This is a description of the rising sign Scorpio. Scorpio is one of the most profound and mysterious signs of the Zodiac. The complexity of Scorpio rising comes mostly from the fact that this is a feminine and water sign, while its ruler Mars is a very masculine planet. Physically speaking, having Scorpio rising makes your thighs bigger and stronger, more protruding. The chest may be wider than average and the eyes broader. Moreover, muscle mass in your body is increased. However, ancient Vedic scriptures generally state that having Scorpio rising makes you more likely to suffer from diseases in your early childhood, these problems usually disappear as you become older.
The independent and resilient nature of Mars comes into the fixed sign of Scorpio, which indicates that you are a non-conformist and maverick individual who does not easily change under pressure. You do not necessarily get along well with the authority figures, you do not like being told what to do, and you value freedom over everything else. As a general rule, you tend to perform better and you make greater progress in life without relying too much on the government, law, employers, religious figures such as priests, teachers, or role models. The rebellious quality of Scorpio rising makes you defy and challenge those in power. Your strength comes from relying on your own tenacity and perseverance.
Psychologically, your intelligence has a logical and deeply penetrating quality to it, which can make you a good scientist. You like to explore the depths of the mind and you may have an interest in the occult. In fact, one of the key characteristics of Scorpio rising is your ability to see through the superficial layers of people and situations to get to the heart of the matter. You have a strong intuition, which is often based on a deep understanding of human behaviour and motivation. Working with techniques for controlling and directing energy, such as Tantric Yoga, comes naturally to you. This energy can be channelled into a strong sense of purpose, which can make you a powerful force in the world.
Scorpio rising is also associated with sexuality and sensuality. You may have a strong sexual energy that is difficult to ignore, and you can be drawn to experiences that allow you to explore your sexuality in a safe and consensual way. However, this energy can also manifest in more destructive ways, such as jealousy or possessiveness. In relationships, Scorpio rising can be both intense and challenging. You tend to be very loyal to those you love, but you also have a tendency to be controlling and jealous. It can be difficult for you to trust others, and you may have a hard time opening up emotionally. However, once you do let someone in, you are fiercely committed and protective.
