Your rising sign, also known as your ascendant sign, is the sign of the zodiac that was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. It is one of the components of your birth chart, along with your moon sign and star sign. While your sun sign describes your ego, thinking, and personality, your rising sign stands for your reaction to your environment and fellow human beings. It says something about how you affect your environment on the one hand and how you are perceived and seen by other people on the other. Your rising sign symbolizes your abilities and potentials and how you react to the outside world and deal with certain situations based on these qualities.

To calculate your rising sign, you need to know your exact birth time. You can use an online calculator, such as the ones provided by Astrosofa, Cafe Astrology, and Astrology Library. Once you have determined your rising sign, you can learn more about what it means and how it influences your personality and approach to life. Knowing your rising sign can help you better understand who you are and how you approach life, as well as your compatibility with other signs of the zodiac.
