Libra rising

Beauty is the theme, and the writers overlap unusually. Lilly 1659, Raphael's Guide 1877 and Sepharial 1920 all describe a well-made figure with fine features, and Sepharial rates this type among the highest for looks. Adams 1928 notes that the later degrees of Libra rising tend toward a thicker build, which she reads as Scorpio already reaching the horizon.

On the Whole Sign option in this calculator the rising sign fills the first house from its first degree to its last, so the entire sign counts even if only a few degrees had risen. Placidus starts the house at the exact rising degree. Both need the true time of birth, since a wrong hour moves everything else in the wheel with it. Modern popular astrology reads this rising as tact and charm, and its reliance on looks has faded.
