It ranks right up there with the Sun and the Moon. But unlike the Sun and the Moon, the Rising Sign is not a planet. It's a demarcation line. It marks the fixed point on the eastern horizon where night becomes day so that whatever zodiac sign was "rising" here at the time of your birth becomes your Rising Sign. Your Sun Sign describes who you are. It's everything that you know about yourself to be true. Some of these characteristics you're proud of. And others? Maybe not so much. Nevertheless they're the personality traits that you identify with the most. Your Moon Sign describes your emotional life. It's how you really feel about things deep down inside. The planet of habits, memories, and dreams, the Moon remembers you even when you've forgotten yourself. The Moon is also where you turn to when you feel unsafe. Your Rising Sign is the face of your astrological chart. It's not a mask, a persona, or a role that you play. It's your face-and it's every bit as spontaneous, expressive, and reactive as your physical face is. Think about your face for a moment. Your face makes you recognizable as you. No two faces are exactly alike-even with identical twins. Each person's face is so individual and distinct that facial recognition is now the standard for unlocking your smartphone and authenticating payments. But who sees your face more during the course of a day-you or other people? It's other people. Now that might be hard to believe in an era of selfies and Zoom calls, but it's still other people who meet your gaze, sheepishly avoid eye contact, or don't even look up as you walk past because they don't know you from Adam. Like your face, your Rising Sign is continually registering the faces of others and responds accordingly. It decides what to reveal and what to conceal, independently of the rest of your horoscope. We all have a pretty good idea of what our face looks like and what we hope to convey by it, but it's others' reactions to our expressions that influence our interactions. How many times has your thoughtful frown been misinterpreted as sullen and off-putting or your smile regarded as inviting when you're actually just being polite? Your Rising Sign is on show for everyone to see and it knows it. It's the first glimpse others get of you, and that includes your voice and demeanor. Everyone wants to make a good impression but oftentimes we can be in the dark about the signals we send or the vibes we put across. All of this is bound up in the zodiac sign people meet first, and not the one you truly are. Astrology Is a Calendar , There are two ways of telling time-a calendar and a clock. The calendar tells you what day it is while the clock tells you the hour, and that's precisely what the Sun Sign and the Rising Sign do. The Sun Sign will always tell you the time of year that someone was born while the Rising Sign will tell you the time of day. Here's how it works. In Astrology we work with a 360-degree circle that is divided into twelve signs just like our calendar is divided into twelve months. This circle is called a horoscope. The Earth orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The Earth's orbit around the Sun gives us the seasons. Now in Astrology, everything is seen from the Earth's point of view so it's not the earth that orbits the Sun, but rather the Sun that orbits us. As the Sun moves through the signs in a year-the Sun is in Aries in April, Taurus...
