Your Sun Sign describes what is likely to motivate you, and why. It shows the themes or issues that are likely to come up for you as you make your journey through life.
Rather than describing who you are, your Sun Sign points to what you are learning to develop and become. As you express the qualities of your Sun Sign sign, you can experience greater fulfilment and confidence.

Your Moon Sign
Your Moon Sign describes your instinctive and emotional make-up. It can illuminate your instinctive responses to life circumstances, and also represents your early home/family life.
Your Moon Sign (and house) reveals those things that you do instinctively, how you are likely to react emotionally, and what you will feel in various situations.
In many ways, your Moon Sign will describe what you do naturally, and your Sun Sign will point to what you will develop, as well as who you must become
It’s really important to know that whilst your Sun Sign describes qualities you are learning to develop and become, your Moon Sign shows what you already are.
What Is A Rising Sign? Choose the Best Path
Your Ascendant
Your Ascendant (or Rising Sign) reveals the ways in which you present yourself to others, and how you immediately respond to the world.
It describes the ways in which you project yourself out into the environment, and the kinds of experiences you need to have in order to make your life meaningful.
You can think of your Ascendant as symbolizing the qualities you project in different situations, or the mask that you wear as you encounter something new.
The Ascendant or Rising Sign is the degree of the Zodiac that was rising above the eastern horizon at the moment that you are born.
To find your Ascendant, you will need to know the time and place that you were born.
