Rising signs are one of the keys to unlocking the mysteries and magic of the birth chart.
If the sun sign in astrology represents our identity, who we are, and how our outward energy is expressed, the moon sign represents where your emotional body lives, how you give and receive nourishment and care, and what drives you in your life and pursuits.
The rising sign (also called The Ascendant) represents how you show up in the world, your appearance, and how you’re perceived.
By studying your rising sign and understanding how it interacts with your other key placements in your birth chart, you can better understand yourself and how to best feel empowered and embodied in your life and relationships.
