Growing up, you were undoubtedly asked what your zodiac sign was a few times. Perhaps you recognized yourself in the description, or perhaps it didn’t feel quite right. The reason for this is because your zodiac sign (also known as your sun sign) is simply a small part of your horoscope, whereas each of us has a full map of planets that influenced our birth. You may receive a much more realistic picture of your personality by learning about your full horoscope and all of its placements!
Finding out what your “big three placements” arethe sun, the moon, and the ascendantis the first step in getting to know your horoscope. These three planets each represent a different aspect of you, and when combined, they form a remarkably accurate portrait of your personality. Here’s a quick rundown of these opportunities.

What method do I use to keep track of all of my zodiac signs?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs in order. Each zodiac sign has a symbol that dates back to Middle Ages Greek manuscripts. Let’s look at the zodiac symbols, constellations, and qualities in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are recognized for their warm personalities and great self-esteem, although they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.
Is ascending and rising the same thing?
Astrology is an ancient language that communicates a unique cosmic signature known as your birth chart using celestial bodies, zodiac signs, and houses. The position of the sun, moon, planets, and stars at the time and place of your birth is depicted in your birth chart. Have you ever wondered why the full moon alters your mood? This is what gives your personality, relationships (your soulmate could be written in the stars), and life purpose structure.
The sun, moon, and rising are the three key planetary points in your birth chart that define your everyday personality. The majority of people are aware of their sun sign, but many are unaware of their moon and rising signs. This is why the subject has been raised.
In anime, who are the big three?
Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece are the three most popular and long-running anime series. One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach were known as the “Big Three” during Jump’s heyday in the mid-2000s.
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.
Do you have all of the signs in your horoscope?
So, you’re undoubtedly aware of your Sun sign, as well as your Moon and Rising signs. Even if you don’t have any planets in your birth chart, you have every single zodiac sign.
Please bear with me: Your birth chart, which includes all 12 zodiac signs, is essentially a picture of the universe at the time you were born. Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign in which the Sun was when you were born. Every other planet, from Mercury to Pluto, is the same. Look at the sign each planet is in when reading your birth chart to learn more about the area of your life that planet governs. If your Mercury sign, which regulates communication, is in freewheeling Sagittarius, you may still have a tendency to tell it like it is or even put your foot in your mouth, even if you have a cautious Scorpio Sun.
Aries
Aries is born with the ability to lead. After all, it is the zodiac’s first sign. This sign is noted for being brave, forthright, and competitive to an unhealthy degree. Aries, on the other hand, is a warm, caring, and trusting sign. Aries has a short fuse but never holds grudges.
Taurus
Taurus is a functional and affluent sign. This earth sign is intelligent and practical, but also enjoys the finer things in life. Taurus places a high importance on safety and security and is not hesitant to put in long hours. Another thing about Taurus is that it is a very obstinate zodiac sign.
Gemini
Gemini receives a lot of criticism, although it’s generally unjustified. This air sign is humorous, outgoing, fun, and adaptable, earning it the nickname “two-faced” (in reality, they’re just social butterflies who can match the enthusiasm of the group they’re in!). Communication is a strong suit for Gemini.
Cancer
Cancer is the zodiac’s first water sign, and it is empathetic, loving, and compassionate. This placement brings emotional intelligence and intuition. Cancer is a natural homebody, as symbolized by the crab, which carries its residence on its back.
Leo
Leo thrives in the limelight! Outgoing, playful, warm, and loyal, the fire sign is a good match for you. This zodiac sign is born to be a protector and leader. Although Leo has a bit of an ego, everyone loves this type of enthusiasm, therefore it’s well-deserved!
Virgo
Virgo energy is organized, practical, diligent, and analytical…but not dull! This earth sign is reserved at times, yet it is also faithful, honest, dedicated, supportive, and kind. As an earth sign, Virgo is also sensual, or sensual in the sense of being in touch with one’s senses.
Libra
Libra is all about balance, as represented by the scales. With a love for justice and fairness, this placement is diplomatic, peaceful, and adaptive. Libra is ruled by Venus and is associated with beauty and love.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a fiery sign associated with sex, death, and the occult. This is a strong, resilient, and restrained energy. Scorpio is an insightful and emotional water sign. Those feelings are sometimes veiled under a more guarded, threatening faade.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign of travel and philosophy, thus whomever has planets in this sign will have a lot of pleasure. This type of energy is also known for being direct, daring, spontaneous, and even a little flaky.
Capricorn
Capricorn is the zodiac’s chief executive officer. This zodiac sign is regarded for being powerful, hardworking, practical, and ambitious. It is concerned with respect, status, and safety. Cap, like fellow earth sign Virgo, is an earth sign with a sensuous component to it.
Aquarius
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign, and as such, it is cerebral, lively, and intelligent. This energy is bold, open-minded, charitable, and a little strange (or a lot eccentric). This symbol is frequently associated with science, technology, and humanitarianism.
Pisces
Pisces, the zodiac’s final sign, is a wise old soul. This water sign is recognized for its intuition, emotion, creativity, and dreamy outlook. Pisces is frequently associated with spirituality and compassion for others.
Is the ascendant the same as the North Node?
The Ascendant is the celestial point that rises above the horizon on the ecliptic. The North Node, to put it simply, is the point on the ecliptic where the Moon rises above the ecliptic.
What’s the difference between my two rising signs?
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: Your ascendant will be the same sign as your Sun sign if you were born at sunrise (or within two hours of it) (e.g., Taurus with a 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).
