Astrology – Your Ascendant Sign
Technically speaking, your rising sign, or ascendant, reflects the zodiac sign that was ascending on the Eastern horizon at the moment you took your first breath in this world. This is why an exact birth time is so vital to finding your accurate rising sign – Your Ascendant Sign. Located on the cusp of the first house of your astrological chart – or at the nine o’clock position – the rising sign can exert an influence almost as powerful as your Sun and Moon signs.
