Aries Rising Sign

The Rising Sign (or Ascendant) is the face that you show to the world. It tints your outward personality and directs the first impressions that others form about you. Your style, friendships and physical appearance are also influenced by the Rising Sign, from the clothes you choose to the people you click with.

You're quick on your feet, preferring to get into action rather than sit around and mull things over. For you, life is about "doing," and you feel most revved up when you're in the driver's seat. Competitive, you like to be viewed as the best at what you do — and also the first to do it. This makes you a born trendsetter, always 10 steps ahead of the rest of the world. The cameras adore you, and a career in the performing arts may suit you well. Your initial responses are strong and immediate. You may feel passionate waves of emotion that consume you. Anger in particular is your Achilles' heel. Work on your tendency to blow up quickly or take everything personally. Draw attention to your striking facial features instead of trying to minimize them. Wild, red-tinted "diva hair" (think: Chaka Khan) suits you to a tee. In general, you may be attracted to all things crimson, from clothes to cars to Chanel lipstick.
