Your Rising sign is instinctual but not refined. A person’s Rising sign and its associated qualities are often noticed first upon meeting or interacting, and these qualities and style are difficult to hide. Your Rising sign reflects the way you spontaneously approach life – how you show up and the first impression you make on others. Your Rising sign is a big part of who you’re discovering yourself to be in this lifetime. You chose an exact moment to be born, and the birth chart is a cosmic reflection of you – a mirror for self-discovery. To create an accurate birth chart, you need your exact birth time (hour and minute) because the Rising sign is fast-moving (yes – a minute can make a difference). Your Rising sign, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. This archetype teaches us to explore our subconscious lunar landscape to receive our deepest sense of self and inner wisdom. The Tarot card correspondence is The High Priestess, Major Arcana II. Shadow Moon can show up as needy, mothering or caretaking without healthy boundaries, smothering, hypersensitive, defensive, overly protective, highly irrational, emotionally immature, unstable, and insecure. The sign your Moon is in reflects your emotional nature, natural instincts, reactions, habits, memories, ancestry, early home environment, and what makes you feel comfortable and safe. While the Sun is the light you radiate outward, the Moon is your inner light and inner life – it shines in the dark. It’s also your mystery and the way you get hunches and feelings in your bones. It reflects your desire to nurture, protect, belong, and connect with your roots. Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon was in the moment you were born. Existence on Earth without our Moon would mean very dark nights forever. The external force of the Moon stabilizes Earth’s 23.5-degree axial tilt, preventing catastrophic shifts – imagine no seasons at all or rolling on our side like Uranus, with the most extreme seasons imaginable. The Moon’s gravity pulls on Earth’s oceans, causing tides, and its movement affects our emotions, reactions, and even our bodily cycles. The Moon is the closest astronomical body to Earth, giving it strong influence over us. This is the card of CO-creation, and inner divinity expressed through humanity. The Tarot card correspondence is The Sun, Major Arcana XIX. The Sun is associated with the daytime, consciousness, and what’s rational and visible.Įverything has a light and dark side, and shadow Sun can show up as self-absorption, arrogance, drama, taking things too personally, trying to outshine everyone, stealing the spotlight, being overly attached to attention and applause, and simply selfish. It also represents courage and pride in yourself, which is necessary to actualize your potential. Your Sun sign shows what gets and keeps you charged up and what can run your battery down. Just as the Sun is the center of our solar system, the Sun in your birth chart is the core nature of your spirit or essence that infuses all of you, and life around you, with its energy. The sign your Sun is in reflects the special way you’re meant to shine in the world. Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign the Sun was in the moment you were born. From our perspective on Earth, it looks like the Sun moves around us, spending one month of the year in each sign. The Sun is the planet (technically a star) of purpose, vitality, and creation. But, there’s a lot we can learn from the parts and now we’ll dive right into astrology basics – your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. The bottom line is that while astrology reveals many things about you, it doesn’t tell you who you are. It helps to remember the parts never add up to the whole – in this case, the individual planets and angles in the chart don’t equate to the whole person. Even if you look at your Sun sign on its own, your energy is more of overall alchemy or synergy. What I mean, for example, is that the Sun isn’t operating by itself. Keep in mind that nothing operates in a vacuum and that includes the parts of our birth charts. So, if you want to know more, where do you start? Most of us agree the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs are a good place to begin exploring. And, the more we discover about our solar system and the galaxy, the more we have to integrate and evolve in our practice. Astrology is a big field, so big even the most experienced and renowned astrologers still have plenty to learn.
