Is the Sun or the Moon your birthday?
We’ll get into specifics shortly, but first, let’s clarify how your sun, moon, and rising signs are determined.
- Your sun sign is the zodiac sign you are most likely already familiar with. It is based on your birth date and affects the fundamental facets of your personality. Based on the location of the constellations as they appeared to ancient astrologers, sun signs are determined by the sign (also known as constellation) the sun is travelling through on your birthday.
- Moon sign: The position of the moon at the precise moment of your birthspecifically, whatever of the 12 zodiac signs it was inis referred to as your moon sign. Your deep inner self, including your emotions and how you act and feel when no one else is around, is influenced by your moon sign.
- Rising sign: The sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment (date, time, hour, minute) of your birth is known as your ascendant, also known as your rising sign. The aspect of yourself that you exhibit to the outside worldyour outward persona or maskis indicated by your rising sign.
Your sun, moon, and rising signs are more complicated than their definitions, of course. Here’s a closer look at each one and some professional advice on how to interpret these three significant indications simultaneously.
Which three big signs do I have?
The first thing that comes to mind when most people think about astrology is probably their sun sign. After all, you typically seek up that sign while reading your horoscope or researching the compatibility of your stars with your crush. But if you’re prepared to delve more deeply into your own astrology, it’s critical to comprehend the distinctions between your sun, moon, and rising signs.
Your “big three signs” in astrology are your sun, moon, and rising sign.
Consider them to be your most important astrological statistics. Each of these three signs controls over a different aspect of your personality and entire self in your birth chart, making them extremely significant. You might think of your rising sign as a representation of your outer self while the sun and moon stand for the essence of who you are.
Even if you don’t believe in astrology, it won’t be long before someone asks you for your big three, therefore it’s high time you mastered yours. In order to explore your birth chart and make the most of astrology, let’s go through the fundamental definitions and distinctions of sun, moon, and rising signs. Discover more about this significant astrological trio by reading on.
What is the rise in you?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It offers insight into your abilities, capabilities, and potential coping mechanisms for navigating life. It speaks to the image you present to the worldsome could even call the mask you wear. If you’ve ever thought that people don’t immediately see you as your sun sign, that’s probably because they’re noticing your rising.
How do moon signs work?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign that the moon was in when you were born. In contrast to your outwardly facing sun sign, it is the soul of your identity and a significant portion of your emotional side, which you may choose to keep hidden from others.
What are all the signs of my zodiac?
Your Sun sign is typically what is meant when someone inquires about your zodiac sign. Also, everyone is aware of their sun sign. Everyone has at least been a little intrigued about what the stars could say about them in the age of the Internet, where it’s simple to look it up. Others may look at their Sun sign and feel it makes absolutely no sense, while some people completely identify with it.
There are several explanations for that, including your Ascendant and Moon sign, which I’ll discuss later. Even if you don’t completely identify with the characteristics of that zodiac sign, from the perspective of the sky, you will see patterns that correlate due to planetary movements at any given time. This is why I always advise people to read for the Sun sign in daily, monthly, and yearly horoscopes.
Your date of birth determines your Sun sign. You may need to consult your own natal chart if you were born on a day when the Sun changed signs because you might actually be in one sign rather than the other. Because you cannot have two Sun signs, cusps do not exist (despite attempts by pop culture publications to do so; stop making these efforts, Karen!).

Who is a rising Scorpio?
Strong, turbulent emotions are generally kept hidden by the Scorpio rising person. If this describes you, people find you enigmatic and secretive; to them, you appear to purposefully turn on the charm. On a birth chart, the ascendant of someone with this zodiac sign is present.
