Rising Signs (Ascendant)

Your rising sign, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was climbing over the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born. It describes the mask you wear, the first impression you give, and the instinctive way you approach anything new — a different layer from your Sun sign.

Because it changes roughly every two hours, your rising sign needs an accurate birth time. Read any of the twelve below, then calculate your Ascendant to find yours and see the planet that rules your chart.
