The 1st House / Ascendant / Rising sign is the part of our charts that shows us how we perceive the world around us, how we react to our circumstances, and in what ways we were conditioned or brought up. Through this placement, we learn a lot about our personal perspectives and our appearance both inside and out.
Aries Rising: You see the world as a battleground with you as the lead soldier. Each day, you are provided with a new challenge to overcome and a new situation to conquer despite the odds against you. You were conditioned to express a bold, tough exterior to protect the “you” within; the vulnerable parts of your being. You want to be perceived as strong willed and assertive.. Your ego shielding your life force with impulse and domination. You are a trend-setter, a protector of the weak, and a fighter for your own individuality.
Taurus Rising: Every vibration, every smell, every echo.. you soak it all in. To you, life is a combination of give and take, of working and accomplishing, of sensuality and realism. The world is yours for the taking and you have been conditioned to perceive life as a never-ending stream of security, comfort, and abundance. You see yourself as one with nature and as one with humanity; a charming and resourceful flower forever blooming. You are patiently growing and stubbornly creating.
Gemini Rising: Curiosities consume your vision. Every new beginning is a chance to learn something new; to obtain stimulation, experience, and inspiration. Life, to you, is an endless story with an infinite number of authors and illustrators providing their own knowledge and wit. You see every dark tunnel as an opportunity to find the light.. You see every person and every place as a possibility to experience more. You will never know enough; this truth excites you and terrifies you.
Cancer Rising: You instinctively feel the need to nourish the world around you. You are a nurturer with the ability to create “home” everywhere that you go. You seek others with care and compassion.. You are an angel in a broken world carefully picking up the pieces and taking on the emotions that plague the air around you. You are just a remnant of mother earth formed into the human body.. forever healing, glowing, and fluctuating like the moon.
Leo Rising: The world needs a voice.. a light.. art in human form and that is what you are. You were brought into this world to be known, to be seen, to be heard. To you, life is a stage and you are the performer. You want to provide others with inspiration, courage, and enthusiasm by expressing these traits yourself. You are the royalty of the rising signs, the feline with the ambitious self-image, you will turn a blank canvas into a dramatic painting.
Virgo Rising: People tend to break free from their roots and often forget the benefits of grounding and simplicity; so you bring them back to earth. You are the embodiment of the earth’s soul generating natural attributes and providing the world with nutrition, organization, and logic. In your eyes, the world needs analyzing and you are here to uncover its truths, detail by detail. Taking on so much responsibility can result in overwhelming sensations, so remember that you too need grounding and simplicity.
Libra Rising: Because of your conditioning, you seek to provide harmony, justice, balance, and beauty into the world. You seek to turn hatred into compassion, despair into bliss, and ugliness into magnificence. You model what’s around you and transform the views of the insecure and the aggressive. The clarity in your voice and the glow in your heart are as lovely as Venus herself. Thanks to you and your diplomacy, the world is provided with the equality it needs to keep progressing away from intolerance.
Scorpio Rising: You must protect yourself from the destruction and chaos of the world; for you have witnessed firsthand what being vulnerable and open can do to your self-esteem and your personal power. You are a creature of the dark forever shedding your skin to be reborn again.. to touch the light of the sun and regain your strength. You see the world in need of healing and regeneration, so you will guide others to dig deep within their psyche and empty out their pain to morph it into something revolutionary and dominating.
Sagittarius Rising: An explorer sailing the high seas, covering vast mountains, and discovering what was once unknown.. You see the world as an adventure and you seek out everything that presents itself to you. The bigger picture is in your view and fascinating journeys are just beyond the horizon. Though others may not understand your level of optimism and enthusiasm, you will never stop experiencing.. traveling through various physical and spiritual places. Your knowledge knows no bounds.
Capricorn Rising: To make it in this world, you know you need to keep building to the world’s vulnerable structure. People will try to hammer away at you.. the chaos of the world will make you want to crumble but you will never stop building and rising above it all. To you, life is a foundation with cracks and holes that need to be filled and redefined.. and you are the one to do it. Your strength, resilience, and intelligence guide you to become a stabilizer.
Aquarius Rising: Static rings through your ears and covers the screen that is your vision. Your hands configure the settings of your mind and the perception of your environment; flipping from channel to channel. You can pick up on the programs that no one else can find or see clearly. Others may think you are erratic.. out of your mind.. when in reality, you know what others do not.
Pisces Rising: Above you lies what looks like the surface of the ocean and you are just beneath its capacity. The waves caress you softly as you float through the endless body of water.. This is your perception of the world. Underwater, it is hard to see clearly, difficult to hear what is apparent for most, and not possible to breathe as others do. You are essentially not of this world as you belong to another where gravity is lost and illusions are at a constant.. This is why you sympathize so well with the innocent and broken.. they are as lost and as vulnerable as you.
My name’s Ambrose, well not my real name, my real name is Barbora (and my model name is Stan!) but I prefer Ambrose. I’m from Slovakia, a small country in central Europe. I’m sixteen, born in October, and I’m a model. I often work in London and would love to meet many lovely people there!
This blog will probably just be full of pictures of me and my friends. I can’t edit, not at all, but I try? I love polaroids, I even have an Instax camera but I can’t buy the right film in Slovakia, so I just settled for an app. Maybe I’ll even post some of my short stories or poetry, and I’ll definitely be posting some stories from my daily life. Please criticize my work so I can get better!
And at last, a little bit about what I like. I’m a single lesbian.
