What is Rising Sign?
“The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world, unconsciously remembers it, and remains sensitive to the return of configurations of a similar kind.”—Johannes Kepler
My sign is Cancer and I am a Sagittarius Ascendant. Everyone knows that Cancer is the zodiac sign, but what is a Sagittarius Ascendant, and what does it mean?
Sagittarius Ascendant is my rising sign. According to theSun.co.uk, a rising sign – also known as the ascendant sign – is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon the moment you were born. The rising sign, often referred to as first impression, can reveal more about the “outer” you. This sign represents who you are when people first meet you and how you react to them. It also represents your attitude towards daily situations, including your spontaneous defense mechanism? It also represents your outlook on the world.

“The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection…”- Carl Jung
If you are constantly trying to understand why you are the way you are, learning about your rising sign can provide some clarity. If you already believe in zodiac signs and what they say about us, why not look at the other pieces of the puzzle?
If you are ever confused about how people see you, or other’s reactions to you when they first meet you, finding out your rising sign and learning about it can provide some understanding. Often we do not see what others see in us so the reactions we get from them might be confusing at times.
How Does This Relate To Spirituality And Awakening?
“Astrology is a Language. If you understand this language, The Sky Speaks to You.”—Dane Rudhyar
Spirituality is a journey to remembering that you are not just a body but spirit as well. Until we built the ultimate trust in the universe and ourselves, it is inevitable that we will rely on outside signs to guide us. Until we realize that all the answers that we have and ever had and will ever have lie inside of us, we will look to the outside for them.
Our universe is a gentle universe, if you believe it. It wants you to awake to who you really are ( not just a pile of
bones and flesh) but it will guide you into a gentle awakening process if you allow it. If you are guided to the rising sign and want to explore more to help you navigate through the seeming different paths of life, you should trust your instinct and let it guide you.
When you are ready to progress, the need to look into outside symbols with disappear naturally. You will just lose interest into them. Until then, go ahead, use whatever symbols and signs are necessary to further your trust in the universe and the process.
You can also do this for entertainment. Find out what rising star you are and reading the applicable description just to see if it’s accurate. It could be a fun thing to do with your significant other, friends, or family. This might be an idea for an entertaining night.
Whatever the reasons you high have to want to find out which rising signs you are, it will not hurt, so go ahead and have fun.
I would love to hear from you. Please share your thoughts on the rising sign and whether they should have a place in our lives.
Well, to be honest, I dont think much of it has to with rising signs as much as it is to do with that person being out of order. I think it’s high time the human race started to take responsibility for their actions instead of relying on Gods to fix things for them or blame it on star signs. Maybe once were shot of all that nonesense, we can make the planet a better place to libve.
Thank you for your interesting comment. I wasn’t trying to suggest that we should not take responsibility for our actions and for who we are, but I do think that being able to understand yourself better might help with that.
In my own experience, I know that some people that I meet I am able to connect with right away and some not so much. Why is that? Maybe the stars and signs have something to do with it?
Again, thank you for sharing your opinion.
This is very interesting as I have never heard of the rising sign before.
It is very interesting how it can explain many of your traits and personalities.
It would be great to put it to the test for me, but unfortunately I have no idea what time I was born at, as I have forgotten and my mum is no longer alive.
Instead I will keep it for when visitors are in and get them to check theirs, so we can all discuss how accurate it is. That will be great entertainment and hopefully will have us laughing all evening.
Hi Geoff, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I guess not everyone will be able to check as not everyone will know the time of their birth. It’s just a fun tool, and I like your idea. Testing it on your friends and family would definitely be great and fun night.
In the end, we are who we are and whether we can assign some attributes to the horoscope sign or the rising sign, it will not make a difference.
Hi There, the rising sign is based on time of birth, place of birth and dictates how the rest of our horoscope chart plays out.
How we act naturally is symbolized by the sign that was rising at our time of birth and it’s how we present ourselves to people. Rising sign also determines timing in our life.
As you explained in your article, our rising sign reflects our personality and behavioral attitudes as a social being.
I want to know my rising sign but I don’t know my time of birth. Is there any other way to know the rising sign, if you don’t know your time of birth?
Thank you for your question Bushra. I figured a lot of people will not know their exact birthday, but I’m not aware of any other way to figure out your rising sign. The sign changes every 2 hours, that’s why the exact time is necessary to determine it.
My suggestion would be to maybe try checking your birth certificate. I know the short form will not have that detail, but if you can request a copy of the long form birth certificate, it will have many more details on it, like the time of birth, the attending physician, etc.
I hope this helps and you are able to determine your rising sign.
