The best way to learn is trhough practice and we can practice having some fun!!!

I will write one of Linda's description of a rising from her Realtionship's book, then first one to recognize the sign of the rising gets to post the next description.

Only the persons posting the description can look at the book. The ones answering can't take a peek!!!

Description # 1

There is no point in mincing words: This man is strong-willed. He's turbulent and volatile. He's also commanding and astute. He can excel in business where a take control personality is needed. His intensity is shown in his line of work.
And more than anything else willpower is his key word. Detonating bombs won't scare him. Losing the object of his affections however, is frightnening and can lead to melancholy, brooding and conpulsive, obsessive behavior.

What sign is this rising???

Tish

I have an unfair advantage with this one, Tish so I'll hold back and give someone else a chance ...

Love,
Greg

Hi Greg, you'll tell me later why....



Tish

Sounds like Scorpio Rising to me. But, the part about "Losing the object of his affections" being frightening and leading to melancholy sounded more like a Cancerian. I think I'll stick with Scorpio though.

Yes Suchi!!! is Scorpio rising!!!

Maybe the fact that by loosing the object of afection is for him like loosing control over things????

Now is your turn of posting a description!!!!

Tish

Well, let's just admit it, loosing the person you love just plain sucks, no matter what sign you are. It's just that we water signs have a tougher time dealing with it, I guess.

O.K. Here's a description from the rising signs for women section :

Men who need to dominate or manipulate had better steer clear. She has only icy contempt for such attempts at control. She requires equal billing in her relationships. She's capable in many fields but will always manage to perform even the most mundane chores in some sort of creative, dramatic fashion. She prides herself on being a breed apart.

I think I do know, but I will let others participate!!!

(at least I'll wait for a few hours)

Tish

lol. O.K. I'll go sleep while you wait. If possible I'll check back in the morning and tell who got it right.

Sweet dreams Suchi!!!

Is this lady Leo Rising?

Yes, she is, Divinia Your turn!

Good Morning, Tish

Oops! Which book are these descriptions coming from? I was so excited when I realized that it *had to be* Leo Rising that I guess I should have read the posts more closely.

They come from Linda's Relationship Signs.

Good Morning Suchi!!!

Hi Divinia, if you don't have the book, PM with the rising you want to post and I will type it and send it through PM, so you can post it ...

Tish

Thanks to the lovely and gracious Tish, here is the next rising sign description:

Quote:

---

He is shy, even when he runs for mayor. Fact is he is very sensitive to criticism and self-conscious in public situations. Why does he push himself? Because he must show everyone he can do anything. Accomplishment is what he breathes for. Nothing else matters if he cannot prove to himself that he can scale the great heights. Nothing is too great a price to achieve and acquire.

---

I'm married to this rising sign! Good luck!

I'm guessing....

But is is Capricorn Rising? I haven't read the book in a long while, so I could be wrong.

You got it, Sister! Way to go!

Tag, you're it!

Alright...

How about an ode to one of my best friends from the past...

Scattered energies and her enthusiasm for life override her desire to bake you a carrot cake or start the war on dust balls. Here is the woman of enthusiasm, the bubbles in the champagne of life. If I had to pick the most outstanding characteristic of this rising sign I would say it is her love of living life to the fullest.

Go to it!!!

Hi Carrie,

She's Sagittarius Rising.

My youngest has Sag. Rising and fits her almost perfectly!!

Yup yup!!!

Your turn!!!

Next Rising...

She will endure many hardships, heartbreaks, and crises, but they'll take their toll. She believes in ideals and dreams, and dreams can do shatter in the face of reality. She'll stand by you when you loose your job o ryour car, but not when you loose your self-respect. The enormity of her faith in you is what you find so enduring in the beginning and so crushing in the end.

Hmm...is that really from Relationship Signs? It sounds a bit like what Linda wrote in the Scorpio chapter of Sun Signs. So, I'm guessing maybe it is Scorpio rising again. If not it must be an Earth sign.

I havent read Realtionship Signs for a while so this may not be correct but I think she is

Virgo rising ???

Are we allowed 2 guesses Cristina? My second guess would be Pisces rising with moon in virgo or vice versa.

Suchi is close with the water part in Scorpio, but....

Ani got it on her second guess... Pisces Rising!!

Your turn Ani...

lol. The dreams and ideals part did make me stop and wonder if it was Pisces, but the loss of self-respect bit sounded more Scorpio than Pisces. If I had to pick one sign that would put up with a guy even after he looses self-respect, I'd pick Pisces.

Pisces are is idealistic Suchi. They'll lose/give away everything - money, house, loved one - everything except their self respect. Because one cannot be idealistic without self respect. To be an idealist takes a lot of courage. It is easier being a conformist. Hence, a strong belief in self that's never given up

Okay, i'll get back with a description. gimme 10 minutes.

Here it is........

She write haiku, reads Prevention, rides bicycles and ...idealises her mate. Lucky for you even though you mess up her kitchen, botch the roofing and hum off key, she thinks you are a wonderful human being. She won't commit to "you're adorable" (only children are), she won't admire your buns but she'll appreciate that you work out, take great care in watching your blood sugar levels, typing your exam papers and knitting funny things for your mother. She'll leave you for someone else if you don't love and appreciate her in return.

Cancer rising!

No suchi

Then it has to be Virgo Rising

Suchi, you beat me to it!!! I was going to say Virgo Rising too

lol. That was my first guess, actually. But the part about the children and mother and idealising the mate threw me off. Plus, I wasn't sure if a Virgo would be willing to overlook sloppy work even if she is in love

Hehe, my oldest is a Virgo, and she is constantly picking up after her husband and it doesn't bother her cause he is very appreciative of her, sings to her and always surprises her with flowers. Though she does complain to me and it does drive her crazy, but she doesn't mind as long as she see a good reason why she had to pick-up after. About the mother part, true enough, though we have our disagreements (big), when any of her friends and even her boyfriend when she was younger said anything bad about me to agree with her, she tells them off and walk away from them. She said only she can anything to criticize me, but not her friends and anyone else, that was a different story. My youngest has a Virgo Moon, she is quite the same way. She just loves her friends when they get close to me and gets all tickled when they call me Mom.

Ooops Ani!

This is news to me. Now I wish I were married to my grandma rather than being her granddaughter

Yes Suchi, it is Virgo Rising so now its your turn.

Cristina . About the criticising bit, well, the logic is that since I am close to XYZ, I can criticise XYZ but not any other Tom, Dick, Harry

oh and Suchi, ever considered the possibility of your grandma being a Leo and liking to lord over all she surveys?

Yes, but it's her virgo stellium that shows up most often. We did get a sample of the Leo "Everyone must do as I say" attitude. Yesterday one of our distant relatives was getting married. It was in one of the central suburbs and in the evening. So, my mom said that it would be better if my uncle accompanied my granny instead of her. But, my uncle refused to go because he had some other work. So, my granny ended up staying home. Now I don't know what was so important about this wedding, because I don't even know who was getting married. But, she got all pouty and refused to talk to anybody other than me (only when she needed my help, that is ) and the bad mood is still in full force. She's throwing the plastic water bottles on the kitchen floor right this minute. (She's supposed to be cleaning the kitchen table ) lol. She really acts like a child sometimes and on rare occasions it's cute

O.K. Here's the next description:

Let me give two examples of distorted honour. Upon meeting the woman of his dreams, one _____ Rising man discovered that the woman had a child from another marriage. Out of respect for the child's loss of her father he refused to visit when the child was around. Only after he made his commitment to the woman in marriage did he establish a relationship with the daughter. His reasoning: He did not want the child to experience the loss of another father figure and wanted to make sure of his position first...

Libra Rising right?

Capricorn Rising.

where's suchi disappeared? I think proxy is right.

Actually, Carrie is right! It's Libra Rising. Take it away, Carrie

Actually, hehehe, the Aries girl with the imagination got duped by the Libra false pride perceived honor system and didn't look deeper into the Capricorn soul.
Aries girls don't know nuttin' about men, except a compelling desire to be one and they let their kids run wild, as to let nature raise them, to toughen them up.

The Libra man would actually sneak in and become one of the kids, to have a love affair.
Then when the Aries got serious, (fat change of that so it's a good risk), he would do the Libra "It's not you, it's me" and "Lets just be friends" speech.
He would still come around once in a while to play with the kids though.

Can do Suchie!!!

Doesn't pay attention, yet she notices everything. Feminine wiles and fits of passion are foreign to her. If she heads off for an exotic adventure you may not hear from her until she returns. She rarely suffers from homesickness or loneliness.

Try try again Dar...

Carrie ... Saggie Rising?

Darwin, Libra false pride perceived honor system

Yes, try, try again, D I know this particular example about the kid sounds a bit like Cappy but if I'd included the the second example she gave (and by the way, I don't think the Rising signs were done by the Aries girl Linda ) then it would have sounded more libran. It was about a guy feeling responsible for his past mistresses even when they had settled down. He felt it was his obligation to make sure they were comfortable. That is why she said twisted honour

And if it's not Saggy rising (which I think it is) then it sounds a bit like Aqua.

I'd go with the Aqua rising too Suchi.

Ding ding ding!!!

It's Aqua on the rise!!!

O.K. A little snippet :

Quote:

---

She doesn't sparkle or shine; she glows. She isn't action, but reaction. She doesn't adorn, but she clings. She's deja vu and warm memories.

Pisces Rising
*bats eye lashes*

I have Pisces Rising... do I bat my eyes?

Not exactly what I was thinking about.

I found the Saggy and Aqua Risings. (See Attachment)
One is named Purplinea and the other is Suchiqua.
...and they never, never sleep.




Libra Rising

That is what I call faster than the speed of light!!
Must have landed Earth with a thud!
ROFLMA Fuuunnny!!

I'm sorry, I didn't get the joke

BTW Darwin, try, try again

What joke?

This is serous stuff and I think you guys are breaking the rules.



Cancer Rising?
*Smiles from ear to ear*

Loved the Aqua rising Darwin, is she the green one???

Ok, who's turn is it to post???

Hi Tish!

No one has answered Suchi's latest Clue from page 1 yet,
unless Darwin's answer "Cancer Rising" is OK from Suchi.

That one is confusing me, if it's not Pisces or Libra Rising, what is it?
I give up, Darwin, I'm going to look at the books, and I'm not answering ,
so I'm disqualified on this one in advance!

Suchi, I got beaten twice in posting speed for Pisces and Libra Risings

Hi Tish,

A couple of pix for you.

Aqua risings lead a double.
They seem to be hang with excentric friends amoungst collorful settings.... but then ...

the NEED for SPEED comes back!

lol. Oh, Aqua rising is friends with a cute teddy lol. Liked the car on the "proxy" moon pic too

O.K. You got it right this time, Darwin. I'm surprised this confused you guys so much. I thought the words "cling" and "memories" would shout "Cancer rising"!

Hi Suchie,

I think you were right. These writings don't ring of LG?
Hmmm, maybe Stevie wrote it?

Quote:

---

She won't commit ...
She won't admire ...

Her passion commingles with devotion and unity.
Not realizing how difficult and complex relationships can become, her expectations are not easily met.

---

giggle, giggle

Okay, I know this one ... Virgo Rising!

Correct!

Ammm, you forgot something, Cris.

What did I forget?

I'll post the next one in a bit.

Next Rising Clue...

He is always on the way to or from something else.
Relationships with this man is always punctuated with upheaval.
He takes delight in the universe. He always have a cause.
Get crazy with him and even when it's over you can take the lessons in living with you.

Yes. I think only the aspect descriptions are by Linda and the rest was written by another astrologer, Carolyn Reynolds.

lol. That light shining on your head looks really bizarre in the miniature form of your picture, D. I was just reading the thread about aliens and I switched to this one and saw your picture and got a scare lol. Just kidding

hmm....Sigh. Another Saggy/Aqua case, Crissie? I can't pick between the two.

Hi Suchi,

Neither one... not Saggy, not Aqua, try again.

Aries rising?

Sorry no, not Aries Rising.

Gemini? Pisces? *Tearing hair out*

Darwin!!!

I loved the pictures, the aqua rising girl enjoys being with the teddy bear, but just for a while, because then she has the urge to drive fast!!!!

Hi Cristina,

Sounds like my boyfriend....
"He is always on the way to or from something..."
The "he always has a cause" sounds more like Aqua, but since it is not, I am thinking on

Gemini rising....?????

Tish

Nice picture Tish! You look Great!!

Hey Darwin, nice to see you! You're smiling!


Tish, it's Gemini Rising you got it right on the nose!!
Suchi you did too on your 3rd guess.
... now how do we handle this to be fair who gets to give the clue...

Time for Libra to do her balancing act of fairness hehehe

Suchi had 4 guesses, 3rd was Gemini Rising, questioned it, then guessed Pisces R. as her 4th answer. Now my perception on this is that the 4th answer replaces her 3rd answer. So she is not sure of the 3rd answer. Hmmm...

Tish answered with her first guess and made it definite.

~ Conclusion: Tish gets to give the next clue. Your turn Tish! ~

Sorry Suchi if Pisces was the 4th answer,
then you would be the one giving the clue.

Well, I guess it looks that way Though I was more sure of Gemini than Pisces. I just didn't have the patience or time to wait for you to reply and then make another guess if it turned out wrong. Serves me right for trying two options at once! lol.

Thanks Cristina!!!

Ok, here it goes:

Regardless of his humble beginnings or his obviouos charm upon meeting you, if you don't meet his standars of style, he won't embark upon a seriuos relationship with you. He may live with you, promise you something more in the future, and meet your family, yet he will be saving himself for Mrs. Right.

Tish

P.S Did my picture changed??? I still see the same one.

Libra rising.

No, Suchi... try again...

I got it!

Male Taurus Rising.

Hmmm, good question.
I don't see the pix when I'm logged on so the download is faster but if someone just looking in, say from the Russian Mafia ,
gets to see all the pixs.
The default should be no pix until you are logged on and set the option. IMNSHO

Yes darwin, you're correct.... it is your turn now...

This male Taurus rising can't be with a woman who will embarrass him in public, and he will prefer a widow over a divorced...

I guess he wouldn't like an Aqua rising...

Tish

IMNSHO????

In My Not So Humble Opinion (which is the only kind I have. )

ok, next rising. Ready, Set, , , , , GO!

She quite simple exsists for Love.

tick, tick, tick,

Libra Rising?

Are you sure?

Maybe not...
well maybe it's... of course I'm sure.

Just checking.

Ok, your turn.

Trying to trick me huh! Uhuh!

He has charm.
He has an answer for everything.
He admires two career families.
He is ... glamour, drama, passion excitement and sweetness
His relentless pursuit of excellence extends to the selection of a mate.

Libra/Cancer.

History repeats itself

Well Such, double answers won't do.

You're going to have to show more skin to compete with this crowd.

There goes History... No, Try Again

Leo Rising?

Yes, I think it's Leo rising too though I don't understand why a leo rising would like double-income families. That is why I switched to Cancer (and perhaps Libra - "going dutch"). I shouldn't overanalyse, I guess

lol, Darwin. The picture shows a nude, pole-dancing puppy. How much more skin can you get to see than that?

Carrie, you've got it! Leo Rising!

Your turn!

'k.

After all, he would really rather be experiencing something life altering than cheering with the guys over Monday Night Football. HIs mind is always searching for something more; oftentimes his body is too. Elusive women haunt him sexually. Something within his depths keeps him from open pursuit when his feelings are involved.

Pisces Rising.

Yup yup!!!

I know of one tough guy with boundless dreams who was broke on Christmas. He gave his wife a record, "You Needed Me" by Anne Murray. They both cried and mushed it up. Then she went back to tap dancing in the kitchen. You can fall into the pit with him, but a good coach always knows when to pick up the pace.

Can we please have a list of signs that have already been done? I seem to have lost track of them and don't want to repeat the ones that have already been done.

Only one guess per contestant as we approach the grand finale.

Hey, waaaaaiiiiittt a minute here ... you're not suppose to say ...
"Yes proxymoon, you are correct and now it is your turn."
...to your own answer!! You're suppose to wait for Suchi to say that!!!

Sorry, I learned that from the Sec. of Defence.

OK,
Cris looses one turn for trying to change the rules again.

Careful now, 3 strikes and your out.

Gemini Rising. My turn!

I'm back playing....

Bad proxy! *wagging finger*

But, he was right anyways It is Aries rising. Thanks for the list, D.

And now it's your turn Cristina, cause I'm sure it's gemini rising.

Thanks Suchi. Proxy's taking forever to let me know that I got it right.

...so "what did the rabbit said to the snail?"

Next clue...

While the rest of the world finds the laborous to be tedious and wants to put off such task for as long a humanly possible, for him, this is the stuff of which dreams are made. Not that he is boring. He has a lot more to say than he is given credit for in most cases. Aggressive, liberated women won't usually gain his admiration.

Virgo rising man??? Only a Virgo would find tediuos tasks a dream come true....

Tish

You got it Right, Tish!

Your Turn.

OK, here it is...

He has episodes where his actions are so unpredictable that it's as though he wants to be bad. This cool and impersonal approach to all matters, including romance, leaves his aquaintances bewildered from time to time, which is the way he wants it. He provides fascination, something many men are unable to spark in their relatinships.

Tish

Aqua Rising.

Yes!!!!

Now it's your turn!!!

She may or may not be the prettiest, men seldom notice. Refusing to market herself, she won't tell you she has an MBA, is also an interior decorator, and is one of the wittiest people you'll ever meet. Here is the woman of depth. Shallow men repel her. Aimless, unsteady men leave her chilled to the bone.

I can't bite my tongue any longer....

Capricorn rising?????

Tish

lol. Please don't bite your tongue You're right. It is Capricorn rising.

Do you think we continue playing, or move on to another game?

Looks like it's only you and me....

Tish

Ah, okay, well, I must stop lurking and come out in the open Tish and tell you that it is not just you and suchi on this therad here .
The thing is, the rules of this game are that no one, except the person posting the description, should read the book (take a peek ) and since i'd already given a once-over to all the descriptions when it was my turn to post (a couple of posts back) I didnt want to butt in and proffer my answers lest I break the rules

But yes, I guess we've covered almost all the signs now. You have any other interesting game up your sleeve? Your threads are always so interesting

Tish, could you please list the description for Virgo Rising male before we move on? I'd like a little insight into my son. Thanks!

Ani * dear, I'm glad you were still here with us!!!
I'll think of a new game....


here is Virgo Rising for men for Divinia, I also have a Virgo rising son,

Virgo rising looks for the women in his life much like the horse breeder looks for a future champion. He wants good sturdy stock, nice teeth, not stained, good intellect, strong hands to hold the plow. he's a sturdy, meticolous man who actually enjoys work and worry. If you've got problems, he won't hesitate to help if he judges you to be someone worth recuing. He doesn't wear rose-colred glasses and doesn't delude himself. He deals with the facts and loves to sort through the data. Being precise, practical and of service is exciting for him. While the rest of the world finds the laboriuos to be tediuos and wants to put off such tasks for as long as humanly possible, for Virgo Rising this is the stuff of which dreams are made. Not that's he's boring. he is inteligent and has a lot more to say than he is given credit for in most cases. Not only is he choosy about how he deals with life and with women, but being alone for great periods of time doesn't bother him. he is therefore often overlooked in the dating scene. getting him to warm up is another matter. He is slow to respond, and even when awestruck by beauty and intelligence he'll manage to find a flaw or two to dwell on, problem areas like disturbing lack of knowledge in greek history or legs with cellulite. Even if you pass the majority of tests, instant wild abandon is foreign to him. He'll offer you a love that is unselfish, thoughtful, and commited. Agressive, liberated women won't usually gain his admiration. Structured, subtle ladies who are in need of some sort of fixing up usually find him in quiet, steady pursuit. He won't write lavish poetry or send flowers, but he'll balance your check book and help you plant herbs. It's not the stuff that romance novels are made of, but it is the stuff that makes long lasting relationships. Teach him that love doesn't mean sacrifice, that simple reciprocal consideration will do, and he can excel as partner.

Tish

Thank you very much, Tish! You are a sweet!!

This reminds me of the game where everyone made their own description of something...and then one person had to guess from those descriptions. Or was there a false description and they had to pick it out? I don't remember. Sorry I missed all of this.

But I did learn a lot..and had fun!
