What is a Rising Sign (Ascendant)?

While your Sun sign represents your core spirit, the Ascendant is your "Cosmic Mask." It is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. In astrology, the Ascendant defines how you interact with the world, the first impression you give to others, and the filter through which you view reality. Understanding your Rising Sign is the first step in decoding the complex structure of your 12 astrological houses.
