GENERAL INFORMATION - Your Rising Sign (Ascedant)
Your Rising sign is the sign of the zodiac that was just coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment
that you were born. If you were born at sunrise, your Rising sign would be the same as your sun sign.
That's because the Sun sign tells you what part of the zodiac the Sun was in at that time. Since that was
the part of the zodiac rising over the horizon at sunrise, it is also your Rising sign. If you were born a few
hours earlier, or a few hours later a different part of the zodiac would be rising or ascending, over the
eastern horizon. Another name for your Rising sign is your "Ascendant".
Your Rising sign is important for two reasons. First like your Sun sign, it serves to establish a basic
pattern in your life. Where the Sun establishes your character, or who you really are, your Rising sign
determines your personality, or what you show the world as you deal with it.
Second, it establishes the position of your houses in the zodiac. That's because your Rising sign marks
the beginning of your first house. Here are descriptions of the personalities that go with each rising sign:
Aries : Outspoken Taurus : Timid
Gemini : Talkative Cancer : Sympathetic
Leo : Dignified Virgo : Shy
Libra : Charming Scorpio : Intense
Sagittarius : Expansive Capricorn : Serious
Aquarius : Considerate Pisces : Idealistic
