Interpretation of what each Rising Sign needs from their partner

Your astrology chart says a whole lot about your partnership needs, but if we could simplify things to get a basic idea and framework of what each person is needing from their partner at the most basic level first, before understanding any of their other complexities within that - well then, we would look to the Ascendant and 7th house of your chart.

Here is a very brief interpretation of what each different Rising Sign needs the most from their partner, on the most basic level before anything else (in general - and i should say -very general). These are not necessarily the traits you are most attracted to which is based on your Venus, Mars, moon, etc, rather it's what type of partner that will fit best with you on basic level of every day life. This will mostly be true the first half of life, but you also might want to find out your progressed Rising Sign that is usually a sign or two after your natal Rising Sign which could indicate your updated partnership needs at this point in your life.  So if one doesn't seem to fit, check the following sign.

So here's the basics:

Aries Rising - This person needs fairness, objectivity and equality from their partner, allowing them to be self, so they can follow their own path freely. They need a partner that will bring more beauty into their life with the willingness to communicate issues diplomatically, even if that's not their own natural style. Aries Rising is already brave, independent and full of personal freedom, so they need a partner willing to accept that while offering a balanced harmonized beautiful partnership, honoring self needs just as much as partner needs.

Taurus Rising - These people already have a good sense of value for themselves, along with having what they need to feel safe and secure on the material level. They need a partner that will offer value of a deeper substance, like emotional intensity, frequent sex, loyalty, passion, and a sense of having personal authority; someone whom is powerful & in control of their life. They are not necessarily needing a partner to be rich or bring them everything they ever wanted in life. They need a partner that wants to fully merge as one and control their destiny together.

Gemini Rising-  This youthful playful person needs a partner willing to travel both short and far, having and allowing for a sense of humor, being optimistic, adventurous and a seeker of higher truths. They need to be with someone that has faith in them and in the partnership, someone whom will allow this person freedom to learn and grow, while keeping a positive outlook on the future.

Cancer Rising - On the most basic level, Cancer Rising people need a partner that will provide some stability and practicality in life matters, having long term ambitions, most likely in business, family and is an authority in the world or in the relationship, sometimes being older which will help secure and add structure to the Cancer's life. This person already has a good sense of emotional sensitivity, care and nurturing for themselves, they are not necessarily needing that as much from their partner(in general) as you would think. Having a wise and mature partner helps keep the Cancer's emotional sensitivity grounded & healthy, helping them to feel protected, safe and secure. 

Leo Rising - This is the fun expressive star rising person, they don't need their partner to be that. This person needs a partner that is willing to give them a sense of freedom from rules in the union with emotional detachment in the partnership so that they can focus of their own passions and creative ambitions, not getting too weighed down by the other. They need partner that is willing to do things differently, be an odd ball, eccentric, intelligent & innovative, and most of all, be a good friend while allowing the Leo, to be all that as well.

Virgo Rising - Let's see...this person needs to have a partner that has faith in them and vice versa, whom is dreamy and romantic about the union. They need a partner that is okay with their devotion and romantic desire to sacrifice self in order to heal and stabilize the partner in some way; someone whom allows their own sense of imagination, sensitivity and compassion to emerge while together. This Virgo needs that compassion and sensitivity from the partner because Virgo Rising is already much too practical and critical with themselves, they don't need a partner to reinforce that. Sometimes, they just need someone whom they can save and help with routine matters on a daily basis, often finding themselves with broken people, addicts or the starving artists.

Libra Rising - This person needs a partner that will give them a sense of personal freedom and independence within the union, not being too co-dependent. What they need from their partner is someone whom is confident, has courage, directness, and motivation to pursue their own calling, while having fun adventures both together and separately. Also Libra Rising needs a lot of passion from partner, one whom is aggressive and does the sexual initiating. All other personal needs from partner will fall within this framework.

Scorpio Rising - What this person needs from their partner most is material security and safety, along with a good dose of pleasure. Scorpio Rising is here to be a mystic, sorcerer or someone whom delves deep into the under currents of reality and within themselves, they don't need a partner to be on that level. Rather, they need someone that is grounded and practical that offers financial security, less intense than themselves and someone whom shows great value for the union, maybe even needing a possessive partner, and a great deal of sexual pleasure from them. Perhaps someone that can cook well too and enhances their physical life.

Sagittarius Rising- These folks need adaptability from their partner along with a good amount of variety in what the couple does on a daily basis. They need partner to be communicative about issues, have a lot of intellect and information that the Sag Rising might over-look at times.  They need to be able to go on short trips with the partner, while having fun, being playful and witty. The partner might have a sense of youthfulness about them in some way that would fit well with Sag allowing their own child-like behavior to express when together, nothing too deep or serious for the basic framework. Not all, but some Sag Risings needs such a variety with other people that a partner with two different distinct sides at different times of the year could work, along with a partner willing to explore a variety of sexual activity, and let's not rule out 3some's early in life, depending on other personal alignments.

Capricorn Rising - This person worries about real life practical matters so much including the future and if they are doing enough in the present moment, that they need a partner willing to be a homebody, taking care of, and nurturing them on many levels including emotionally. They like to help balance out the sensitivity of their partner with their own sense of wisdom and maturity. Cap Rising can be so uptight and traditional at times that a sensitive nurturing partner will help them feel comfortable expressing the more sensitive traits while together. Cap Rising is the business person with long tern ambitions, they don't need that from their partner, but rather someone whom takes care of home life while they work.

Aquarius Rising - This person needs loyalty from their partner and someone whom is creative, joyful and fun. Aquar Rising already is somewhat detached emotionally, (depending on moon) they don't need that from partner. They need passion, and sometimes even drama from partner, someone that enhances their own sense of creativity and flare. They need a partner with good style and whom they can show off to the world. This partner helps bring more heart,  fun and recreation to Aquarius Rising's life.

Pisces Rising - This person needs a grounded practical organized health conscious partner to help ground out this illusive imaginative Pisces Rising that can sometimes fall into addictions or fantasy. They don't need a dreamer, rather someone with a lot of intellect and devotion to them. Pisces Rising needs a partner willing to serve them, and that will be extra helpful with routine daily chores and work so the Pisces has time to get lost in creative inspiration. This should be the basic framework before anything else.

So there you go. You might look at your partner's Rising sign both natal and progressed to see what they need from you, before anything else. This could help you understand them a little better, but of course, the full chart will tell you full story. This is just one small piece of it that will need to be adjusted by any planets in your 1st and 7th houses along with the placements of your Venus, Mars and moon, etc.
