The Sun, Moon & Rising Sign Work Together...
|
The sun, moon and rising sign,
not to mention everything else in your chart, work together. Focusing only the sun sign is certainly leaving out a lot. 
An Aries with a Cancer moon and Taurus rising is a completely different personality from an Aries with an Aquarius moon and Libra rising. But they are both Aries sun signs. Take the time to look up your moon and rising signs. Read the "Sign" descriptions for each of them. Then consider that each one of these is a huge contributor to your complete astrological composition. The surprisingly gentle Aries or shy Leo may have a Virgo moon. The lighthearted and complimentary Capricorn probably has a Libra moon or Leo rising. The sun, moon and rising sign together make up what we refer to as the Big 3. Don't leave any of them out when discussing a natal chart. They work together.

referring to when they speak of your "sign". It represents your personality.
|
It changes about every 21 to 24 days, so it is not in sync with the calendar months. It's the sign which comes into play the most in friendships, partnerships and casual associations. It describes our personality and the person we strive to be. We develop it throughout our lives. Although it has a great impact, it is has less impact than people generally attribute to it. It has become the focus of popular astrology only because it changes approximately once a month. You don't need to construct a chart in order to see what your sun sign is. It's easy to find, but it has a surface effect on the totality of "you". Rather than representing how you really feel inside, it's largely the part of you that other people notice and sense. It contributes largely to your style and the general impression you make on people. Because we like to make a good impression, the sun sign describes largely what we would "like" to be. We strive to be our sun sign.
