Rising Sign (Ascendant)

The Rising Sign, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was on the horizon at the exact time of your birth. It influences the way you present yourself to the world, your initial reactions, and the first impression you give others. While your Sun sign reflects your core personality and inner self, the Rising sign shapes your outward behavior and appearance. It acts as a mask or gateway through which your inner self is expressed. Understanding your Rising sign offers insight into your overall demeanor and how you navigate new environments or relationships.
