Hi DICO,
Your rising star basically describes the initial perception you give off to other people. It was the sign "rising" into the position of the sun on the day you were born. For example, if you are a leo, that means that you are generous and caring and boisterous and magnetic (to list the good qualities). But if you have a virgo rising, you come off as reserved, guiet and cautious.
Your Moon, ruler of Cancer (Home and family)describes the feeling side of your emotional self. It describes how you relate to others, your emotions and how they play out within your personality. Your passions, feelings and intuitions are all components of your moon sign.
Mars, ruler of Aries (Initiation) describes the kinds of energy you posses, and how you go about attaining some of your life goals. E.g., if your mars is in cancer, you approach life with nuture and feelings, if it's in leo, you approach life with persistence and strong will and determination.
Venus describes your acquired tastes for beauty, luxury and material things. This planet is the ruler of Libra (Partnerships) and TaurUs (Money) and plays into the role of relationships, and the kinds of partners you are attracted to. It also plays a role in monetary gain and success.
cafeastrology.com has descriptions of what the planets mean in certain signs. You can also do your birthchart to find out where the signs were, on the day you were born...this chart will describe your personality...why you are the way you are. However, in order to find out your rising sign, and the accurate moon sign, you will need to know your exact time and place of birth. Good Luck!
