rising sign vs sun sign

your sun sign is your core self: what you want, what drives you and what you are becoming. your rising sign is your outside: the first impression, the way you dress, the way you react before you think.

this is why a lot of girls get told "you don't seem like a cancer". if she is a cancer sun with a leo rising, people meet the leo first. the soft cancer side only shows once they get close.
