3. Your birth chart will show you that you actually have three ‘Big’ signs…
Your birth chart will show you that you are not just your Sun sign, but you also have a Moon and Rising (Ascendant) Sign, as well as many other seasonal and subtle signs.
Our Sun signs indicate the zodiac sign that the Sun occupied during the time you were born. So, if you were born on June 10, for example, you are a Gemini in terms of your Sun sign. However, your Moon and Rising signs are equally important.
Your Moon sign represents your instinctual self, which you might keep hidden from others. This can be interpreted as the “darkness” in you, and where you go to find peace and a place to rest your head from the pressures of the world. It also governs emotional development, and can greatly explain your behavior. Some astrologers believe our Moon signs more accurately describe who we are, although the culmination of your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign should encompass your true essence.
Finally, your Rising sign describes people’s first impression of you, and how you appear to the world around you. It can either be the same as your Sun sign or completely different. Our rising signs help us determine how we will take action in the world, and what sort of help we can offer to others.
