With Aries rising in your chart, your initial approach to situations is to
attempt to deal with them directly and immediately.  Your natural way of org-
anising your immediate experience is motivated by a powerful, albeit unconsc-
ious, sense of personal urgency, and you throw yourself into life spontane-
ously and with vigour.  Thus whatever the rest of your psychological make-up,
you come across initially as being a dynamic assertive person with consider-
able self-confidence.  You appear to act very much on impulse, and you may
well have a reputation for hastiness, for you tend to act and react to situ-
ations very fast.  Act first and think later might be your motto.  However,
your eagerness to enter into situations directly may lead to problems unless
you are able to develop qualities of perseverence, forward planning and an
awareness of others' feelings in addition to your continuous tendency to
seek new situations and experiences by "making waves".  You will make the best
of your potential if you learn to channel your enthusiasm constructively, as
you have a considerable amount of power at your disposal.
With Taurus rising in your horoscope, your initial approach to life is to
attempt to deal with it systematically.  Your natural way of organising your
immediate experience is motivated by a strongly developed ability to perceive
the details in the material world around you, even though you may not be con-
sciously aware of this, since it is unconsciously based.  You therefore show
a keen awareness of the world around you, and you process your experience
through your senses.  This takes some time, and you are likely to come across
as a cautious methodical person who is well grounded in the material world,
and who recognises the potential therein, as well as the limitations of mat-
erial reality.  You are likely to explore the world through your physical
senses, and you believe strongly in the value of personal experience in dec-
iding on a course of action.  You may be rather sceptical about matters of
which you have no direct experience, and you need to develop an ability to
place your experiences within a broader framework in order to avoid the rep-
utation for being too "down to earth".
With Gemini rising, your initial approach to life is to attempt to analyse
all experience with the aim of forming a theory as to how the world ticks.
Your natural way of organising your immediate experience is motivated by
an unconscious drive to understand the world according to an idiosyncratic
theoretical model.  You are therefore likely to be highly inquisitive and
curious about the world around you and about other people, and you are
highly developed in the science of lateral thinking.  You ask a lot of
questions, with the aim of adding to your store of knowledge, and you
come across as being quite talkitive.  However, since you operate on
your own individual wavelength, others are likely to see you as being
quite unpredictable, and perhaps superficial, since you tend to jump from
one topic to another rather quickly, since you see connections where others
do not.  You need to learn to give depth to your understanding, and to find
some practical framework within which to apply it, in addition to accepting
the wishes and feelings of others, even if they fail to fit into your system.
With Cancer rising, your initial approach to life is highly subjective, for
you attempt to respond to situations in such a way that you feel emotionally
secure.  Your natural way of organising your immediate experiences is to
place a value judgement upon them, as to whether you feel good or bad about
them. This is not a conscious exercise on your part, it is just the way you
handle your experiences.  Since your value judgements are entirely personal,
and since your past feeling states influence your present emotional status
so strongly, you come across as a sensitive emotional person.  You have a
long memory for emotionally charged events, both good and bad, and show a
tendency towards prejudice based upon your subjective experiences.  Whilst
this means that you may be empathetic and caring, attributing feelings as
strong as your own to other people, it can also indicate oversensitivity,
unless you are able to develop some degree of detachment from your resp-
onses, checking out that what was once perhaps an appropriate attitude in
the past is equally suitable in the light of your present needs.
