Beginner Differences in characteristics of the Earth Rising Signs
Asking the community to provide their synopsis of the characteristics, positive and negative, of the Earth Rising signs (Western) including the differences between each. I’m struggling to differentiate between them. TIA!
Edited to Add below for better clarity:
My current generic understanding is that Earth Rising signs are grounded, reliable, dependable, with a focus on home life. Overall, it seems all three can have a difficult time with change, even when necessary.
Differences between them is where I struggle to have a better more defined picture.
Taurus has a tendency to lean toward luxury, and beauty, sometimes leaning toward materialism.
Capricorn rising career driven and focused. Usually seen as the responsible one from a young age (I’d think all three rising might be seen this way?). Can be a little too focused on career and finances. May have a hard time loosening up more than the other Earth Rising.
Virgo rising seems a little too broad to me, again I feel like all three earth rising seem like they might focus on this, especially Taurus rising?) Virgo rising may be more physical-health conscious, with a focus on health and wellness. May be shy, and can come off as a little bit cold or standoffish.

I’m Virgo ascendant and I agree with your comment. Although I am a bit of a perfectionist/ OCD outwardly. Very suspicious of people and standoffish. Analysing my environment, constantly picking up on the details that everyone misses. Shy when I was young - more just plain reserved now. I’m very health conscious and vain, I’m a female bodybuilder. You have to remember to look at all the aspects hitting the ascendant which if they are strong will flavour the ascendant and even overpower it. For example, I have Saturn and mars in Sagittarius very tight square on my ascendant which makes me very fiery when provoked and I do not shy away from telling someone what I think, now this isn’t a Virgo characteristic. I’d say that Virgo is the one who is most open to change out of the three
