How you come across with Aries rising
Your Aries Rising is direct, fast, and physically alive. You meet the world head on, you decide quickly, and people feel your energy before you have said a word. You are the one who starts things.
How it shows up in life
In first meetings you come across as confident and a little impatient. In your body you carry energy in your head and face, and you often move before you think. New situations bring out your best, and waiting brings out your worst.
Three things that help
Pause before the first move, then go.
Let others catch up without leaving them behind.
Burn energy every day. It keeps your temper even.
Chart ruler
The Rising sign sets the whole house wheel, and its ruler becomes the chart ruler. With Aries rising, the chart ruler is Mars. Where that planet sits by sign and house colours the whole chart.
Why the birth time matters
The Rising sign changes about every two hours, so it needs the birth time. Without it, no honest chart can name the Rising sign or the houses. If you do not know your time, start with your Sun and Moon.
