… that every person, regardless of race, creed, or color, should be REQUIRED to provide a full astrological chart to anyone, upon introduction. I don’t care if it’s the deli guy who makes you coffee. If you say, “Hey, what’s your name?” he MUST reply, “I’m Sayid, and I’m a Capricorn with Virgo rising.”
You could report him to the Astrology Police if he did not comply.
It would make things so much easier.
Hi, I´m Alessandra and I´m a Pisces with Pisces rising.
Hi to you! I’m Sheila, and I’m Sagitarrius with Virgo rising!
Triple Libra here; bucket-shaped chart.
What does it mean if I am “Leo with Viagra rising”?
Actually, here is mine from: http://www.alabe.com/freechart/
Rising Sign is in 28 Degrees Libra
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. “Peace and harmony at all costs” is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.
Sun is in 08 Degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.
Hi, I’m JessicaR and I’m a Virgo with Aquarius rising.
“Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn.”
Hi I’m Nicola. Libra with Capricorn rising. This stuff is scarily accurate.
Hi, I’m A: Capricorn Sun, Aries Rising.
May I request that a clause be added, legally requiring all to give out their moon sign upon enquiry? Apparently, the moon sign is how people feel & express emotion, which would be handy in certain situations.
Stevie – triple Libra, huh?? No wonder we get along so well!
A – hahahaha Yes, I can see people whipping out the rule book at awkward moments. “No, no, no – remember – you are REQUIRED to do this … so moon sign, please? Thank you.”
Hi, I’m Ceci, a Sagittarius with a Pisces rising! (and a Gemini moon, just in case). :)
Sagittarius, but I have no idea what sign I am “rising” or what that even means.
Emily – hahahaha
In my New World Order, everyone would have their rising sign on their birth certificate!
I’m Marti. I’m on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini (what a lucky girl am I) :-/ I have no idea what this “rising” business is all about. Or houses. What’s the deal?
Maybe someone with more astrological acumen can explain it. It has to do with what is going on astrologically at the very moment you are born. What planet is rising in the sky, and etc.
Anyone?
I just found this: http://www.alabe.com/freechart/ which does a chart. I still don’t understand some of it, but it seems I have Leo rising, sun Gemini, and moon Leo? But I’m going to say that the descriptions only sound about 50% like me. They do provide a picture of the chart though, which is interesting, even if I *still* don’t understand it.
I’m a Gemini with a Capricorn rising. What the hell does this mean???
hahaha I have no idea! But SOMEONE will.
I am a Pisces with Leo rising. Huh.
I have my review at work next week. I think should lead off with this information.
“Before we start, I think you should know…”
Tommy – ha! It is funny to imagine such an exchange happening in a business setting.
Oh and since A said we have to announce our moon signs, mine is Cancer. I still have no idea.
You explained it pretty well, Sheila, but there is no way I’d remember what any of that means if someone told me their rising sign.
I’d much prefer a reference from a licensed therapist upon meeting someone.
“Are you nuts? Ok, good. Do you have commitment issues? No? Good. How about an Oedipus complex?”
We should have a nutjob check list!
Ha!
“Hi, I’m Sheila, nice to meet you, I have a problem with rage… how about you?”
If you’re going to do this then I insist on a better sign. “The Crab”? I remember discovering the story behind this when I was a kid. It seems that Hercules was battling the Hydra and this stupid crab started nipping at him. Hercules stomped on the crab. End of story. I remember thinking, “You gotta be kidding me”. Besides, “crab” invokes no good images unless you are ordering from a menu.
On last night’s Hell’s Kitchen the remaining chefs had to cook King Crabs. Ginormous crabs. These things were outrageously large. I’m surprised that they aren’t officially named “Big-Ass Sea Monsters,” actually.
(“Once, they were men. Now, they are Land Crabs.”)
I got no idea what sign is rising or moon phases or whathaveyou, so I’ll just go to jail now. :(
I like De’s idea. The orbit of bodies of rock and gas millions of miles away might not actually be the cause of who I am today. Especially since I would find the person described in my work-up as kinda hard to live with. By that I mean how could I live with myself if I was that way?
I find it kinda hard to live with myself most of the time!
De: I had a moment of horror reading through because it described someone emotionally needy who needs to be the center of attention, with snobby/superiority complex tendencies and no attention span, but who also has nimble intelligence. That last part I liked. ;)
Marti: of course you’re snobby and superior…it’s all that nimble intelligence!!
How do you do? I’m A & I’m very impatient & a Pisces Moon.
I had my chart done once, and she explained these thusly:
The astro-signature is your Sun, Rising & Moon Signs.
Sun Sign: You are, as you know, a Capricorn, which simply means that the Sun was zooming through the constellation of Cap at the time of your birth. The Sun is our Core Persona, what we have to do in life lest we go gaga, how we choose to shine…
Rising Sign: The Rising Sign is the sign others are most likely to guess that we are. It rules appearance. It is akin to our shell & it’s so important as all the other scope energies have to express themselves through that Rising Sign aka Ascendant. It’s the face we show the world.
Moon Sign: The Moon represents our subjective reality, inner emotions & comfort zone. How you feel & express your emotions.
She loved Astrodienst: http://www.astro.com/ It will do up your whole chart for free & tell you all sorts of obscure things I don’t understand about your chart & self.
I’m late to this, but I’m Leo with Libra rising and a Leo moon.
I’m even later than Tracey… and thank you Marti for the site!
Melissa, Aquarius with Leo rising, and a Libra moon. (and while I admit I’m a pretty classic Aquarius, only part of the Leo and Libra descrptions here fit)
