How can you tell whether you are a rising Leo?
People typically perceive Leo risings as self-assured, energetic, and enjoyable. When you walk into a room, people quickly notice that you have a flair for the theatrical. You are very creative, whether you engage in the arts or simply have an amazing Instagram feed. Others are motivated to live their best lives when they see you doing so. The summer is Leo season, and you always have that careless, happy disposition. The kid of the zodiac is another name for this sign. You are moment-focused, like children, yet you may also be a touch demanding. Don’t let the haters get you down; some people can’t keep up with your fire enthusiasm. You were born to be in the spotlight because Leo’s ruling planet is the strong sun (and likely have great hair and a fantastic sense of style).
What sign do you rise under?
Every planet was positioned in a different configuration at the exact moment you inhaled your first breath. Your “birth chart” (or “natal chart”) is a snapshot of the sky taken at the precise moment of your birth and is based on the exact time, place, and day of your arrival. According to astrologers, birth charts can offer profound insight into a person’s personality, identity, and drive, as well as opportunity, timing, and even the recurrent themes they have encountered throughout their lives.
Perhaps I’m a little (a lot) biased, but I find birth charts to be quite remarkable; they combine dozens upon dozens of data points to show the sky as a tidy and organized circle accented by various shapes and symbols (representing the planets and celestial bodies). While the placement of the planets varies from person to person, the birth chart’s overall designa perfect 360-degree circleremains constant. And the Rising Sign is the one who rules that constant shape.
The zodiac sign that was rising (or ascending, which is why it’s sometimes referred to as the “Ascendant”) in the eastern horizon when you were born is referred to as the Rising Sign. Even while the stars appear static to the unaided eye, the sky above actually changes very quickly. The Rising Sign is also a highly delicate location because the Ascendant switches zodiac signs every two hours, thus you must know your precise birth time in order to determine it.
Check your birth certificate or text a parent to confirm your precise time of birth, then visit your chosen astrology website or app (I suggest TimePassages, which has been around since the 1980s) to see your birth chart and identify your Rising Sign.
How do Leo risings appear?

Leo Sun Moon Rising: What is it?
The ways in which you portray yourself to others and the manner in which you react instantly to the environment around you are revealed by your Leo Ascendant (or Rising Sign). It also outlines the kinds of experiences need to give your life purpose.
What three varieties of Leos are there?
Leos with Mercury in Leo, Leos with Mercury in Cancer, and Leos with Mercury in Virgo are the three different sorts of Leo Suns. Additionally, the Mercuries of Leos with Leo Mercury are either in the morning phase, the evening phase, or are combust.
People occasionally discuss how distinct July Leos are from August Leos. Not all Leos born in July or August have Mercury in Cancer or Virgo, respectively. It is more likely for a July Leo to have a Cancer Mercury and for an August Leo to have a Virgo Mercury because Mercury is never farther from the Sun than 28o.
Leo with Cancer Mercury: Community Leader
Cancer and Leo Mercury is a classic Leo who gathers everyone who has ever experienced loneliness under one roof or endeavor. They are generous with the amount of information they share about themselves, but they also want others to feel free to let their own light shine. They enjoy throwing a fantastic party and making space, but they don’t hold gatherings only to brag. They have a photographic memory and can recall the names and faces of anyone.
These are the individuals who welcome you as soon as you enter a space. They are the affable Leos who always have time for one more buddy despite having a million. They can experience exhaustion as a result of not wanting to disappoint anyone. They use their own time and energy as though they were a limitless supply.
The Leos and Cancer Mercuries value loyalty highly. When you join their family, they begin to treat you almost like a childa thing that needs their time and attention to develop. They detest it when people take them for granted or somehow betray them because it feels like their hearts are being directly taken from them.
Why is Leo a Cancer? Where there was previously no family, Mercury excels at creating it. They may refer to themselves as the mom friend since they provide everyone with a bottle of water or a bag of chips. They prepare themselves excessively and consider what other people could require in order to anticipate their demands. When they don’t receive the same level of consideration and thoughtfulness in return as they do, they can become frustrated.
Leo with Leo Mercury: Reluctant space maker
There are three different types of Leos with Leo Mercury: Leos with Mercury as their morning star, Leos with Mercury as their evening star, and Leos with Mercury combust.
Mercury combust Leos are extremely imaginative. They do, however, occasionally experience frustration since family expectations have given them specific values regarding which opinions merit hearing and which voices do not. They have occasionally been taught that you must control others and occupy space in order to be heard.
People with combust Mercuries in Leo frequently feel incapable of handling difficult situations and withdraw. They occasionally engage in the painful act of occupying space from others because of a perceived paucity of attention in other contexts where they feel more comfortable. When they act in this way, Combust Leo Mercury people are devastated because they believe they have emulated the emotional tendencies of those who have wronged them.
Similarities exist among Leo Mercury holders who are not combust. Leos are slightly more sociable but still independent thinkers when Mercury is in the morning star phase, though. Leos are a little less social when Mercury is in the evening star phase, yet they secretly seek to others for inspiration.
Leo with Virgo Mercury: Project Manager
A little more somber are these Leos. They are the kind of Leos who will love you fiercely while they are in love with you but will cut you to the quick if you betray them. The Leo you picture when you think of Leos is not the Leo with Virgo Mercury. They’re adroit They constantly observe other people, yet they don’t always voice their ideas. Instead, they respect your space and demand that you respect their own.
The art of portraying oneself in public as though they were trained actors is practiced by Leos with Virgo Mercury. This does not imply that they are deceitful. In fact, Leos despise all forms of dishonesty. Instead, because they occasionally question whether people truly care about them for who they are, Leos with Virgo Mercury put on a show to demonstrate that they are larger than life. Additionally, Leos must be accepted for who they truly are.
These Leos devote so much time and energy to their relationships that they occasionally behave as though they were working two jobs. They make emotional labor a labor of love. For anyone and anyone, they give their all.
Leo with Virgo Mercury expresses their desires plainly, as opposed to Leo with Cancer Mercury. They don’t skirt the issue. As long as you do not question their authority, Leo with Virgo Mercury shines in a professional context since they are huge dreamers who know how to pull everyone forward together.
Is August 22 in Virgo or Leo?
Every year on August 22 or 23, the sun exits Leo and enters Virgo.
Therefore, there is a possibility that you identify with the characteristics of a Leo-Virgo cusp sign if your birthday falls on or near those dates. The notion that those who are born in the start or last days of a zodiac sign’s season are “cusp babies” (who have energies that combine those of both zodiac signs) is untrue. It has no astrological foundation at all! This is so because planets can never be in more than one sign of the zodiac at once. Therefore, even if you were born in the nick of time before the end of the Leo season, you are still a pure Leo and not a so-called Leo-Virgo cusp. I don’t want to break any cusp baby bubbles, but I’m here to spill the cosmic beans as an astrologer.
Nevertheless, just because cusp signs aren’t genuine doesn’t mean a person born close to the beginning of an astrological season can’t seem like a fusion of two signs. There are several reasons why you might be a cusp signLeo or Virgoand experience the impact of both signs on your personality. You can learn more about these causes by examining your birth chart. Mercury and Venus, which are personal planets, always move next to the sun in the zodiac. If you are a Leo, there is a good probability that one of your personal planets is in Virgo, and vice versa if you are a Virgo. Understanding Leo-Virgo cusp attributes is significant because this would endow you with a combination of traits from both Leo and Virgo zodiac signs, however it wouldn’t be directly related to the cusp’s proximity to your birthdate.
After that, let’s discuss the energy triad of Leo and Virgo. Each year towards the end of August, when the sun moves from Leo to Virgo, we begin the final phase of the countdown to autumn. Summer’s peak is when Leo season occurs, and this hot energy is all about maximizing our desires in the blazing sunshine. But as we prepare to enter the fall, Virgo season is more about organizing and decluttering our lives. The vitality of each sign builds upon the previous one as the zodiac ascends, mirroring our yearly cycle through the seasons. All zodiac signs will therefore experience an energetic shift each year as the sun crosses the Leo-Virgo border. Understanding Leo-Virgo cusp features can therefore be beneficial for everyone, not just those who were born with both influences in their charts.
Although there aren’t any cusp signs in astrology, if your chart has a lot of combined Leo and Virgo zodiac energy, you may identify with some of the characteristics of a Leo-Virgo cusp.
Can I determine my rising sign without knowing my birth time?
You must know your precise birth time in order to establish your rising sign. This is due to the rising sign’s bi-hourly fluctuation. Fortunately, your birth time is recorded on your birth certificate.
What other term does a rising sign go by?
If astrology is new to you, you could simply be aware of your Sun sign. But each of us also has a variety of additional signs, such as the Moon, Mars, Pluto, etc. Imagine your birth chart as a photograph of the sky at the time of your birth. The location of each type of sign indicates where that planet or luminarythe term used in astrology for the Sun and Moonwas when you arrived on Earth. The Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, comes next. This one tells what sign was rising over the eastern horizon when you were born.
