What is the rising sign?
The rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was climbing over the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It represents the first impression you make, your way of acting and the "mask" you present to the world.
Together with your Sun and Moon signs, the ascendant completes the essential trio of your astrological personality and colours how the rest of your chart is expressed.

Enter your date, time and place of birth. The time is essential, because the ascendant changes sign roughly every two hours.
