Calculate your sign and learn about what your rising means for your unique personality.
Also called your ascendant sign, it is the personality that others see you as. Your rising is the external personality that is easiest for you to show other people before they get to know who you truly are. If you are at a cocktail party making small talk, this is the aspect of your personality that will shine through to others. It works complementary to your sun sign in astrology by helping you grow into your sun personality.
The ascendant is the second most important feature in a horoscope. It complements your sun sign personality, which represents who you are trying to become. Typically, a sun-sign personality will leverage the key aspects of the rising sign to help find the courage to develop into its full potential. For example, if you have a Pisces rising and a Sagittarius sun, you will use your natural intuition about spirituality to develop new religious theories. Using your sun and rising sign helps unlock your personality's superpower. Additionally, astrologers will identify the rising sign's ruling planet and assign it as the birth chart ruler. The ruler unlocks more clues for major themes throughout your life.
Your rising zodiac sign is located in your birth chart's easternmost (leftmost) point. Your astrology chart is a snapshot of the sky above where you were born. Therefore, it is based on the time of a person's birth and location. Astrologers use this snapshot of the sky to unlock your unique personality imprint received from all the constellations and planets at the time of birth.
You will need your birth time and location to calculate your rising sign, sun and moon sign, and planetary alignments. This is easily accessible on your birth certificate.

It represents the personality that comes most naturally to you. This will be the personality that people see when they first meet you.

Yes! This is exactly what the ascendent sign represents. If you've ever been confused by someone talking about how you are and it doesn't fit your sun sign, well, it's because they are talking about your rising!

You act differently with your mother than with someone you opened the door for at the grocery store.
Water signs like other Water and Earth signs. Earth likes Earth and Water. Air signs like other Air and Fire signs. Fire likes Fire and Air. Those pairs often just get each other.

No. It is a piece of the puzzle since it represents how people experience you on first dates, so in that regard, it's a good piece of information to know.

No. The personality that one is growing into is represented by the sun zodiac. For the longevity of relationships, this is the more important sign. However, it is important to consider your ascendant when understanding compatibility. Imagine taking your beau to a cocktail party and not recognizing the personality they are! You will want to be informed of who their surface-level personality is so you don't run into situations where you feel like you don't know the person at all! Alternatively, rising will be who shows up to your first date, but once you get deeper, a whole other personality will show up. In this case, it will be important to know which version of the person you are getting so you can make an informed decision on whether to continue or not.

The moon is especially important for the manifestation of your life because it's the personality you listen to most. The sun represents who you are attempting to become.

Yes, but it's not typically the sign that indicates the best dharmic path for your personality.

Working with an astrologer can help you uncover all the aspects that go into determining your best career path by helping you understand your 10th and 11th house signs, and the Saturn sign and Mars sign are located in your astrology chart.
No, it explains part of your personality, but it is not a complete look into your entire personality.
