The Rising Sign in the Birth Chart: Your Soul’s Horizon

The Rising Sign (also called the Ascendant) is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time of your birth. While the Sun represents your core identity and the Moon your emotions, the Rising is the mask you show to the world, the doorway of your soul, and the lens through which you approach life.

It governs first impressions, physical appearance, and the way your inner world is projected outward. Spiritually, the Rising sign represents the soul’s horizon—the starting point of your journey in this lifetime.
