You present yourself in a cheerful, friendly, non-hostile manner but may find it hard to conceal your contempt for those whose mind and actions are slower than your own. Not being easily influenced, you prefer to make up your own mind about everything, and you can appear rather opinionated. Others see you as quick, clever, courageous but may become annoyed by your tendency to push yourself to the front of every queue and to fight for the best of whatever is going. Your sense of humour and child like appeal can help you get away from any trouble.

Your outer manner is cheerful, confident and friendly, but possibly sharp and off-putting to newcomers. Sometimes, the sarcastic and unfeeling manner can put people on the defensive. Sharp-edged cleverness is a sham, a shield that protects your vulnerability and shaky sense of self-esteem. You can appear strong, efficient and businesslike but, if you feel threatened in any way, you can be cutting and hurtful. You use your hand while talking and may be emphatic when excited about something. You may actually fear old age, but your attitude and appearance guarantee that you remain youthful even in your old age. Your quick mind and sense of humour are delightful.

Rising in Cancer |
Women with this ascendant appear very feminine and rather cuddly. Men appear kind, gentle and equally cuddly. Both sexes are popular because they are pleasant, kindly and humorous. The strange thing is that you do not seek friendship and are not terribly interested in people outside your immediate family. Most Cancer rising subjects get over their early shyness and become outgoing adults, often with a talent for salesmanship and the more pleasant kind of company politics. You prefer to pour oil on troubled water than to stir up a storm. You are a bit shy, being rather modest and retiring in new company. You hate to look outrages, to draw attention to yourself or to make a public fool of yourself. You obey the rules, and are generally civilized in your manner. You are good to talk to because you are such a good listener but your habit of questioning others may be a bit to intrusive to some people.

Rising in Virgo |
Your outer manner is polite, formal and a little guarded. You can hang back and be shy on the first meeting, especially in new social circumstances but you soon warm up when you relax. Unless the rest of the chart is not in good aspects, your mind is sharp and you can be surprisingly intuitive. You always appear confident and capable; the very image of the perfect purchasing officer, secretary or nurse. Being shy, you may also appear to be a little stand-offish on the first acquaintance and you prefer to let others do the talking, while you access the people and the situation around you. When you're at ease, of course, you can talk the hind legs of the donkey. You are usually very smartly dressed, in an up-to-date manner with stylish and slightly unconventional clothing.

It is always a joy to sit quietly and listen to you when you relax and open out. Your company is so good that time spent with you goes by quickly. There are some Scorpio rising types who are thoroughly off-putting on first acquaintance, being sharp and forbidding, critical, offensive and rather frightening, but I have found that if I allow myself to slide behind the unpleasant mask, there is always a fascinating person behind it. You are curious about the motives and behavior of other people and may tend to put total strangers under interrogation, but even this unnerving trait is far preferable to the type of person who is terminally self-absorbed.

Your dry sense of humour is always a delightful discovery to any new acquaintance and your genuinely non-hostile approach to the world ensures that you are surprisingly popular.

Under normal circumstances, you are friendly, open and totally non-hostile. However, if you are faced with someone who is offensive or otherwise unpleasant, you give them absolutely no quarter. You speak your mind and don't fear the consequences. You may be a little shy when you are in a familiar social setting, but once you feel yourself to be at home, you immediately join in whatever is going on. You love meeting new people, and are not at all put off by unusual ones. Your judgement of people is excellent, and you seem to be able to see through surface impressions to the reality, which lies underneath. You don't judge people by outer appearances and you cannot be taken in by anyone who puts on airs and graces.
Your own approach, apart from being friendly, is businesslike and humourous but not pushy. In some circumstances, you can appear arrogant, or you may give impression that you class yourself above the people whom you are associating. When you are with people with whom you are comfortable, especially if the occasion is a social one, you are terrific. You mix with everyone, thoroughly enjoy yourself and help others to do the same. Your most outstanding quality is your quick wit and sense of humour. Aquarius risers are the masters of pithy comment and the hilarious one liner.
