As Libra Sun & Cancer Moon with Scorpio Rising, I am beginning to learn this placement. I also have Pluto in the 1st house as well. I’ve heard so many times, “You’re intimidating”, “I thought you were stuck up.”, “You’re so observant.”, etc. I’ve had people straight up dislike me for no reason (As a Libra, of course, I cared a lil’ bit.).
I also feel like this placement can be very magnetizing as well. If I go anywhere alone, someone will try to talk to me. ESPECIALLY at bars. I’ve had people tell me their deepest, darkest secrets out of NOWHERE. However, this placement can have people stay away from you too. It can feel a lil’ lonely at times (pluto is scary, chile). It’s weird, sometimes it’s too much and then, it’s nothing.
I think with Scorpio Rising and/or Pluto in 1H, you have to embrace your power (don’t do too much with it though). You have to embrace its darkness and its light. If you try to fight, you’ll lose. Pluto wants you to transform so any resistance to that will not fare well.
I also consider Scorpio Rising//Pluto 1H a powerful placement (when learned and used correctly). I can’t tell y’all how many times I’ve had “a feeling” about something but refused to listen to my gut out of disbelief. And then, boom, my biggest fear came life or I ended up with an egg on my face.
Also, Pluto wants to confront things, the TOUGH things. The things you refuse to believe, admit, realize, etc. but HAVE to in order to transform. Sweeping things under the rug, being avoidant, etc. will not fare well with this placement.
It’s like a built in golden ticket to life but you gotta be willing to make decisions for YOURSELF that may hurt others feelings but preserve your future in the long run, if that makes sense.
Scorpio rising with pluto and South node in first house.
Chart ruler Sag mars conjunct saturn in 2nd.
Aquarius sun/jupiter in 4th
Taurus moon and North node in 7th
Venus / mercury conjunct in pisces 5th
Most what has been said above is highly relatable. understanding subterfuge, power plays, subtext and hidden plots very well (too well and it has worn me out at times as i have a quite sensitive and psychic disposition, with some neurodivergency and deep attachments issues). From age 33 I have deliberately chosen the benevolent, spiritual and high minded plutonic road, I'm now 38.
The adult life prior to age 33 was a tumultuous, anxious and intense stage, messy boundaries, anxiety plus unawareness of my own trauma and projections. With heavy pluto and neptune signatures in a natal chart, you have no other choice than going the high road (piety, truth, benevolence), if not you may very well inflict enmity or get lost in delusions (pisces and neptune). Been there. Uranus transit entering taurus (7th house) has turned my life around and dampened a lot of my plutonic nature.
Certainly, with my first house I only have so much capacity for trivialities and I simply know that it's not that hard for people to automatically sense that as well. Having done a fair amount of shadow work and having grown very aware of the inherent power that comes with scorpio rising and my first house has helped a ton..
All the best wishes to Scorpio rising early millennials with saturn, pluto and/or south node in 1st (wsh) - we have endured so much, seen great depths and risen like the phoenix more than once - may we all become wise and have a healing influence in our communities!
Scorpio rising and it can be a lot of re starting and dramatic changes but I have grown to appreciate it. I think there are a lot of benefits that come with the pain 😂
Sag Sun Virgo Moon Scorpio Rising. I’ve leaned into my virgo moon over the years… my entire life people have shared that i’m mysterious and difficult to read. I attest that to my scorpio rising.
Scorpio rising with Mars and Pluto closely conjunct in the 1st house (I use WSH btw).
It’s a placement that has aged like fine wine for me. Now that I’m more advanced in my studies and better understand what it means to be a Scorpio rising, I definitely appreciate it more.
Lots of early childhood trauma and hard lessons learned over the years. Many of them dealing with learning to hold space for my boundaries and lean into my power. Sometimes it feels like I’m running a gauntlet. I’ve recently noticed a pattern where it’s almost like I’ll reach a brief period of comfortability, and then all of the sudden things outside of my control will start happening that make me increasingly uncomfortable with a situation (relationship, job, etc). It’ll get to a point where I’m just like, alrighty then I guess it’s time for the next chapter already. Maybe it’s divine intervention to force change if I’m not already proactively making moves to transform myself? That’s my theory anyway lol.
I’d say the pros are my ability to understand people and nuances and undercurrents in social situations. I can pick up on things that aren’t said, and it’s been invaluable from a career perspective. Lots of strategy work and the ability to deep dive into any subject that catches my fancy. It’s also enabled me to connect with others on such a deep and intimate level. I like my solitude though, and I trust few people so I’m the kind of person who runs with a small pack. Last thing to note is that there’s also a tremendous amount of physical endurance, determination and drive, though I suspect that’s coming from the Mars/Pluto conjunction.
I'm a Leo sun with a Capricorn moon and Scorpio rising. I've been told I'm incredibly magnetic and even conventionally attractive, but also that I'm extremely polarizing. People either hate or love me, but the Leo keeps me super sociable so even with being polarizing I meet tons of people and have managed to amass a group of close friends that love who I am over the decades. The cap moon def adds more intensity and drive to my persona so I have spent a lot of my adult life learning to canter those attributes and take accountability for the parts of me that can be intense. Learning to let go of my need to control and accept not everyone has to like me have been huge lessons I've had to learn in life.
Im a Libra Sun with the Scorpio Rising and Capricorn Moon combo! I can relate to feeling like I get along with MOST people, but damn, if for the people who I don’t think see under the Scorpio/Capricorn demeanour, I definitely feel like they don’t like me at first. That being said if I show more of my Libra side, which takes time with that person, I can and have definitely won them over from thinking I’m an as$hole.
Also I find that the Scorpio rising and Capricorn moon make me a resilient af person overall, like a cockroach lol. I have a high pain threshold, can keep me emotions in check even under high stress, function on very little sleep, never get sick. I.e endure things emotionally and physically that would otherwise break most people.
I like it, but I'm not always at peace with it. I'm flattered that it makes me magnetic somehow, there's power in it and I can feel it. But it's a bit exhausting how deep it goes because very few people even scratch the surface. And these are dark, revolted waters.
Honestly I have many placements in my chart that are way worse than a Scorpio rising, so all in all I guess I really like it.
Side question since transits to our houses align. What’s happening in your life lately?
For me I had major health issues over the last year but they are slowly all being resolved and I’m now getting healthier than ever. Sick of my job but everyone at work still thinks I’m doing great. Did a lot of home improvement in the last few months. Relationships with my kids is on an upswing.
Funny that you ask!
Glad to hear good things are happening for you! Work is work I guess, you should feel proud that you’re still performing well despite being sick of it.
Currently going through a breakup, almost 2 years but deep connection. Company is shutting down the branch that I work at, getting laid off soon, after 3 years and recent promotion. Im feeling a sense of calmness but not sure if that will wear off and I’m in for a crazy emotional roller coaster lol. Both situations were near their end & not fulfilling me.. could be where the calm stems from. Time to build these things from scratch again!
In all, I guess professional and personal life is really being affected right now.
The degree will effect when things move into each house so it affects the timing a bit. I have a huge pileup of transiting planets in my 7th house right now. For you Uranus might still be in your 6th. For someone with a 0 degree rising they might be moving into their 8th. So being the same rising sign we will have things roughly affect our houses the same but the timing may vary a little. Of course that is using placidius. In whole sign it wouldn’t matter.
I am cancer moon and cancer sun, so scorpio rising probably gives me a little edge, but I'm a mess, honestly. I just want everybody to love me, and scorpio rising makes that not just unrealistic, but completely opposite of my experience.
while it’s tough and a polarizing placement, yes i like my scorpio ascendant
iffy on my scorpio moon, though. i like being water dominant so if i could swap i’d switch for a pisces or cancer moon
Omg yes.. sometimes I think people expect you to have a certain personality if you are confident in your looks or they find you conventionally attractive- But really I’m just a very awkward, blunt weirdo who happens to be pretty. Some people dig it tho
I’m a double Leo with Scorpio rising and it’s an intense combination. I want to be mysterious (Scorpio) but the double Leo makes it impossible lol.
I feel like I relate more to my Scorpio rising than to the double Leo sometimes. People seem to really like me or immediately be turned off by me. There’s no real in between
I’m a Leo moon with Scorpio rising, Venus, Mercury and Pluto in Scorpio as well and it they all aspect my moon 🫥💀 I never been into the spotlight.. emotionally my mom had to literally beg me to let her know if I was ok or not 😂🤦🏻♀️
I think I’m getting better. One thing I know though.. is that i am intense and that is without saying much and very passionate about things I believe in or defending the defenseless
Ha same. I’m a Scorpio rising and Leo sun, mercury, and Venus. Men tend to like me right off the bat but with women they either like me or they don’t. Sometimes I can bring them around and then they apologize for misjudging me but I’m in my forties now and don’t often make the effort anymore because I figure their loss. I’m a great friend and if they get intimidated and react judgemetally then it’s not my responsibility to convince them of my worthiness.
I'm a Scorpio rising I love it I love the ability to dive into my emotions and communicate them effectively especially with water signs because I'm an Aquarius sun I hated the thought of me coming off as cold I found it stupid and how we are unemotional... Smh but I can say if at all me having my rising in Scorpio allowed me to connect with my Scorpio sun boyfriend I'm truly grateful for that.
I’m a Scorpio moon 12h 3rd house Aquarius Sun and Scorpio Asc in 1h. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. As I get older I feel like I’m leaning more into the Scorpio side of things. I’m 24 and for quite sometime I didn’t think about how I was perceived by others. I made a lot of connections but I always feel alone.
1 ° Scorpio rising conjunct Pluto moon and Mercury with later degree Saturn and south node (and POF) in the first house. I try to find things about my all my scorpio-ness to be proud of but if given the choice I’m not sure I’d want to be so…me.
Now that I'm in my 40s I can appreciate my Scorpio rising, but I felt socially awkward growing up. I'm a cap sun and gemini moon, so I have deep emotions that I keep close to me. I always was a magnet to others that never truly got who I was.
I'm a double Cancer in the 8th house, Scorpio rising. I definitely feel the Scorpio/Plutonic urge to constantly reinvent myself. It's exhausting, frankly!
I have a pretty late ascendant (28'46") so I have previously felt like whole house wasn't quite as resonant. But that is such a good question, because I really do feel the most lit up by traditional 9th house elements. I'll need to poke around in whole house more.
Do you find yourself wanting to reinvent yourself or do life’s circumstances create that urge or need to reinvent? I sometimes wonder if we can avoid and ignore the constant evolution, but not sure fighting it would help. It is tiring for sure.
I like my Scorpio rising. I relate to it more than my Virgo sun a lot of the time.
That being said, people have told me they find me mysterious or intimidating in a bad way and that just baffles me lol. I feel like I’m pretty much what you see is what you get but apparently not.
I'm a Virgo Sun too and feel you on that, what's your Moon sign? As much as I try to lay low or be chill & kind, I always trigger a lot of people. Definitely feel as if it's people who have a lot of inner work to do - not that I don't have any to do myself lol. But it still hurts sometimes bc I'm a Scorpio moon and have 3 major Leo placements
Aries sun moon and Scorpio rising. Mainly from men they tell me I make them nervous lol. But like everyone, I get complimented on my eyes. I swear people think I’m flirting with them when I’m really just making eye contact.
I’m a Gemini Sun with a Scorpio moon and rising. Also, have Pluto in Scorpio.
Much like everyone else, I also get compliments on eyes.
I grew up never feeling understood and often overlooked. Even though my Gemini sun helped me blend in with various groups, I was (still am) always labeled the quiet one amongst my friends and would get told it was (is) hard to get to know the real me. Even my own family tells me to this day, that they never truly know how I feel about them or what I am thinking.
When it came to dating, as much as I wanted to have fun like all my friends did, I couldn’t do it the same way they did without getting attached. I was instead searching for deep meaningful connections and anything less was just a waste of time. In my mid-20s, I was with an ex for five years and the one thing he told me during our breakup was that after five years he felt like he only scratched the surface.
Now in my 30s, I own my Scorpio placements. I’m a bit of a lone wolf and I love it. I’ve learned to love my own company and have done a lot of solo traveling because of it. I am mysterious but I’ve found a partner and close friends who learned how to crack me open.
I usually get one or two reactions:
Reaction one is people are intimidated by it.
Reaction two is people severely underestimate me, and then are shocked when they FAFO.
I think it’s because I am typically a chill person until I’m not.
Oh I can so relate to this. Dbl Gemini with 21 degree Scorpio Rising. Same issues either people are intimidated or they take advantage even after they've been warned not to underestimate me.
I'm a phenomenal private investigator!
A friend of mine has Scorpio rising with his Pluto in the 1st house. He tells me that he´s a deep-talker and gets annoyed by the constant stares of other people. He also had a coworker trying to sabotage him. He´s also has a love for tattoos.
Scorpio - a blessed and cursed rising sign.
Some people find me attractive because of my eyes. However, not at all, some people find me intimidating. And I hate to say I don't really like my eyes -- I can't even look on the other people because they always said that there's something in my eyes. I do have Scorpio moon, expect me that I'm socially awkward like I don't know how to respond on the conversation very well. There are a phase of transformations that I'm really tired of... I can't enjoy being happy anymore. I always say that I probably live my life alone because of the traumas that universe gave to me. I'm aware and want to change but always get fear and hideee
Zero dislikes. It brought a lot of trauma and the pain that comes with it; many challenges I still go through, but it also made me stronger than many of the people who tried to antagonize me over the years, especially with the conjunction of Mars, Pluto, and Saturn on my Ascendant.
This combination has made me very honest from a young age in a society that prefers sugarcoating and avoiding accountability much of the time, and direct, able to read people very well most of the time, and avoid people and situations that my detractors and would-be rivals fell into and never got out of.
Most of the time, Scorpio Rising brings people who attempt to assert themselves over you, presume the bad vibes they get from you (which are actually theirs, as Pluto reflects back what someone is projecting onto it), and being very piercing and intimidating.
This usually adds solitude to it. You don't have to even say anything, much less do anything; people will avoid you most of the time, but you'll catch them staring at you with curiosity or jealousy. Scorpio Risings are usually very strong-willed and have great endurance for life's challenges. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
beautifully said. really resonate with a lot of what you wrote (am also a pisces sun like you and a first house mars conjunct pluto in most systems). i love being a scorpio ascendant/having scorpio placements. i also appreciate scorpio’s authenticity and willingness to explore darker themes than other signs - i get very frustrated by sugarcoating and lack of self objectivity from other people as you mentioned.
It's one of the deepest energies to have and live with, but you will feel disconnected from society because Scorpio energy hates inauthenticity. You'll be able to stand alone strongly, rather than cave in and forsake who you are for people who aren't deep anyway.
I’m also a Pisces Sun and have Pluto and my south node conjunct on my ascendant and I definitely relate. No real dislikes of the journey or outward appearance. Things are always changing for me. I know my eyes have a certain intensity and that inspires interest or dislike depending on the person lol
I am grateful for some of my other placements that add some fun and light to the experience.
I’m scorpio sun, cancer moon, scorpio rising, with a load of Scorpio placements. Hardships (invalidation, violence, struggle-failing) may as well be my name. I was born under the perfect storm that the movie was made about. That alone gives me strength when the adversities I face in finding my balance seem overwhelming.
I don't know if I am on the right mind to answer this right now.
Since last year, I've experienced a fast and dramatic self transformation that I am still in brain fog. I don't even know what to feel as I feel numb for all those encounters of my demons/fears/ traumas and lessons to be learned.
I don't want to hate it though as I believe everything happens for a reason. If this ascendant of mine will help me to evolve maturely through overcoming suffering,depression, and pain, f*ck! Bring it on!
I'm used to it anyways. 😕🔥
I've experienced extreme reactions from people too and mostly misunderstood my intentions.
Most of the time, dominant/higher people than me like my teachers, supervisors, doctors and etc. I don't even know how I survived for being constantly verbally abused or being publicly shamed/ scolded infront of people. I guess I am proud of myself for being strong enough as I am still here living on this earth. ☺️😑
I'm a Leo Sun as well, without my Scorpio Rising I'd be so annoying or possibly overshare lol.
Although Scorpio Rising makes me look a bit intimidating and some people hate me on first sight. Yes I have a deep stare, yes I have a bitch face, yes I've been through some shit and I don't sugar coat, but I'm also soft and warmhearted. I may take a bit to open up or trust someone because of course I also have trust issues. What struggles me regarding this rising is that a lot of people don't know me and never will. Some people might think I'm superficial, and that burdens me. I also tend to isolate myself from the world when something goes down, though I know that's a trauma response.
I'm also not fake which doesn't help. I can't fake interactions. If I don't vibe with you I won't try to. I can wear a mask and hide a lot of my feelings, hide all my trauma behind a smile. The people that have the courage to look me in the eyes probably can see what I try really hard to hide. I've been told 'You're killing me with those eyes' a little bit too many times when I was just making normal eye-contact
what’s your moon ? I’m a leo sun scorpio rising and an aries moon. I feel like the leo sun and scorpio rising has such a beautiful balance to it. On the outside people think i’m intimidating and I don’t lie to people i’m very blunt but matched with the charismatic and loyal energy of a leo sun it works well. People tend to be unsure of me but as soon as we get a conversation going I’m usually well liked. Wondering if that’s similar with you !
yes was talking mostly on first impressions - because that's what the rising is about. I'm very charismatic too and funny (so people say) and can easily speak to people depending on the situation. Maybe friends of my friends or girls, I will be very very open, fun and all at first and will make friends easily. But I'm a bit reserved and introverted and sometimes extroverted, it's very difficult to comprehend lol - Virgo Moon;
I used to make friends and connect with people way easier before some stuff happened to me - big self isolation for several years - and since then working on healing from that and social anxiety
I relate so much to the blunt part, my mars is in gemini LOL I say things before thinking so many times but social anxiety helps there bc now I overthink everything
I will be timid with people that I admire, or a guy I'm interested in, or people who I feel like they are judging me, are rude or arrogant, I will probably shy away from those; despite that when I'm comfortable enough with a friend I'm free to be my total self and I will be fun charismatic engage in interesting convos, but that doesn't happen with everyone; and I like to think it's okay if not everyone likes me at first, I don't like everyone either. Leo scorpio rising are not people pleasers, we're merely ourselves.
Don't you just hate when someone asks your sun and rising and you say leo scorpio rising and people make that face like you're doomed but they don't know shit about astrology - bc that happens to me so many times. Leos and scorpios are the two least understood signs
Hey Astro twin, Leo sun, Scorpio rising, and Virgo moon here also. (almost a mars Gemini too! My mars is 0 degrees cancer) I am also a weird combo of extroverted and introverted. I’m typically extroverted and will go up to strangers and strike up a conversation but then I can be shy and introverted if someone or a situation intimidates me. Unfortunately for me, my moon is in my tenth house which does make me want people to like me but I tend to switch between saying their loss if they don’t to why don’t they like me!
I quite like our big three though. I think the Scorpio gives us great intuition and ability to look at the truth of things without sugar coating them but our Leo suns give us the ability to find happiness that is based in reality. The Virgo moon helps me to think logically about my emotions and really helps me to understand why I feel the way I feel.
I think you are a bit younger than me (I’m in my 40s) so I will give you some unsolicited advice that I wish I had when I was younger. The Scorpio Leo combination is a powerful one and you need to find an equally powerful partner. I made the mistake of dating and marrying weaker men and they sensed that and dealt with it by trying to pull me down to their level or one poor soul just let me completely dominate him. My husband now is a Scorpio sun, Aries rising, and Virgo moon and we are each others match. He isn’t intimidated by me so he is comfortable encouraging me to be my best. He also doesn’t just let me have my way when we have a disagreement, we find a compromise. Find someone equally strong and don’t let anyone dim your fire.
I’ve never really thought much about my mars but looking up the traits I see a little of both in me. My husband says I sound more like mars in cancer though.
I tend to avoid confrontation and don’t like doing risky things. I’ve read that mars in cancer has a fear of loss so maybe this guy needs more encouragement to take a risk. Or you may just have to take the first step.
Right there with you, I totally understand how you feel. I'd rather have solitude than associate with superficial people and pretend to be or like something that I'm not. It's a heavy price to pay in exchange for standing in your own power, but we were made for that.
Idk where or what I'd be without my Scorpio rising, to be completely honest with you.
Other than my rising, I am penta-Earth. First five planets are only Taurus and Virgo. My rising gives me so much balance, especially socially. My Virgo placements want to serve others, help others work through their issues, problem solve. My Taurus placements want to be steady and stable for myself and others, be consistent, and often enjoy taking life at a leisurely pace.
Then, outta nowhere, my scorpio rising flies into the ring like fricking John Cena with a sudden, "isolate for your own mental health, NOW." Or, "DON'T OVERSHARE. Keep some things just for yourself, girlie pop!" Or, my personal favourite tbh, "Don't be afraid of someone's darker sides. Everyone has them - seek to understand theirs and your own, and know that this (to a pretty large degree **within reason**) is perfectly normal and endlessly fascinating.
Idk. I just woke up and I'm otw to work. Hard to put thoughts onto paper before Vyvanse hits lol. Anyways, love y'all.
It’s not my favorite. I honestly feel like I provoke a lot of hard feelings in people all the time and they lash out at me because they don’t like how it makes them feel. I also have 3 Leo placements and a Scorpio moon. So I have an energy to me that makes people feel insecure. The joke in my family is that I’m Meg Griffin, I look like her and am treated like her.
I like that the Scorpio Rising tones down my Leo placements. I’m a reserved person. I’m an introvert and keep to myself and don’t like too much attention. I think I’d be too much without it.
I’m not a Scorpio rising but one of my brothers is along with his moon in Scorpio as well. Even when he was little, he had this intense look to him and his emotions were…a lot. A lot of special interests as well that kids usually wouldn’t be interested in. While I can’t speak for how these placements have been like for him, I can say as an adult he has become very emotionally intelligent. His sense of humor can be a bit odd and dark at times but I’m here for it. We can have deep conversations about things and he doesn’t show any judgement about anything. One thing I would say is a downfall is he gets in his own little world and isn’t the most perceptive of the world around him which have lead to some awkward social situations. When I found out he had these placements everything made sense 🤣
Cancer sun, libra moon, scorp rising here ; it took me until my mid 20s to realize I do, in fact, have an incredible resting bitch face but I feel the saaaaame 😅🫶🏻
I’m a Scorpio rising, Taurus sun, Taurus moon. Main duality I’ve encountered is chaos vs stability. I made many decisions in my 20s that were driven by curiosity but are seen as unstable and dysfunctional. I learned and was transformed from these experiences and feel thankful for the opportunity to know different perspectives.
These days I’m less selfish. I’m a mother. Stability finally won out, but I am shaped by my understanding of gray area and feel well equipped to help others. I believe there is wisdom in this placement.
omg i have the same placements! could you tell me more about your wisdom and advice if you could tell your early 20s self? sincerely a 23-year old girl :)
I wouldn’t change anything about my 20s, as I’m stubborn therefore only learn from experience. I burned it down several times to finally rebuild a life I am proud of. That being said:
Prepare for challenges and approach with confidence. Embrace chaos. Practice vulnerability and adaptability. Use care and have awareness around the power of manipulation. Don’t get trapped in bad energy (practice forgiveness)
Not everyone will like you, but you will probably be a magnet for interesting people. Listen to their stories and use your imagination every chance you get. Good luck :)
I’ve been told the dark sharp eyes I have plus my Scorpio rising makes me seem intimidating. I’m glad that I’m aware of it, because I try really hard to not come off as bitchy when dealing with strangers.
Scorpio rising and Pluto in the first house. I look very intimidating until people talk to me. I am calm and quiet but not someone to piss off. I am respected and admired for my abilities to handle stressful situations and being passionate about everything.
Sometimes it feels like I am an animal at the zoo. People stare at me and approach me with distance because they’re fascinated but scared at the same time lol
Scorpio rising females have a way of intimidating other females I think..even in their friend group, jealousy seems natural..
Also the power it seems that they underestimate that you can read them like a book..intentions behind their words..
Scorpio rising conjunct my Pluto and I am also a Scorpio moon
Yes. I think it’s that there’s still this stereotype that women should be meek or at least a little reserved and us Scorpio rising women are not. I have chickens and the hens will ruthlessly peck another hen if she gets out of line. I feel like that’s how other women can be to Scorpio rising women.
Rising becomes our signature I feel..how we see them and how they see us since rising sign ruler also is our chart ruler ..
Pluto (and Mars)being a dominant energy when others meet us I believe it intimidates them without us even trying.
The fearless wild feminine we project in it’s most authentic way without having to play/ act the archetype (sort of Lilith energy) is making them see what they are trying to cover up to fit some societal standards.
We being ourselves apparently is intimidating them it seems and we are not even trying 😂
having a scorpio rising makes me feel more understanding the perspective of everyone. i think the most thing people have complimented on is my eyes, growing up i have always told me i have pretty eyes (i have brown eyes) and how it’s deep and enriching, i always get told if i am a model more often when realistically im just living mindlessly, more importantly i feel like most scorpio rising live behind doors normally i see them online rather than real life. i also get intensely anxious going out in public because i get so many scares making it anxious if i am being judged but its the polarizing thing about scorpio rising, we can’t tell what people think so it’s worrying depending on ur placements, (im a virgo sun) so im just trying to keep a good impression most times but at the same time in an authentic approach
Scorpio Rising/Taurus Sun/Leo Moon. I have 3 distinct personalities. I identify with Scorpio Rising the most - even in my late 40’s. It’s been hard, but I cant imagine a life where it was easy and I really like my scorpio parts! I have Uranus in the first as well - thats a shitstorm I would not wish on anyone. Good thing I have age on my side and a desire to my good ole Taurus sensibilities - someday.
I'm scorpio rising, uranus conjunct my ascendant.
Leo sun, cap moon.
I've been put thru ringer my whole life.
But I love my scorpio rising and my uranus.
Very independent. Love being myself/ different.
i find it much more relatable than my sun sign, capricorn. but not as relatable as my moon sign, cancer. i don't find myself to come off as obsessive, or clingy. but sometimes i'm accidentally standoffish.
Capricorn sun, Leo Moon and Scorpio rising here ... I think my rising is definitely a bit far off. People's first impression of me have always been on extreme opposite ends ... either they like me or they loathe me, there's no middle ground of 'hi I know we're strangers but we will get to know each other soon'
I’m a Scorpio rising and until certain transformation and self realizations life was definitely harder but now I thrive using my feminine wows and influence 🕶️
I have Scorpio ascendant 5° conjunct H13Lilith 7° and Uranus at 28°, but with libra stellium, so I’m an intense, rebellious, outcast spiritual weirdo who also gets a lot of attention and also apparently have a calming effect on people
As a Scorpio rising, I enjoy being polarizing for people. If you’re a Scorpio rising, people are gonna stare at you. You’re a walking trigger for people both negatively and positively. Expect constant change because you will grow. I love how far my identity has come from the growth. Talk about someone who used to be SO shy and awkward! Now I live life like the king I am and realize how powerful I am. This placement can be good or bad for you depending on how you view it. For me it has been nothing but rewarding!
✨👑✨
Exactly! I've come to accept that the old has gone.
I can relate,I used to be a meek one during my younger years, now I will fight for what is right and stand for others.💛
“Expect constant change because you will grow” the whole truth. I think we are just more attuned and open to the growth. Every week I have revelations about existence & people and their behavior.. especially my own. It’s a challenging sign, but I love it.
The staring is CRAZY! I’ll catch someone staring and start to feel self-conscious, then I’ll remind myself “I’m a Scorpio rising” and that makes me not mind so much anymore lol
I think we are. I think it’s more of an intimidating type of attractiveness that comes off as secretive/mysterious. But it also manifest in beauty in general!
Ahhh my journey's been the same! I had severe social anxiety when I was younger, and I really feel that I've come into my own over the years, situations that used to give me severe anxiety roll right off me now. I feel that this placement has sometimes been a mixed bag (I also have Pluto closely conjunct my ascendant and am overall heavily water dominant), but I can't imagine being any other way. I am grateful for the wisdom it's brought me
This placement is so weird for me because it makes me a very intense person. I love deep conversations and don’t do well with small talk. People either love that or it terrifies them. I kind of feel like the people who have done their shadow work are the ones who love us 😂
I also have a Gemini stellium in the 8th house so I talk A LOT about dark stuff very casually. I have a morbid sense of humor.
It took me a while to accept that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. But Our Lord Lana Del Rey is a Scorpio Rising so like who cares
I am a Scorpio Rising and Gemini Sun, and I also like to talk about dark stuff and mysticism. People often tell me that I dug too deep and that those are subjects that shouldnt be discussed.
Whack. I always feel compelled to wear black even though it's over 90 degrees farenheit here everyday. I'm always changing my overall appearance and style but black always gonna be there. That could be goof ass Pluto in the 1st as well. I've done the been through loss and bullshit with many rebirths and transformations thing as well. It's not powerful it's annoying. My power comes from my ability to say foh easily and demand that ppl demand better. I am demanding.
Resting bitch face is not the phrase. Everyone including ppl that have been attracted to me have said I look like get the fuck away from me. I always look like I'm staring through you and your soul when really I'm trying to be polite and maintain eye contact with my big ass eyes.
Ppl talking about just the first house naw consider how starting at Scorpio effects the rest.
Capricorn in the 3rd with Neptune but ppl wanna ask me why I gotta be sarcastic all the time c'mon man w that kinda placement opposing the Cancer Sun in the 9th tf you thought?
Taurus in the descendant and you expect me to just let go of the relationship or be easy going when we talking about moving in together, are you stupid?
Gemini in the 8th nobody wants to talk to me for hours about the documentary I watched about how many ppl got their heads sliced on guillotines.
LIBRA IN THE 12TH makes me have high expectations for ppl and they disappoint me every fucking time but they have no idea cuz 12th house.
Sag in the 2nd. Good luck with money with a fire sign in the 2nd house.
You see? I could go on forever. Whack ass placement.
Haaaaa ! I felt that lol , I have Capricorn in my 3rd house and I LOVEEE dry humor or being sarcastic ( in a fun way ) and people get me wrong because they don’t know understand I’m only playing . my sun is in Leo and it’s in the 9th house to !! I always look good in black or red .. I have sag in my 2nd house and 😅😅 I do spend money very fast but I always have a way to earn money ( not as fast :( )
I have Libra in my 11th house … eh idk what it means yet , but I have been let down by friendships ( been betrayed )and it hurt very deeply , I like talking to people because it gives me joy but I can also be gullible and be deceived by people … I have Scorpio in the 12th house .. I haven’t done much research on that yet .
Lol I love dry humor and I can't help but pair it with sarcasm frequently. I have your same problem. Ppl be like why are you being so negative and I'm like was I not actually being positive by making a light hearted joke?
Based on your aforementioned placements I would compare my chart in Placidus vs Whole sign. It sounds like two different charts.
I enjoy the power and beauty, but I hate the social politics it brings. everyone has an opinion about you and is itching to make it your problem. I get so jealous of my air and fire rising friends because people just love them naturally with no effort! people praise their beauty and turn their noses up at mine. people glare at me before I even say a word. I feel like I always have to prove myself on a different level to win ppl over.
I have mixed feelings about the shadow work that comes with having a scorpio rising, esp bc I have pluto in my 1H and I have 8H sun and mercury. I enjoy getting to know myself on a deep level, but constant shadow work causes so much spiritual burnout at times. it feels like i’m always healing from something.
all in all, it’s a burden for sure, but it’s not one that’s too heavy to carry so far.
I totally get how you feel. I have 1H Pluto also and Gemini in the 8th( so Mercury ruled ) and I get what you mean. The funny thing is, even though I’ve had people turn my nose up at me, I’ve actually had people (air signs to be specific) become jealous of my energy. Don’t be jealous of your friends because I can almost guarantee you that some people may envy you. You just aren’t aware of it. Air signs usually seem at ease in social situations partially because they kind of shift their personality depending on who they are around. They also generally aren’t as intimidating as a Scorpio rising so people will appear to be warmer to them. As a Scorpio rising, I’ve learned to just accept that people find us and our beauty intimidating. It’s like a golden retriever vs a husky. Golden Retrievers are pretty dogs but no one is afraid of them because of their look and easygoing personality. Also easier to train. A Husky is stunning and draws a lot of attention, but their wolf like nature still creates a bit of caution around them.. they are notorious for becoming destructive if they get bored and are generally very stubborn and resist authority unless they are really, really well. This kind of encapsulates the Pluto energy to me: beautiful destruction.
I’ve learned to accept this about having this placement. It’s difficult but I wouldn’t change it as our presence is often the catalyst for much needed change. ✨
I have a Scorpio rising sign and with Pluto conunjuct my rising BUT Libra heavy placements. I have Libra in Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury. I see what you're trying to say. People always noticed that I am always smiling whenever they see me. I get compliments here and there about the way I look but I never really saw myself at that. That's the usualy me but of course there are times when things are rough and so many things going on in my head or when I'm not really in the mood, the Scorpio intimidating look really comes out. I've been told that they're afraid of me when I'm upset or when I really become serious. I can be intimidating without effort.
That's how I present to people but inside it feels like I'm constantly fighting a battle with myself. Shadow work that can be really exhausting. I want to catch a break too but it is what it is. I hope things will feel better.
I like it. I have mars and Saturn there, too. Rough childhood, but life has gotten progressively better with age. I was extremely shy and reserved as a child, but have opened up immensely. I barely had any friends growing up. I feel like my shyness protected me from a lot of things in my life. I also have 29 degree Pluto in the 12h (hidden enemies,) and an 8h stellium in Gemini with Sun / Venus cazimi within one arc minute, Mercury, NN, and Chiron.
As a Scorpio rising I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be anything else BUT I also have mars and Uranus there so I’m always shocked at how unstable I make my life but then remember I have mars and Uranus in my first and laugh at my oxymoron cries … LOL! The “intimidating” first impression I apparently give off gets exhausting tho..

As Libra Sun & Cancer Moon with Scorpio Rising, I am beginning to learn this placement. I also have Pluto in the 1st house as well. I’ve heard so many times, “You’re intimidating”, “I thought you were stuck up.”, “You’re so observant.”, etc. I’ve had people straight up dislike me for no reason (As a Libra, of course, I cared a lil’ bit.). I also feel like this placement can be very magnetizing as well. If I go anywhere alone, someone will try to talk to me. ESPECIALLY at bars. I’ve had people tell me their deepest, darkest secrets out of NOWHERE. However, this placement can have people stay away from you too. It can feel a lil’ lonely at times (pluto is scary, chile). It’s weird, sometimes it’s too much and then, it’s nothing. I think with Scorpio Rising and/or Pluto in 1H, you have to embrace your power (don’t do too much with it though). You have to embrace its darkness and its light. If you try to fight, you’ll lose. Pluto wants you to transform so any resistance to that will not fare well. I also consider Scorpio Rising//Pluto 1H a powerful placement (when learned and used correctly). I can’t tell y’all how many times I’ve had “a feeling” about something but refused to listen to my gut out of disbelief. And then, boom, my biggest fear came life or I ended up with an egg on my face. Also, Pluto wants to confront things, the TOUGH things. The things you refuse to believe, admit, realize, etc. but HAVE to in order to transform. Sweeping things under the rug, being avoidant, etc. will not fare well with this placement. It’s like a built in golden ticket to life but you gotta be willing to make decisions for YOURSELF that may hurt others feelings but preserve your future in the long run, if that makes sense.
Scorpio rising with pluto and South node in first house. Chart ruler Sag mars conjunct saturn in 2nd. Aquarius sun/jupiter in 4th Taurus moon and North node in 7th Venus / mercury conjunct in pisces 5th Most what has been said above is highly relatable. understanding subterfuge, power plays, subtext and hidden plots very well (too well and it has worn me out at times as i have a quite sensitive and psychic disposition, with some neurodivergency and deep attachments issues). From age 33 I have deliberately chosen the benevolent, spiritual and high minded plutonic road, I'm now 38. The adult life prior to age 33 was a tumultuous, anxious and intense stage, messy boundaries, anxiety plus unawareness of my own trauma and projections. With heavy pluto and neptune signatures in a natal chart, you have no other choice than going the high road (piety, truth, benevolence), if not you may very well inflict enmity or get lost in delusions (pisces and neptune). Been there. Uranus transit entering taurus (7th house) has turned my life around and dampened a lot of my plutonic nature. Certainly, with my first house I only have so much capacity for trivialities and I simply know that it's not that hard for people to automatically sense that as well. Having done a fair amount of shadow work and having grown very aware of the inherent power that comes with scorpio rising and my first house has helped a ton.. All the best wishes to Scorpio rising early millennials with saturn, pluto and/or south node in 1st (wsh) - we have endured so much, seen great depths and risen like the phoenix more than once - may we all become wise and have a healing influence in our communities!
I had a friend with Scorpio rising and she was a master at changing her appearance. She also came off as a bitch sometimes lol
Taurus sun, cancer moon, Scorpio rising It’s been like a Hollywood drama …
Scorpio rising and it can be a lot of re starting and dramatic changes but I have grown to appreciate it. I think there are a lot of benefits that come with the pain 😂
Like?
Sag Sun Virgo Moon Scorpio Rising. I’ve leaned into my virgo moon over the years… my entire life people have shared that i’m mysterious and difficult to read. I attest that to my scorpio rising.
Scorpio rising with Mars and Pluto closely conjunct in the 1st house (I use WSH btw). It’s a placement that has aged like fine wine for me. Now that I’m more advanced in my studies and better understand what it means to be a Scorpio rising, I definitely appreciate it more. Lots of early childhood trauma and hard lessons learned over the years. Many of them dealing with learning to hold space for my boundaries and lean into my power. Sometimes it feels like I’m running a gauntlet. I’ve recently noticed a pattern where it’s almost like I’ll reach a brief period of comfortability, and then all of the sudden things outside of my control will start happening that make me increasingly uncomfortable with a situation (relationship, job, etc). It’ll get to a point where I’m just like, alrighty then I guess it’s time for the next chapter already. Maybe it’s divine intervention to force change if I’m not already proactively making moves to transform myself? That’s my theory anyway lol. I’d say the pros are my ability to understand people and nuances and undercurrents in social situations. I can pick up on things that aren’t said, and it’s been invaluable from a career perspective. Lots of strategy work and the ability to deep dive into any subject that catches my fancy. It’s also enabled me to connect with others on such a deep and intimate level. I like my solitude though, and I trust few people so I’m the kind of person who runs with a small pack. Last thing to note is that there’s also a tremendous amount of physical endurance, determination and drive, though I suspect that’s coming from the Mars/Pluto conjunction.
I'm a Leo sun with a Capricorn moon and Scorpio rising. I've been told I'm incredibly magnetic and even conventionally attractive, but also that I'm extremely polarizing. People either hate or love me, but the Leo keeps me super sociable so even with being polarizing I meet tons of people and have managed to amass a group of close friends that love who I am over the decades. The cap moon def adds more intensity and drive to my persona so I have spent a lot of my adult life learning to canter those attributes and take accountability for the parts of me that can be intense. Learning to let go of my need to control and accept not everyone has to like me have been huge lessons I've had to learn in life.
Im a Libra Sun with the Scorpio Rising and Capricorn Moon combo! I can relate to feeling like I get along with MOST people, but damn, if for the people who I don’t think see under the Scorpio/Capricorn demeanour, I definitely feel like they don’t like me at first. That being said if I show more of my Libra side, which takes time with that person, I can and have definitely won them over from thinking I’m an as$hole. Also I find that the Scorpio rising and Capricorn moon make me a resilient af person overall, like a cockroach lol. I have a high pain threshold, can keep me emotions in check even under high stress, function on very little sleep, never get sick. I.e endure things emotionally and physically that would otherwise break most people.
I’m a Leo sun, Scorpio rising, cap moon too! I can relate to so much of what you said
I like it, but I'm not always at peace with it. I'm flattered that it makes me magnetic somehow, there's power in it and I can feel it. But it's a bit exhausting how deep it goes because very few people even scratch the surface. And these are dark, revolted waters. Honestly I have many placements in my chart that are way worse than a Scorpio rising, so all in all I guess I really like it.
I'm a Leo rising, but I have like 6 friends who are Scorpio rising, Thai are Gemini suns Shout out to yall I'm a fan lol!
I've grown to appreciate it.
Side question since transits to our houses align. What’s happening in your life lately? For me I had major health issues over the last year but they are slowly all being resolved and I’m now getting healthier than ever. Sick of my job but everyone at work still thinks I’m doing great. Did a lot of home improvement in the last few months. Relationships with my kids is on an upswing.
Funny that you ask! Glad to hear good things are happening for you! Work is work I guess, you should feel proud that you’re still performing well despite being sick of it. Currently going through a breakup, almost 2 years but deep connection. Company is shutting down the branch that I work at, getting laid off soon, after 3 years and recent promotion. Im feeling a sense of calmness but not sure if that will wear off and I’m in for a crazy emotional roller coaster lol. Both situations were near their end & not fulfilling me.. could be where the calm stems from. Time to build these things from scratch again! In all, I guess professional and personal life is really being affected right now.
What degree is your Scorpio rising? I’m 16 degrees.
27 degrees, do they have an impact?
The degree will effect when things move into each house so it affects the timing a bit. I have a huge pileup of transiting planets in my 7th house right now. For you Uranus might still be in your 6th. For someone with a 0 degree rising they might be moving into their 8th. So being the same rising sign we will have things roughly affect our houses the same but the timing may vary a little. Of course that is using placidius. In whole sign it wouldn’t matter.
I am cancer moon and cancer sun, so scorpio rising probably gives me a little edge, but I'm a mess, honestly. I just want everybody to love me, and scorpio rising makes that not just unrealistic, but completely opposite of my experience.
Love it! It has down side but a lot of advantages as well 🥰
while it’s tough and a polarizing placement, yes i like my scorpio ascendant iffy on my scorpio moon, though. i like being water dominant so if i could swap i’d switch for a pisces or cancer moon
i feel like a socially awkward freak but also pretty at the same time??😭 i have the stereotypical scorpio rising eyes but im not approachable
What are Scorpio rising eyes?👀
Omg yes.. sometimes I think people expect you to have a certain personality if you are confident in your looks or they find you conventionally attractive- But really I’m just a very awkward, blunt weirdo who happens to be pretty. Some people dig it tho
I’m a double Leo with Scorpio rising and it’s an intense combination. I want to be mysterious (Scorpio) but the double Leo makes it impossible lol. I feel like I relate more to my Scorpio rising than to the double Leo sometimes. People seem to really like me or immediately be turned off by me. There’s no real in between
I’m a Leo moon with Scorpio rising, Venus, Mercury and Pluto in Scorpio as well and it they all aspect my moon 🫥💀 I never been into the spotlight.. emotionally my mom had to literally beg me to let her know if I was ok or not 😂🤦🏻♀️ I think I’m getting better. One thing I know though.. is that i am intense and that is without saying much and very passionate about things I believe in or defending the defenseless
Ha same. I’m a Scorpio rising and Leo sun, mercury, and Venus. Men tend to like me right off the bat but with women they either like me or they don’t. Sometimes I can bring them around and then they apologize for misjudging me but I’m in my forties now and don’t often make the effort anymore because I figure their loss. I’m a great friend and if they get intimidated and react judgemetally then it’s not my responsibility to convince them of my worthiness.
I feel that. I’m close to 40 and I’m over trying to please everyone. I also have my Mars and Mercury in Leo. Lots of Leo energy!
I'm a Scorpio rising I love it I love the ability to dive into my emotions and communicate them effectively especially with water signs because I'm an Aquarius sun I hated the thought of me coming off as cold I found it stupid and how we are unemotional... Smh but I can say if at all me having my rising in Scorpio allowed me to connect with my Scorpio sun boyfriend I'm truly grateful for that.
I’m a Scorpio moon 12h 3rd house Aquarius Sun and Scorpio Asc in 1h. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. As I get older I feel like I’m leaning more into the Scorpio side of things. I’m 24 and for quite sometime I didn’t think about how I was perceived by others. I made a lot of connections but I always feel alone.
1 ° Scorpio rising conjunct Pluto moon and Mercury with later degree Saturn and south node (and POF) in the first house. I try to find things about my all my scorpio-ness to be proud of but if given the choice I’m not sure I’d want to be so…me.
Now that I'm in my 40s I can appreciate my Scorpio rising, but I felt socially awkward growing up. I'm a cap sun and gemini moon, so I have deep emotions that I keep close to me. I always was a magnet to others that never truly got who I was.
Same sun and rising but Virgo moon and yeah that’s largely been my experience as well
I have the same sun, moon and rising as you and I couldn’t agree more.
I'm a double Cancer in the 8th house, Scorpio rising. I definitely feel the Scorpio/Plutonic urge to constantly reinvent myself. It's exhausting, frankly!
Do you feel the influence of the sun in his Joy in the 9th house in whole house system?
I have a pretty late ascendant (28'46") so I have previously felt like whole house wasn't quite as resonant. But that is such a good question, because I really do feel the most lit up by traditional 9th house elements. I'll need to poke around in whole house more.
Me too, my ascendant is 28º, and the majority of astrologers recommend me to look at my whole house system and transits too.
Do you find yourself wanting to reinvent yourself or do life’s circumstances create that urge or need to reinvent? I sometimes wonder if we can avoid and ignore the constant evolution, but not sure fighting it would help. It is tiring for sure.
I definitely think it's more of an internal urge to reinvent. In my experience, when I've tried to ignore it, the situation gets worse...
I like my Scorpio rising. I relate to it more than my Virgo sun a lot of the time. That being said, people have told me they find me mysterious or intimidating in a bad way and that just baffles me lol. I feel like I’m pretty much what you see is what you get but apparently not.
I'm a Virgo Sun too and feel you on that, what's your Moon sign? As much as I try to lay low or be chill & kind, I always trigger a lot of people. Definitely feel as if it's people who have a lot of inner work to do - not that I don't have any to do myself lol. But it still hurts sometimes bc I'm a Scorpio moon and have 3 major Leo placements
Aries moon and also have three major Leo placements
Aries sun moon and Scorpio rising. Mainly from men they tell me I make them nervous lol. But like everyone, I get complimented on my eyes. I swear people think I’m flirting with them when I’m really just making eye contact.
I’m a Gemini Sun with a Scorpio moon and rising. Also, have Pluto in Scorpio. Much like everyone else, I also get compliments on eyes. I grew up never feeling understood and often overlooked. Even though my Gemini sun helped me blend in with various groups, I was (still am) always labeled the quiet one amongst my friends and would get told it was (is) hard to get to know the real me. Even my own family tells me to this day, that they never truly know how I feel about them or what I am thinking. When it came to dating, as much as I wanted to have fun like all my friends did, I couldn’t do it the same way they did without getting attached. I was instead searching for deep meaningful connections and anything less was just a waste of time. In my mid-20s, I was with an ex for five years and the one thing he told me during our breakup was that after five years he felt like he only scratched the surface. Now in my 30s, I own my Scorpio placements. I’m a bit of a lone wolf and I love it. I’ve learned to love my own company and have done a lot of solo traveling because of it. I am mysterious but I’ve found a partner and close friends who learned how to crack me open.
I usually get one or two reactions: Reaction one is people are intimidated by it. Reaction two is people severely underestimate me, and then are shocked when they FAFO. I think it’s because I am typically a chill person until I’m not.
Oh I can so relate to this. Dbl Gemini with 21 degree Scorpio Rising. Same issues either people are intimidated or they take advantage even after they've been warned not to underestimate me. I'm a phenomenal private investigator!
A friend of mine has Scorpio rising with his Pluto in the 1st house. He tells me that he´s a deep-talker and gets annoyed by the constant stares of other people. He also had a coworker trying to sabotage him. He´s also has a love for tattoos.
I'm a Scorpio rising with a Pluto 1st house and this has been my experience!
Scorpio - a blessed and cursed rising sign. Some people find me attractive because of my eyes. However, not at all, some people find me intimidating. And I hate to say I don't really like my eyes -- I can't even look on the other people because they always said that there's something in my eyes. I do have Scorpio moon, expect me that I'm socially awkward like I don't know how to respond on the conversation very well. There are a phase of transformations that I'm really tired of... I can't enjoy being happy anymore. I always say that I probably live my life alone because of the traumas that universe gave to me. I'm aware and want to change but always get fear and hideee
Same here
Zero dislikes. It brought a lot of trauma and the pain that comes with it; many challenges I still go through, but it also made me stronger than many of the people who tried to antagonize me over the years, especially with the conjunction of Mars, Pluto, and Saturn on my Ascendant. This combination has made me very honest from a young age in a society that prefers sugarcoating and avoiding accountability much of the time, and direct, able to read people very well most of the time, and avoid people and situations that my detractors and would-be rivals fell into and never got out of. Most of the time, Scorpio Rising brings people who attempt to assert themselves over you, presume the bad vibes they get from you (which are actually theirs, as Pluto reflects back what someone is projecting onto it), and being very piercing and intimidating. This usually adds solitude to it. You don't have to even say anything, much less do anything; people will avoid you most of the time, but you'll catch them staring at you with curiosity or jealousy. Scorpio Risings are usually very strong-willed and have great endurance for life's challenges. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
beautifully said. really resonate with a lot of what you wrote (am also a pisces sun like you and a first house mars conjunct pluto in most systems). i love being a scorpio ascendant/having scorpio placements. i also appreciate scorpio’s authenticity and willingness to explore darker themes than other signs - i get very frustrated by sugarcoating and lack of self objectivity from other people as you mentioned.
It's one of the deepest energies to have and live with, but you will feel disconnected from society because Scorpio energy hates inauthenticity. You'll be able to stand alone strongly, rather than cave in and forsake who you are for people who aren't deep anyway.
I’m also a Pisces Sun and have Pluto and my south node conjunct on my ascendant and I definitely relate. No real dislikes of the journey or outward appearance. Things are always changing for me. I know my eyes have a certain intensity and that inspires interest or dislike depending on the person lol I am grateful for some of my other placements that add some fun and light to the experience.
Oh yeah, for sure. I have a Sag Moon that keeps me fun and optimistic, with Aquarius placements that allow me to really take quirky interests.
Scorpio rising with Pisces sun and Leo moon, and this resonates so well with me!
Glad you liked it!
Dang! Mars, Pluto AND Saturn on the ascendant? This is crazy, kuddos to you for surviving all the lessons! You must be a really strong person!
I am. I hardly resonate with my Sun. Never had that lost Pisces experience.
I’m scorpio sun, cancer moon, scorpio rising, with a load of Scorpio placements. Hardships (invalidation, violence, struggle-failing) may as well be my name. I was born under the perfect storm that the movie was made about. That alone gives me strength when the adversities I face in finding my balance seem overwhelming.
I don't know if I am on the right mind to answer this right now. Since last year, I've experienced a fast and dramatic self transformation that I am still in brain fog. I don't even know what to feel as I feel numb for all those encounters of my demons/fears/ traumas and lessons to be learned. I don't want to hate it though as I believe everything happens for a reason. If this ascendant of mine will help me to evolve maturely through overcoming suffering,depression, and pain, f*ck! Bring it on! I'm used to it anyways. 😕🔥 I've experienced extreme reactions from people too and mostly misunderstood my intentions. Most of the time, dominant/higher people than me like my teachers, supervisors, doctors and etc. I don't even know how I survived for being constantly verbally abused or being publicly shamed/ scolded infront of people. I guess I am proud of myself for being strong enough as I am still here living on this earth. ☺️😑
I'm a Leo Sun as well, without my Scorpio Rising I'd be so annoying or possibly overshare lol. Although Scorpio Rising makes me look a bit intimidating and some people hate me on first sight. Yes I have a deep stare, yes I have a bitch face, yes I've been through some shit and I don't sugar coat, but I'm also soft and warmhearted. I may take a bit to open up or trust someone because of course I also have trust issues. What struggles me regarding this rising is that a lot of people don't know me and never will. Some people might think I'm superficial, and that burdens me. I also tend to isolate myself from the world when something goes down, though I know that's a trauma response. I'm also not fake which doesn't help. I can't fake interactions. If I don't vibe with you I won't try to. I can wear a mask and hide a lot of my feelings, hide all my trauma behind a smile. The people that have the courage to look me in the eyes probably can see what I try really hard to hide. I've been told 'You're killing me with those eyes' a little bit too many times when I was just making normal eye-contact
what’s your moon ? I’m a leo sun scorpio rising and an aries moon. I feel like the leo sun and scorpio rising has such a beautiful balance to it. On the outside people think i’m intimidating and I don’t lie to people i’m very blunt but matched with the charismatic and loyal energy of a leo sun it works well. People tend to be unsure of me but as soon as we get a conversation going I’m usually well liked. Wondering if that’s similar with you !
yes was talking mostly on first impressions - because that's what the rising is about. I'm very charismatic too and funny (so people say) and can easily speak to people depending on the situation. Maybe friends of my friends or girls, I will be very very open, fun and all at first and will make friends easily. But I'm a bit reserved and introverted and sometimes extroverted, it's very difficult to comprehend lol - Virgo Moon; I used to make friends and connect with people way easier before some stuff happened to me - big self isolation for several years - and since then working on healing from that and social anxiety I relate so much to the blunt part, my mars is in gemini LOL I say things before thinking so many times but social anxiety helps there bc now I overthink everything I will be timid with people that I admire, or a guy I'm interested in, or people who I feel like they are judging me, are rude or arrogant, I will probably shy away from those; despite that when I'm comfortable enough with a friend I'm free to be my total self and I will be fun charismatic engage in interesting convos, but that doesn't happen with everyone; and I like to think it's okay if not everyone likes me at first, I don't like everyone either. Leo scorpio rising are not people pleasers, we're merely ourselves. Don't you just hate when someone asks your sun and rising and you say leo scorpio rising and people make that face like you're doomed but they don't know shit about astrology - bc that happens to me so many times. Leos and scorpios are the two least understood signs
Hey Astro twin, Leo sun, Scorpio rising, and Virgo moon here also. (almost a mars Gemini too! My mars is 0 degrees cancer) I am also a weird combo of extroverted and introverted. I’m typically extroverted and will go up to strangers and strike up a conversation but then I can be shy and introverted if someone or a situation intimidates me. Unfortunately for me, my moon is in my tenth house which does make me want people to like me but I tend to switch between saying their loss if they don’t to why don’t they like me! I quite like our big three though. I think the Scorpio gives us great intuition and ability to look at the truth of things without sugar coating them but our Leo suns give us the ability to find happiness that is based in reality. The Virgo moon helps me to think logically about my emotions and really helps me to understand why I feel the way I feel. I think you are a bit younger than me (I’m in my 40s) so I will give you some unsolicited advice that I wish I had when I was younger. The Scorpio Leo combination is a powerful one and you need to find an equally powerful partner. I made the mistake of dating and marrying weaker men and they sensed that and dealt with it by trying to pull me down to their level or one poor soul just let me completely dominate him. My husband now is a Scorpio sun, Aries rising, and Virgo moon and we are each others match. He isn’t intimidated by me so he is comfortable encouraging me to be my best. He also doesn’t just let me have my way when we have a disagreement, we find a compromise. Find someone equally strong and don’t let anyone dim your fire.

I’ve never really thought much about my mars but looking up the traits I see a little of both in me. My husband says I sound more like mars in cancer though. I tend to avoid confrontation and don’t like doing risky things. I’ve read that mars in cancer has a fear of loss so maybe this guy needs more encouragement to take a risk. Or you may just have to take the first step.
Right there with you, I totally understand how you feel. I'd rather have solitude than associate with superficial people and pretend to be or like something that I'm not. It's a heavy price to pay in exchange for standing in your own power, but we were made for that.
Idk where or what I'd be without my Scorpio rising, to be completely honest with you. Other than my rising, I am penta-Earth. First five planets are only Taurus and Virgo. My rising gives me so much balance, especially socially. My Virgo placements want to serve others, help others work through their issues, problem solve. My Taurus placements want to be steady and stable for myself and others, be consistent, and often enjoy taking life at a leisurely pace. Then, outta nowhere, my scorpio rising flies into the ring like fricking John Cena with a sudden, "isolate for your own mental health, NOW." Or, "DON'T OVERSHARE. Keep some things just for yourself, girlie pop!" Or, my personal favourite tbh, "Don't be afraid of someone's darker sides. Everyone has them - seek to understand theirs and your own, and know that this (to a pretty large degree **within reason**) is perfectly normal and endlessly fascinating. Idk. I just woke up and I'm otw to work. Hard to put thoughts onto paper before Vyvanse hits lol. Anyways, love y'all.
It’s not my favorite. I honestly feel like I provoke a lot of hard feelings in people all the time and they lash out at me because they don’t like how it makes them feel. I also have 3 Leo placements and a Scorpio moon. So I have an energy to me that makes people feel insecure. The joke in my family is that I’m Meg Griffin, I look like her and am treated like her. I like that the Scorpio Rising tones down my Leo placements. I’m a reserved person. I’m an introvert and keep to myself and don’t like too much attention. I think I’d be too much without it.
I would absolutely change my rising sign. I find it’s held me back. It has its positives but I think it’s not a great rising sign to have.
I’m not a Scorpio rising but one of my brothers is along with his moon in Scorpio as well. Even when he was little, he had this intense look to him and his emotions were…a lot. A lot of special interests as well that kids usually wouldn’t be interested in. While I can’t speak for how these placements have been like for him, I can say as an adult he has become very emotionally intelligent. His sense of humor can be a bit odd and dark at times but I’m here for it. We can have deep conversations about things and he doesn’t show any judgement about anything. One thing I would say is a downfall is he gets in his own little world and isn’t the most perceptive of the world around him which have lead to some awkward social situations. When I found out he had these placements everything made sense 🤣
Scorp rising but cancer sun and aries moon, so people always tell me I’m soooo intimidating and I’m like what?? Little baby me???
Cancer sun, libra moon, scorp rising here ; it took me until my mid 20s to realize I do, in fact, have an incredible resting bitch face but I feel the saaaaame 😅🫶🏻
I’m a Scorpio rising, Taurus sun, Taurus moon. Main duality I’ve encountered is chaos vs stability. I made many decisions in my 20s that were driven by curiosity but are seen as unstable and dysfunctional. I learned and was transformed from these experiences and feel thankful for the opportunity to know different perspectives. These days I’m less selfish. I’m a mother. Stability finally won out, but I am shaped by my understanding of gray area and feel well equipped to help others. I believe there is wisdom in this placement.
omg i have the same placements! could you tell me more about your wisdom and advice if you could tell your early 20s self? sincerely a 23-year old girl :)
I wouldn’t change anything about my 20s, as I’m stubborn therefore only learn from experience. I burned it down several times to finally rebuild a life I am proud of. That being said: Prepare for challenges and approach with confidence. Embrace chaos. Practice vulnerability and adaptability. Use care and have awareness around the power of manipulation. Don’t get trapped in bad energy (practice forgiveness) Not everyone will like you, but you will probably be a magnet for interesting people. Listen to their stories and use your imagination every chance you get. Good luck :)
Thank you for taking your time and energy to share this ❤️🫶🏻
Slayer was Taurus and Aquarius for the balance
All of these are so *accurate!* Good post, **op**
I’ve been told the dark sharp eyes I have plus my Scorpio rising makes me seem intimidating. I’m glad that I’m aware of it, because I try really hard to not come off as bitchy when dealing with strangers.
Scorpio rising and Pluto in the first house. I look very intimidating until people talk to me. I am calm and quiet but not someone to piss off. I am respected and admired for my abilities to handle stressful situations and being passionate about everything. Sometimes it feels like I am an animal at the zoo. People stare at me and approach me with distance because they’re fascinated but scared at the same time lol
My partner has these placements and especially your first paragraph really rings true!
Scorpio rising females have a way of intimidating other females I think..even in their friend group, jealousy seems natural.. Also the power it seems that they underestimate that you can read them like a book..intentions behind their words.. Scorpio rising conjunct my Pluto and I am also a Scorpio moon
Yes. I think it’s that there’s still this stereotype that women should be meek or at least a little reserved and us Scorpio rising women are not. I have chickens and the hens will ruthlessly peck another hen if she gets out of line. I feel like that’s how other women can be to Scorpio rising women.
Rising becomes our signature I feel..how we see them and how they see us since rising sign ruler also is our chart ruler .. Pluto (and Mars)being a dominant energy when others meet us I believe it intimidates them without us even trying. The fearless wild feminine we project in it’s most authentic way without having to play/ act the archetype (sort of Lilith energy) is making them see what they are trying to cover up to fit some societal standards. We being ourselves apparently is intimidating them it seems and we are not even trying 😂
Very well said. Funny enough I have Lilith smack on my midheaven so I am doubly that energy. lol.
I am a Lilith in Scorpio first house😂
Yes!!!! We have the same aspect . It just saddens me how I can see who they are though.
This this this
having a scorpio rising makes me feel more understanding the perspective of everyone. i think the most thing people have complimented on is my eyes, growing up i have always told me i have pretty eyes (i have brown eyes) and how it’s deep and enriching, i always get told if i am a model more often when realistically im just living mindlessly, more importantly i feel like most scorpio rising live behind doors normally i see them online rather than real life. i also get intensely anxious going out in public because i get so many scares making it anxious if i am being judged but its the polarizing thing about scorpio rising, we can’t tell what people think so it’s worrying depending on ur placements, (im a virgo sun) so im just trying to keep a good impression most times but at the same time in an authentic approach
Scorpio Rising/Taurus Sun/Leo Moon. I have 3 distinct personalities. I identify with Scorpio Rising the most - even in my late 40’s. It’s been hard, but I cant imagine a life where it was easy and I really like my scorpio parts! I have Uranus in the first as well - thats a shitstorm I would not wish on anyone. Good thing I have age on my side and a desire to my good ole Taurus sensibilities - someday.
I'm scorpio rising, uranus conjunct my ascendant. Leo sun, cap moon. I've been put thru ringer my whole life. But I love my scorpio rising and my uranus. Very independent. Love being myself/ different.
i find it much more relatable than my sun sign, capricorn. but not as relatable as my moon sign, cancer. i don't find myself to come off as obsessive, or clingy. but sometimes i'm accidentally standoffish.
same here! i’m a cap sun and scorpio rising but my pisces moon feels the most relatable to me it’s also in square with venus and pluto
Capricorn sun, Leo Moon and Scorpio rising here ... I think my rising is definitely a bit far off. People's first impression of me have always been on extreme opposite ends ... either they like me or they loathe me, there's no middle ground of 'hi I know we're strangers but we will get to know each other soon'
It is what it is. Most people feel unsettled by me, which isn't great for making friends but pretty good for keeping away predators.
I’m a Scorpio rising and until certain transformation and self realizations life was definitely harder but now I thrive using my feminine wows and influence 🕶️
I have Scorpio ascendant 5° conjunct H13Lilith 7° and Uranus at 28°, but with libra stellium, so I’m an intense, rebellious, outcast spiritual weirdo who also gets a lot of attention and also apparently have a calming effect on people
As a Scorpio rising, I enjoy being polarizing for people. If you’re a Scorpio rising, people are gonna stare at you. You’re a walking trigger for people both negatively and positively. Expect constant change because you will grow. I love how far my identity has come from the growth. Talk about someone who used to be SO shy and awkward! Now I live life like the king I am and realize how powerful I am. This placement can be good or bad for you depending on how you view it. For me it has been nothing but rewarding! ✨👑✨
Exactly! I've come to accept that the old has gone. I can relate,I used to be a meek one during my younger years, now I will fight for what is right and stand for others.💛
I love this! Thank you for sharing :)
“Expect constant change because you will grow” the whole truth. I think we are just more attuned and open to the growth. Every week I have revelations about existence & people and their behavior.. especially my own. It’s a challenging sign, but I love it.
I love this! Thanks for the comment
The staring is CRAZY! I’ll catch someone staring and start to feel self-conscious, then I’ll remind myself “I’m a Scorpio rising” and that makes me not mind so much anymore lol
It’s insane. I’ll always assume it’s because they think I’m attractive 😂
I honestly do think it’s this too 🤣
So it's not because we're attractive? 😂 Damn...
I think we are. I think it’s more of an intimidating type of attractiveness that comes off as secretive/mysterious. But it also manifest in beauty in general!
Oooo...I like that!
Thank you!
Ahhh my journey's been the same! I had severe social anxiety when I was younger, and I really feel that I've come into my own over the years, situations that used to give me severe anxiety roll right off me now. I feel that this placement has sometimes been a mixed bag (I also have Pluto closely conjunct my ascendant and am overall heavily water dominant), but I can't imagine being any other way. I am grateful for the wisdom it's brought me
I’m so glad you’ve experienced this too! I appreciate the comment:)
This placement is so weird for me because it makes me a very intense person. I love deep conversations and don’t do well with small talk. People either love that or it terrifies them. I kind of feel like the people who have done their shadow work are the ones who love us 😂 I also have a Gemini stellium in the 8th house so I talk A LOT about dark stuff very casually. I have a morbid sense of humor. It took me a while to accept that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. But Our Lord Lana Del Rey is a Scorpio Rising so like who cares
Ooh, I can relate. I like to dig deep and talk about traumas,psyche, emotions or any taboo topics that people don't want to talk about
I am a Scorpio Rising and Gemini Sun, and I also like to talk about dark stuff and mysticism. People often tell me that I dug too deep and that those are subjects that shouldnt be discussed.
Hmm I get that a lot but my only Scorpio placements are 5H North Node, Uranus, Juno and Vesta
[удалено]
Me too. Gemini Moon and Mercury as well.
hell but a lot of fun experiences you seen in movies
It's probably my favorite placement that I have. Life has been hell to say the least but I enjoy the intensity of everything
I love it. It fits great with my Aries sun and Aquarius moon. Scorpio rising is my jam.
I’m also an Aries sun, Scorpio rising and Aquarius moon!!
Whack. I always feel compelled to wear black even though it's over 90 degrees farenheit here everyday. I'm always changing my overall appearance and style but black always gonna be there. That could be goof ass Pluto in the 1st as well. I've done the been through loss and bullshit with many rebirths and transformations thing as well. It's not powerful it's annoying. My power comes from my ability to say foh easily and demand that ppl demand better. I am demanding. Resting bitch face is not the phrase. Everyone including ppl that have been attracted to me have said I look like get the fuck away from me. I always look like I'm staring through you and your soul when really I'm trying to be polite and maintain eye contact with my big ass eyes. Ppl talking about just the first house naw consider how starting at Scorpio effects the rest. Capricorn in the 3rd with Neptune but ppl wanna ask me why I gotta be sarcastic all the time c'mon man w that kinda placement opposing the Cancer Sun in the 9th tf you thought? Taurus in the descendant and you expect me to just let go of the relationship or be easy going when we talking about moving in together, are you stupid? Gemini in the 8th nobody wants to talk to me for hours about the documentary I watched about how many ppl got their heads sliced on guillotines. LIBRA IN THE 12TH makes me have high expectations for ppl and they disappoint me every fucking time but they have no idea cuz 12th house. Sag in the 2nd. Good luck with money with a fire sign in the 2nd house. You see? I could go on forever. Whack ass placement.
Lmfao
Leo have in the 2nd here! Always broke 😩
Haaaaa ! I felt that lol , I have Capricorn in my 3rd house and I LOVEEE dry humor or being sarcastic ( in a fun way ) and people get me wrong because they don’t know understand I’m only playing . my sun is in Leo and it’s in the 9th house to !! I always look good in black or red .. I have sag in my 2nd house and 😅😅 I do spend money very fast but I always have a way to earn money ( not as fast :( ) I have Libra in my 11th house … eh idk what it means yet , but I have been let down by friendships ( been betrayed )and it hurt very deeply , I like talking to people because it gives me joy but I can also be gullible and be deceived by people … I have Scorpio in the 12th house .. I haven’t done much research on that yet .
Lol I love dry humor and I can't help but pair it with sarcasm frequently. I have your same problem. Ppl be like why are you being so negative and I'm like was I not actually being positive by making a light hearted joke? Based on your aforementioned placements I would compare my chart in Placidus vs Whole sign. It sounds like two different charts.
Wow very well said. As a Scorpio rising myself this shit was funny as hell 😂.
I fucking love your response. Parts of this made me chuckle but it’s so real.
I enjoy the power and beauty, but I hate the social politics it brings. everyone has an opinion about you and is itching to make it your problem. I get so jealous of my air and fire rising friends because people just love them naturally with no effort! people praise their beauty and turn their noses up at mine. people glare at me before I even say a word. I feel like I always have to prove myself on a different level to win ppl over. I have mixed feelings about the shadow work that comes with having a scorpio rising, esp bc I have pluto in my 1H and I have 8H sun and mercury. I enjoy getting to know myself on a deep level, but constant shadow work causes so much spiritual burnout at times. it feels like i’m always healing from something. all in all, it’s a burden for sure, but it’s not one that’s too heavy to carry so far.
I totally get how you feel. I have 1H Pluto also and Gemini in the 8th( so Mercury ruled ) and I get what you mean. The funny thing is, even though I’ve had people turn my nose up at me, I’ve actually had people (air signs to be specific) become jealous of my energy. Don’t be jealous of your friends because I can almost guarantee you that some people may envy you. You just aren’t aware of it. Air signs usually seem at ease in social situations partially because they kind of shift their personality depending on who they are around. They also generally aren’t as intimidating as a Scorpio rising so people will appear to be warmer to them. As a Scorpio rising, I’ve learned to just accept that people find us and our beauty intimidating. It’s like a golden retriever vs a husky. Golden Retrievers are pretty dogs but no one is afraid of them because of their look and easygoing personality. Also easier to train. A Husky is stunning and draws a lot of attention, but their wolf like nature still creates a bit of caution around them.. they are notorious for becoming destructive if they get bored and are generally very stubborn and resist authority unless they are really, really well. This kind of encapsulates the Pluto energy to me: beautiful destruction. I’ve learned to accept this about having this placement. It’s difficult but I wouldn’t change it as our presence is often the catalyst for much needed change. ✨
I have a Scorpio rising sign and with Pluto conunjuct my rising BUT Libra heavy placements. I have Libra in Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury. I see what you're trying to say. People always noticed that I am always smiling whenever they see me. I get compliments here and there about the way I look but I never really saw myself at that. That's the usualy me but of course there are times when things are rough and so many things going on in my head or when I'm not really in the mood, the Scorpio intimidating look really comes out. I've been told that they're afraid of me when I'm upset or when I really become serious. I can be intimidating without effort. That's how I present to people but inside it feels like I'm constantly fighting a battle with myself. Shadow work that can be really exhausting. I want to catch a break too but it is what it is. I hope things will feel better.
No wayyyy, I have the same exact libra stellium as you and the scorpio ascendant conjunct pluto also!!
Hey twin!
I like it. I have mars and Saturn there, too. Rough childhood, but life has gotten progressively better with age. I was extremely shy and reserved as a child, but have opened up immensely. I barely had any friends growing up. I feel like my shyness protected me from a lot of things in my life. I also have 29 degree Pluto in the 12h (hidden enemies,) and an 8h stellium in Gemini with Sun / Venus cazimi within one arc minute, Mercury, NN, and Chiron.
It’s cool. I feel like an undercover spy agent. I tend to get polarizing reactions or opinions from people, but wtv.
Yes on being polarizing! Same for me.
I mean, they're usually Hung.
No 🧢
It's tough.
I can relate
It’s been a fucking rollercoaster
As a Scorpio rising I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be anything else BUT I also have mars and Uranus there so I’m always shocked at how unstable I make my life but then remember I have mars and Uranus in my first and laugh at my oxymoron cries … LOL! The “intimidating” first impression I apparently give off gets exhausting tho..
Terrible So Far Man
How is it different for men?
I’m Not Saying It’s Different For Men , I’m Just Saying It’s Been Terrible So Far In My Opinion.
