The sun is associated with fatherhood, ego, destiny and our outward experience of the world. The Sun Your sun sign is your star sign! It represents your truest essence, identity and path in life. Once you know your rising sign itвЂ™s useful to read the horoscope for this sign as well as for your sun sign and youвЂ™ll often find it more accurate. YouвЂ™ll find your ascendant or rising sign on the cusp of the first house in your chart. The first five are known as the personal planets (these affect us on an individual level) Jupiter and Saturn are known as the social planets (revealing more about our connections to the world around us) and the latter three вЂ“ Uranus, Neptune and Pluto вЂ“ are known as generational or outer planets (these stay in each sign for longer and therefore tend to affect us on a collective or generational level).ДЄscendant This isnвЂ™t a ruling planet but itвЂ™s the anchor of your chart and reveals how you present yourself to the world вЂ“ your public self.

The Planets The ten main вЂruling planetsвЂ™ are The Sun, The Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. In short: Planet + Sign + House + Your Intuition = cosmic big reveals. Then you can make your own interpretations based on that info.

To decode the secrets of your birth chart youвЂ™ll need to understand the characteristics of the twelve zodiac signs, the associations and meanings of the ruling planets and what each of the twelve houses represent. By Annabelle Spranklen and Erika Smith Birth Chart 101
