It’s essentially the sign that was rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of your birth. While your moon sign is considered to represent your inner self, your rising sign is said to represent your exterior self and how others see you.

What is your ascension?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It refers to the picture you put out into the world, or the mask you wear, and it provides insight into your abilities, talents, and tactics for navigating life. If you’ve ever felt like people don’t recognize you as your sun sign right away, it’s because they’re probably seeing your rising.
Is it possible to find your rising sign without knowing your date of birth?
You must know your exact birth time in order to establish your rising sign. Because the rising sign changes every two hours, this is the case. Fortunately, your birth time is printed on your birth certificate.
What does your moon sign imply?
Almost everyone knows their star sign (also known as sun sign), but what about our moon sign? Everything you need to know is right here.
The sign in which the sun was when you were born determines your star (or sun) sign. Because the earth takes 30-31 days to rotate around the sun and change signs, you share your sun sign with everyone born during that month. The brushstrokes of your personality, or ‘outer self,’ are determined by your solar sign. Your moon sign, on the other hand, reveals the REAL you, the private person you know yourself to be.
Because the moon only spends about two days in each sign, it’s a lot more unpredictable component of your birth chart. It largely explains why you are so unlike the other people you know who have your sun sign (does anybody else ever feel a little embarrassed when they learn that a despised celebrity shares their sun sign?)
The cauldron of emotions, fears, longings, and obsessions simmering beneath the surface of your sun sign-driven ego is reflected in your moon sign. It’s all about the inner self, its motives and fears. It has a significant impact on your interpersonal interactions and how you FEEL about things. It’s a deep hole.
How can I locate my birth chart in the absence of time?
Because of the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are always in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It’s a photograph of the sky taken at the time and place when you first entered the world. For an accurate chart reading, you must know your exact birth time, date, and location.
The Moon, for example, changes signs every 2-3 days. Only your birth time can tell you what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it moved from one sign to another.
Rising indicators change even more quickly. The ascendant (also known as the rising sign) is the sign that is currently climbing over the Eastern horizon. This is the point in your birth chart that most closely symbolizes you: your body, your vitality, and your sense of self. This sign forms your 1st House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that becomes your 2nd House of assets, resources, and livelihood, and the sign after that forms your 3rd House of communication, everyday life, siblings, and extended family, among other things. You won’t know which signs match to which residences unless you know your rising sign.
Every 1-2 hours, rising signs move, with the entire zodiac rolodexing over the horizon in a 24-hour period. Furthermore, every couple of minutes, the exact degree ascending (that is, the degree of your ascendant) advances. That’s why, in astrology, your rising sign is so essential, and why we put so much emphasis on it in the CHANI app. It is one-of-a-kind to you.
The same can be stated for your birth chart’s other anchors. The exact time, day, and location of your birth establish the points of your MC (which represents your career and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).
If you don’t know your birth time, there are a variety of ways to work with your chart, but we wanted to provide you some ideas on how to find the most accurate astrological analysis possible. It helps if you know and interact with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied protocols when it comes to documenting births. That is not an option for many persons who have been adopted or whose parents are deceased or have lost contact.
Age can also be a factor. It may be more difficult to locate earlier data, while this is not always the case, and/or some hospitals only began recording birth times after a certain date.
Leave no stone unturned
If there is research to be done, go ahead and do it. It doesn’t mean your birth time wasn’t recorded just because you don’t see it on your birth certificate at home. Many people have only their short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a certified statement that the long-form certificate exists. It usually provides the most important information, such as your birthdate, but not the time. The document recorded in the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. It frequently includes other information, such as the names of the parents, their dates of birth, the name of the hospital, and, yes, the time of birth.
Call the local government office in charge of birth records to obtain a long-form certificate. In your area, this can be referred to as the “vital statistics ministry,” “department,” or “office,” or something different entirely. Depending on where and when you were born, it could be state-wide, provincial-wide, county-wide, or parish-wide.
Before you order the certificate, make sure the birth time is correct on the record. With astrology’s current popularity, even normalization, you won’t be the only one who makes this request.
Alternatively, you might contact the hospital where you were born. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t keep them themselves.
Finding your long-form birth certificate is always the best option, even if your caregivers or parents believe they know when you were born. The majority of those there at your birth were preoccupied with other things, and their memories are less reliable than you may think. Remember that your rising sign might alter in a matter of minutes, so if feasible, get a precise time rather than one rounded to the hour.
Go digging
Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, and other items. It’s possible that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous caregiver, parent, or grandparent meticulously recorded the hour of your birth in their notebook.
Ask around
Inquire of your parents, caretakers, or anyone who may have witnessed your birth, such as a relative or family friend. As noted, finding a document with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can narrow down your options for your rising sign by the hour or approximate time of day, that can help you identify your Moon and narrow down your chances for your rising sign.
Rectify your chart
You can try to have your chart corrected by an astrologer who specializes in this technique as a final option. There will always be some learning through trial and error. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work successfully for certain people. While we don’t provide recommendations for astrologers who undertake this work, we recommend reaching out to your networks (or inquiring on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know works with a reputable astrologer.
Is Pisces a sun sign or a moon sign?
Most people are interested in your sun sign when they inquire about your zodiac sign. To begin, it’s critical to comprehend what the word “sun sign” actually means. It simply tells us which zodiac sign the Sun was in at the moment of one’s birth, also known as the zodiac sign. So, from Aries to Pisces, the sun might be in any of the 12 zodiac signs, which determines your personality according to astrology. Your zodiac sign can reveal both positive and bad aspects of your personality.
In essence, your solar sign defines what you want out of life and the exact combination of qualities and traits you’ll inherit to get there. Every zodiac sign has a ruling plant that influences and governs the personality of those born beneath it. The planet Mercury, for example, rules the sign of Virgo, which is known as the plant of communication. This is why you have yet to meet a Virgo who lacks exceptional communication abilities and is incapable of handling any type of information.
