Understanding of zodiac sign

First, let us dive into the understanding of how you should be checking a zodiac sign. When you were born, or the moment you were born, the stars in the sky were in a specific and unique position. There are precisely 12 planets which are present in your horoscope, and each gives insight into your personality. So if you want to know about a person’s personality through zodiac signs, 

You should focus on the Big 3 in their horoscope. You might have exclaimed, “what are the big three now!” in your head. 

What are the Big 3 in the Birth Chart?

• The sun sign
• The rising sign/ascendant 
• The moon sign 

The sun sign in the birth chart tells you about a person’s fundamental personality. It tells you about a person’s most dominant, noticeable and consistent traits. To make you understand it better, the sun sign basically tells you about how a person perceives the world. 

The rising sign, also often referred to as the ascendant, tells you about how a person presents themselves to the world. This ascendant sign is what people notice the first thing in you. It can also refer to the facade you show to people. The main contrast between the sun sign and rising is that while the sun sign tells you how a person perceives the world, the rising tells how the world perceives you.

Lastly, the moon sign tells you about the person’s emotional approach and how they are with their emotions. What they actually are underneath the mask they show to the world. Basically, it reveals the reality of the person. It reveals what the person really desires from his/her life and what their yearnings are.

Example 

Once you get an idea of these three signs, you will be able to completely understand and decipher whether or not the other is a good match for you or not. To do so, you will have to check in which zodiac each sign is residing. Let us take a hypothetical situation. 

Suppose your sun sign is libra, the rising sign is scorpio and the moon sign is Pisces. 

With your sun sign being in Libra, you are a natural charmer. As Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, this person is a passionate lover. The rising sign in Scorpio tells us again that you have a potent charm in your personality. A scorpion ascendant is also very adventurous and loves to take a risk. Did you know that the Scorpio ascendant is one of the strongest positioning in horoscopes?

The Moon sign in Pisces tells us that you are very emotional. You have great intuition, and you also have empathy in you. This situation tells us that this person has a desire for deep love and strong relationships. They love taking risks and love going on adventures. They also do well in the emotional realm as they are always in touch with their emotions. 

Now keeping these traits in mind, you might want to date or marry someone with signs complimenting you and not opposing you. Sure enough, you would not want to date or marry a person who does not like adventures, is not a big fan of taking risks, does not know how to be open with their emotions and is wholly numbed out to love.
