Unfortunately, this is not the most accurate way of finding
out what your rising sign is. There are other factors that have to be taken into
consideration. A persons rising sign is determined by the sign of the Zodiac that
was coming up over the eastern horizon at the exact moment of their birth. The
rising sign will change approximately every two hours. The key word here is "approximately".
Your birth sign is easy to find because it is determined by the position of the
Sun at your time of birth, and the Sun takes one month to go through each sign
of the Zodiac. On the other hand, the rising sign will change as the Earth rotates,
and as we all know, the Earth makes a full rotation in a 24 hour period. Another
problem we run into is the fact that the Earth is not perfectly round, thus changing
the horizon itself depending on the longitude and latitude of the place of birth.
It would be impossible for me to be exact as far as your rising sign is concerned
without the knowledge of the exact time of birth and the longitude and latitude
of the place of your birth. One way to get around this problem would be to have
a personal birth chart made up. Another way would be to read the signs that are
just before and just after your time of birth. This will cover a larger time span
and eliminate some of the factors mentioned above. If you find that one of the
signs matches your personality, there is a good chance that it is your rising
sign.
