Okay, do you remember how I discovered my moon sign and talked about it last month? If not, go back and check out this great blog where I go in-depth on moon signs! Don’t have time for that? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We also created a video for you busy bees out there who don’t have the time or the patience to read it. Watch it now!
There is a whole world of astrology that most of us have no idea about. When I first started discovering what all of these different signs meant, I will honestly admit that I was lost. I was in a daze and basically spiraled into all of the distinct topics. So today, I will try my best to simplify it for you all about what it means to discover your rising sign and what they mean.
So what is an ascendant-rising sign? The Ascendant is the astrological sign on the eastern horizon of the sun sign, the moment the person was born. According to astrological theories, the rising sign shows an individual’s natural reaction to new situations and people. What I now know is that the moon sign is said to indicate the inner you, while the rising sign is said to indicate the outer you and how others perceive you. The rising sign is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Then, once you get to know someone on a deeper level, your true inner self (your moon sign) shines.
How do you find your rising sign? To calculate your rising sign(ASC), you will need to input your birth date, birth city, and exact birth time. Now this will be different from your moon sign because you’ll actually have to put in the exact time of your birth, as the signs can differ from minute to minute.
This is the website I used to look up my rising sign.
Once you find your rising sign, there are many astrological websites that’ll explain what your sign means with a detailed analysis. Honestly, you can get lost if you keep on browsing, but I’ve got you covered! I read about the rising signs for you and picked out flattering pendants to match your sign, just keep reading below!
