My ZB1 rising sign guesses

I love zb1 and I'm such an astrology nerd so I would like to Speak My Truth to the Internet! (no one has posted their zb1 rising sign guesses/rectified chart attempts so I am trying to prompt others to.)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional! And I make mistakes! And I'm kinda just here for a good time ?!?!?!1?!

Jiwoong: Scorpio rising. His dark, clouded, mysterious eyes and long nose. His chart ruler for this rising would be Libra mars in either the 10th or the 11th house. He'd be a night chart so his benefic of sect would be Venus in the 2nd, which I can't help but feel doesn't really suit him. On top of the fact he doesn't seem necessarily mars-ruled to me. My second guess is Taurus rising. His chart ruler would be Capricorn Venus in the 8th. (Yes...) And he'd have Sun in the 8th, Moon and Mars in the 6th. He'd still have that Scorpio influence in his chart that I think is quite visible in his personality! And I feel like moon in the 6th is quite true to his work ethic and mindset. He puts his heart in the work he does and can't settle or move on until he deems his job done. Always going the extra mile to prove himself and all that he is capable of.

Hanbin: Libra rising. Doll like face, cheeks that easily flush, total charmer with his words and has people falling for him with just a glance! Sometimes I notice him making a subtle yet seductive smirk at people when he wants to persuade them into doing something, lol! His chart ruler would be Taurus Venus in the 7th. Actually, before I even decided Hanbin's rising I was more convinced his Taurus Venus had to be his chart ruler, especially since his voice is so smooth and pleasant! But now I see just how well it works out in the rest of the chart. He's touchy, affectionate, and somehow always brings comfort to people through his words or actions. With his Cancer MC, he takes on the parental role in the group by managing and protecting his group members like they're his family. His moon also lands in the 5th, which highlights his love for creativity and self expression which we see through things like performing and such. Also feel like moon 5th houses play the managers/overseers in groups because they find fulfillment in it. And then Virgo rising. I'm my worst enemy because I somehow Always mix up Virgo and Libra risings. I see him as a Virgo for all the same facial features, and in addition his eyes that always seem to be watching and analyzing the room. He's very aware of the people and atmosphere that surrounds him. His chart ruler would be Gemini mercury in the 10th house. I also know of a Virgo rising with Gemini mercury in the 10th and they have the exact same raspy and alluring voice Hanbin does. With his sun and mercury in his 10th, his personality and sociability is his selling point as an idol. He still reminds me so much of someone with a prominent 7th house, which adds up as his Pisces moon would fall into it. He cares a lot for the people around him and finds comfort in others. His Sagittarius Mars in the 4th house makes for a gentle but powerful mars energy nonetheless. He's driven to take care of his home and the people he cares most about. Very protective like a Mars 4th houser!

Zhanghao: Leo rising. But hear me out! I know I've heard many agree upon this rising sign, especially when we look at the fact that Hao has garnered popularity way before he even became an idol, as people were drawn in by his Flashy Leo Ways. He's extremely expressive, bright, and naturally shines under the attention of others. However, I think his Leo Sun chart ruler falls in his 12th house, along with his Cancer Mars and Mercury. He's quite introverted, known for being relatively quiet in comparison to the other members. He is creative, whimsical and has this serious 12th house charm I think is so obvious! People with Sun in the 12th house look like fairies to me. Pointy or jutted ears, watery eyes, soft skin complexion, etc. all of which I see in Hao. I also think his Mercury and Mars in the 12th make sense, since the way he speaks or goes about things can be unpredictable, as he is the type of person to go with his feelings and intuition. Also, I believe his Leo Venus would fall in the 1st house, again highlighting the fact that he attracts people with just his visuals alone!

Matthew: Sagittarius rising. HIs smile, his laugh, his energy that can be so big it fills a room. In Matthew's case though, I think his Pluto would fall within his 1st house. He can have quite the resting face and come off a bit unapproachable. I know he's said before that he even removed a piercing because he didn't want to appear intimidating. I think he's aware of the issues his image can cause and because of this, tries to control the way he's perceived (on brand for Pluto themes.) With that rising, his chart ruler would be Cancer Jupiter in the 7th or 8th. If it fell in the 7th, his Capricorn Moon would move to his 1st (I cannot imagine that.) If his Cancer Jupiter fell in the 8th well. I'm not sure How much I can speak on it especially since 8th house energy isn't always visible. I'm not so confident with this one. Other rising sign possibilities: Scorpio, with Cancer mars in the 8th. Or Libra rising with Cancer venus in the 9th and Gemini Saturn, Sun and Mercury in the 8th. The reason I'm so stuck on this 8th house influence is because I think he has pretty heavy Scorpio/Pluto/8th house energy in his chart and I just haven't figured out where this manifests. For someone with a sun mercury conjunction at 3 degrees in the ruling sign of Gemini, I think he's tends to be a little more reserved than I'd imagine someone with these planets be. It could be the 8th house that keeps him a little more reserved about what he chooses to say and share about himself. Also I do know that 8th/Scorpio people are the ones who like to share miscellaneous information about themselves but never the momentous or critical parts.

Taerae: Cancer rising... Contrary to the popular belief that he's a sag rising (I'm exaggerating) I actually find that his chart makes more sense to me as a Cancer rising. First of all he'd have a first house stellium housing his Sun [in conjunction with his] Jupiter, Mercury and Mars. One of the processes I go through when rectifying charts is deciding what their luminary of sect is (sun or moon). Because Taerae with a Sagittarius rising would make him a day chart with Mars out of sect, I assumed that's why it was so obvious to see his Leo Mars. However I now figure it's because it would land in his first house that expressing his Leo Mars is not something he's afraid of. Taerae puts on a confident front, he has this big, expressive energy that his Sun and Jupiter naturally allow him to show. He's known for his huge smile and positive aura, all traits that Jupiter in the first manifests as, and is very well spoken and doesn't have a hard time speaking what he feels, even with a Cancer Mercury. Another reason this makes sense to me is his chart ruler! Virgo moon in the third house! Whenever he'd talk about being a T (for MBTI) I kept wondering how that could manifest in his chart as a Sagittarius rising with a Cancer jupiter, but it makes more sense for him to be a T with his Virgo Moon ruler in the third. A mercurial sign in a mercurial house. He doesn't feel things... he analyzes them, Lol. But it is in conjunction with his Venus (benefic of sect). Which helps dial down a little bit of that awkwardness with his moon as he also has a natural charm that helps him get along with others and be so social and attractive. His Midheaven would be in Pisces, ruled by his Cancer Jupiter in the first. His identity is connected to his career as an idol and he presents himself as an aloof, creative person who can generally be more sensitive online as Pisces pick up on what others say and feel and tend to soak it all up.

Ricky: I've gone through the 5 stages of grief every time I've thought I figured out his rising sign but end up changing it for something "better". Initially I settled with the idea of Ricky being a Capricorn rising. Structured face, dresses formally, never shows his smile to people he's just met, hard to get to open up. He grew up in business which also makes sense with a Cancer Saturn ruler. Home/family life could've been blurred between his family's business life. Then I started to think about how much he reminded me of a Taurus. Which should be obvious, as he has his Sun and Mercury in the sign. But this energy was so intense. It was akin to my sibling's Taurus Sun and Mercury in the 2nd house energy and once the thought came to me it never left. He sounds like a Taurus Mercury in the 2nd. He's got this deep, slow, and steady voice. (but can also lose it in a second if prompted- with his Mercury squaring Uranus at 1 degree, haha). He's known by the members as the one who gets ready in the morning the slowest and also said himself that he moves at 0.5x speed. He is big on comfort and luxury. And is honest to a fault. If his Sun and Mercury landed in his second, then he would end up being either a Pisces rising or Aries rising. And the reason I lean towards Aries rising... uhhmmmm... is because he looks good in red hair *runs away really really fast*

Gyuvin: Cancer rising or Gemini rising. I can't decide... *head in hands*. It's less about the features of these rising signs that made me decide on them, but more on the houses his planets fall into. The most important factor to this is his Pisces Moon. In the First Degree. To me, I see his Moon falling into the 9th house. Other people I know with Moon in the 9th house have either grown up around a culture or in a lifestyle different from the norm, or grew up feeling drawn to wanting to know other cultures, countries, and languages. Gyuvin's really good at picking up languages and always has this way of getting along with people no matter who they are or where they're from. His Virgo stellium and Leo mercury would also fall into the 3rd house. Which is Sooo prominent in my eyes. He's playful, youthful, makes quick quips and jokes, a prankster at heart and is always jumping around and needing to move. He's got so much mercurial energy I cannot even imagine how hard and fast his mind works. (Also this has nothing to do with guessing his rising sign but it's so obvious that his moon opposes his mercury because he's always battling whether he wants to be funny and be proactive for jokes (Leo mercury) or be nice to them and treat them gently (Pisces moon). The internal struggle is endearing to watch...) I can't really decide whether I think it's his moon that I see more or his mercury though. So I'm settling for Not Knowing as of now...

Gunwook: My initial thought when I saw him was "Holy mother of Capricorn," and then, "Oh, I see some fire energy too." I think that with a chart like Gunwook's, the house that his planets fall into are very important to figuring out his rising sign. And I think his Capricorn stellium has fire influence! Which plays out in two ways for me: Leo rising with Capricorn Sun chart ruler in the 5th house along with 5th house stellium and Sagittarius Mars in the 4th. With 5th house influence, he is sociable, childish (in a good Leo Way), cares for his friends, loves to be on stage and preform, and doesn't mind being the center of attention. Or Taurus rising with Capricorn venus in the 9th and 9th house stellium with Sagittarius mars in the 8th. With 9th house stellium I would see this manifesting as his Very Tall Height and Hand Length, his love for learning, discovering the world, and being so adorably philosophical for a 19 year old haha. Both house stelliums makes sense to me so at the end of the day I guess it's just deciding whether or not he seems Sun or Venus ruled!

Yujin: Aries rising. His Aquarius Mars chart ruler is so obvious to me!! He's chill until he isn't, always doing something random and unpredictable, and has those iconic Aquarian Boba eyes that are so round, dark and shiny! Aquarian ruled people I notice also have slim faces and a sharp prominent chin. I also want to highlight his Pisces sun and mercury because those landing in the 12th house also really check out for him. He's very aloof, and depending on the day can either be the chattiest one in a room (maybe not with jebes though cause he's got serious competition lol) or the quietest one there. It can be hard for him to express himself through words, and people can tend to misunderstand him or take what he says the wrong way. He's also always sleepy or looks like it... hehe... very Piscean 12th house of him.
