Did you know that your Horoscope Sun Signs are just one facet of your natal chart? Natal charts are a map of the planets’ placements at the exact hour and even place of your birth.
Let’s break down your “big three” -- the sun, moon, and rising signs and what they mean for you.
|
Your Sun Sign Determined by the position of the Sun in a particular constellation (eg., Pisces, Taurus, etc) at the time of birth. As the Earth moves around the Sun, each of the constellations will be basically ‘behind’ the sun every 30.43 days. Your sun sign represents your ego, identity, and your ‘role’ in life. |
Your Moon Sign This represents your inner world, your emotions, and your feelings. This is the “you” when no one else is around, or when you’re deeply comfortable. |
Your Rising Sign Aka your ascendant sign. It gets its name from the sign that was “ascending” or “rising” on the eastern horizon at the time/hour/place of your birth. It represents the energy people pick up from you—how you carry yourself and connect with people. |
