Your Rising Sign, also called the Ascendant or Lagna in Vedic astrology, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It changes approximately every two hours, making birth time crucial for an accurate calculation.
While your Sun sign represents your core identity and your Moon sign reveals your emotions, your Rising sign acts as the “mask” you wear in public. It influences your physical appearance, first impressions, and how you naturally approach new situations.
In Vedic astrology, the Lagna is considered the most important point in a birth chart as it determines the arrangement of all 12 houses and forms the foundation for predictions about career, relationships, and life events.
