Rising Sign Meaning & Ascendant Guide
Your Rising Sign, or Ascendant, represents the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It governs your first impressions, physical appearance, and outer personality.
The Significance of the Ascendant
While the Sun sign represents your core identity and the Moon sign governs your emotional self, the Rising Sign is the lens through which you view the world and the first impression you make on others. It is the outer shell of your personality and plays a vital role in determining the structure of your astrological houses.
