Capricorn rising (a Capricorn Ascendant) means Capricorn was climbing over the eastern horizon when you were born. You come across as serious, capable and self-contained. People see you as mature and reliable, often older than your years, and they trust you with responsibility.
What Capricorn rising means
Your rising sign describes how you meet the world: your first impression, your instinctive reactions and the way you begin things. With Capricorn rising, that style is unmistakably Capricorn, whatever your Sun sign is. Many people with a Capricorn Ascendant say it describes them better than their Sun sign does — at least until people get to know them.
