What are the sun, moon and rising signs?

You are not alone if you have ever felt like you do not fully relate to your zodiac sign, also known as your sun sign. For this reason, many people who read their horoscope or their sign's personality profile dismiss astrology. However, that is because of incomplete information about astrology.

There is more to astrology than just the Sun sign. There are mainly three big signs that dominate your life and personality – the Sun sign or zodiac sign, moon sign and rising sign. Your rising and moon signs reveal a lot about what makes you tick.

Sun Sign

Even if you do not relate to the attributes of your zodiac sign, you will find patterns that correlate due to planetary motions at any given moment. Your sun sign basically identifies your ego, identity, life force and core. The sun is the most luminous force in our solar system and it reflects the same energy in your life as well. That energy is linked to your fundamental identity and the person you become through time. It is a cornerstone of your beliefs, objectives, and inner sense of self, and it indicates how you share your light with the world. Your bond with your Sun sign grows stronger as you get older because you gain confidence in being who and what you are in all of your beauty.

Moon Sign

The moon is the beacon that guides us through the night. It is linked to our inner world, moods, and emotions. The Moon sign reveals how we process inputs and then reflect our responses in our habits, reactions, and behaviours back to the world. The way we handle these energies determines not only how we express our intimate and sensitive sides, but also how we internalise and grasp our emotions. Your real goals and impulses are fueled by the Moon sign. Another way to think about the Moon sign is to consider it to be your inner spirit or soul. This energetic frequency flows naturally through you and is frequently a driving factor behind how you respond to others and the world.

Rising Sign

Because it determines where your natal chart begins, your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is incredibly essential in your birth chart. This Rising Sign is related to how others view you and how you connect with the outside world. So, consider your Rising sign as the mask you put on when you interact with the outside world. It typically reveals information about your own style, appearance, and even how you partner and interact with others. That's why, if your Sun sign is not quite describing your personality as effectively as possible, it is extremely probable that your Rising sign is taking centre stage! Our Rising signs are highly strong, frequently revealing the patterns we are now experiencing.
