The traditional western astrology uses twelve signs, so-called zodiac signs. The year is divided into twelve sections, spans of time, and in each span of time is a predominant sign. 

The rising sign is the second most of a horoscope. Like zodiac signs, there are 12 different rising sings. We explain the meaning of each ascendant here. 

The third essential element in an individual horoscope is the Moon. It is the sign of the zodiac in which the moon stood at the time of birth.
