Most of us know our zodiac signs (Libra, Cancer, Aquarius, and so on), but do you know your moon and rising (ascendant) signs?
Based on when and where you were born, these two signs provide a deeper insight into your personality. It considers the moon’s position as well as a constellation on the day and hour you were born. It’s fascinating how the planets and stars seem to know a lot about us…
Here’s what you’ll need to figure out your moon + rising sign:
- Your birthday (I hope it’s easy to remember!)
- Your due date (it’s time to call Mom!)
- What is the name of the city where you were born? (Mom will know)
- Astrolabe is the name of the website.
Astrolabe is my go-to source for learning about the moon and rising signs. It’s free, it’s clear and specific, and it gives you a lot of information about your horoscope! After you obtain your birth chart, pay close attention to the first three paragraphs. Your rising, sun, and moon signs make up your zodiac sign. I’ll get into the rest of the information you’ll get at a later time.
I’m taking a look at mine…
I’m an astrological mix-and-match platter…with some poignant common threads.
It’s worth noting that all three are cardinal signs. The main signs are the four cardinal signs (the last of which being Cancer). The instigators, the trailblazers, are always on the go, eager to take the lead and start new projects. When it comes to my individual cardinal signs, Aries is the spark, a fiery firebrand who inspires others by committing fully to a vision. Capricorn has a commanding, grounded demeanor, as well as a natural authority that comes from their mastery of the physical sphere. Libra initiates through fresh ideas and by being a balancing force among individuals, yet I’m extremely klutzy.
I’ve always been a born trailblazer…not as a rule breaker, but as a rule re-writer for my own life.
Now, let’s take a look at my rising, sun, and moon signs:
The Sun is in the sign of Aries at 04 degrees. You are a high-spirited and active person by nature. You are passionately self-reliant, insisting on being first in whatever you do, and relish taking risks. You’re the one who’ll go where angels are afraid to go. You’re great at starting new projects, but you’re lousy at seeing things through to the end. You’re a natural leader, but you’re also a hesitant follower. You are sometimes quick to anger, but you recover quickly, later regretting anything you said when you were agitated. One of your best qualities is that you are straightforward and honest, but be careful not to hurt other people’s feelings. Others may object to your need to be competitive at any costs, but as long as you maintain your typical Sunny good humor, this should not be a huge issue for you.
The rising sign is Libra at 26 degrees. Your charm, which is both appealing and popular, helps you get your way and keeps others from getting upset with you. “Peace and harmony at any costs,” you say. Any physical ugliness or hostile feelings between people are always attempted to be ameliorated or aesthetically hidden. You prefer to dress nicely and are flashy but not ostentatious. You have good taste in music, art, and literature in general. Be wary of the temptation to give in to the pressure to be pleasing at all times. You’re a bit of a social butterfly who may be vain and sluggish at times. However, you are cordial and kind for the most part, and your refined and aristocratic behavior serves as an example to others.
The Moon is in Capricorn at 13 degrees. In situations where spontaneous and effusive emotional reactions appear to be required, you are serious, shy, and quite uncomfortable. As a doer, you prefer to focus on practical, worthwhile tasks that yield measurable outcomes. You’ll need role models to look up to, admire, and mimic. Unless you obtain a significant and well-respected position in life, you are likely to feel like a failure. Don’t be such a jerk to yourself! Practical necessities always take precedence over emotional considerations for you. Keep in mind that you have a right to comfort, security, and affection as well. When you make an emotional commitment, you sign on for the long haul because your love is long-lasting.
Yes, I’m an Aries (sun sign) and I’m great at coming up with fresh ideas and initiating new initiatives. It’s a different story when it comes to seeing things through to the end. This year, however, will be different. I’m a finisher this year! And, most of the time, especially in the mornings, I feel quite lively!
“Peace and harmony at all costs,” Libra (rising sign) says. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes “Beware of the temptation to compromise yourself in your effort to be nice at all times,” says the author. YES, we’re working on it! I’m also pretty darn charming.
“You are serious and shy, and very uncomfortable in situations where spontaneous and exuberant emotional reactions seem called for.” Capricorn (moon sign): I do not fit into these traits at all: “You are serious and shy, and very uncomfortable in situations where spontaneous and exuberant emotional reactions seem called for.” I also don’t agree that this is a component of my personality: ” Practical necessities always take precedence over emotional considerations for you. I’m a highly emotional person who is particularly sensitive to the sentiments of others and myself. This sign seems to be the source of the greatest contention for me.

What is the best way to figure out my sun and moon signs?
Your Moon Sign is a reflection of your innermost feelings and ideas. It’s as if you have an internal monologue that expresses all of your emotional demands and sentiments. Check your Moon Sign horoscope every day to observe how it impacts your emotions.
What are the signs of the moon?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
Who is a rising Scorpio?
The Scorpio rising person has powerful, seething emotions that are typically hidden. Others find you intriguing and secretive if this describes you; you appear to purposefully turn on the charm for them. On the birth chart, someone born under this zodiac sign is at the ascendant.
In Virgo, what is the Moon?
You are likely to be naturally service-oriented, analytical, and practical if you were born with the Moon in Virgo. You have an exceptional ability to help others, owing to both your willingness to serve and your problem-solving skills. You must discover a balance between mind and body for your own unique satisfaction, understanding when to analyze information and when to simply relax. A route of moderation is likely to fit you best, and will put you on the road to long-term good health by performing the small things that make your daily life more natural and structured.
What is the meaning of the Moon in Scorpio?
Your Moon in Scorpio describes who you already are, while your Sun Sign describes attributes you are learning to develop and become.
You are likely to be sensitive and loyal if your Moon is in Scorpio, but you have strong emotional demands. Scorpio is a Water sign, meaning it is concerned with the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life. You’ll most likely come across as observant, forceful, and transformational.
Scorpio is also a Fixed sign, which means that when your emotions are aligned with something you want, whether it’s a friend/lover or an expected outcome, you’ll be consistent, tenacious, and hesitant to let go.
A sense of emotional well-being for you comes from having deep and honest relationships with people, which allow you to delve into the depths of life. You are likely to be a passionate person with a strong ability to connect on an emotional level, depending on other aspects in your horoscope. In your partnerships, you will seek intimacy and expect faithfulness in return.
