Your Rising sign -- or Ascendant -- reflects the Zodiac sign that was ascending on the Eastern horizon at the moment you were born. Located on the cusp of the First House of your birth chart, the Rising sign can exert an influence almost as powerful as your Sun sign. Your Rising sign represents the face that you present to the world. At times, your Rising sign may act as a mask, hiding some aspect of your inner self you don't feel like revealing. To find your Rising sign, you need to know your birth time. Run a free sample Personal Astrology Profile. Your Ascendant (Rising sign) will be listed on your complimentary chart wheel.
