Ascendant & Moon sign

What do you say when someone asks you “Hey what’s your sign?”

Did you say Scorpio???

No…! That was just my beat guess since Scorpios are sooooo interested in Astrology… Anyway, whatever sign you said is most likely your “Sun sign”, The one you find out on the basis of your Date of Birth.

But you should know that your “Sun sign” is not enough to reveal your core personality and mentality. There are two more signs called the “Ascendent/Rising Sign” and your “Moon Sign”, that are considered very important in Vedic Astrology.  

You probably have already heard of them! But what do they really mean?

Let’s Decode the secrets behind Ascendent and Moon sign and uncover your true personality!

Ascendent/Rising Sign

The zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time you were born becomes your Ascendent sign. The ascendent sign keeps changing every 1.5 to 2 hours and therefore you will need your exact date of birth, time of birth and place to find it. Once you have created your birth chart, the sign present in your 1^st house will be your ascendent sign.

Vedic Astrology predictions are accurate because they are Ascendant & Moon Sign based. If you are not aware of your Ascendant & Moon Sign, FIND OUT INSTANTLY by filling your details below.

This sign has a major influence on your “social self”, i.e. the way you present yourself in front of the world and the way you choose to interact with others. This side of your personality could be totally contradicted by the person you are in private in some cases. The Ascendent sign also influences your physical appearance, the way you make your first impression and your overall attitude towards life.

Moon Sign

The zodiac sign in which the Moon was present during the time of your birth is your Moon sign. To track your Moon sign, just locate the position of Moon in your birth chart and note the sign it is placed in.

While your Ascendent sign talks about your outlook and social image, your Moon sign reveals your hidden identity that only your closest friends and family members know about. This identity of yours is your true self which could be completely contradictory with your social self. Your moon sign identity comprises of your emotions, subconscious reactions, past memories and genetic instincts. Understanding a person’s Moon sign will help you understand what truly comforts them and makes them feel at home.

Now let’s understand Ascendent sign and Moon sign with an example,

Following is the Birth chart of Robin Williams- Famous Actor and Comedian

His Ascendent sign is Libra since it is placed in his 1^st house.

Now as we all know that he had a charming personality and was super energetic, creative and hilarious in front of the public, which are classic Libra traits. Thanks to his creative talents, he was known for his instant improvising capabilities and energetic communication skills.

Being a Libra Ascendent, he was highly empathetic and had a people pleasing nature. He used to go out of his way to make people laugh, even at the cost of his own mental wellbeing. He always tried to maintain harmony and earn love and validation from others. Psychologically, he had a strong desire to be accepted or loved, which Williams freely acknowledged during several interviews. Through his multiple marriages and life struggles, he often portrayed emotional indecisiveness which confirms his Libra energy.

His Moon sign is Aquarius, since his Moon is placed in his 5^th house with Aquarius sign.

While Robin was excitingly vibrant on the outside, he was emotionally Intense, thoughtful and introverted on the inside. His friends and family often said that he was a very shy and introspective soul who used comedy as a way to cope with his inner storm and connect with people. He struggled with depression, addiction and loneliness because of his emotionally distant nature coming from Aquarius energy.

Being an Aquarian moon, he was completely unconventional in his skills and broke every stereotype with his spontaneity and rapid impressions.  He was also a humanitarian who supported disaster relief children’s healthcare and veterans. He showed genuine empathy beyond cameras and utilized his fame to support and uplift those in need.

Therefore, Robin Williams is a classic example of contradicting inner and outer nature because of the impact of Ascendant and Moon signs.
