Virgo rising (a Virgo Ascendant) means Virgo was climbing over the eastern horizon when you were born. You come across as composed, observant and helpful. People see you as competent and modest, and they often come to you for practical advice.
What Virgo rising means
Your rising sign describes how you meet the world: your first impression, your instinctive reactions and the way you begin things. With Virgo rising, that style is unmistakably Virgo, whatever your Sun sign is. Many people with a Virgo Ascendant say it describes them better than their Sun sign does — at least until people get to know them.
