Astrology is super popular right now and there are so many reasons why! Millions of people have found incredible insights into their lives, using the stars as their guides. Learning about your zodiac profile can help you not only find out more about your wants, needs, and personality but also about the relationships in your life. Now, you may find yourself a little lost in all this talk about signs, months, planets, houses, etc… but what does it all really mean, and how can using astrology help you?
For starters, let’s tackle the difference between your Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs:
While we all probably know our Sun Sign (determined by your birthday), few know about their Moon and Rising Signs. These signs are based on where the moon, planets, and stars were positioned at your time of birth. Let’s begin shall we…
- Your Moon Sign: Think of this sign as your innermost emotional self. It helps you process your deepest feelings and is based on where the Moon was situated when you were born. We often love and share our soul based on our moon sign. So, when looking for a partner using astrology, it is best to keep your moon in mind in order to pinpoint the best match. You can follow us on Instagram, where we post up to date compatibility charts based on your sign.
- Your Rising Sign: (AKA your ascendant) Think of your rising sign is your outer mask – or how you react to events naturally. It denotes which sign is on the horizon at the time of birth. Our initial reactions and spontaneous decisions are almost always in the hands of our rising signs.
- Your Sun Sign: (AKA your star sign) This is the sign you most identify with and is representative of your basic personality traits that remain fixed throughout your life. When you find people asking you about your zodiac sign, this is what they will likely expect you to say.
If you are looking to figure out your rising, moon, and sun signs, we recommend using the natal chart calculator from Astrology.com. It will tell you all this and more, but best to stick with the basics first. However, to truly unlock all the answers in such a chart, it is best to chat with a skilled astrologer, who can make sense of all your placements and alignments.
