All About The Rising Sign
It all begins with an idea.
What is the rising sign?
Your rising sign or also known as the “ascendant” is the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. The rising is a persona which you will present to the world. The ascendant has high value because it’s influence is there at the awakening of the individual. The ascendant is like an energy you have that can influence peoples first impression of you, it can affect your mannerisms and how you socialize. The rising sign is only a part of your personality I like this quote “ The self you project to the world is most often a perfectly balanced blend of your rising and your sun sign”.
Have you ever met someone and the first impressions of them were off, maybe they weren’t that friendly and you didn’t really like them but once you got to know them your view of them completely changed, that is “the rising sign”. The ascendant is an important part of your personality and how you react to the world, how you take on new situations. As horoscopes are cast using the sun in the first house that’s why horoscopes are more accurate when you read your rising as it will in sync with your planetary transits, always read your rising sign as well as your sun and moon signs, unless your sun and rising are the same sign making you a double sign which emphasises the characteristics of the sign in question. The rising sign is more likely to exhibit physical features more so than the sun sign, also if there are planets near the ascendant this can influence the image as well.
To find out your rising you must know your time of your birth as the rising changes around every two hours, the rising starts the whole birth chart being the cusp of the first house. The zodiac sign the ascendant falls in also tells us what planet the chart ruler is which is also important. For example if the ascendant was in Aries, the chart ruler would be Mars because Mars is the planetary ruler of Aries. Therefore Mars would become an important planet in the chart holders life.
