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.
