What is a rising sign?
Your rising sign, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the exact time and place you were born. Because the sky appears to turn once a day, the rising sign changes about every two hours, which is why you need your birth time and birth city to find it.
While your Sun sign reflects your core identity and your Moon sign your inner emotional world, the Rising sign describes your outward manner: the first impression you make and the lens through which you approach new situations. It also sets the first house of your chart, so it shapes how every other planet is placed.
What is a moon sign?
The Moon moves through a zodiac sign roughly every two and a half days, so your Moon sign depends on your birth date and, if you were born near a sign change, your birth time. It describes your emotional needs, habits and what helps you feel secure. Learn more in each sign guide such as Cancer or Pisces.
What if I do not know my birth time?
Tick the unknown birth time option to get your Sun sign, Moon sign and planets without the Rising sign. Your birth certificate often lists the time, or a parent may remember it. You can also read the zodiac signs and dates chart to confirm your Sun sign, or see the full birth chart calculator.
