With your Rising Sign (Ascendant) in Scorpio, you are passionate, determined, secretive and mysterious. You put great passion and intensity into everything you do, to the point of obsession. Penetrating eyes are one of the most visible characteristics of this Rising Sign, which convey an appearance of 'looking right through' people and give evidence of the underlying powers of concentration. You consider yourself a risk taker, in a sense, feeding on the adrenaline rush of risk ventures, but care should be taken that in extending yourself (your time, money or energy) speculatively, your efforts should lead to beneficial ends rather than doing things for the thrill of it. You are seeker after truth, on whatever level that truth happens to be (philosophical truth, truth of one's circumstances, etc.), making it difficult for anyone to deceive you or to put something past you. Along the same lines, you won't put up with 'phonies' or those whose intentions are less than honorable.
