Astrology is either an ancient science that explains how the sun, moon, and stars effect human behavior or it’s utter nonsense from people who believe the sky holds all the answers to their existential questions.
Regardless of where you stand in the debate, you cannot ignore the influence that astrology has over people.
By using a birth chart, people map out and pinpoint the exact position of celestial bodies throughout time, including your day and place of birth. Isn’t that fascination?
The Sun and Moon
To be a die-hard fan of astrology is to know that everything in the sky has meaning in some way.
With that said, the sun isn’t a raging fireball and the moon isn’t a giant space rock and neither are orbiting the Earth in an eternal chase like lost lovers. Instead, the sun and moon are storytellers who know you better than you know yourself. What’s more, all you have to do to find the answers you’re searching for is look up as the stars know all your secrets.
The Complex Nature of Astrology
However, studying astrology isn’t as simple as you think. In astrology, each celestial body offers a different perspective of your personality.
So what’s your zodiac sign? Well, the answer is much more complicated than just being an Aquarius. First, the answers you seek in astrology aren’t solely found among the stars. No, the sun and moon provide their own answers when searching to know your true self
The Powerful Shine of the Sun
What the sun represents in astrology is your identity. And who better to tell your identity than the brightest celestial body in our sky?
If you’re questioning who you are in the world then the sun is the oracle who holds the answer you seek. Isn’t it poetic in a sense? The sun expresses itself with its light and reveals everything it shines upon, including you, regardless if you’re hidden in the shadows.
The Bright Side of the Moon
Have you ever wondered why people turn loony during a full moon? Astrology says that the moon influences our behavior like the ocean tides.
Since moonlight protects you from the dark at nighttime, it should be no surprise that the moon represents your subconscious. The moon reveals the side of you that you keep hidden from others and even yourself. Likewise, the moon explains your emotions and why you feel them.
The Rising Sign, Ascendent
Finally, you have your rising sign, or the Ascendent, that balances your outer and inner world, as a representation of your social personality. Basically, your social personality is how you portray yourself to the world.
Unlike the sun and moon signs; you cannot find the rising sign by looking at the stars. In truth, you won’t find its location just by looking up, but also backward.
So, where can you find your rising sign? Simple. Find which zodiac sign was on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth and, there you have it, your rising sign.
