What is a Rising Sign?
Also called the Ascendant, your Rising sign is determined by the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. While your Sun sign represents your core self, your Rising sign is like the mask you wear in public.
Rising vs. Sun Sign
- Sun Sign: Your core identity and ego - who you are at your essence
- Rising Sign: Your outer personality and how you appear to others
- Moon Sign: Your emotional nature and inner world
Why You Need Birth Time
The Rising sign changes approximately every 2 hours, so you need your exact birth time to calculate it accurately. If you don't know your birth time, check your birth certificate or ask family members.

Your Rising sign affects:
- First impressions you make on others
- Your physical appearance and style
