Spotting a Libra Rising

AscendantAstrology 101Rising SignVirgo
Written By Antonio Bryant

With the death, resurrection, and ultimate bastardized zombification (I coined a word there, methinks) of TikTok, I will be making long-form versions of those videos on “the YouTube”, as my high school history teacher would say.

With the first series out, a few standalone videos, and the second series well underway, it is going pretty well! 36 subscribers so far!

This is one of the many ways I will use pop culture to help teach you guys about astrology. The faces, bodies, and lives of celebrities can give us good clues about their rising sign.

Thus, when people we know share those attributes and circumstances, we may be able to rectify someones entire chart. All of this done just by observing similarities and coincidences.

Celebrities (from L-R):

  • Harry Styles: Aquarius Sun, Libra Moon, Leo* Midheaven

  • Britney Spears: Sagittairus Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Cancer Midheaven

  • August Alsina: Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Cancer Midheaven

  • Maisie Williams: Aries Sun, Leo Moon, Cancer Midheaven

  • Timothée Chalamet: Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Cancer Midheaven

  • Kendrick Lamar: Gemini Sun, Pisces Moon, Cancer Midheaven

  • Beyoncé Knowles-Carter: Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon, Cancer** Midheaven

  • 21 Savage: Libra Sun, Virgo Moon, Leo Midheaven

    *A whole sign chart for a Libra rising would have their Midheaven in Cancer, like almost all of these folks do, but I read charts using the Placidus system. This means that all of the Angles (Ascendant/Rising, Imum Coeli (IC)/4th House Cusp, Descendant/7th House Cusp, and Midheaven/Medium Coeli (MC)) aren’t always 90º apart, like Libra and Cancer are.

    That said, having your Ascendant and MC in complementary elements (Fire and Air complement one another, as do Water and Earth) seems to enhance the Libra’s ability to allow their aesthetic to influence and enhance their career. Harry’s fashion sense, tattoos, and gender-fluid demeanor do a lot to boost his star power, while 21’s tattoos, entourage, and East Atlanta demeanor do a lot to support his rap career.
