Updated Date : मंगलवार, 09 जनवरी, 2024 09:36 पूर्वाह्न

Sun, Moon and Rising Sign are different from each other?

Yes, they are definitely different from each other.

Let us brief you about all the three signs separately.

Difference between the Sun sign, Moon sign and the Rising Sign.

You can see a clear difference between Sun sign, Moon sign and Rising sign as per below explanation. 

If you look for the ascendant vs Moon sign separately then it would show you that the ascendant sign is more like your body, as to who you become with your soul and mind within you. The Moon sign is your spirit element, your soul & your consciousness.

  • The zodiac houses are all far away from each other in the Universal matrix and it takes a month for the Sun to change its alignment from one constellation to the other. 
  • The Moon travels faster and can cover more than one constellation in a day, if you draw a straight line between the Moon and the constellations.
  • The Ascendant Sign is the rising Sun, the first sign in your first house during your birth.

The Sun, Moon rising symbols are given below for your reference. These Sun, Moon rising symbols are the symbolic representation of each of the 12 zodiac signs and planetary bodies. The Sun, Moon rising symbols are provided with the glyphs for you to refer to the 12 zodiac signs.

Sun sign

Sun Sign can be defined as the position of the Sun during the birth of the child.

The Sun stays in each House for a month, thereby jumping to another house almost at the end of that month. 

Moon Sign

Where the Moon was, during the birth of the child. Owing to its small size, the Moon is able to cover more constellations in a day. The Moon is mobile and moves from one house to the other faster.

Ascendant Sign

The first house or the ascendant sign is the easternmost house when a 360 degree circle is drawn. For example if your easternmost house during your birth faces the Libra constellation, then your ascendant sign is Libra. In this case with Libra, Venus rules your first house in this case.

The difference between the Sun sign, Moon sign and the Rising Sign is quite remarkable.
