Sun, Moon, and Rising Defined

What do your sun, moon, and rising signs mean, anyway? And is there really a difference between the three?

Yes, there is!

You sun sign shows you your life’s purpose—the person you are meant to be. Your sun sign is determined by the position of the sun at the exact time of your birth.

Your moon sign shows you your interior self—who you are deep down. Your moon sign is determined by the position of the moon at the exact time of your birth.

Your rising sign (also known as your ascendant) describes your motivation for living and how you appear to others—your surface self. Your rising sign is the sign that was ascending the eastern horizon at the time of your birth.

Most people know their sun sign, but knowing your big three can give you a fuller, more well-rounded idea of who you really are—and knowing your whole birth chart can give you the most intimate and precise understanding of yourself.
