Answer 1

Your rising sign is usually the sign close to your own that you have the most traits from... for example I am a cancer whose rising sign is Gemini, I have a very distinct and complex personality (I am moody) which can come off as two different personalities...sort of like a gemini!

Answer 2

Hi :D Well you have all the information to find it on your own with a astrology site they have calcutalors to find your whole chart with all your signs. planets, and houses. The rising sign is one of the closest influences it is nick named the 'rising sign' it has others like ascendant. But it is the 1st house position that house rules the self-expression. So it is like a mask sign that you wear over your sun sign & moon sign (the other close influences) Your sun is Aries telling from your birthday....the moon could be anywhere so go look that up on a site. Back to the rising sign it is the first impression you give of yourself....what you feel comfortable showing people you meet or don't know very well or just when you go out. Your extra sign with it's own movents, habits, personality, etc etc....it combines with your sun & moon plus your whole chart. The sun is the ego that you show when just being you & showing your real personality with people you feel right with, the moon is emotions & hidden unless you show that side of you & secure to show others, the rising hides it when you go out in front of others...then they get to know your sun & moon if they know you very well.......My guess on your rising sign is *taurus maybe aries based on the time, but I am estimating...go look :) The house positions are all set by time, which it is good you have that & can read your chart with a description they give you :D I hope I helped you out! xD

rising sign, is the face to the world, first impressions, appearance . . .

e.g if you had ascendant/rising in aquarius, you would come across as sociable, original and friendly to other people, but once people get to know you, they see your sun, moon, venus etc . . .
