With Leo rising in your horoscope, your initial approach to situations is to
make a personal impression on them.  Your natural way of organising your imm-
ediate experience is to attempt to impose your own personal stamp of authority
upon it, for you act with a conscious sense of your own validity as a unique
individual with all the rights and responsibilities that this entails.  Thus
you come across, at least initially, as a person with marked poise and self-
confidence, with a liking for being at the centre of things.  People will ad-
mire your simple honesty and integrity, and will back you in your schemes,
provided they feel that you are supporting them too, and that you are not just
out to hog the limelight.  Leo rising gives you considerable enthusiasm and a
bright disposition, but to make the most of your talents, you need to ensure
that your rather dramatic approach to life also serves a deeper purpose, or
you will earn a reputation for selfishness, particularly if you are intolerant
of anyone who happens to hold a different point of view from yourself, or if
you do not learn to take second place gracefully on occasion.
With Virgo rising at the time of your birth, your initial approach to life is
governed by a conscious awareness of the importance of meticulous attention
to detail.  Thus you attempt to organise both yourself and other people eff-
iciently, realising that in any undertaking it is essential that the wheels
run smoothly.  Your concentration on detail will be apparent to others, and
you will therefore come across, at least initially, as placing less emphasis
on yourself and your own wishes than you do on making the world a tidier and
more efficient place.  Although your ability to help in any practical under-
taking is highly useful, you need to ensure that you do not place the needs
of other people or society above your own deeper needs and wishes, feeling
that you have to get the world into some sort of order before you can start
to enjoy yourself.  It is important that you channel your efficiency towards
achieving some previously defined goal, rather than getting obsessionally
wrapped up in a frenzy of activity for its own sake, and you also need to
remember the importance of emotional as well as practical considerations.
With Libra rising, your initial approach to life is governed by your con-
scious understanding that there is a theoretical framework beyond the world
of individual human aspirations, emotions and practical considerations.
You therefore approach the world with a view towards developing a general
blueprint or ideal as to how the world ticks.  You are therefore friendly
and sociable, since you need to talk to many different people in pursuit
of knowledge, though your concentration on the framing of general rules
about human behaviour is likely to make it hard for you to be pinned down
on any particular issue, hence a likely reputation for indecision or lack
of commitment.  Also, you may find a problem in close relationships where
the other person may expect a more personal commitment than you feel able
to give: in some ways you are too fair!  While your intellectual quest may
take you a long way towards understanding, you will only make the most of
your opportunities if you are able to appreciate that there are other re-
alities apart from scientific and theoretical ones.
With Scorpio rising, your initial approach to life is governed by a consc-
ious awareness on your part of the importance of emotional considerations in
any human activity.  You are keenly in touch with your own feelings, and you
are probably good at sussing out how others are likely to be feeling too.
The result is that you come across as an emotionally intense person, with a
great deal of "presence".  You may not say too much in words, realising
that action based on feeling can speak louder than words, and you may there-
fore have a reputation for being somewhat self-contained and reserved.  In
return you may be distrustful of those who talk too much and say too little
and you are likely to respond with less verbal reactions of disapproval!
Your emotional approach to life probably stems from a keen inclination to-
wards self-preservation; your ability to sense an atmosphere long before
others allows you to prepare for fight or flight.  You are good at both,
but if you are to develop your penetrating potential to the full, you need
to develop more trust, recognising that there are other options.
