How Your Sun, Moon, And Rising Signs Shape Your Personality

Astrology has been around for centuries and is not a new concept. However, in recent times there is more of a focus and importance of astrology amongst millennials. Astrology has become the main conversation piece before people even learn your name! Millennials mainly focus on the zodiac aspect of astrology.

So what does it mean when you're amongst friends and they ask "What's your sun? What's your moon? What's your rising? 

Birth Chart

A birth chart represents the astrological aspects and positions of the planets at the moment of your birth. The very moment of the time you were born, your birth chart will explain how each planet will effect your life. In order to do your birth chart, you need to know the date, location, and time of your birth. So dig up your birth certificate or text your mom to find out this information!

Reading your birth chart can help you understand things about the way you communicate, the way you love, and even the way you think in certain situations. It can even reveal things about yourself that you are not aware of, things that you've may have dealt with in the past, or may experience in the future. The universe is such a big place and we all coexist with one another so it is no surprise that the planets are apart of our lives too.

"What's Your Sun?"

Back to this question! When someone asks what your sun sign is that basically means what is your zodiac sign? Are you a Pisces? Taurus? Based on your birthday and month, you can easily find out what your zodiac sign is if you don't  know already. 

Your Sun sign represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher self. Each sign has characteristics unique to them, but this does not mean that these characteristics define who you are as a person. For instance, if your Sun sign is cancer and you are an emotional being, well cancer is a water sign and is very in tune with their emotions and expression of them; so this could explain a lot! 

"What's Your Moon?"

Your moon sign in most cases is more important than your sun! It is based on the positioning of the moon at the time you were born. Like the moon moves in phases, your moon sign reveals how you react to life and its experiences. Your moon is your emotional understanding of things. So if you're a fire sign like Aries, you might react to things very passionately or spontaneously or at least feel them that way. Your moon is your "internal" you, you know the person you are late, late at night when no one can see? haha.

"What's Your Rising?"

The rising sign or ascendant is the mask we wear around others, how we present ourselves. The ascendant can describe your physical appearance and your persona. Your ascendant in a sense, represents your true, deep, and soul-level personality. For example, if you're a Pisces, you present yourself with a calm demeanor and physically your may have large eyes that seem to hold many secrets and wonders.

I know, I know, this is a lot to take in. By try doing your birth chart! There are many generators online and apps available for download. Once you read about what the other planets mean, you'll be blown away. Also, astrology can be a fun hobby depending on how deeply you get into it.
