Ascending or Rising sign rules Personality?

I tought the same once in the past, but it's not true. Your sun sign rules you. However your rising is also big part of your personality. Sun sign is 50% , Rising 30% , Moon 10% and rest are others.
I have a rising sign in Aquarious, how exactly does the rising sign influence you?

"I have an aquarius rising and although my cap sun comes into play with my interaction with people I have seen that I do sometimes "rebel" against stuff that I don't like or don't think is right and think about things that don't concern me personally. I read primegans post on the aquarius rising and it fits me to a T. People say that I dress very unconservatively unlike my reputation as a "cap". I also like to try different things although I don't risk going into things I can sense being too out of the ordinary and I am a person who likes to be constantly on the move."

I have an Aquarious Rising also, and i experience pretty much what u described above, i always just thought it was the Gemini Sun until i started taking a closer look at the differences between Gemini and Aquarious.

I read somewhere that your rising traits surface when under pressure... or that your first and immediate reactions are influenced by your rising... ? Not sure. I don't read much into astrology but I feel quite Tauresy 
I feel some scorp like traits sometimes if we blame astrology of course, I say it just because they aren't described by my sun so they come from elsewhere right? When I was younger I used to be very confused, I thought I was at war with myself... I felt one way but thought I should react to something another way... I so badly wanted to control myself, be rigid with myself, be 'good' but it was a control thing over myself... but the way I felt was different but I wanted to control that too. For example I felt vengeful but I thought to myself that I should be forgiving and humble and that was what made a person strong and great... the power to let go. ?? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally decided that I was who I was and was ok with reacting two very different ways in the same situation if that's how I felt at the moment, just be. Twice I've been told that I have a double personality and other times that they can't figure me out and once that I was extreme... although I feel like I give the world one consistent 'face' but I'm not sure I'm just that...
I wonder if your sign being in opposition with your rising means anything? For example scorp is the opposite of taurus or like aquaj who has the opposite leo rising also. What kind of effect would that have?
Anywho if I follwed Haffs formula I'd be 60% bull and 30% scorp and 10% lil o this and lil o that

"Yes, I've also read that our rising sign is our social mask, which I think links well to psychology and understanding motivation. Everyone has a social mask and an inner self. The inner self is shown to intimates, family, and friends. The social mask is shown to acquaintances, bosses, doctors, parole officers, or in formal or uncomfortable situations. I have a Libra rising, so I project Libra-ism to the world. In a sense, Libra is my disguise. Aquarian is how I see myself, as do others who are close to me, because I feel comfortable enough to show my true self to them."
i've thought about something like that myself, and i really like how you've linked psychology with astrology. i think that is definately the best way to go when striving to fully understand individuals, becuz astrology/psychology can both support one another effectively when given the opportunity to go hand-in-hand.
for instance, phenotype can be explained through psychology, whereas genotype can be explained through astrology. so i guess you can say that "astrology" fills in the gaps for what is already known within "psychology" to begin with. but yes, i really enjoyed your comment on that. lots of props to you, for damn sure.
