Joey: "How YOU doin'!

Yo baby, talk to me, what's your sign?"
Michele: "Well, I'm technically by Sun sign, a Taurus but I have a Gemini Rising with a Sag. Moon and a...."
Joey: "hold up,..your confusin' me heh-heh! What's wit the "rising sign" jazz?"
Joey's eyes begin to spin around in his head...too many facts coming at him at one time!

The Rising Sign (and all of US have one!) is the sign that appeared to be rising over the eastern horizon the moment we drew our first breath...

Your Rising Sign is sometimes the same as your Sun sign but more often than not, it's different. And that is why some of you out there read your Sun sign and say,..."That doesn't SOUND LIKE ME AT ALL!" That's because you might be at the tail end of that Sun sign and at the beginning of another, degree wise and your Rising Sign may be totally different, giving you a totally different shading if you will! And then you take other things in an astrological chart in consideration and the results can sometimes really blow your mind!
Here's an example of someone's chart!

I know what you're saying...WTF? But the trained astrologer can read it and make sense of it! It's like a different language isn't it!
Your Rising Sign is like the portal you see the world through!

For example, you might be a Cancer, all soft and warm, family loving and fuzzy right? BUT if you have Aries Rising, you might not be AS warm, fuzzy, family oriented as the next Cancer. Or you might be a Leo, proud, dramatic, fiery, outgoing but you say,..."But I'm like the shyest person I know!?" Well that might be because you have a shy, retiring Pisces Rising!? You might be too sensitive to put yourself out there "on stage!"
And so it goes! The Rising Sign is the personality you project outwards whereas your Sun Sign is what you are deep down inside. Sometimes your Sun and Rising sign agree and compliment and sometimes they are at odds with each other!
If you want to know YOUR Rising Sign, drop me a pm but this is very important!!! I MUST know your time of birth. The more exact the better and I will in turn give you a short nutshell profile on your Sun and Rising Sign blended together.
And as always...if you want a chart reading, include your time of birth, date of birth and place of birth!

Moon in loving, luxury loving, grounded, stubborn, materialistic, money appreciating, art loving, music loving Taurus (do you like to sing!? Taurus rules the throat and voice!)
Rising Sign....flashy, dramatic, fiery, (did I mention dramatic!) proud, LEO! You are the Queen of your household aren't ya'!

I am THE eternal skeptic about woo-woo stuff like astrology and taro, but you just nailed me.
Seriously, what you just said and a Taro reading that Colo did for me last year are absolutely on spot.
Dang. Weird. Yall are scarin' me!
And hey, Biggie, that was just the tip of the tip of the tip of the ...
Astrology is like an onion with many layers!
If I "suffer" [and I use the term "suffer" v-e-r-y loosely!] insomnia tonite, I'll try and further blow your little mind!
I've actually always wanted to do your chart! And now I have the all important data! There's NOOOOOO stopping me now (she laughed maniacally while rubbing her hands together mischievously!)
Monday's going o.k for me (they suddenly got great as soon as I took a hiatus from working!!!) But for those of you out there who punch in and punch out and for Misty...
Awww shit, it's Monday!
And damn it...George Carlin died...now THAT's a bummer.

Thanks for stopping by tho' Mist. And watch where you step leaving my blog!!
It is a thoughtful expression to take the stars from
the heaven, and put them into a pen. To say we are made
up of the vision of beauty is as close to heaven as we
can get.
The heaven makes us lay down with thoughts, make love
to our minds, and live in the far off places of the heart.
Some think it's silly to dream that we are guided in our
lives by some mystic sense.
Of ocurse we are. If the goodness we need could be recognized,
what greater good can come of it.
Sorry, I seem to be in a sad, poetic mood today. I think it's
called Floodamania! There is so much pain here, it floods
my thinking. (Pun).
I love the way we are, have a wonderful time today,
Joe
