Rising signs are so important! In fact, you do better
reading for them than for your sunsign. The rising is the zodiacal sign rising
on the Eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It changes every few hours all
day so you need a stargazer and exact birth hour to calculate them. If you
don't have a true birth hour, bottom of this article has way to get it.
I feel that risings are so pervasively important that I
do free daily / hourly star predictions based on yours. You can see this at GET THE DAILIES……Before
you read this article, try to GUESS what yours is just by analyzing how you
are, look, act. But you have to inspect them all to decide which fits you to a
T. That is called 'rectifying'. So while you're waiting for your hometown
registrar to answer, play this game. Understanding the rules of the game, let's
play "YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR RISING SIGN IF---"
