What is a rising sign?

The Ascendant, also known as the “Rising Sign” in English, represents the zodiac sign that was rising on the horizon at the time of your birth, so it is important to remember the time of your birth. While the Sun reveals your core essence, the Ascendant shapes how you present yourself to the world and how people perceive you.

“When we analyze the position of the ascendant and read the houses in the astral chart, we are essentially reading the journey and life story of that person. Therefore, our personal problems, our luck, our shadow, our light and our potential are all described in accordance with this positioning,” astrologer Nathalie Maciel told the UOL portal.

Detecting your ascendant

To find out your ascendant, you need to know the exact date, time and place of your birth. With this information, you can use an online rising sign calculator, which is easily found on free websites, or consult a professional astrologer to perform the calculations.
