Astrology Rising Signs or Ascendant
your Mask to the World
Rising Signs - also commonly refered to as the Ascendant is the sign that was rising in the sky the moment you were born. That sign is like the mask you show to the world. This can explain why people sometimes think we do not look like our Sun Sign.
