Your Ascendant or Rising Sign is the face you show the world, the first chapter of your story that people see before they know the real you. To understand your Rising Sign, you need to know your exact birth date, time, and location because the Rising Sign changes approximately every two hours.
Your Rising Sign, or Ascendant, is the first impression you make when you enter a room. It is your brand – what people see before you open your mouth. Your Sun Sign is your core self, the essence of who you are. Your Moon Sign is all about your emotional world, but your Ascendant is about how you put your face forward to the world as if it's the cover of your life's book.
A Sun Sign is relatively steady. It changes every 30 days, But an Ascendant is much more frequent. It changes every two hours. This makes it unique to your birth's specific time and place and adds another level to your birth chart.
Knowing your Rising Sign can give you a whole view of your personality. It helps explain why people might have one idea of you when you feel something totally different. It's like being able to step back and look at yourself to help connect the internal with the external. If you've ever felt misunderstood or wondered why people have a particular perception of you, your Ascendant could be the missing link you need.
