What is a Rising Sign?
“What is my Ascending Sign, or Ascendant Sign?” and “What is the Rising Sign to begin with?” Also called a Rising Sign, it is said your Sun Sign which is based on date of birth is your personal identity but your Ascendant Sign is calculated by your exact time of birth down to the minute combined with your exact location of birth. The Ascendant Sign is characterized as your social self because it is how we present ourselves and how others perceive us. It combines with our Sun Signs to create aspects of personality and mannerisms. The Rising Sign is the sign rising above the Earth at the moment of birth, and it is said to be what was rising when we took our initial breaths, and our soul entered us and we became who we are.

People know you are not afraid to take risks and you know that somebody has to take chances to get the ball rolling on new things.

You can be impulsive, quick to anger, and your ambition knows no bounds. You are straightforward in how you speak to others, and although you can sometimes get angry fast, you seldom hold grudges.

They can cross over to unbudging stubbornness and can be biased and will refuse to listen to another viewpoint when they feel like it. Anger can overtake them, and they can overindulge too much in whatever it is they enjoy. They will be highly protective and generous with those they love.
