Your rising sign is the sign which occupies your first house in the zodiac. It is the beginning of your chart, it is where the sun rises, where you have learned to present yourself to the outside world. This is in more of a context outside the home, to people who are not closest to you. Those people know you at the core of your being and know who you really are most of the time. This is how you appear in atypical situations, somewhere or someone you are not at ease with, a new social situation, perhaps. This is the masque you put on for the world concealing your true nature.


Here is a website I found on the internet via a google search to calculate your rising sign. This is the beginning of your chart, once you have found this out, you are on your way!

Make sure you call mum or dad and ask them your time and exact place of birth!
