rising sign

Eastern zodiac marker

In astrology, a rising sign (also called an ascendant) is the zodiac sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of a person's birth.

While a sun sign reflects core personality, the rising sign is thought to govern outward appearance, first impressions, and how someone presents themselves to the world.

Her rising sign is Scorpio, which supposedly explains why people find her intense at first meeting.

Astrologers consider it essential for casting a complete natal chart.
