You’re probably aware that some zodiac signs are more common than others. For example, you likely know a bunch of Leos and Capricorns. But when it comes to your rising sign, the distribution across the zodiac wheel isn’t so even. In fact, one rising sign stands out as the rarest of all – Pisces. If your chart shows a Pisces ascendant, you’re part of an elite group. Yes, you read that right!
What Is A Pisces Rising?
If you have a Pisces rising sign, you’re part of an exclusive club. Only about 1 in 12 people are born with Pisces rising, making it the least common ascendant out there. As an astrologist, I’ve analyzed tons of birth charts over the years. Honestly, I haven’t come across too many folks with this ascendant.
Now, having Pisces rising means that zodiac sign was on the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born, down to the hour and minute. This gives you a dreamy, intuitive, and empathetic outer persona.
With your sun sign shaping your inner self and ascendant influencing how you present to others, Pisces risings are often described as old souls. You have a deep connection to spiritual and creative worlds.
You’re artistic, intuitive, you understand people on a deep level, and simply put – you’re like an angel in human form. Pisces rising is the only ascendant that doesn’t quite feel human, if that makes sense. You feel others’ emotions, see through facades, and are highly empathetic with a desire to help people. You’re also very spiritual.
There’s a sense of otherworldliness about you that intrigues people, even if you don’t see it yourself. You flow through life with a poetic grace, feeling connected to something greater. Though rare, the Pisces ascendant is a gift that lets you channel compassion, beauty, and spirit into the world.
A Sensitive Soul
Pisces risings tend to be deeply intuitive, empathetic and spiritual. You can just sense what people are feeling even before they say anything. That level of empathy is really special and allows you to form really deep bonds. But it also means you’re great at picking up on stress or negative vibes from others, too.
You just soak it all in without even trying. It’s like you walk into a room and instantly know the vibe. That heightened sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse – you connect so well with people but also tend to take on their energy, good and bad.
An Imaginative Mind
With Neptune as your ruling planet, it’s no surprise you’ve got a wild imagination and are super creative. You tend to see the world through rose-colored shades we all wish we had. On the bright side, this gives you such a magical spirit! But it can also make things seem a little too good to be true sometimes.
Unless you’ve got some grounded energy from places like Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, you might find yourself being a bit too trusting. People can take advantage of that big heart of yours and use you without you even realizing it.
A Peaceful Presence
There’s something mysterious yet calming about Pisces risings. Your relaxed and tender soul has a way of making folks feel comfortable in your presence without even trying. People simply enjoy being around you – and the funny thing is, when you ask them why, they can’t quite put their finger on it!
All they know is that spending time with you feels good. It’s like you carry this magnetic energy that draws others in but also washes over them with calm.
Addictions
Being super spiritual, deep and sensitive isn’t always easy sailing. A lot of people with their rising sign in Pisces tend to struggle with addictions of all kinds. We’re talking video games, alcohol, drugs, or even being hooked on certain people or things. It’s like they’re looking to escape and take a break from all the crap in the world for a while.
They also often get hooked on dreaming about people. A lot of times, unfortunately, things don’t work out how they hope and it takes them forever to accept that someone they loved secretly or openly doesn’t feel the same way. Addiction is a big theme for people with their Pisces rising.
Appearance
As a Pisces ascendant, people may describe you as beautiful. Not in a super sexy way like those Scorpios or in a gorgeous type of way like Libras. But you’ve got your own unique kind of look going on.
It could be something about your eyes – they’re just straight-up beautiful or straight-up different from everyone else’s. Or maybe it’s the way you carry yourself, all fluid and graceful like the ocean. Or your voice could be music to the ears.
You radiate beauty. But it’s not your typical Hollywood beauty. It’s deeper than that. It’s yours and yours alone. And that makes you pretty beautiful.
Looking “High”
With Neptune as your ruling planet, you have an imaginative spirit and dreamy quality about you. Most people would say you’ve got a dreamy quality about you. They might think you seem a little “out there” sometimes, too, because you can seem detached from reality.
I’m sure you’ve had it happen before – someone’s explaining something to you, and you’re listening very close, but then they stop and ask, “Are you even with me right now?”. You’re probably thinking “Of course I’m listening! What do you mean?” Even though you’re paying attention inside, on the outside, you might look like your mind is elsewhere.
Your Eyes
Pisces rising gives you a dreamy, wistful charm and soft, soulful eyes. It’s no wonder people think you have your head in the clouds. Your eyes are always wandering around the room or right through whoever’s talking to you.
Legs And Feet
With lower legs and especially feet being your ruling body part, you’ve probably had some experiences with them, for better or worse. Chances are you’ve dealt with foot problems before or maybe you really appreciate the female foot (if that’s your thing).
You might also be a total sneakerhead and always need the latest pair, even if your closet is bursting. Or you might walk a little funny without realizing it. I’ve even heard of people feeling like their feet aren’t touching the ground when they walk! No matter what, though, it’s clear there’s something unique about how your feet work.
My Final Words
Pisces is the rarest and most magical rising sign. You should use it to your advantage. And don’t let anyone take advantage of you, either. With Pisces rising, you can really get a feel for people – see right through them and know what they’re really about. Don’t ignore those instincts. If someone’s giving off bad vibes or you think they might have an ulterior motive, trust yourself on that.
