Rising sign

The face you present to the world.

The characteristics associated with sun signs don't always fit: we all know Leos who aren't party animals and Virgos who aren't practical. Sun signs tell only part of the story - it is the rising sign that holds the key to the image we present to the rest of the world...

Your sun sign is determined by the date on which you were born, but your rising sign (also known as the ascendant) is determined by the constellation that was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. This rising sign changes about every two hours. Although you may identify with the characteristics of your sun sign, it's likely that you hide some of these traits behind a mask, or persona. It's your rising sign that influences the facade you present to others, particularly when you are faced with a new or unknown situation.

Apart from personality traits and mannerisms that project a certain image, the rising sign is also associated with your appearance and physical features. In addition, the opposite sign of the ascendant - the descendant - describes the type of person you are likely to attract in relationships.

What impression do you make on others, and what sort of mask do you present to the world? Follow this guide to learn a little more about yourself...
