Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Ascendant or Rising Sign?

Your Ascendant (or Rising Sign) is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It represents your outer personality, how others perceive you, and your approach to life.

Why is birth time important for calculating the Ascendant?

The Ascendant changes approximately every 2 hours as the Earth rotates. Even a few minutes difference in birth time can result in a different Rising Sign, making accurate birth time crucial for this calculation.

How does the Ascendant differ from the Sun Sign?

Your Sun Sign represents your core identity and ego, while your Ascendant represents your outer personality and the mask you wear in public. The Sun is who you are, the Ascendant is how you appear.

Can my Ascendant be the same as my Sun Sign?

Yes, it's possible to have the same sign for both your Sun and Ascendant, though it's relatively uncommon. This creates a strong emphasis on that sign's characteristics in your personality.
