What's a sun sign, moon sign Libra, and rising sign/asc?

Question

I only know i'm a taurus cuz my b-day is may 11 what do all these other signs mean?

Answer 1

sun sign is the sign in which the sun is placed at the time of the birth. The western system of astrology functions on sun sign and progression of planets. Moon sign is the sign in which the moon was placed at the time of birth. The ascendant is the sign which was rising in the east at the latitute of the place at the time where/ when you were born. Of all the three, the most important is the ascendant as it defines all your characteristics.

Answer 2

Taurus is your sun sign in western astrology. In Vedic astrology, you might be Aries. (The lunar calendar used by Vedic astrology affects how the sun signs are viewed.)

Your ascendant refers to the constellation that was rising as you were born, which is why a good astrologer wants to know where you were born and the most accurate time of your birth you can provide. In Vedic astrology, the ascendant is more important to your birth chart than your sun sign.

The second most important aspect of your chart in Vedic astrology is where the ruling planet of your ascendant is located. For instance, if your ascendant is Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon, where was the Moon when you were born? (which house, and in relationship to what other planets?)

The sun sign is actually considered third in most Vedic astrology readings.
