Discover Your Rising Sign
Find out how the world sees you and the mask you wear in new situations
Exact Birth Time is Critical
Your rising sign changes every 2 hours. Even a 10-minute difference can lead to a completely different sign. Please ensure you have your exact birth time from your birth certificate or hospital records before proceeding.
What is a Rising Sign?
Your rising sign, also called your ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born. It's like your spiritual front door—the first impression you give off to people before they really get to know you.
Unlike your sun sign, which stays the same for nearly a month, your rising sign shifts every two hours. That makes it incredibly specific to your exact birth time. Even if you and someone else share the same birthday, your rising signs could be completely different, and that can make a big difference in how you both move through the world.
What Your Rising Sign Reveals:
- First Impressions: How others perceive you when they first meet you
- Physical Appearance: Your natural style, mannerisms, and energy
- Life Approach: How you navigate new situations and challenges
- Chart Foundation: Sets up all 12 houses in your birth chart
- Personal Evolution: The qualities you're here to grow into
Real Example
Meet Meera, a software engineer from Delhi. She always saw herself as shy and analytical (her Virgo sun), but friends described her as confident and magnetic. It wasn't until she discovered her Leo rising that things clicked. Her Leo ascendant gave off bold, radiant energy that others instantly noticed, even though her inner self was more reserved.
Important: To get accurate results, you must know your exact birth time. Check your birth certificate, hospital records, or ask family members. Vague answers like "early morning" or "after lunch" won't work—the more precise, the better!
