THE TRUE
YOU
Many people who know little
more about astrology than their Sun Sign question its validity
because they do not identify with the attributes described under their
sign.
The Ascendantor
Rising Sign is the constellation on the eastern horizon
at the exact moment of birth. It may be the true you.
The Rising governs one's
outward projection.
The Tropical system of astrology,
most commonly practiced in the western world, says that the Rising rules
physiology and temperment.
The Vedic system of astrology,
most commonly practiced in India, says that the Rising governs the evolution
of the soul, and it is considered much more important than the Sun Sign,
which is merely ego identity.
The Uranian system of astrology,
which developed in Germany, claims that the Rising rules the environment,
or who we attract into our lives to perpetuate our development.
If a fire sign is rising,
one tends to have luxuriant hair and lots of vitality.
- Aries rising stays youthful,
even into senior years.
- Leo rising usually wears
a mane of hair, and has great dancer's legs.
- Sagittarius rising holds
to a strong spiritual belief system.
If an earth sign is rising
one tends to relate effectively to mundane responsibilities.

voice, tends to have great physical endurance despite a propensity
to gain weight, and great taste in expensive clothes and décor.

have a small compact body, is very fastidious, job-oriented and loves
pets.

lot, often has scant hair and a love of education.

sense of aesthetics, refined and dignified personality, and never

eyes! Often they look glassy, or are of a lighter color than one would
expect. They also have a strong sense of social responsibility.

naturally psychic and deep.

chublet because they love to eat. They also love to parent
or care for others.

professions.
