About Signs

The 12 Ascendant signs make up the zodiac, the cosmic clock. They are a great introduction to astrology and can help you gain understanding and insight into yourself and other people.

In the map of the heavens when you were born, your Ascendant sign (also known as your rising sign) is determined by the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time of your birth. Unlike Sun signs, which are based on the position of the Sun and repeat every year, Ascendant signs change approximately every two hours throughout the day, making the time and place of birth crucial to determine the Ascendant.
