The Nature of Your Ascendant Path
"Life is a journey, not a destination" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Rising Sign is the sign that was on the Eastern Sunrise at the moment of your birth. It is also referred to as the Ascendant, and represents the doorway or filter through which all the other influences of the Natal chart are expressed. This is typically the energy we experience when we meet someone for the first time and how you will be seen by others upon a first meeting.
The Rising Sign can also indicate the Soul's path and the life purpose and direction we are called upon to travel. So understanding our Rising sign can help us express ourselves more authentically and with more confidence as we learn to embrace and pioneer the chosen path we are meant to walk in this life.
Below you can read an introduction to your Rising Sign expression as well as gain additional insight on your Soul's potential path toward wholeness.

Putting it all together
Once you read both your Sun, Moon and Rising signs, sit in quiet contemplation and perhaps with a journal. Ask yourself and take note about what sensitivities resonate and which do not.
When you read your horoscope, always take into account your personal Moon nature, because this can certainly influence how any current energies play out for you specifically.
