People think of astrology and they think of their Sun sign, the zodiac sign of their birth date. But another important factor that astrologers say plays a major role in first impressions is the Rising Sign or Ascendant.The Rising Sign is the zodiac sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of birth. Astrology says it has to do with outward behaviour, appearance, mannerisms and the energy people give out when you first meet them.The Sun sign is the core of one’s identity, the Moon sign is the inner emotional world and the Rising Sign is also called the “mask” we show in the outer world.Your Rising Sign tells us about the outer persona you present to the world.
