Then we get to the final piece of the big three puzzle drum roll, please! Because it determines where your natal chart begins, your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is incredibly essential in your birth chart. It’ll be the line at the 9 a.m. position of the circle if you’re searching for it on your chart. This Rising Sign is related to your First House, which is concerned with how others view you and how you connect with the outside world.
Knowing your time of birth (together with your place, date, and year) is essential for determining your Rising sign since it tells which zodiac sign the Sun was rising in on the eastern horizon. We say in esoteric astrology that the time you took your first breath was the moment you became you and your soul entered your body. Isn’t that interesting? My mind has been blown.
So, consider of your Rising sign as the mask you put on when you interact with the outside world. It typically reveals information about your own style, appearance, and even how you partner and interact with others. That’s why, if your Sun sign isn’t quite describing your personality as effectively as you’d want, it’s extremely probable that your Rising sign is taking center stage! Our Rising signs are highly strong, frequently revealing the patterns we are now experiencing.
That is why, in all horoscopes, I always advise you to read for both your Sun and Rising signs, as they will disclose the predictions and path you are on when read together.

What time did you come into the world as an Aries rising?
ARIES is the first sign of the zodiac (March 21 – April 19) People born under the sign of Aries are known for acting before they think, which may not always make for a good first impression.
Is the rising sign affected by the time of birth?
Let’s start with why your precise birth time is significant in astrology. According to Gold Ring Astrology, your own journey on Earth begins the instant you are born and take your first breath. The beginning of your spiritual journey begins the moment you enter the human world, with the blueprint of your life being sewn in that precise moment.
One reason is that the time of birth is significant. Your ascendant, or rising, sign the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of your birth is determined by the exact time of your birth (via Mind Body Green). The way you see the world and how others see you are both represented by your ascendant sign (via Allure).
What is Aries’ ascendant sign?
The rising sign of Aries can be a powerful go-getter, but it can also come across as domineering or confrontational. People with an Aries rising sign are the zodiac’s exceptional achievers. They are quick and headstrong, with a fierce and motivating “take charge” energy.
What factors go into determining rising signs?
Our ego energy is ruled by the Sun. How you respond to life, all of its joys and challenges, is determined by where the Sun is in the zodiac. Your personality is determined by the zodiac sign visible on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. This is what you unintentionally show the rest of the world. This is the public face of your company. Your sun sign determines your desires and requirements. Your rising sign determines how you conduct yourself in life.
The time of your birth determines your rising sign. Your rising sign is likely to be the same as your sun sign if you were born just before or after sunrise. Your rising sign will most likely be the exact opposite of your sun sign if you were born shortly before or just after sunset.

What Is My Rising Sign?
The zodiac constellation rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth is known as your rising sign, or ascendant sign. It’s a reflection of your social personality. It also represents your physical appearance and mannerisms. Consider it in terms of the energies you expend in the world.
The rise is all about how you portray yourself, whereas the sun represents your core self and the moon represents your inner self. It also influences how you interact with the outside world and how others perceive you.
According to Caf Astrology, “the ascendant (or rising sign) is frequently considered the mask one wears when meeting others.”
The degree to which the sun rose on the eastern horizon at the precise moment you were born determines your ascendant sign. This is why the rising sign is frequently referred to as the zodiac’s front door or entryway.
Your ascendant sign indicates your own inner awakening and the beginning of a new journey, much as the sun rising on the eastern horizon represents the dawn of a new path.
You’ll need to know your exact birth date, time, and location to figure out your rising sign. If you check your birth certificate, you should be able to obtain this information. After you’ve gathered your data, visit our natal chart / birth chart calculator. We’ll create a personalized and thorough birth chart for you, as well as provide guidance on how to read it.

Why are there two increasing indications on my body?
Every two hours, the ascendant switches zodiac signs. Because the sun rises and sets at different times throughout the year, someone born at 10 a.m. in April will have a quite different ascendant than someone born at 10 a.m. in November.
Fun fact: If you were born at sunrise (or within two hours of sunrise), your ascendant will be the same sign as your Sun sign (for example, Taurus risingor a “double Taurus”). Because the planets are in different houses, someone born at the same time as you but in a different time zone may have an altogether different birth chart. It’s the difference between Bradley Cooper in The Hangover II (which could be a raunchy Aries rising) and a somber drama like Silver Linings Playbook (a sensitive Cancer rising, perhaps).

In a day, how many rising indicators are there?
While a person’s sun sign is decided by their birthday, their rising sign is determined by their exact birth time. Because there are 24 hours in a day and 12 zodiac signs, a different rising (or ascendant) sign rules every two hours. So, depending on the time and place of birth, the Virgo in our example may have a rising Scorpio, Taurus, or any other rising sign in their horoscope. Finding out what their rising sign is might help you figure out what kind of Virgo you are. Something else that can shed light on the personality of a sign? The color of their might.
How do you figure out when you were born?
Now I’ll provide a few real-life case studies to demonstrate how the method of event-based birth time rectification works.
The birth time of this individual was not correctly recorded, and it was stated to me that it might have been anywhere between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. If we use the time of 02:00 a.m. to cast the birth chart, Pisces (Meena) is the ascendant rising sign. However, if we choose 01:00 a.m. as the birth time, Aquarius is the ascendant (Kumbha).
- Siblings: This local is the youngest of four siblings. If we look at the Aquarius lagan, we can see that Rahu in the third house causes one brother or sister to be the youngest or oldest. However, the 3rd house in Pisces sees the Sun, Venus, and Mercury receiving the aspect of Jupiter, indicating the birth of a younger brother. In the instance of Pisces lagna, he was born with the balance dasha of the Sun, which would have given him younger siblings.
- The native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. According to a study published in Shri K.N. Rao’s book “Planets and Instruction,” civil engineering education originates from the fifth, fourth, and tenth houses, with planes Mars (land), Mercury (measuring), and Saturn (building material) playing a role. Now, in this situation, civil engineering studies come from the Aquarius lagan only because the 5th lord Mercury enters the 4th house there, together with the 4th lord Venus, who receives the aspect of Saturn. Mars, another essential planet for civil engineering, is in aspect with the tenth house. Such civil engineering combinations are not obvious if we look at the Pisces lagan.
- He relocated to Canada in 1990 after leaving the United States. In his horoscope, it was Jupiter maha dasha in Vimshottari. When we look at the Aquarius lagna, we can see that Jupiter is in the 12th house of foreign land. Jupiter’s depositor is Saturn, who is located in the 7th house, which is the house of travel abroad. The elder brother of the local has also relocated to another country, which is also explained by the Aquarius horoscope, as the 11th lord is in the 12th house. Jupiter becomes the 12th lord in the Navamsha chart, confirming the Aquarius lagna’s settlement in a faraway nation.
In this example, if we apply the Pisces lagan, Jupiter in the 11th house does not indicate a settlement in another country during its dasha.
- Marriage Delay: The native married in 1981, when he was 32 years old, during his Rahu-Mercury dasha. There was a significant delay in marriage at the time. Now, this could be plausible from the Aquarius lagna, where Saturn rules the 7th house and the 7th lord Sun receives Saturn’s aspect, indicating a delay in marriage. The 7th lord Moon receives the aspect of Saturn from the 6th lord in Navamsha. It has been found that when Saturn rules the 7th house, 7th lord, and/or Venus in both Rashi and Navamsha charts, marriage is delayed.
In the Rashi chart, the 7th house receives the Jupiter aspect if we apply the Pisces lagan. The lagna in Navamsha shows Venus obtaining an aspect from Jupiter in the 9th house, indicating an early marriage combo. As a result, this point also shows that the native’s lagna must be Aquarius exclusively. Since his Saturn dasha began in 2005, the native’s wife has been suffering from ‘Vata’ ailments. It is simply explained by the Aquarius lagan and the presence of Saturn in the Rashi chart’s 7th house. As a result, I set the Aquarius ascendant for the native to 01:00 a.m. exclusively.
Now I’m looking at the horoscope of this native’s daughter, whose birth occurred at the intersection of two ascendants.
In the instance of this young lady, the ascendant was rising near the junction of Aries and Taurus.
- Marriage: This young lady’s father was concerned about her marriage. From June 2015 until June 2018, she was in the Venus-Venus Vimshottari dasha. I was given the Taurus lagan chart in my palm, and his father inquired about her daughter’s wedding plans. He had visited numerous astrologers over the years, and her daughter, now 34, was frustrated because she couldn’t find the proper spouse for herself. I advised this gentleman that her daughter’s horoscope could only be of Aries lagna since it indicates a delay in marriage. The placement of three benefic planets Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus in the Taurus lagna horoscope would have provided her with a timely marriage. In the Navamsha, Jupiter is in the 7th house, while Saturn, the lagna lord, is well-placed in the 11th house, indicating marriage at the appropriate age in the Taurus lagan chart.
However, if we look at the chart from the Aries ascendant, we can observe that Saturn is in the 7th house, and the 7th lord Venus is in combustion in the 8th house, indicating that her marriage will be delayed. Venus, the 7th lord, is in the ‘Paap-Kartari’ yoga, which explains the difficulties in achieving marital bliss. The Navamsha lagna shifts to Sagittarius, with the lagna and 7th lord in an unfavorable position.
- She received her higher education in Canada after emigrating from India in 1998. Only the Aries lagna can explain her migration to a strange place. The 4th Lord Moon enters the 12th House here. During her Mercury-Moon dasha in Vimshottari, she traveled to Canada. The placement of planets in the 12th house in Navamsha indicates her relocation to another country. If we look at the Taurus lagna, the 4th lord Sun, together with benefic planets in the 7th house, would not have provided her with a foreign settlement and family.
- Skin allergies and a tense relationship with her father: Due to a tense relationship with her father and difficulties at work, this young girl was suffering from skin allergies and despair. These things are also abundantly obvious from the Aries horoscope, where Mercury, the 6th lord, is in the 8th house, indicating skin ailments. The negative exchange between the 8th lord Mars and the 9th lord Jupiter indicates friction in the father-daughter connection. Her career was hampered by the dasha of ‘Maraka’ Venus, which was poorly placed in the 8th house. Because of its relationship with the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter, Venus enters Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas in the Taurus lagna.
As a result of the circumstances described above, I assigned this native an Aries ascendant.
