Sun, Moon, Rising Sign: Understand Astrology’s Big 3

Who are you? What does your heart yearn for? How is your personality? The answer to these three questions are in your Birth Chart in the Astrology Big 3 – Sun, Moon and Rising Sign. The signs you have on each of these planets are your personality foundations.

Most people know their Sun Sign, which is the position of the Sun in relation to the Earth at the moment of a person’s birth. When you say “I’m a Cancer”, “my crush is a Taurus” or something like that, actually it doesn’t mean much, otherwise, there would only be 12 types of people on Earth.

That’s why your Sign is actually your whole Birth Chart, however if you analyze your Sun Sign, the Moon Sign, and your Rising Sign, the “Big 3 of Astrology”, you’ll have a more detailed portrait of who you are.

To find out what a person’s Sun Sign is, we only need their date of birth. All people born on November 15th, for example, are Scorpios.

But calculating the Rising Sign is way more complex. The Moon Sign is even more complicated.
