What does the sun and moon and rising mean in a zodiac sign?

* If you want to find out what your chart is, you need to know your time of birth, date and place of birth. The more exact the better. There are many sites that give you a natal (birth) chart. I like www.cafeastrology.com because it gives you interpretations of all the parts of the chart. Now, the Sun sign is the sign we were in when you were born. So if you were born in the beginning of July your Sun was in Cancer. It represents your innermost core being. Who you are at the basic without any other influences. The Moon represents your way of expressing your emotions, how you do so without thinking, your basic emotions. Your rising, or Ascendant, is the sign that is on the first house of your chart. Technically it is the sign constellation that was in the sky at the time you were born. What it tell you is the way you are perceived by other people, no matter who you really are. It also describes your outlook on life. If there are planets right on the ascendant, or conjunct, it will give you an idea of your appearance. There are many other planets and signs and houses in your chart, all of which describe the whole person you are. Its fascinating, because you are!

In a nutshell, the sign that your Sun is in shows what kind of person you are in the process of becoming.

The Rising Sign, or sign on the eastern Horizon at the moment of your birth, taken together with the planets that surround it, show the persona you show the world, your means of contacting the world, and the strategy you have of living in the world.

The Moon sign shows the hidden world of emotions, the past, your childhood, and what you believe the most admirable person to be like.

It's all apart of your birth chart.

Your sun sign is basically what zodiac sign you are. Your moon sign is basically about your emotions. Rising sign is how you really are deep down.
