I still like reading them even though they vary wildly from astrologer to astrologer. I just want to clarify and maybe others don't know this - but should I be reading my rising sign, or my progressed rising sign - that's the sign that is currently taking up the most room in the first house, right?

i read my sun sign and my rising sign...never thought to use my progressed rising sign! hmmmm...

I do... when I read them. I tend not to anymore, since I watch my own transits, moon transits and void of course moons more closely. I'll read my sun sign and then my rising sign, then the one after my rising sign because my rising sign is in a late-ish degree and I can tell that the planets they're talking about actually apply to the next sign. I sort of mash all this up in my head and glean some sort of meaning out of it, though only one of fleeting interest. I still look at Jonathan Cainer every so often. But NOT Astrology Zone. Not after that December freakout that had everybody terrified and then NOTHING HAPPENED.

Maybe it's not polite to name names, but I calls it like I sees it. :) 

Well there are some I love to read who I won't reference in deference to Elsa but I know of who you reference Dear reader. Ha Ha.

Kash the progressed rising is resonating in my life and in my horoscopes. I think there is something to it.
