What is my rising sign, and what does it mean? – It represents your deeper, inner self
According to Susan Taylor, our head astrologer, we tend to be more like our ascendant sign rather than our sun sign after the age of 30. Indeed, this probably explains why many of you don’t recognize yourselves in the description of your sign.
The rising sign is your "inner self", what you are intrinsically in the first astrological house. It’s located opposite the descendant, in house 7, which represents "me + the other", and therefore influences your relationships and love stories.
The description of a native's personality will be more complete if we look at the position of the Sun in their chart AND the position of their ascendant. We can have signs that are quite different, but which are complementary! If you do not recognize yourself in the description of your sun sign, it is possible that your rising sign has taken the upper hand on your personality, unless it is your Moon sign that predominates, this is particularly the case for many women.
💡 FAQ - Why is my rising sign most important? 💡The ascendant sign is considered important in astrology because it influences how you present yourself to the outside world and how you are perceived by others. Here are a few reasons why it is often considered significant: - Influence on appearance and behavior: Your rising sign is determined by the precise time and place of your birth. It can influence your physical appearance, style of dress, and behavior, giving others a first impression of your personality.
- Impact on the way you express yourself: It can play a role in the way you communicate, your energy, and your style. It can influence your general approach to life and the way you interact with others.
- Relationship with your Sun sign: Your ascendant can modify or complement the characteristics of your Sun sign (your main zodiac sign based on your date of birth). It can add nuances or additional traits to your personality.
- Revealing your life path and destiny: Some astrologers consider the ascendant sign to represent your life path and destiny. It can reveal the challenges, opportunities, and important themes you're likely to encounter in the course of your life.
- The ascendant of an astrological sign reveals strong characteristics of your personality, and also gives you clues to learn how to externalize your emotions. It's worth noting that it's more important after the age of 30. In fact, with maturity and advancing age, certain character traits become more nuanced and others more pronounced!
- If you feel that your ascendant is taking over, it's because it has always had a strong influence on your personality. You can see the importance of the ascendant at any time in your life. Some even believe that our rising sign accompanies each of us little by little, until it becomes our sun sign in our next life.

What house is my rising sign in?
Your rising sign is the sign that was on the horizon at the moment of your birth, and it represents the way you present yourself to the world and your first impression on others. The house of your rising sign is the house that starts at the degree of your rising sign.
For example, if your rising sign is in Aries, and it is at 10 degrees, the house that starts at 10 degrees Aries is your first house. Your second house will start at the degree that follows, which would be 11 degrees, and so on. Knowing the house of your rising sign can give you insight into the areas of life where you are most likely to focus your energy and attention, as well as the themes and qualities that are important to your personal identity and self-expression.
💡 Common misconceptions about rising signs: 💡To calculate mine, I only need my date and time of birth - FALSEThe sun doesn't rise at the same time in New York as in Sydney. The local time varies with the longitude of your place of birth, established in relation to the Greenwich meridian, which represents point 0. Latitude, too, allows you to locate a point on the earth from imaginary horizontal lines running from the Equator to the North and South. Hence, the importance of specifying your location to calculate your ascendant.
It doesn't matter if my birth time is approximate - FALSEIt's important to know the exact time of your birth to accurately define your ascendant. The zodiac is divided into 360°. An error of three or four minutes can result in a deviation of one degree and falsify the calculation. That's why twins born just a few minutes apart don't necessarily have the same ascendant. And don't forget to subtract one or two hours (summer/winter time) to get the calculation right. |
