Understanding the Big 3

Everyone has 3 astrological signs (also known as the big 3): sun, moon, and rising. More often than not, when someone says they’re a “__ sign,” they’re referring to their sun sign. So, why do the 3 matter, and what do they say about you? To put it simply, you’re more than just one sign—you’re a complex human being, after all! The big 3 compile your most important inner and outer traits to help you understand your personality.

Your sun sign represents your ego and motivations. This sign describes your overall attitude and spirit. Some people believe that it also represents your purpose in life, or you at your best. To most people, the sun sign is the most important placement on your astrological birth chart.

Your moon sign determines your inner emotional nature. This sign represents the part of yourself you don’t always show. Think of it as the deepest, most personal part of yourself. You only display this part of your personality to those you trust.

Your rising sign shows how you present yourself to others. This sign is what everyone sees you as—it’s how you act on a daily basis. Think of it like the mask you wear in public. The rising or ascendant sign governs how you carry yourself, process information, and connect with others.

For instance, let’s say your natal or birth chart identifies you as an Aries sun, Capricorn moon, and Cancer rising. As a Cancer rising, you’ll come off to others as extremely sensitive and sweet. As an Aries sun, you’d probably feel like your goal in life is to be a passionate, energetic leader. As a Capricorn moon, you might have a deep-seated desire to improve yourself and to stay internally calm and stable.
