Rising Sign
 

What's your Rising Sign?

I'm a Pisces born between 8-10pm at night.

Sounds about right to me.
:evil:

Pisces..... Born at 2pm... so which do I pick? I guess the one before, since I was in the act of being born.

Your Rising Sign is Cancer

You are compassionate and kind - and the one who gives security.
And while you sometimes tire of it, people always turn to you for advice.

Emotions are your domain, and you use tend to use them for good.
But you've also been know to be very manipulative when you need to be.

You're quite loyal to those you love most - friends and family.
For everyone else, you tend take time to build up trust.

What exactly is the meaning of a "rising sign"? I did it anyway.

Scorpio, born between 2 and 4 am.

"Your Rising Sign is Libra

A total charmer, it's hard for people to say no to you.
Irresistable and attractive, you have no shortage of love interests.

Totally competitive, you tend to thrive in stressful enviroments.
A peaceful soul, you avoid conflict at almost all costs.

Sometimes you try too hard to please those around you.
But you have a great inner strength that helps you bounce back easily."

Not very descriptive of me. I would say only two of those lines are even remotely descriptive of me.

Virgo... Born at 5AM... Rising sign is Virgo

So not me... I've never been accused of being "well put-together and elegant"

I'm a Taurus born at 6:15AM. My rising sign is Gemini...

------
You often feel torn between two dominant personalities.
Sometimes you're adaptable and friendly; other times indecisive and unsure.

No matter what, you're the life of the party or conversation.
Witty and talkative, you entertain with your stories and gossip.

It's a bit difficult for you to finish what you start - jobs, friendships, relationships...
There's so much you want to try. You often bite off more than you can chew.

Wow, not even close.

I'm told your rising sign is somewhat more important that your "ordinary" sign. I'm cancer both ways. An uber-cancer, if you will. And so true.



I would find it absurd to put any credence in astrology .... until I looked around at all the people I know and found it beyond the likely realm of coincidence how many of their notable traits were related to their zodiac sign.



(Admittedly, I don't know anyone's rising sign ... so I can't judge the credibility of that influence. Apparently it has no bearing on the personality of Ghoulish Delight.)

I'm a Cancer born at 9:37am

Someone in the cast asked me what my Rising Sign was. I totally had no idea what she was talking about. She showed me the site. It's just for fun.
:)

I certainly can't disprove the notion, although my own experience leads me to a different conclusion. I have never been able to find a meaningful correlation. (For one thing, the personality descriptions on horoscopes aren't consistent from one astrologer to another, and there is so much wiggle room in any of them, it's a virtual certainly that everyone will fit at least a few adjectives for any sign, selected at random.)

I suspect that the real engine driving belief in astrology is that most common of rational pitfalls, Confirmation Bias. (We remember the hits and forget or dismiss the misses.) But, that could just be a trait of my skeptical Aries nature. (Are Aries supposed to be skeptics? I have no idea.)

I agree with the "it's all just in fun" attitude toward the zodiac, up to a point. I have run into people who actually make judgements and have biases and prejudices based on what sign others are, and that really drains the fun out of things very quickly. The last thing we all need is another excuse for passing judgements and making assumptions about others.

I don't know what time of day I was born, so I think I'll just scout all the rising signs until I find one that makes me out to be a real tiger. Grrrowl!;)

I'm an aries born at 7:30 pm. And I'm a lot like GC.


Your Rising Sign is Scorpio

You're so intense and passionate - you're on fire!
You want to be an angel or a devil... you can't decide which.

No wonder you seem moody and even a little dangerious.
You've got some major mystery going on, so work it!

Your personality is the strongest of all signs, making you hard to deal with.
While you're ruthless to your enemies, you're loyal to your one true love.


BTW, the Scorpion is one of the only creatures I truely fear.
