Sun, Moon & Rising Signs: How to Find Them & What They Mean

FAQs

To find your sun, moon and rising signs, you'll want to create a birth chart, which maps the planets' placements at the time and place you were born. Astrologers use a book called an ephemeris, which provides charts of what each planet was in on a particular day at a particular time.
Taken all together, your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs are often called your “Big Three.” Each of these signs plays a v. important role in your birth chart, and each describes a different part of your personality and life story.
“If you look at the zodiac birth chart, it looks like a clock,” Edut explains. “It moves like a dial every two hours, so whatever part of the sky is at the nine o'clock point [when you're born] is your rising sign.” This is because the nine o'clock point represents the eastern horizon, i.e. where the sun rises.
Astrology analyzes personality through sun (Aries: bold, self-expression), moon (Cancer: nurturing, emotional needs), and rising signs (Pisces: imaginative, outward persona).
Your Sun sign is easy to determine, through your day and month of birth. Your Moon sign can be determined by a calculation of your full date, place and time of birth.
