Sun, Moon and Rising Signs Explained
You're more than your sun sign. In astrology, the 'big three' — sun, moon and rising — together paint a far richer picture of who you are.
Your sun sign: identity
The sun is your core self — your ego, willpower and the essence of how you shine. It's the sign most people know.
Your moon sign: emotions
The moon rules your inner world — feelings, instincts and what makes you feel safe. It's often more private than your sun.
Your rising sign: the mask
The rising sign (ascendant) is the impression you make and how you meet the world — your 'first impression' energy.
Find your big three
Your sun comes from your birth date; your rising depends on your birth time. Start by estimating your rising sign.
