What the rising signs remind me of
Aries rising: Ripped jeans, speaking in front of a lot of people, cacti, friendly rivalries, sports, war paint, admiration, skull shirts, innocent smiles, curiosity, birth, crushes on seemingly out of reach people.
Taurus rising: Cozy blankets, a flower boquet that is either wilting or blooming, elusiveness, the newest fashion, cute skirts, fluffy animals, wedding rings, promises, whispers in the night.
Gemini rising: Cheeky smiles, pranks, masks, theatre, artwork, costumes, your own costumized fashion, magic tricks, card games, black and white lies, textbooks, trivia.
Cancer rising: Words scattering beautifully, sea birds, maternal instincts, questions of home, pools at late night, holding hands, intimate affection, conversations on rooftops.
Leo rising: Smirks, leather jackets, playfulness, posters on the wall, memorable hair, adrenaline after a sports match, entertainers, bath bombs, rose petal baths, a voice in the back of your head, self doubt, pianos.
Virgo rising: Calenders, timetables, coffee in the morning, persian cats, correcting essays at 3am, mature impressions, events that made you wise beyond your years, an open sky.
Libra rising: Social media, cute pastels, wedding dresses, flower crowns, hope, a warm hug for a sad friend, a mix between winter and summer, your own style, gender nonconformity.
Scorpio rising: Fights in alleyways, a great heart behind a greater mask, bruised knuckles, rap songs, violins, ice, rain, walks late at night with your best friend, smiles you only show to those you care for the most.
Sagittarius rising: Loud laughs, confidence, speaking up on important issues, charity organizations, adventures with your friends at 3am, car rides, amusement parks, fireworks, a pat on the back.
Capricorn rising: Hand movements, ties, proud smiles when you’ve achieved something, glasses, ambition, polo shirts, a reassuring hand on your shoulder, intertwined fingers.
Aquarius rising: Dyed hair, classic music, libraries, a clouded sky, bonds between best friends, lipstick, animation, movie marathons, making your friends laugh when everyone is down.

People strive to be like their Venus when really, they should strive to be like their Sun. Venus can represent what we’d like to be because it’s attractive, comfortable, and whatever else appeals to you.
However, the Sun represents who you truly are while Venus is a subjective ideal. Venus can be so subjective to where it can be argued that it doesn’t really exist… After all, beauty and comfort are truly subjective subjects. The tangible existence of beauty and comfort exists through societal standards and emotions. That’s why Libra is exalted in Saturn, a planet of rules while Taurus is exalted in the Moon, a planet of emotions. Emotions and standards keep Venus alive… but the true nature of Venus is unknown due to subjectivity. It kind of makes Venus mysterious in a way… No wonder Neptune, a planet of mystery, is considered a higher octave of Venus!
With that being said, this is why people with strong Sun-Venus aspects are so attractive to others. They find that their ideal self matches with their ideal self, and this confidence shines beautifully to others. However, this confidence doesn’t come right when you’re born… This is a confidence you grow into through your struggles (Saturn) and how you feel (Moon) throughout those struggles. After all, you gotta know yourself before you’re truly confident in yourself.
Sure, Venus can be a shallow, vain planet, but it’s a planet that gives us a direction in life. After all, most people earn money to be rich and comfortable (Taurus) and strive to be liked by the people around them (Libra.) Which way the direction goes, however, depends on you.
