Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with some astrology stuff, specifically looking at my sun and rising signs. I’m a Scorpio sun, Libra rising – sounds kinda cool, right? I wanted to see what that actually means in a practical way, beyond just reading generic descriptions online.
First, I grabbed my birth chart. You need your exact birth time for this, which I luckily have from my baby book. I plugged all my info into one of those free online birth chart calculators.
Digging into Scorpio Sun
So, Scorpio sun. Everyone knows Scorpios are supposed to be intense, passionate, and maybe a little secretive. I definitely feel that intensity sometimes. I dove into a few different websites and astrology books I had lying around. I was specifically looking for how this Scorpio energy shows up in my life. It’s not just about being “intense” – it’s about how I approach things, how I feel about things, what motivates me.
- I started journaling about times I felt really strongly about something – good or bad. What triggered it? How did I react?
- I noticed I tend to get really focused on projects, almost obsessively. Like, I’ll spend hours researching something that catches my interest.
- I also realized I’m pretty private about my deeper feelings. I don’t just share that stuff with anyone.
Then, the Libra Rising
Libra rising is all about charm, diplomacy, and a love of beauty. This is supposed to be how I come across to others, my “first impression” vibe. Honestly, this part felt a little harder to pin down. It’s easier to see your own intensity than how others see you, you know?
So, I did something a little awkward. I texted a few close friends and straight-up asked them, “What’s the first thing you think of when you think of me?” I told them to be honest, and thankfully, they were!
- They said things like “calm,” “friendly,” and “stylish.” That definitely fits the Libra description.
- One friend mentioned I always try to see both sides of an argument – another Libra trait.
- It was interesting because it’s not always how I feel inside, but it’s apparently how I project myself.
Putting it Together
The real fun was seeing how these two energies – Scorpio sun and Libra rising – interact. It’s like having this intense, passionate core, but presenting a more balanced, charming exterior.
I started thinking about how this plays out in my daily life. Like, I might have a really strong opinion about something (Scorpio!), but I’ll try to express it in a diplomatic way (Libra!). Or I might be feeling super emotional about something, but I’ll still try to keep a calm appearance.
It’s like an internal balancing act. And honestly, it makes a lot of sense. It helped me understand some of my own contradictions a bit better. It’s not like I’m two different people, but I have these different layers that influence how I interact with the world. I’m not going to say I’m a changed man. But it was a nice little deep into the self.
