Famous Virgo Risings
Virgo rising is the first impression of someone careful, composed and quietly in control. Famous Virgo risings include Madonna, Dolly Parton, Marlene Dietrich and Timothée Chalamet.
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. Virgo rising, ruled by Mercury, gives a manner that is observant, precise and modest on the surface, with a sharp eye for detail underneath.
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 Virgo Rising means: the guide
What they share
Each of them is known for control over their own image. Madonna, with her Virgo Moon right on her Ascendant, has planned every reinvention herself for four decades. Dolly Parton, with her Moon in Virgo too, built a glamorous image on top of hard, careful work as a songwriter and businesswoman. Marlene Dietrich knew exactly how she wanted to be lit and filmed, and Timothée Chalamet, born on the same day of the year 94 years later with almost the same Ascendant, is known for long, careful preparation for every role.
