Justin Bieber
Johnny Nunez//Getty ImagesJB has got that resident Scorpio Rising stare game on lock. His constant career/personal transformation is pretty on brand for this constantly evolving placement, too. Scorpio Risings are also very into seeking longterm commitments, romantic or otherwise, so he and Hailey's union has him all set.
2Frank Ocean
Mike Coppola/MG19//Getty ImagesFrank's double Scorpio Sun and Rising are a good explainer for why he's not exactly the most talkative online. But his lyrics? Proof that he's tapped into his emotional flow, like a true water sign. Ahem: "This love will keep us blinded by the eyes, silence in the ears, darkness of the mind." A Scorpio-bred production!
3Taylor Swift
Dimitrios Kambouris//Getty ImagesTwo words: ERAS. TOUR. As in a whole era dedicated to the fact that she's run through starkly different eras. It's just too on point for her Scorpio Rising. Can I also just jump into Tay-lore (lol) and note that her whole revenge arc during the Reputation album period was essentially a Scorpio Rising's definition of self-care? Exposing your enemies and illuminating their misconduct...all right on par for this sign.

4Lana Del Rey
Monica Schipper//Getty ImagesAs a Cancer Sun with a Scorpio Rising, the fact that Lana's music stirs up people's deep emo side is no real surprise. She knows how to force folks to FEEL. Lana's astro placements were actually a pretty big subject of debate online until she made a huge Twitter reveal back in 2019 to settle the discourse. To all of those who correctly guessed she possessed a Scorpio Rising, we salute you. (Although I can't say it wasn't obvious.)
5Nicole Kidman
Frazer Harrison//Getty ImagesThis movie star/AMC mascot has portrayed every type of scorned wife imaginable. That, my friends, is Scorpio-core. She knows how to to emanate coy and all-knowing vibes in basically every interview. (See here.) Hence why her AMC ad does feel a tinge more powerful than it was likely intended to be.
6Jaden Smith
Marc Piasecki//Getty ImagesThe tweets. Just look through the ominous tweets and let the math keep math-ing. Slightly unrelated but the "Never Say Never" lyric, "I was born from two stars so the Moon's where I land?" King of acknowledging nepotism. No notes.

7Tom Cruise
Max Mumby/Indigo//Getty ImagesNo matter where your feelings lie on Mr. Cruise, (and yes, in true Scorpio Rising fashion, there's a noticeably divided public stance concerning him), he is a box office legend. This Scorpio Ascendant has *such* a commanding aura, and that translates well in life as a leading man. Ya picked a good career path, Tom.
8Prince George
Chris Jackson//Getty ImagesLook, he's out here living his life as a king-to-be, but if we had to guess? That Scorpio Rising has set him up to handle demanding, emotionally-charged environments with grace. If The Crown's any indication, that seems to be how royal life rolls.
9Jim Carrey
Jon Kopaloff//Getty ImagesAmongst the countless public appearances he's made as a Famous Person™, Jim's most Scorpio Rising moment has got to be this nihilistic Fashion Week interview. This placement is big on the whole "question everything" thing.

10Grimes
Frazer Harrison//Getty ImagesNow, this artist makes headlines for many reasons (the relationship with a certain now former Twitter CEO was def one), but the true Scorpio rising clue-in is her music. Please watch the "Kill v. Maim" video for further reference.
11Jennifer Coolidge
Steve Granitz//Getty ImagesAs if this lineup couldn't get more iconic! This woman is nothing less than a gift to society, and her resident squint deserves a spot in the Scorpio Stare Hall of Fame (no a thing yet, but it should be).
12Liam Payne
Samir Hussein//Getty ImagesIs it a little interesting that the member of 1D with a prominent placement in mysterious Scorpio was the first to do a tell-all interview? Yes! But boy, do Scorpio Risings respect "keeping it real."

13Lily-Rose Depp
Taylor Hill//Getty ImagesAnd once more let us celebrate the intimidating intensity of a stare down with a Scorpio Rising! Does it feel like she can see your soul through the screen? 'Cause that would stand to reason.
14Halsey
Kevin Mazur//Getty ImagesFor your notes: She would like to apologize in advance for her astrological setup, which is a chart that features not one, not two, but three major Scorpio placements.
15Rachel McAdams
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin//Getty ImagesSomething to be said about Rachel and her roles: This woman is DYNAMIC. She played Regina George in Mean Girls and Allie from The Notebook in the same calendar year. That's Scorpio RANGE.
