Everybody's always talking about your sun sign, but what about your rising? Rising signs, also called "ascendant signs," play a huge role in who we are and how we love—Pisces rising being no exception. By understanding the secrets of your ascendant, you'll discover how to be better friend, a happier individual, and luckier in love. In short, if you look to the stars, you'll better understand what makes you, you. Exciting, right? Read on for the full scoop.

Things You Should Know

  • Your rising sign usually describes how other people perceive you. Otherwise, it might be the personality that you feel most comfortable projecting.
  • Rising signs are also thought to describe a person’s appearance. As a Pisces rising, you likely have soft features and dazzling eyes.
  • To other people, Pisces risings are considered empathetic, kind, and gentle souls with a mystical edge.

Pisces Rising: Overview

Download Article

  1. Pisces risings are considered loving, intuitive, and magical company. Rising signs are all about how the world sees you, but not everyone relates to it in the same way. To some, it’s a “mask” that hides their truest selves. To others, it's thought to be just as (if not more) important than the sun and moon signs. In fact, if your rising is the personality that you revert to when you naturally feel comfortable, then that’s super significant.[1]

    • It's up to you to decide how exactly your rising sign shines through in your personality and life. Is it a face you put on for others?
    • Or on the other hand, is it a part of your personality that feels significant and authentic?
    • For reference, Pisces risings are thought to be creative, artistic, spiritual, empathetic, intuitive, and kind.

Personality

  1. 1

    Pisces risings are often seen as the mystics of their circle. You might be the type to toss in a surprising, profound quip, or maybe you’re the friend who suggests a paint night whenever you get the chance. One thing’s for sure: people think of you as someone who pushes the envelope creatively and spiritually. Your circle's probably super grateful for the ways you’ve challenged them to think about things they’d never considered before.[2]

  2. 2

    If you’re a Pisces rising, you might be considered kind and gentle. When you meet someone, you probably leave them feeling totally enchanted. Your rising sign signals a warmth that’s hard to describe—people likely feel totally understood and at ease in your presence. Even with people you’ve only just met, you’re an amazing empathetic ear and a comforting shoulder to cry on.

  3. 3

    Pisces risings get a rep for easily reading others’ emotions. Have you ever just known how someone else was feeling instinctively, even if no one else seems to sense it? That’s Pisces rising 101. As a sign, Pisces is ultra-intuitive, meaning that the people around you believe you have high emotional intelligence. And paired with your kind spirit, that makes you super comforting company.

  4. 4

    Pisces rising, you're a social shapeshifter who goes with the flow. Pisces risings are probably not going to make a fuss in social settings. If the group wants Italian food, you’re down. If they want to see a movie over bowling, you’re not complaining. In general, you might like to be as easy breezy as possible. And though your flexibility is out of love, it might sometimes mean that you put others' needs before your own.

  5. 5

    To others, Pisces rising, you might be seen as a bit of a pushover. Pisces is a sign that’s known to struggle with boundaries.[3] With that big heart and need to please, it can just feel so hard to say no! Generally speaking, you might have a tough time putting yourself first. Worst case, you might even attract people who purposefully take advantage of your generosity. So, it'll pay to keep an eye out for toxic connections.

Appearance

  1. Pisces risings often have gorgeous, ethereal features. Rising signs are all about what’s immediate, or on the surface—so it’s no surprise that they’re thought to affect appearances, too. Pisces are known to have a magical look to them. They’re associated with soft, lovely features, and most especially, intoxicating eyes. When people take a look at you, they have a hard time shifting their gaze.

Love & Compatibility

  1. Pisces rising’s romantic personality is, in a word, enchanting. Rising signs might be more relevant in the early days of dating, but if you’re someone whose rising sign seems to carry a special weight, it might matter even more for compatibility down the line. Specifically, as a Pisces rising you're likely to:

    • Get crushes to open up early on. Pisces risings have a special way of getting right to the core of new connections’ hearts. So you’re likely to bond quickly.
    • Make dates feel seen and adored. Like no one else, you make people feel important. Dates will feel like the center of your world, and they’ll love you for it.
    • Create magical experiences in love. You know how to tease out special, deep meanings in everything—and your crushes will be awestruck by you.[4]
    • Match well with fellow water rising signs. Because of their emotional insight, Scorpio risings, Cancer risings, and other Pisces risings are great fits.
    • Be compatible with earth rising signs. Because they offer stability, Taurus risings, Virgo risings, and Capricorn risings suit you, too.

Work

  1. Pisces risings might seek out creative or people-facing careers. A lot of the time, people are happiest in their career when they’re doing something they really care about. For many, moon and sun signs are the best indicator of this, but still, a lot of people’s passions are more in line with their ascendant sign. If you think this might be you, try out a job that’s perfect for Pisces placements:

    • Artist
    • Therapist
    • Non-profit employee
    • Social worker
    • Recruiter
    • Teacher

    Expert Answer

    Not all Pisces have light eyes, but they have a certain glow about them (or they seem a bit mystical or unusual in some way). Sometimes they're a bit unkempt—this is because they're the opposite of Virgo Rising, which is carefully put together. Pisces Risings tend to like wrinkled clothes, colorful apparel, and somewhat artistic vibes.
