Scorpio Rising - Ascendant in Scorpio
Views
With Scorpio Rising, you navigate your way through situations with perceptive instincts and an inner sense of power. Your way of immediately engaging with your environment is by figuring out the ways in which you’re in control of it or not. You innately see the hierarchies of power in any situation, as well as all of the other feelings, thoughts, and motivations seething beneath the surface. So, your environmental role is often one of a detective of some sort, digging to the real truth of what’s going on. As a result, Scorpio Rising folks can have an air that makes people a bit uneasy, especially since you don’t give away your motives as eagerly as you search for others’.
Though her birth time is often debated, the belief that Beyonce Knowles has a Scorpio Rising seems to be right on point. A notoriously private woman, she has always been adamant on maintaining certain secrets of hers, even if it’s regarding something relatively harmless. She’s evidence that people with this Ascendant can give off the impression of keeping their cards close to the vest. But, you might not realize that such secrecy can breed the same kind of mistrust or wariness in others. However, there is also an intense magnetism to Scorpio Rising that can almost helplessly draw people near. You exude a raw intensity, right off the bat, that others can’t help but find fascinating. Yet, how far do they really want to plumb? Alas, you will probably resign yourself to the fact that you’re going to intimidate many people, often times when you don’t even mean to.
There is something both very powerful and rather understated about the presence of a Scorpio Rising. Your vibe is amazingly strong, deep, electrifying. However, you also have a manner that’s quiet or underplayed. You are only projecting only a fraction of what you’re really feeling; the tip of the iceberg. This is what naturally leaves people wanting more. Any planets that might be on the Ascendant are expressed with this combination of subtlety and intensity. They also make a tremendous impact. But, that’s what you’re about: power. It’s no coincidence that so many of Beyonce’s songs are about empowerment. She’s expressing the Scorpio Rising agenda. This motive makes you move about like you’re going in for the kill, though you do so in a sleek, covert style. There’s something very seductive about your mannerisms, seeming geared to cast someone under your magical spell. Your movements and expressions are distinctly controlled yet can suddenly become volatile and forceful. Your resting face, therefore, can either be quite blank and enigmatic or unnerving enough to stop someone in their tracks (which you often do, possibly to your chagrin).
Scorpio Rising folks don’t make neutral impressions on others, generally speaking. Many people walk away either loving you or hating you, often inexplicably to them. However, this might be because you either love or hate the people you first meet, using your finely tuned intuitive radar to suss out who’s worth your time from who isn’t. Therefore, your process of breaking the ice can simply involve dishing out some ice, instantly sensing that this person isn’t worth the energy. For those who you deem worthy, you put every ounce of your energy into the process. However, those with Scorpio Rising have a way of introducing themselves by hiding or veiling themselves. The conversation remains firmly focused on other things, particularly the other person. By the end, the person feels like they still know nothing about you, thus making them more intrigued.
