and as if they really inhabit their body, they want someone to crawl to, someone that always has the emotional space for them. what they really need in order to not keep getting their heart broken and having their entire life wrecked by that is to develop an inner safer space. a mental compartment that they enter like a room and close the door to all the emotional turmoil and existential repulsion they often go through. honey…y'all need inner peace not someone with a soothing voice. attracts the occult - i mean, everyone is like “scorpio risings are soo into occultism” but truth is the occult is into them, not the other way around. they can’t close themselves to dark forces manifesting in their life. they keep encountering bizarre things and people to the point it may seem unreal to an outside observer and the bizarre stuff always has a dark tint to it, there’s something twisted about it.
sagittarius rising - always seeking out people who switch between being hot & cold frequently. they’re afraid of being exposed to a stable behavior cuz it feels suffocating to them and as if they’ve “settled down”, they’ve run out of opportunities and they won’t have any more room for expansion. it’s like there’s nothing more to learn and they know everything now, which can be quite depressing for them. what they need to do is accept their own polarities and allow themselves to change frequently and abruptly. finding a healthy and productive outlet for their desire for new things can be life-saving for them. attracts people and circumstances that demand them to be the stable one.
capricorn rising - always seeking for an emotional mess in others. cap risings can’t deal with their own emotional chaos and seek out those who are more obviously struggling with confusing feelings and unstructured experiences. that way they feel a bit safer about expressing their own raging mess. what they really need to do is make peace with their own vulnerability and stop trying to live it out only through being the safe, stable spot for others that need to express their emotional chaos. they attract circumstances that feel as if they’re set on breaking them. honestly, they have so much difficult shit happening in their lives it’s like..wtf?!? the sign which rules the nadir (the lowest point of the chart, the 4th house) is in their 7th house, so basically they will attract many low points in their life.
aquarius rising - always seeking drama, explosive emotions and selfish desires in others but what they really need to do is accept they don’t always think in terms of “community” and “the people”, they’re not some fucking omnipresent being that just sees everyone from above and wants to grant them what they need, they’re just a human being that sometimes needs to get what they want even if it’s selfish and shows they’re not a robot with functions but without feelings. it’s okay, bro, you have DESIRES. you’re human. get over it. just like scorpio rising, they attract weird shit in their life but it lacks the dark edge. it’s more like…strange coincidences or insight into unusual events and relationships. they get to see the things that usually remain unseen. i feel like amelie poulain is an aqua rising, prolly a gemini sun/aqua rising like me.
pisces rising - always wants other people to take responsibility for everything. pisces placements, especially moon and rising, are extremely aware of the Whole and how every action has severe repercussions that may not be visible to everyone. this is why they are very wary of doing anything. they’re not exactly lazy, they’re just afraid to take responsibility for everything that happens cuz of them - cuz it may be painful and they’re not ready to understand they may cause others pain. ppl with pisces rising looks for someone who can push them, sometimes literally force them to do things so they can take the blame for whatever occurs. what they need to do is realize being alive and free means taking responsibility of yourself and that by trying to save themselves from being responsible for hurting someone they’re also ruining the possibility to be responsible for someone’s happiness. they attract events and people that are pushing them to take a position of leadership and in which others count on their decisions.
