Do these descriptions of each ascendant (rising sign) fit your physical appearance to a reasonable extent?

VIRGO ASCENDANT

Virgo risings are usually clean and neatly turned out, or disheveled in a studied kind of way. They appear younger than their actual age, or at least, the eyes themselves - as distinct from the surrounding skin - are especially clear and unlived-in. There is a gentle quality to their appearance and the face tends to be oval-shaped with small but nicely constituted features. The body of these natives may also give an impression of frailty but it is actually quite strong. Those born with Virgo on their eastern horizon are usually of average height. They are either of a slight, Mercurial build and long-waisted or favor the more stocky disposition of Earth, with a shortened waist. Some late rising Virgos are tall - a trait of Mercury. Sometimes akin to a chipmunk look, Virgo rising can have straight or curly hair, depending on the strength of presence of Mercury or Earth, respectively.

The issues between psyche (mind) and soma (body) are very real and connected for Virgo rising natives.

LIBRA ASCENDANT

Very common with Libra rising is an evenly proportioned body and small features - ruled by Venus - what else? The teeth may be 'pearly,' and lips are finely chiseled. The hair is well kept and typically dark or black in color. They are rarely ruffled and although they use their hands in conversation, they never stray too far from the body. Typically, Libra rising is the low eyeline - almost halfway down the face. Mostly fine and straight hair, sometimes with a little hint of a wave, this sign of Venus has long curly eyelashes, a bow mouth and dimples, of course, with a classically straight nose.

SCORPIO ASCENDANT

Silent slinky Scorpio. These natives move from the pelvis area, with the upper torso almost motionless as they do so. They are often stocky with shortened limbs giving the appearance a weighty look. The Scorpio voice is one that can project - often soft and low pitched - but unmistakably husky and self assured. The eyes may be large and penetrating; they may be the outstanding facial feature. Hair typically is black, thick, coarse -- often curly. The nose may be seen as 'Roman.' Skin might be sallow and somewhat oily. The early degrees of Scorpio rising have many thin types with narrow hips and long legs - very top weighted. Late degrees of Scorpio exhibit more even weightedness. There is always a "presence" about Scorpio rising - they are always noticed when entering a room.

SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT

The swan neck of the Zodiac. Sagittarius rising sports long lines, and no more so than that elegant neck of theirs. They also have very good leg development to carry them on all that exploration they engage upon. There are some very horsey types - even their laugh can be a little horse-like too. This is accentuated by high cheekbones with little hollows beneath. The eyes are mostly almond shaped and deep set but with the lid showing at the both edges. There are many tall and also stooped natives of Sagittarius rising, as well as the graceful swan types. The hands are likely to be very expressive in conversation - there is no one more ill at ease than this native when they do not know what to do with their hands!

CAPRICORN ASCENDANT

Serious and definite in their approach to life, they are the pointers of the rising signs - a definite downward ticking off of points in their speech. For the most part, these natives are thin and bony (Saturn rules the skeleton frame). Their physical appearance can also appear quite earthy, rock-like, or even a little devilish. They have flat cheeks, but often most prominent is the hunched up shoulders of Capricorn rising - hunched as if carrying a weight, or as if protecting the body. Large noses are a feature of Capricorn too, often with a big hook - and small angular teeth make up the rest of the caricature. Many of the men wear a goatee rather than a full beard.

AQUARIUS ASCENDANT

Aquarius rising is often at the forefront of new technology and new ideas, and very much in tune with them. A very together look - the face of many Aquarians resemble those from classic sculpture - chiseled. Long body lines, clear cut angles and an upright manner. Physically, they look quintessentially "human". A clear complexion, almost porcelain in quality and usually straight fine hair balances it all off perfectly. Shoulder pads were MADE for Ms Aquarius rising and some ladies wear their hair high to accentuate their angular lines. Their appearance can also be unusual, inventive, or making a statement of some kind. Early degrees of Aquarius rising can be loud; although Ms Aquarius may have quite a rich singing voice too.

PISCES ASCENDANT

As can be expected, this is a very romantic and enchanted placement - often accompanied by a love of the glamorous. Pisces rising are rarely tall - they also tend to carry water on the body in a pear shape fashion. This shape is often repeated in specific areas of the body, such as the head - a narrow forehead widens to give a wideness below the eyeline. The frame tends to be relatively small and well proportioned. Some may appear flat down their back, but they will display a certain broadness. Arms and legs are usually short; hands may be small and 'artistic.' This ascendant often gives the individual large, dreamy eyes and long, thick lashes. The mouth and lips may be soft and sensitive; the nose small and well-formed. The feet may be unusual in some way. Pisces rising are often talkative characters and with emotion too.

Common with these natives are the low set sticking out ears and double chin for the heavier ones - the Jupiter ear trait is one they share with Sagittarius rising. (Saturn ears are the opposite - very flat to the head).
