Rising Sign Calculator

Your rising sign is the sign rising in the east at your birth. It changes roughly every two hours. Western astrology links it to first impressions and uses it to start the chart.

Your Sun sign comes from the Sun's birth position. Your rising sign comes from the eastern horizon at birth. The Sun changes signs monthly; the rising sign changes roughly every two hours.

Both set the eastern horizon at birth. A 10–15 minute error can change the sign near a boundary. Your exact position shows how close you are to that boundary.

Western signs follow seasons; Vedic signs follow stars. Their starting points are roughly 24° apart. Use the Vedic rising sign tool (Lagna Calculator).

Each sign has a ruling planet. Astrologers check its sign, life area and strength when reading the full chart. This tool names the planet; the Birth Chart Calculator shows the rest.
