When chatting with your friends who are into astrology, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed by the amount of astrology talk getting thrown your way. Since having helpful astrological peers and elders was essential for growth, let's explore how to interpret three of the most important placements in your astrological chart.
Accessing Your Birth Chart
The first step to accessing your birth chart is to enter your birthdate, birth location and birth time into a chart generator like Cafe Astrology. This site generates your birth chart. To learn your rising sign, you’ll need to know the exact time of your birth. Don’t be stunned by all the planet names and symbols-just look for your sun sign, moon sign, and rising (or ascendant) sign.
Understanding the Signs
Your sun, moon, and rising sign will all fall into one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each of the signs has a specific energy or vibe, and when a planet and sign combine, they help form our character. With these three natal chart aspects, you can unlock a whole new level of self-understanding.

The Sun Sign
The Sun embodies your whole self and who you are in general. If someone were to broadly sum up your personality, they would capture the essence of your Sun sign.
The Moon Sign
The Moon is a representation of your emotional self and is a good indicator of how we act when we’re feeling emotionally stimulated in any capacity (good or bad). Your moon sign also plays a role in your “shadow” side, which presents itself when you’re feeling disempowered.

The Rising Sign
Your rising sign is the zodiac sign that was ascending on the horizon at the time of your birth-it’s not a planet, but rather a broad cosmic movement. Your rising sign is your projected self; the one you send out into the world. In essence, it’s your first impression!
Interactions and Balance
The way all three of your signs interact and balance one another out says a lot about your personality. If you’re a Gemini sun, Pisces moon and Capricorn rising, you might present as cold and calculating, when you’re actually the mercurial kind with a dreamy, tender personality. If you’ve got a Cancer sun, Aries moon and Taurus rising, you might come off as materialistic and sleepy when you’re secretly a groovy combination of intuitive and fiery.
