What is the Rising Sign in relation to Astrology?

The Rising Sign is also known as the Ascendant. A 1/12th part of

the sky, that was ascending on the Eastern Horizon, at the precise

moment of a person�s birth, is known as the Rising Sign of that

person. This sign is situated in the First House of a person�s

horoscope or birth chart.

Your Rising Sign determines what others think of you and also

how you come across to people. Your Sun Sign and your Rising Sign

can be very different, and thus, what you are when you�re alone and

what you are in front of others, can be something entirely

different.

Reading your daily horoscope for your Rising Sign, in addition

to your Sun Sign and Moon Sign, can give you, a much clearer and

more accurate astrological profile.

The Ascendant is what you are, on the outside.

the rising sign wich is known as the assendent and is the first

house cusp is where the spirt or sun comes into being and is born

onto the earth plane and thus it shows the life path as it grows

into the sun wich is the spirt on whatever sign it is say for eg it

is a Pisces it is ending a stage of its journey if its an Aries it

is on a new level . and the assendent is the life path to learn

those lessions and the moon is the ego the "me" wich has been built

up sinse the begining of time
