The Big 3: Sun, Moon & Rising
The Sun
Ego. Life Vitality. Individualism.
One’s ego shines bright by the sun’s placement. The “King of Planets” is the chief of self-expression. Your sun sign is determined based on the day you are born. Your sun sign revolves around your basic personality and goals you'd like to achieve. How you interact and communicate with others and with yourself, will always lead back to your sun sign, as it is the most reflective sign in your big three.
The Moon
Emotions. Soul World. Inner Realm.
The watery body of the moon ‘nurture’ ourselves in need of intimacy and fulfillment. Your moon sign is based most on your feelings and how you connect, rather than communicate. Your moon sign is your “feeling,” how you act, reflecting on your actions and the people you surround yourself with. It is the key to unlocking your purest emotions inside.

The Wet Ascendant ~ Rising
Behaviors. Life Path. Outer Persona.
We live out loud in this powerful house. Meeting the world in bravery, style, and zest. The Ascendant (ASC) is an angle located in the 1st House of a Natal Chart. It’s one of the four angles (ASC, IC, DSC, and MC) and is quite powerful. Furthermore, the ASC determines the layout of our chart, so an accurate birth time is crucial for all astrologers and folks wishing to learn more about their chart. Your astrological sign rose on the eastern horizon of your sun sign, when you were born. It’s the helm of your chart, coloring your outward personality based on the sign’s traits.
