Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole astrology thing for a while now. You know, trying to figure out what makes people tick and all that. I started simple, just looking at people’s sun signs – that’s the one everyone knows, like “I’m an Aries” or “I’m a Leo.” But then I stumbled upon this concept of rising signs, also called ascendant, and I was like, “Wait a minute, there’s more to this than just being an Aries?”

So I started digging deeper. And let me tell you, it’s a whole other rabbit hole. Your rising sign is basically the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon when you were born. And it’s supposed to represent how you present yourself to the world, your first impression on people, kind of like your outer shell.
My sun sign is Aries. I am fiery and impulsive, I will say that much. But my rising sign is Virgo. So today, I really dove deep into what that means. I started by looking up some basic info online, a bunch of articles and stuff. Then I grabbed my birth chart, which I had calculated a while back. Seeing it all laid out there, the whole wheel with all the houses and planets, it’s kind of overwhelming, but also super interesting.
I spent a good chunk of the day just comparing what I read about Aries sun and Virgo rising with my own experiences. Like, how do I act in different situations? How do people usually see me when they first meet me? It was a lot of self-reflection, honestly. I also tried to observe how I act with different people, for example, people with Libra and Leo, which are best compatibility for Aries.
The Aries part, that’s the fire, the passion, the “let’s do this” attitude. It’s the part of me that wants to jump into things headfirst, take risks, and just go for it. But then there’s the Virgo rising. That’s the more analytical side, the one that wants to plan things out, pay attention to the details, and make sure everything is just right. It’s like there are two sides of me at war sometimes.
Then, I was thinking, is there any good match for Aries? So I searched online, and it turned out that generally, Aries will be compatible with someone who can appreciate their high energy and dominance. Maybe the people around me could give me some hints. I talked to some friends and family, asking them about their first impressions of me. It was a bit awkward, but I got some interesting feedback.
My Realization
- Struggles: It can be a real struggle sometimes, feeling this pull in different directions. Like, part of me wants to just go for it, while the other part is saying, “Hold on, let’s think this through.” It is like a war inside my brain.
- Strengths: But I also realized that it can be a strength. The Aries side gives me the drive and the courage to pursue my goals, while the Virgo side helps me to do it in a smart and organized way. I could be unstoppable!
- Observations: People often see me as more reserved or analytical than a typical Aries. They might not see the fire right away, but it’s definitely there, simmering beneath the surface. When I get to know someone more, I can be more impulsive.
It’s an ongoing process, you know? I’m still figuring it all out. But this deep dive into my Aries sun and Virgo rising has definitely given me a lot to think about. It’s like having a roadmap to myself, and I’m excited to keep exploring it. Also, I’m super curious about how all of this plays out in relationships. Like, who am I actually compatible with, considering both my sun and rising signs? That’s a whole other can of worms I need to open up. I think I will start from Sagittarius.
So, yeah, that’s where I’m at with this whole astrology thing. It’s a journey, and I’m just getting started. Thanks for listening to my ramblings!
