In astrology, the sun, moon, and rising signs are the three main components of a person’s astrological chart, known as the “Big Three”. Each sign represents a different aspect of a person’s personality, and together they are said to provide a comprehensive picture of someone’s nature: 

  • Sun sign

    Represents a person’s core identity, motivations, and life’s purpose. It’s based on the position of the sun in the zodiac at the time of birth. 

  • Moon sign

    Represents a person’s emotional needs, instincts, and inner self. It’s based on the position of the moon in the zodiac at the time of birth. 

  • Rising sign
    Also known as the ascendant, this sign represents a person’s outward persona, how they present themselves to the world, and how others perceive them. It’s based on the position of the zodiac on the eastern horizon at the time of birth.
