Unlike your Moon sign, your Ascendant or Rising sign, is more or less the attitude you put forth into the world. This is the “mask” you present to others upon first meeting. When people say first impressions matter, that means your Rising sign is essential. To find your Rising sign, you’ll need to know your exact time of birth. This is because the Rising sign is the astrological sign that was on the eastern horizon (or the Ascendant) at the time of your birth. It often changes, so being even a little off in timing can give you a different sign. Luckily, there are free natal chart calculators to help you determine your Rising sign. So grab that birth certificate and get to computing!
What it means to have Libra Rising as your Ascendant sign
Libra is an air sign, so if you have Libra as your Rising sign, you are often seen as the communicator or peacemaker. Finding harmony is of great importance to Libra Risings. Since Libra’s ruling planet is Venus, the planet of love and harmony, Libra Risings care a lot about their relationships with other people. They are also drawn to beauty and balance. Libra Rising tends to focus more on uniting opposites rather than finding independence. They desire partnership and connection above all.
