and rising.

Answer 1

I fully understand your question, although the answer is somewhat elusive.

My Sun sign is Scorpio. My "rising" is Aries. Rising sign in astrology points to your general personality. My personality is like the Aries sign. Since Aries is the first "house" I tend to be a self-starter, forward and leader.

Answer 2

There's a lot more to Astrology than just your Sun Sign. The Sun Sign is the Sign that everyone says they are. Like if someone says "I'm a Cancer." It means their Sun is in Cancer, according to the Tropical Zodiac. Same with the Moon and Rising, they just say which signs those entities were in.

"The Moon is said to rule your personality, while the Sun rules your individuality, while the Ascendant Sun dictates our outer appearance and mannerisms."
