Frequently asked questions
What is the rising sign?
In astrology, the rising sign (ascendant) is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It changes about every two hours, so it depends on the exact time and place you were born, not just the date.
Why do I need the exact time?
Because the ascendant moves about 1 degree every 4 minutes. A half-hour difference in birth time can change the rising sign when it's near the start or end of a sign. The time is usually on your birth certificate.
How are the signs calculated?
The tool calculates the position of the Sun and the Moon with simplified astronomical formulas, with an error of a fraction of a degree, and the ascendant and midheaven from local sidereal time and latitude, in the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology. Astrology is a cultural tradition with no scientific proof: use it for fun and self-reflection.
