Discover Your Ascendant / Rising Sign
Your rising sign (ascendant) represents the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. While many people know their sun sign, your rising sign reveals how others perceive you and your approach to life.
What is a Rising Sign?
Your rising sign (or ascendant) changes approximately every two hours, which is why knowing your exact birth time is crucial for an accurate calculation. While your sun sign represents your core identity, your rising sign influences your outward personality and first impressions.
