The Sun Sign Moon Sign and Rising Sign
Rising Signs Meaning
Rising sign — Known as your Ascendant in Horoscope — also known as Lagna. This is represented as 1st house in horoscopes. Let’s see what this is in this post.
The cross lines drawn by us to identify a place on our earth are the equator, Meridians, the latitude, and the longitude. It is with all of these that we most accurately identify the point of the earth. Similarly, the zodiac is imaginatively orbiting the earth on which we live.
When a person is born on earth, any zodiac sign that rises on the eastern horizon is called his Rising Sign or Ascendant.
The imaginary Zodiac is from Aries to Pisces, which has six zodiac signs from the lower horizon to the Western horizon. Similarly, there will be six Zodiac Signs at the base of the earth from the upper horizon. These are the wheels that keep spinning. So the top six zodiac signs going down and the bottom six zodiac signs going up will happen 24 hours a day. This is what Vedic astrology refers to as 60 “Naligai” (60 Naligai = 24 hours)
A lot of calculations are needed to predict this sign and the sunrise for the place where we are predicting is very important. This takes a long time. But in modern times computers do this job very quickly. Let’s see the Sun Sign and Moon Sign below.
