Birth Chart: Sun, Moon and Rising Sign
Your star sign is only the sun. Your moon sign describes your inner emotional life, and your rising sign is the face you show the world. Enter your birth details below and all three are worked out from the actual positions of the sun and moon at that moment.
Why three signs and not one
The sun takes about a month to cross a sign, so millions of people share yours. The moon changes sign every two and a half days, and the rising sign changes every couple of hours. Together the three narrow things down a great deal, which is why two people with the same star sign can feel nothing alike.
Why the birth time matters
The rising sign depends on the exact place the horizon was pointing when you were born, so it moves through all twelve signs in a single day. An hour of error can put it in the wrong sign. The sun and moon move far more slowly, which is why those two are still worth calculating even without a time.
