FAQs

How do you calculate a rising sign? Your rising sign, also known as your ascendant sign, is calculated using the exact time of your birth on your birthday. There are many free sites that offer a rising sign chart, including this one.
Astrologers need the precise time of birth to cast a chart because the position of the horizon changes so quickly, Viera says. You can locate your rising on a circle chart by finding the line that cuts horizontally through the center and following it to the left. The sign that that line cuts through is your rising.
How do you work out your rising sign? First, you need to take a look at your birth chart (you can do that online here or here). Your ascendant is the sign that was emerging over the Eastern horizon at the time of your birth.
The degree of your Ascendant is calculated using your date, time, and place of birth. It is the (degree of the) Sign rising on the Eastern Horizon when you were born. The Chart you have there is using the “Equal House System” which divides the 360 degree wheel into 12 Equal Houses of 30 degrees each.
Likewise, the rising sign is an extremely sensitive placement: The ascendant changes zodiac signs every two hours, so in order to calculate your rising sign, you need to know your exact (not approximate) time of birth.
