Your rising sign
The rising sign is the sign coming up on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. In astrology it speaks of the way you meet the world, the first impression. The whole zodiac crosses the horizon in a day: the rising sign changes about every two hours, hence the need for the exact time and place.

Positions computed from the NASA JPL DE440s ephemeris, on the ecliptic of the birth date (tropical zodiac, the one of Western horoscopes), with the place's historical time zone. Your date, time and place are used for the computation and then forgotten: neither stored nor logged. The place name is sent to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) to find its coordinates. Your last entry stays in this browser only, so you need not type it again. Like the rest of the site, a symbolic reading, not a prediction.
