i haven't been on here for 10 months but i read the leo rising description and it made me laugh so hard because most of it is very true. i've always been athletic and people always describe me as looking "strong" and "sturdy". the best part is "big bust" LOL i've been big busted since before adolescence struck me. i do have slender legs and always thought i had knobby knees but now that i look at them, i don't think they're knobby anymore. the only part that's not me is the commanding voice... i have a very soft low voice and it hurts my throat to speak loudly but i assume that has something to do with my pisces moon and having saturn in my 3rd house.
thanks for the descriptions! it's been quite wonderful!
Leo rising has a rectangular or squarish head.
Honor, integrity, courage, directness and honesty are the values of the balanced Leo rising person. The energy is that of one that wants to be recognized or dealt with. They can have a crude and loud approach (unless the humility of water or earth factors intervene) or a royal bearing, but they won't be ignored. The voice can be very appealing if soft or commanding if louder. Many are capable of great volumes that resonate from the chest, thus there are many actors and singers with this Ascendant sign.
The men tend to baldness. The eyes are often large or bulging, but can be especially attractive and magnetic. The eyes are more often widely-spaced than with any other sign. There can be a barrel chest with men and large bust with many of the women, but whatever the details, there is a strong, commanding presence or a statuesque look about them, whether slender or bulky. The frame is often large and the body sturdy, even blocky, but some are taller and more athletic. Some are swaybacked as if pushing out the chest with pride. With many there is an emphasis on upper body while the legs are skinny and knees knobby. They know they can be somebody, but some may stretch too hard in their ambition. They are natural leaders that radiate vitality and magnanimity.
