Famous Scorpio Risings
Scorpio rising is the first impression of depth: magnetic, watchful and hard to read. Famous Scorpio risings include Grace Kelly, Nicole Kidman, Christian Dior, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross.
The Rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign that was coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It describes how a person meets the world and how the world first sees them. Scorpio rising, ruled by Mars in traditional astrology and by Pluto in modern astrology, gives a manner that is intense, composed and private: people feel its presence before they know anything about it.
The Rising sign changes about every two hours, so it can only be known with a birth time. This page shows only charts with a time on record, rated AA or A.

What Scorpio Rising means: the guide
What they share
Each of them is famous, and each kept a great deal back. Grace Kelly had the Sun, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio in her 1st house as well, and left Hollywood at the height of her fame to become Princess of Monaco. Nicole Kidman's Scorpio Ascendant is joined by Neptune, the planet of film and illusion. Christian Dior was famously shy, yet he changed how women dressed after the war. Aretha Franklin gave few interviews, and Diana Ross, born two years later with the same rising sign, has kept her private life private for six decades.
