Common questions
What is a rising sign?
Your Rising sign, or ascendant, is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It describes how you meet the world and how others first see you.
Why do I need my birth time?
The Rising sign changes about every two hours, and the Moon moves about one sign every two and a half days. An exact time makes both accurate.
Can my Moon sign be different from my Sun sign?
Yes, and it usually is. The Sun and Moon move at different speeds, so most people have them in different signs.
