Rising Sign Descriptions...
Our rising sign represents our seemingly
instinctual approach to dealing with the world.
|
The rising sign is the lens or filter through which we view and experience the world.
The planet ruling the rising sign is the chart ruler...
Whatever planet rules the rising sign in your chart is given added fuel by also being your chart ruler. It gains power and influence in your chart making it nearly as powerful as your sun and moon. The rising sign combines with the planet ruling it, and together they color the whole chart. The house in which it is located is also given more prominence in the life of the chart holder and is connected with the attitude given by the rising sign. For example, the planet Mars in the chart of an Aries rising person is given added emphasis along the house where Mars is located. |
Rising signs are the most obvious part of our astrological make up. It's the outer-most layer of a person and casts its shadow on the whole natal chart, coloring it with its sign. It affects our appearance, attitude, how fast or slow we move, how we interpret new information, situations or people, and our immediate reactions.
