Rising Signs Explained: The Sign That Runs Your Whole Chart

You asked for this one. After the first house mini episode, so many of you wrote in wanting to go deeper into your rising sign, so here is the full hour.

Your rising sign is the sign that was on the eastern horizon the moment you took your first breath, and it changes about every two hours, which is why two people born on the same day in the same hospital can be almost entirely different. I have met twins born twenty minutes apart with different rising signs. It is the most personal placement in your chart, and it is also the one most people cannot see in themselves.

Here is why. Your rising sign is not only how people meet you. It is the lens you are looking through, and you cannot see the glasses you are wearing. It is also the architecture of your whole chart. It starts your first house, every other house follows from it, and its planetary ruler becomes the ruler of your entire life. Find that ruler, find the house it sits in, and you have just found the most important area of your chart.

Then I walk you through all twelve rising signs: what people feel when you enter a room, what you are seeing when you look out, and the specific thing each one is growing into. I do not think we learn our rising sign. I think we are born in it, forget it somewhere in childhood, and spend the rest of our lives remembering it.
