What Pisces Rising means
With Pisces rising, your first impression is gentle, dreamy and kind. People often feel instantly understood around you. You may have expressive, soulful eyes and a presence that seems to shift depending on who you're with.
You approach life intuitively, picking up on undercurrents and following your feelings. That makes you compassionate and creative, but also absorbent — you can take on other people's moods. Neptune and, traditionally, Jupiter rule your chart, and their placements show where your imagination and faith are strongest.
