    Unlike your Sun sign, which relates to your core personality, and your Moon sign, which relates to your inner thoughts and feelings , your Rising sign is all about how you appear on the surface. [3] Your Rising sign defines how you present yourself to the people around you, as well as the impression you leave on others. [4]
    • Let’s say you meet your new co-worker for the first time and find them to be really social and friendly. The perception you just made is related to their Rising sign!
    • Your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs all play an important role in helping you understand your personality. For example, a Leo Sun individual won’t not embody the stereotypical Leo traits if they’re a Cancer Moon and a Virgo Rising.
