Does "to be on the rise" have any other meaning besides "to start", "to begin" and "to be getting momentum"?


A different shade of meaning than 'gaining momentum' would be improving, advancing or gaining in some desirable trait. "My fortune is on the rise" -> my situation is improving. "His star was on the rise" -> he was becoming more famous.
I don't associate it with "starting" or "beginning", though.


I never really thought of it as a metaphor for beginning - rather, it is simply a statement that your fortunes (or those of the subject) are improving.
