Astrology – Rising/Ascendant Sign – Cheetsheet
Like the Moon sign, its not so easy to calculate the Rising/Ascendant and its calculated based on which sign was on the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born. This changes approx. every 2 hours
- Sun sign – changes approx each month
- Moon sign – changes approx every 2-2.5 days
- Ascending/Rising – changes approx every 2 hours.
As mentioned in my previous post I used Next Astrology to calculate mine. Astrology Cafe comes highly recommended, but I personally ran into constant errors and license warnings every time I tried to use it — but your experience may be different.
