What is a Rising Sign?
Your rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It represents your outward personality, first impressions, and how you present yourself to the world.
While your Sun sign (like Leo Sun) reflects your core identity, your Rising sign acts as the "mask" you wear in social situations and new environments.
