The Rising Sign is what determines the person's appearance... This is how others see you
before they get to know the 'real you'... The Planet that rules the 'Rising Sign' is considered
to be your Chart Ruler... This is the planet that affects your chart in the most
profound ways... Your chart ruler is Moon ... Pay close attention to
any 'aspect' that occurs to the Ruling Planet in both the Natal Chart or in any current Transits.
The ascendant, or rising sign, indicates how we make an entrance or come across, thus our
appearance and personality. It is that particular activity that others come to know as us,
our trademark, the way we appear or come on. It is what is fresh and new about us. The way
we express or present ourselves is indicated by the ascendant, which is said to be the most
personal point in the natal chart since it is dependent upon the time we were born. If we do
not know the birth time, then we do not know the ascendant. It is what makes us each so
personally different. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a
reaction from our surroundings or others.
