Scorpio Rising
♏ 24 October - 22 November · Water · Fixed · ruled by Pluto and Mars
The face this sign shows the world.
People with Scorpio rising are extreme by temperament. They can make a style or an event they have fixed on the centre of their lives, and they do not change that focus easily. They have a strong will and can be cutting and severe; their critical manner can reach a point where it wounds the person opposite them. If they do not want to be misunderstood, and want people to read them correctly, they need to balance their harsher behaviour deliberately. Those with Scorpio rising are born leaders; they exercise that leadership quietly rather than openly, and take great pleasure in doing so. They are not attached to tradition and are forever chasing change. Their powers of observation are very good, and nothing escapes them. They observe and interpret everything, and move away from whatever does not suit them. People with Scorpio rising are extremely ambitious. Most Scorpios are people who choose to be on their own. In love they are fond of secret adventures.
