You’re much more than your sun sign—you have a whole birth chart that details each part of your life, and your rising sign concerns what people think of you the first time you meet. It is determined by the position of the sun on the horizon the moment you were born. If people keep telling you that you give off Pisces vibes but you were born during Libra season, there’s a good chance you have a Pisces rising. If your sign isn’t on the list, be sure to check the other parts in our series!

Cancer
The moon rules Cancer, which means you’re deep in your feelings. It’s especially important for Cancer ascendants to stay away from toxic and negative people, says Astrosofa, as it’s easy for you to absorb their bad vibes. Cancer ascendants typically have features that are reminiscent of the moon: round faces and big, dreamy eyes. You’re fairly intuitive and you can easily vibe check those around you. However, that also means you’re prone to strong emotional reactions, making you a little moody.
Leo
Leos are known to love the spotlight, and when you’re a Leo rising, this is turned up to the next level! The sun rules your sign, making you the life of the party. According to Astrosofa, you love seizing the day and making the most out of every moment in your bid to stay true to yourself. Confident, kind, and generous, you’re enthusiastic about life, but some people may also think that you’re narcissistic and arrogant. Who knows, they just might be jealous of your bright light!
Virgo
Efficient, practical, and perfectionist, Virgo risings really look like you have it together, notes Astrosofa. You love putting order to chaos and simplifying the complicated, which makes you an excellent person to have on a team. As a hard worker, you’re extremely detail-oriented and easily keep your cool. However, you may get too obsessed with the small stuff since everything needs to be nothing short of perfection. Ironically, this can make you work a lot less optimally than you’d like!
