How do I figure this out and what does it mean?

Question

Moon?

Rising sign?

Ascendant?

Yadda yadda yadda?


By the way, I'm a Leo born on August 7, 1982.

Answer 1

The ascendant and rising sign are two words for the same thing. It is the sign on the eastern horizon (rising) at the time/date/location of your bith.

To determine this go to: http://www.astro.com and choose chart drawing, putting in the date/year/time of day/city/state/country.

Where the sun sign is your 'ego' the rising sign represents
the things you strive for.

You moon sign is how you relate on an emotional basis.
Your venus sign, what you appreciate.
Mars, what you will fight for, or how you go about achieving your goals.

The rest of the planets are slower moving and have more of a generational influence.

The angles these planets form to each other, and the signs they occupy, as well as the houses they sit in, show the energies that operate in your life, and if they come easily for you or if you have obstacles to overcome.

Answer 2

The Moon shows your relationship with your mother, and also how you respond to change in your life, by sign and house. Your ascendant and rising sign are the same thing, except that your ascendant tells you the degree of the rising sign.

Answer 3

The moon sign and its relationship with the sun sign is told by the appearance of the moon.

New moon..... sun sign = moon sign
Full moon...... the two signs are opposed
Growing crescent moon... sun sign +1.5
Growing half moon.... +3 signs

The ascendant, or rising sign indicates the amount of spin made by the earth from the beginning of the zodiac wheel since the beginning of the day.
