Pisces rising (a Pisces Ascendant) means Pisces was climbing over the eastern horizon when you were born. You come across as gentle, dreamy and sensitive. People experience you as kind and approachable, and they often feel understood around you.
What Pisces rising means
Your rising sign describes how you meet the world: your first impression, your instinctive reactions and the way you begin things. With Pisces rising, that style is unmistakably Pisces, whatever your Sun sign is. Many people with a Pisces Ascendant say it describes them better than their Sun sign does — at least until people get to know them.
