Hi Venus,
Although I know this, I thought the quickest and most thorough way to explain it would be to copy and paste from an expert, lol . . in other words I cheated. :x
What the Rising Sign means
The Ascendant is another name for the cusp of the first house. It marks the part of the Zodiac that is rising, or directly on the Eastern horizon, at the time of your birth. That?s why the sign of the Ascendant it is also called the rising sign.
The sign of the Ascendant describes:
the way you get things done
your mannerisms
your appearance
the side of you that you put forth when you are trying to make a good impression
It is at least as important as the Sun in your chart.
If you're unsure about what sign you're ascendant is in, send me a message with your birth time and place and I will find out for you.
