Your Sun Sign, Moon Sign and Ascendant Sign
Just What's Going On Here
There are three main components an astrologer considers in developing a quick thumbnail sketch of your personality. Astrologers call these three points in your horoscope the Sun sign, the Moon sign, and the Ascendant -- or "Rising sign." The fact that there are three of them goes a long way toward explaining why not everyone born under the same Zodiac sign is "just alike."

What does your Rising Sign mean in Astrology?
The Ascendant is also called the "Rising Sign" of a person's chart. Astrologers use the two terms interchangeably. It is literally the sign that was rising on the Eastern horizon of the sky at the time you were born in the place where you were born. This is why it is essential to have both a birthplace and a birth time in order to cast a completely valid Natal Chart.
All twelve signs of the Zodiac rotate across the sky in the course of a day. Therefore the sign that is ascending -- literally "rising" -- on the eastern horizon changes every two hours. And your Rising Sign ... or Ascendant Sign ... depends on the exact time you were born!

You are patient and durable in your approach to life. Everything about you says you're here for the long-haul. You have a stable temperament and a practical, conservative disposition.

Gemini Rising
Do you have a Gemini Ascendant?
You are an unusually intellectual person, someone whose mind is a primary asset in meeting and dealing with the world. Your ability to talk, think, learn, study, read, write, make judgments and draw conclusions - and then communicate yourself to others virtually constitutes your reason for being.

Cancer Rising
Do You Have a Cancer Ascendant
If you have Cancer Rising, you are an extremely sensitive person -- one whose moods and sense of security are very dependent on your being in familiar, comfortable surroundings. You have to feel at home before you can be yourself. Because of this, you can be very wary and suspicious of strange people, places and situations.

Leo Rising
Do You Have a Leo Ascendant?
If you have Leo Rising, you have a confident, showy, even ostentatious personality. There is definite style to your presentation. When you walk into a room, people turn to notice you've arrived ... and you really like that. You like to work with your appearance ... the way an actor works on a character ... or even works with his own character ... to create the right dramatic effect.

Virgo Rising
Do You Have a Virgo Ascendant?
If you have Virgo Rising, you approach life from the critical, analytical attitude of a perfectionist. You emphasize intellect over emotion and duty over leisure. Thus you appear reserved and cautious to others -- especially those who don't yet know you well -- because your focus on being objective, practical, and fixed on the job at hand doesn't lend itself to flashy, animated displays of personality -- or anything like charisma.

Libra Rising
Do You Have a Libra Ascendant?
Your automatic orientation toward the rest of the world, the personality you most readily show to others, places great importance on your social, interpersonal qualities of courtesy, diplomacy, charm and cooperation. Being popular – even sought after – as a friend, companion, and partner is extremely important to you. Your outward behavior and mannerisms virtually advertise that you are looking for relationships ... and the characteristic grace with which you send this message does work to draw other people to you.

Scorpio Rising
Do You Have a Scorpio Ascendant?
The personality you share most immediately with the rest of the world introduces you as someone proud, willful, intense, and more than a little enigmatic. There can be an air of reserve – even secrecy – about you that virtually no one ever penetrates, because you as the keeper of the gate almost never trust another person to see and experience the workings of your inner self and the terrain of your passionately felt emotional landscape.

Sagittarius Rising
Do You Have a Sagittarius Ascendant?
The personality you offer immediately to the rest of the world is one of the most delightful, expansive, and engaging energy combinations available. You are unfailingly upbeat, optimistic, generous, and ready to share what you know to help others improve themselves and their lives. In fact, offering your knowledge and ideas this way is one of your greatest personal talents. You are a natural teacher ... both in the way you talk, think, and present what you know, and in the fine example you set with your own behavior, values, and choices.

Capricorn Rising
Do You Have a Capricorn Ascendant?
You are patient, restrained, enduring, and methodical in your approach to life. Your outward image and casual behavior suggests you are a stern, somewhat judgmental soul, disciplined, solid, dignified and very concerned with your public reputation and status. Often this translates into some notable preoccupation with career or professional achievements - the things that give you standing and worth in the eyes of the world.

Aquarius Rising
Do You Have an Aquarius Ascendant?
Aquarius is a sign associated with sudden changes and developments -- including accidents, both marvelous breakthrough moments and windfalls ... and "the unhappy kind" of unexpected events. It is also concerned with your long-term goals, your hopes and dreams for the future, your friendships and group alliances, and your social and professional network.

Pisces Rising
Do You Have an Pisces Ascendant?
Pisces is a sign associated with imagination, fantasies, dreams and the landscape of the soul's inner world. This is a highly spiritual energy that can be deceptively quiet, reclusive and watchful, for the souls that own any part of this special blend are often highly evolved entities who see far more depth in what they observe than is at all apparent on the surface.
