The Twelve Rising Signs
Rising Sign Meanings
Your rising sign, also called the ascendant, is the sign that was on the eastern horizon when you were born. It describes the first layer of contact: how you arrive, how other people meet you, and the style you bring to a new room. It depends on an accurate birth time and place. Each guide is a mirror for self-recognition, not a forecast.
