The Sun represents our face to the word, what we radiate, what some people might call the ego or identity. This is what most people think is their “sign,” but it represents only a small part of our energies and how people experience us and how we experience them and relate to the world. We are much more than just our Sun sign.

Our Moon represents our inner thoughts or mind. The Moon is one of our most influential energies in our natal chart and undergoes many influences that affect us deeply and change almost daily.

The Ascendant is the way we engage, our interface with the world. It is what we are like when we engage and learn, and for this reason, it is often what people consider our personality. It is usually the first energetic impression we give. If the Sun is our face, the Ascendant is the countenance, the expressions with which we greet others, the world, and new information.
