Gemini Rising
Meaning of Rising Sign
Gemini rising means that Gemini was the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. As a Gemini rising, you're ruled by air, and your ruling planet is Mercury, the planet of technology, intellect and communication.
Appearance
Gemini energy is extremely excitable, frenetic and swift. So, if you think about this in terms of body structure, Gemini rising people tend to have lean, tall and limber bodies. Not only will their body be long, but their limbs will be lengthy as well (think: legs, arms and fingers). Finally, many a Gemini rising has eyes that truly sparkle like stars.
Because Gemini energy is a bit erratic, this rising sign tends to acquire very fast movements. They might have the “shakes,” walk exceedingly fast or bop their knee up and down when concentrating or talking.
Gemini is the sign of the Twins, which is typically symbolic of children. Thus, Gemini rising people tend to look very youthful and vibrant. They might look younger than their age (and act like it, too).
But, in general, a Gemini rising could not care less about what their body looks like—as it's all in the mind for them. What they lack in musculature, they make up for in smarts, wit and humor.

Personality
No one—not even themselves—can keep up with a Gemini rising. This placement is extraordinarily quick-moving. They do everything fast. They think fast, reply fast, walk fast, eat fast and, simply, live … fast.
While you might assume that this makes for a very proactive and efficient person, Gemini rising isn't it. This sign doesn't do well with follow-through and doesn't like the idea of staying tied down to one thing if they lose interest (which is a lot of the time). In a million and one ideas, it's maybe the “one” that they will actually spend time on.
But don't let this bother you. Gemini rising personalities are the best when you need a good pick-me-up. Their optimism and excitement for life are infectious. They'll have you up and moving in no time.
What's more: They will stimulate you as well. Ruled by Mercury, Gemini is a never-ending thinker. With an attitude that believes we're always learning, this sign loves to learn and is always garnering new hobbies. On the flip side, get ready for an inordinate amount of questions from a Gemini rising if you're introducing them to a new topic of interest.
The first impression a Gemini rising gives off to others is someone lively, and exciting, who always has a story to tell. Get lost in their infectious excitement. Feed off their boundless energy.
However, this rising sign can come across as overly talkative (or even rude if they aren't letting others speak) and very eager. But no one can fault a Gemini rising for being too friendly! Most of them can make friends with anyone.
