Here’s a brief rundown of each rising sign and its corresponding lesson, and physical appearance:
Aries Rising:
Accepted behavior: To learn behavior that will foster courage throughout
life, and encourage the ability to stand up for themselves. The family situation might test their resolve, and provoke them into fighting for a role as leader in the family.
Physical traits: Assertive personality. Noticeable Aries glyph in face
with eyebrows and forehead prominent.
Taurus rising:
Accepted behavior: To learn stability and allow the body and soul to relax
and just take it easy. The family situation might have to do with this
person being the breadwinner; money will be an important issue in life.
Physical traits: Little or no neck, possible sensual melodious voice,
stocky body. Sensual, tactile, and slow moving.

Accepted behavior: To speak out when necessary; to articulate one’s ideas
and give them form to those around them. To make their voice heard in familial
situations.

area is well developed.
Leo rising:

and accept the applause of the world. To “perform” and act a role that
