Your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign ✨

Understand your astrological Big Three.

Welcome to another session of Stargayzer School!

For today’s paid post, I’m exploring the difference between your Sun, Moon, and rising sign, aka your astrological “Big Three.” Or your SMR, if you’re feeling cool.

Use a birth chart generator to pull up yours, but be warned, you’ll need your exact time of birth to accurately calculate your rising sign.

Your Sun Sign

In astrology, your natal Sun sign is whatever zodiac sign the Sun occupied on the day you were born. Each zodiacal “season” lasts about a month, so you probably have the same Sun sign as anyone born within a few weeks of your birthday. It’s the birth chart placement most people are familiar with — if someone asks for your zodiac sign, it’s safe to assume they’re referring to your Sun sign.
