What Pisces rising means
You come across soft, dreamy and kind, with the air of an artist or a mystic. People feel understood by you. You must protect your boundaries.
The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it needs the exact time and place. It stands for the face you show, your body and the way you begin things. In Pisces it works gently and intuitively; it dissolves borders and feels everything. Its ruler, Jupiter and, in modern astrology, Neptune, is the ruler of the whole chart.
The opposite point, the Descendant, falls in Virgo: the partner it describes is a helper. Sharp, modest, tidy, careful about health and a little critical: someone who fixes your life in small ways every day and shows love by doing, not by speeches.
