What is a rising sign?
Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact minute and place you were born. Because it changes about every two hours, two people born on the same day can have different ascendants. It is the one placement your birthday alone cannot tell you.
Your Sun sign is who you are. Your rising sign is who people meet first. It changes about every two hours, which is why the exact minute matters, and why your birthday alone can never tell you this one.
