Aries Rising with Mars in each of the 12 signs - Astrohawk's Rising Sign Series

We all know about our sun sign and a lot of people even know about their moon sign but how much do you know about your Rising sign aka Ascendant? Your Rising sign is one of the most important in the chart. To find your Rising sign you will need to know your exact time of birth as the Rising sign is based on the sign that was "rising" on the eastern horizon when you were born imbuing your personality with those traits of the sign. The sign rising in the east changes about every 2 1/2 hours. If you have an astrology chart to view, it's the sign on the left hand side. So what is your Rising sign symbolic of? My interpretation of this sign is what your soul came here to learn and project itself as. The rising sign degree (Ascendant) starts your 1st house that has everything to do with the self. It also sets up the energy of every other area of your life. The Ascendant is your physical body and self expression, what you are literally "rising" and learning to be in this life. You're not that good with the energy of your Rising sign at first because it's so new to your soul so there is a lot of lessons here with a need to fully embrace this side of you. The Ascendant and 1st house is what everyone can clearly see on you; your body, style, expression, etc; you can't hide this energy and we even see our self as this sign the most no matter what your sun sign or moon sign is.

In general there is 12 different types of people for each of the 12 different Rising signs, although in truth there is many more complexities but, 12 combinations is the base. This is because every sign has a planet that is associated with the sign. Therefore to know what type of person this is for each Rising sign you have to look to see where the planet associated with that sign is. This is the first post in a 12 post series listing my interpretation for each of the 12 main types of person for each of the 12 Rising signs starting with Aries. Because Mars rules Aries to know how each Aries Rising expresses themselves you have to also find where their Mars is.

 I will first give my general interpretation for the rising sign then augment it by listing the sign its ruler is in. Let's get started!

 Aries Rising - Ruled by Mars.

The Aries rising person has come here to learn what it's like to be a free independent unique individual without needing the influence of others to tell them who they are. They are here to Pioneer! This person is fearless, courageous and assertive with a very physical essence and strong body. They are here to do exactly what they want which can make them seem very self centered, but that's what they are meant to do and learn - all about the self and how to be courageous and daring being their own leader; following their own instinct and how it feels to be okay alone and not need others to validate them. They are learning how to express the energy of spring - pure fire enthusiasm and intention for life; exploring their instincts as they have a direct download from the divine helping them act impulsively without the need for thought or long term planning. This is someone who projects self as a warrior, being headstrong and needing a lot of activity and adventure to direct their energy into along with freedom to be whatever they want to be. Most Aries Rising have little funny routines for self that others might laugh about but the Aries finds self the most important (in general) and doesn't care about those laughs or what people are saying. Aries Rising is here to give the world the finger and ride off into the sunset, exploring their own passions.

Perhaps in other lifetimes they did not give enough attention to the self and need to learn what being free and independent is all about.
