Hard to miss
It might be the hair, the posture or just the way you take up your share of a doorway. Leo Rising tends to come across as warm, sure of itself and pleased to be here. You greet people as if they’ve made your evening, which makes them feel good and means they remember you. People often look to you to get things started: to pick the song, make the toast, or decide when it’s time to leave.
The confidence people see first
The likely assumption is that you’re utterly confident, perhaps a bit vain, and that you don’t need much reassurance. Many Leo Risings know how far that is from the truth. Your Moon may be in Virgo, picking apart everything you said on the way home, while everyone else is saying how marvellous you were. You’ve learned that the show goes on, and people often don’t think to ask how you are, since you look so very fine.
Some will read your warmth as arrogance, or assume you want the attention even on days you’d rather disappear. A bad mood is hard to hide, too. When your sparkle dips, people may ask what’s wrong, or even take it personally.
Beyond the big entrance
On a date you’ll probably be good company straight away, and your date may feel they’ve been given a lovely evening. The harder part is letting them see you when you aren’t lit up. Share a doubt. Admit you were nervous about tonight. People tend to feel closer to a person they’ve seen off stage.
If you’ve just met one, don’t assume they don’t need a kind word because they look as though they’ve had plenty. A specific compliment goes a long way here. And since Rising can only be worked out from a birth time, check it’s yours before you take the credit for this entrance.
