I mentioned part of this quote to @electrodgx a while back.
I'm finally copying out the whole quote & figured others may be interested.
---
Scorpio Rising - "I can do anything I put my mind to."
There is no point in mincing words: This man is strong-willed. He's turbulent and volatile. He's also commanding and astute. He can excel in business where a take-control personality is needed. His intensity is shown in his line of work. He is attracted to danger and excels in investigative, political, religious, or medical careers. He's not timid in his choice of work. He can soar to the heights or fall to the depths, depending on how involved he is and what his goals are. A sturdy friend, hes not the kind you classify as a buddy. He doesn't pal around and spends much time alone. But he'll always remember a kind deed. He's best at building and rebuilding, whether it's his business, his relationships, or his list of things to master.
Perhaps one of his strongest abilities to rebuild is shown in his recuperative powers. He can bounce back from years of abusing his health, a major accident, or an illness as if by pure willpower. And more than anything else, willpower is his key word. Detonating bombs won't scare him. Losing the object of his affections, however, is frightening and can lead to melancholy, brooding, and compulsive, obsessive behavior.
His powers of persuasion with you are amazing. All your common sense is dissolved. Does he hypnotize you as sleep? In your lucid moments you actually wonder how he can have such a hold on you. He prefers to dominate and control, even if only fo a short time, even if the control is benevolent. When he concentrates on the woman of his choice, it is total. He'll plan romantic days for you. If he misses work to take you sailing for lunch, so be it. He'll schedule your days and evenings so tightly you won't have time to sleep. The planets are in the pricess of changing him now, and he's more cautious and somewhat more leery than usual. Can he be faithful? Yes. Can he make money? Yes. Can he fulfill your every dream? Yes. But only if he wants to.

It's interesting to me, because our Leo Sun/Aries Moon littlest guy has Scorpio Rising, with Sag Mars/Saturn conjunct in his 1st house.
He's generally just such a sweet, happy little guy! β€
But it's hilarious to observe his facial expressions and actions if we have to remove something that he WANTS. He just stares at you for a minute without expresssion, lol.
Or, alternatively, he keeps going at what he's trying to do, occasionally grunting at us in quiet annoyance--unlike our oldest, with his Aries stellium, who literally came out with fists swinging, and screaming/bulldozing his way to his goals. π
I refer to baby's expression when he stares like that as the classic "resting b*tch face", lol. When he does get whatever it is that he's after, he looks at you with this hilarious, slight little triumphant smile, just barely noticeable.
My mom has Scorpio Asc as well, and she's determined alright. π

Violets, that is a fun read! I am Scorpio Sun, Leo Asc and Aqua Moon (could it get any more fixed!), and it is interesitng that although the Asc is our mask to the world it can still express the core Scorp Sun qualities. Incidentally, just found this out - "It is believed that if the Ascendant falls closer to the beginning of the Sign, the stronger the effects will be felt in the individual. This is also held to be true if the Sun is in a weak position in the birth chart (such as if the individual was born at night). ItΒs also thought to be weaker when the individual is born towards the end of the Sign's Ascendancy, just before the next Sign appears." My Sun is at 1.35 degrees, so I must be a true blue variety.

Violets Your little son sounds so cute!!! πI dated a Scorpio rising guy, and it was like this: "All your common sense is dissolved. Does he hypnotize you as sleep? In your lucid moments you actually wonder how he can have such a hold on you."

That is interesting, Ava. I don't think I've ever dated a Scorpio Rising person. I've dated some Scorpio Suns, Moons, and a few Scorpio Mars guys, but the effect still felt like what you quoted, lol.

I dont think I really know any Scorp risings in real life. One of my sisters may potentially be one, but because my mum doesn't know her exact time of birth, she might also have Sagittarius rising. Because I know her all my life, I don't really know how she appears to people whom she first meets. I think she might be more Sag rising, but she was reportedly quite shy at school I think (she's a Taurus Sun and moon). She CAN, however, be quite blunt, like a Sagittarius. But she also is heavily sarcastic, and I heard that sarcasm can be a Scorpio thing.

I feel like Scorpio Risings are the easiest Scorpio types to spot, which makes since due to their Scorpio energy being right out there. They are probably the least complicated and mysterious Scorpio types, actually, because the traits are so obvious and often in-your-face. Not to say that they are necessarily easy to read. They're not. But, they're the most upfront about their Scorpio qualities, whether it's acting with a lot of restraint and self-control or saying very extreme things with great passion or having very intense eye contact that can be so invasive that it's borderline offensive, haha. So, Violets, there is quite a difference. As a Scorpio Moon, I can say that we hide all of that intense, super-complicated stuff the best. Few people even know what's going on in there. Scorpio Suns can hide that energy for a considerable time but it inevitably comes out much quicker, in my experience, especially through conversations that can get very intimate and intense. But, with the Scorpio Ascendant, you know what you're in for right away. And the thing is that, unless they have other Scorpio or Pluto influences, they will actually probably feel a lot less intense and complex on the inside. They just act that way and behave that way. So, it can be kind of misleading, which they may like. They may like coming off as unknowable as a defense to weed out people from getting close. Since they have Taurus on the Descendant, it can take a long time to get close to them, too. But, they're also surprisingly easygoing and laidback.

the89freespirit , I didn't mean to imply that there wasn't a difference between the three, lol. I was only referring to my experience regarding the part Faith quoted in her last post (" All your common sense is dissolved. Does he hypnotize you as sleep? In your lucid moments you actually wonder how he can have such a hold on you."), with the ones I've known personally. My aunt has a Scorpio Moon, and although she's an Aries Sun square Cancer Mars (yeesh), there is a lot there that people wouldn't immediately guess about, absolutely. She does peer into people's eyes somewhat intensely, but it can go unnoticed unless you know her well. The Scorpio Suns I've known seem very mellow until you get to know them, or hit the wrong nerve, heh.

Oh, I hope I didn't sound condescending or anything, Violets. Haha, I guess I misunderstood because it sounded like you said you thought all the Scorpio placements express the energy basically the same. It can be kind of tricky to understand just how the Sun, Moon, and Rising in a sign get expressed differently. So, that's all I was trying to say.

the89freespirit no worries! I can understand how my post might have come across that way. I'm a Leo Asc, married to a Leo Sun, and my best friend is a Leo Moon. We definitely all express that energy differently!

Violets okay good! Tone can be a bit hard to decipher over the Internet, sometimes. And yay for Leo people! I didn't know that was your Rising sign.

When you look over at a Scorpio rising and politely smile Them: Unless we have a Gemini Moon, and Uranus conjunct that ascendant. Then we're your new best friend. One of my best friends from high school said something about me being so mysterious, when we'd been over here for a few years. I think she just didn't get that I wasn't doing that much. I am private about some things, though. When I open up, it all comes out, which freaks me out, and other people, so... Over the last few hours, I've had things pop up that I've been thinking about. I was thinking about my MC in Leo, yesterday, and how I wish I could dress up (wish I had the money, and the excuse to). I have a 6th house Sun, and I tend to just fade into the background, but I don't always want to do that. I feel like it's the same way I get every year, trying to grow stuff in the garden. I get frustrated with the weeding, or not doing well (it seems to get worse every year), and I just vent something like, "I'm a city girl!! What am I doing?!"

I took this picture with instagram, and just downloaded it with the computer, from a book I bought last night, by Jenny Lawson. Something here reminded me of that. I think it resonates with my Mars in Pisces + Scorpio ascendant. Attachments:

Thanks for sharing that, teasel.
I feel really badly for anyone with anxiety - it's just the worst feeling. I can't deal with it at all and would go to great lengths to avoid it.

Hmm... As a Scorpio ASC, people have described me as intense, but it's not like I am trying to be intense. It is my aura after all. That tidbit with the ASC being in an early degree and the Sun being in a weak position definitely made sense for me; it helps me understand why I feel more connected to my Scorpio ASC rather than my Aquarius Sun (Scorpio ASC at 0 degrees, Aqua Sun on IC in 4th). The thing is though, I come off intense and am intense on the inside as well, which is why I always had a problem with people describing the ASC as just "a mask".
I am more of the quiet Scorpio Risings that exist out there. Approachable wouldn't be a word you would use to describe me, and if someone does approach me out of the blue it's almost annoying. I take my alone time very seriously and not being able to have that time to myself to go through all of my emotions and feelings drives me insane (that could be a combined Scorpio+Aquarius trait). I am not always intense, but sometimes when I feel like I am not feeling anything I start to feel like something is seriously wrong with myself.
I appear more calm and composed, relaxed, I try to keep that image up even if I am internally going through an emotional crisis. I could be fuming with rage on the inside and I will try to hide all of that rage inside of me, but the brooding intensity that comes from my feelings leaks out to an extent and people will notice it. Ayyries had a great descriptor for the Scorpio ASC, saying that it's like a boiling pot of water and you put the lid over the pot. There's still going to be some steam that comes out of the pot and that is the intensity other see and feel from me, when inside it's like a volcano.

One interesting thing I'm beginning to notice about them is that, in my experience, they often have sort of square faces with just a bit of a point at the chin. Not to sound unflattering, just the same way that Leo Asc people often have angular facial structures. I think the intensity of their eyes may be affected more or less by other factors, as I've noticed that some have the "resting b*tch face" that I described (not that they're trying to, I think it's just sort of a stare, lol), but some may have a softer or more transparent expression or eye contact, while some glare straight into your bones. Anyway, just noticing these similarities with the ones I know who are or aren't related. Come to think, my mom's eyes are a lot like Robin Williams's were, and she's also a Cancer Sun. Peering, but with a touch of sadness. Similar eye shapes as well.

Peering, but with a touch of sadness. Similar eye shapes as well. I've been told that I have a "look" that I don't think is intentional. My sister pointed it out to me in photos from New Year's Eve, ten years ago. She pointed and said, "See?! There it is!" I smile a lot out in public, once I'm around people. I must look like an idiot at times - it's a nervous habit. When I'm in a really awful mood, I've caught sight of myself in mirrors as I'm walking through a store, and stepped back in horror at the grimace on my face. I can be really awkward, or have people approach me out of nowhere. Last year, I had a woman rush over to me in the grocery store, to offer me a coupon for the bag of kale or spinach I'd just grabbed. Occasionally, there will be a douche like the one last September, who mocked my accent loudly, when we stopped in for a burger at the Dairy Queen, after walking the dogs. I was going to walk over and ask him if he really knew what the word "Wanker" meant, and if he really wanted to be using that word around his little son, when they left. That was two months after we lost mum, and I was in no mood to be polite. I saw something about Scorpio risings being noticed, wherever they go. I had the opposite happen last Saturday. I could have walked off with plants twice, at the market. I even followed the first guy around, trying to give him my money, and he kept rushing off with other people. Another guy who was selling a few things for him, that I'd spoken to, finally came over to me and took the money. Another sweet older guy who called me "little one" suddenly didn't see me, when I was standing there ready to pay him. A young guy had to get his attention, and take the money for him. He was all apologetic, and it made me smile - he really was sweet - but I go through periods of time when I seem to disappear, even though I'm right there.
