Let’s start with the basics: what is a rising sign?
Technically speaking, as Always Astrology tells is, one’s ascendant sign is “the Zodiac Sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born.” Your sun sign, which is the astrological sign you typically hear people referencing when talking about their personality and their horoscopes etc., is determined based on the position of the sun in the sky on the date of your birth. Your ascendant sign, otherwise called an Ascendent, is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth.
