Well, another crab weighing in! [birthday was yesterday] However, I am nothing like a Cancer. I am the opposite of clingy, tend to be insensitive, and am not a family oriented person. I don't have a domestic bone in my body and have little patience for that crap.

I had my chart done and it says that my rising sign, Moon, and most planets are in Leo. When I look up the traits for Leo, it is almost a perfect fit!

This astrology lady gave me this and it is a perfect description of my personality:

Leo Rising…

Leo is the royal sign; the person with this rising is dramatic, regal in her bearing, and certainly in control of any situation. Leadership and executive ability are easy for one with this rising. It seems that they came into this world to express individuality, dominance and strength. When she walks into a room, she exudes a vibrancy that is not easily ignored. There is no doubt about her dramatic ability.

Leo rising is literally a ball of fire. Her energy is almost always high. She is an extrovert and can be somewhat of an exhibitionist at heart. If she is the shy type of Leo, she still commands attention.

The Leo rising is really a big kitten at heart. If you stroke and pet her she can be easily tamed. She is a lovable sort when you get past the roar.

Appearance is also characteristic of the lion. They usually have an abundance of hair growing in thick profusion, framing their face like a mane… and may even have a lion like face. Most easily recognizable by the way they dress, the royal attire will give them away every time. They prefer dramatic combinations of color and clothing, always in good taste, but probably designed to attract attention. Rarely will they appear in public without the best attire. If you find them in sloppy condition, no doubt her ego has been wounded. Rather than show up at a gathering in a depressed state, she will probably stay home.

The person with this rising sign NEEDS the warmth of the sun, as they get cold very easily. They seem to come alive in a new sort of way when the weather is pleasant. She may wear several sweaters at a time when everyone else is comfortable. She is electric in energy and needs warmth to recharge her batteries. The Sun reinforces her natural enthusiasm and zest when her energy flags.

Leo risings are fascinating to watch. Everything she does has a natural sense of heightened energy about it. The way she moves, the pauses she takes, are not calculated for effect. It just reflects her natural sense of the dramatic. Whatever she is doing can be tremendously interesting to observe even if only lighting a cigarette or talking to a friend.
She can seem to make a grand entrance whether it is a business meeting or social gathering. She wants to be noticed and usually is. If she really makes a bid for attention, no one can hold a candle to her. She doesn’t seem to have to do anything special to attract recognition and have everyone’s rapt attention. (Marilyn Monroe had Leo rising).

The person with this rising will never forget a kindness. Her devotion is boundless, her memory long. The Leo rising will come to your aid when you need it the most and expect it the least. If however, you have offended this rising sign, you’ll see the chilly side of her personality. The gloom of the sky when the Sun has disappeared is nothing in comparison to the Leo personality when her ego has been hurt. She may never say anything about the situation but will disappear to lick her wounds in private.

The Leo rising is loyal as well as devoted, if she is appreciated… there is nothing she won’t do. She loves to be helpful and kind. Since Leo rules the heart her loving warmth and generosity are boundless. She will want some thanks periodically, and will find her own way to remind someone that she is due for strokes in return. She will be truly hurt if a friendship is soiled. She won’t hold a grudge; she just won’t be available and can be too cool for comfortable association. She will simply not acknowledge the presence of someone who has done her wrong reducing that individual to an insignificant place in her life.

Nobility and pride are synonymous with the Leo rising. She must be able to show her generosity, graciousness, and flair for good living, or she will suffer deeply. She can be extravagant and want the best of everything.

Underneath what appears to be a vain, conceited personality … lies a Heart of Gold waiting to be recognized for her true worth.

Since the rising sign indicates decisions about survival, the qualities of leadership become apparent early in life. The person with this rising decides she is on safe ground when she is in charge. It is probable that the child with this rising sign loses respect, to some degree, for the people around her, and feels she must take over as the strongest member of the family. She easily assumes the role of leader and may do so without anyone being cognizant of what she is doing and may be unaware of it herself. It is so important to give a child with this rising the compliments she deserves. If her ego is well nourished she channels her leadership in healthy ways.

This lady is no clinging vine. She is always in touch with her strength and has no sense of inferiority to men and loses respect for any woman who plays the shrinking violet. She is not lacking in femininity and may actually be the most feminine lady around. If she is willing to expose her vulnerability, the lioness in her can be tamed.

Need to be disciplined about health matters. Affection and touching can improve their health. Routine massage will have a definite therapeutic effect.

Leo rising needs a great deal of freedom in marriage. She is attracted to someone who appears to be a free soul, avant-garde, spontaneous and humanitarian. She really wants a genius as a mate. She needs to be able to do what she wants when she wants. She needs a partnership with someone that not only understands these needs but can be spontaneous enough to adapt to her desires. Leo rising must look for the person who is inventive, and free thinking rather than the person who is unpredictable, unstable and unreliable. She will be even more stimulated by someone who attains a share of the limelight.

Oh my gawd Melody. I am a cancer and so not like you. You would intimidate me I think. I must be the wimpy cancer... well that is until somebody yanks my chain - then watch out!

aaah melody.... she lets her mood take over. Actually my moon is in Aries, but my rising is on leo.... (all sexup aquarian)...

See melody, your moon take over your sun sign.. some people tend to show their TRUE self most of the time.. Lucky for you.. because moon is what is the INNER self <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> and sun is what people see and what you perceive yourself to be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Oh I want to play! I'm a Taurus (May 17) and fiance is Gemini (May 23). Thanks!

I wanna play too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I'm Aries (Ascendent Cancer) and my hubby is Pisces (ascendent Skorpion).

I'm curious................ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
bb

H, this thread IS fun! I'm a Leo but as unlike anything I've ever read about them. H and OM are both Libras (7 days apart) and they are as opposite as night and day. I don't get it!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Just your perception of them knewbetter.. if I told you they weren't .. I know that would seem bad, but in some point in this life they are. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> or one can have all good qualities of the libras or all the bad.. they might seem different but all interrelate with each person...each person have different decendants, and was born at different hours. sun-sign is just a broad perspective of a person.. there are qualities of aquarians that I do not have, but most I do.. and see in myself, but some of my qualities come from my moon and my rising sign.
My H is a taurean...he shows most of the signs of taurean to anyone who doesn't know him too well, but he has an aquarian heart.. because his moon is in aquarius.
Sun sign are the most noticeable views of each person. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I like libras <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I notice lots of cancers and leo on the boards.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

wantedout

Oh I want to play! I'm a Taurus (May 17) and fiance is Gemini (May 23). Thanks

yahoo!! Taurus and Gemini.. you either love each other or hate each other.. there is no in between! No hiding, but strangely enough Gemini even very airy, find compassion for the bull.. the bull is big but so sweet at heart, so much in need of love... it can be a very passionate relationship. One thing is Gemini is most likely to be the one leaving because Taurean might just be TOO good for them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Also Gemini might be turn off by the materialistic part of Taureans. And Taurean might find that Gemini do not appreciate all the little thing he tries to do for her... that's when it becomes rocky... but I like a mix like that... They make very good friend though...

Do you think that is because of my rising sign? What does that influence? However, I am not FLASHY like some Leos [maybe my Cancer influence? I think flashy=tacky]

P.S. my DH is a Taurus and he revs my engine! We get along really good, but he is very different from me. He is sort of quiet, studious, logical but has a quick wit. He is a saver and I am a SPENDER!

I'm Aries (Ascendent Cancer) and my hubby is Pisces (ascendent Skorpion).

HOT ARIES! Aries are just fun to be around. They are always into the hip of fashion and you know who have the latest albums, so aquarian friends can borrow from you... Again, this have ups and down... Aries and Pisces... Pisces might be too much of a dreamer for the ACTIVE ARIES! If Aries is in charge this relationship will last, if not.. well there have to some work done. Because we know Pisces are not going to be putting their hands in the dough that easily because they just got their nails done. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Aries are very active unlike the fish, you gottah pull them out of the water to make ehm wiggle for an Aries a pisces might be a bit too slow.. Scorpion is a good mix with Aries, the match each other's hot sauce <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Since there is a mixture of this with your ascendants, its more positive than negative.. again.. to make it really aries must work HARD!
