It remains a mystery~ ♡

Today I got to go on one of our runs to more rural shelters to help relieve overcrowding there. We ended up bringing back 21 kittens and 10 dogs. So fun day. But this morning, while I was getting stuff together in preparation for the 90 minute drive…. This happened.

Excuse you Tiniest Opossum, but you are NOT allowed to escape through the front bars of the cat carrier we were housing you in. I’m going to put you back.

“NO!”

I am going to catch you and put you back and you have no say in this matter.

“NO!”

Catching you and putting you back now.

“NOOOOOO!”

Aaaand back you go. Let go of the purple towel and go in the cardboard box.

♈️ Aries Rising people have a focused, and motivated gaze. Their stare can sometimes look distant or glazed over, but behind this, there’s intention. There’s a certain level of innocence as well, with being the first sign of the zodiac. They often have big, glossy eyes, that might point more upwards.

♉️ Taurus Rising people often give off a very seductive look in their eyes. This comes from a place of determination to get what they want, but at the same time, there’s a gentleness. They often have more almond shaped eyes. They may have a lot of warm tones in or around their eyes, and long eyelashes.

♊️ Gemini Rising people give off a very curious look in their eyes. Very intense, with a passion for discovery. They want to learn as much as they can, always questioning. When they smile, it seems like their eyes twinkle. The color and shape of their eyes might often look like it changes, due to their mutability.

♋️ Cancer Rising people often give off a very nurturing, and childlike energy through their eyes. They make you feel comfortable and protected when you talk to them. They’ll never judge you, only listen. They often have more light colored eyes, or if not, cooler tones, and a rounder shape.

♌️ Leo Rising people have the brightest eyes out of the zodiac. Just like their ruling planet, the Sun, their eyes light up like a spotlight, shining down on themselves. It may seem like they’re the center of attention, even when they’re not. They often have warm toned, fuller eyes, with a lot of red and gold.

♍️ Virgo Rising people have a very inquisitive stare, almost like they’re trying to figure something out. This comes from their analytical nature. They might often seem lost in their own thoughts. Even when they’re still examining, they seem to already know the answer. Their eyebrows tend to stand out.

♎️ Libra Rising people have the most alluring gaze of the zodiac. They flirt with their eyes, sometimes without even realizing it, and their stare just seems to pull you in. They’re the biggest romantics, and they seem to stay young forever. Eye shape and color varies greatly, but the charming gaze is all the same.

♏️ Scorpio Rising people have very mysterious eyes. They can be incredibly hard to read on the surface through that steely stare. They often have darker tones in or around their eyes that point more downwards. Almost looking sad, even when they’re not. Their eyes might also sit closer to their nose bridge.

♐️ Sagittarius Rising people often give off a very insquisitive look in their eyes. They’re ready and excited for any adventure you throw at them. Their free-spirited nature might make it seem like their eyes are smiling, even when they’re not. Eye color varies, but there’s always a sparkle. Especially when their eyes are darker.

♑️ Capricorn Rising people have a very determined look in their eyes. They just seem like they know what they want, and they’re going to do everything they can to get it. This can sometimes come across as intimidating to people who just met them. They tend to have more narrow eyes, or if not, they squint them.

♒️ Aquarius Rising people have an “other-worldly” gaze in their eyes. They might sometimes wear glasses, or in one way or another, look smart. Like they could answer any question you throw at them. They tend to have more cat shaped eyes, with one sometimes being smaller, or more closed than the other.
