The sun sign, also known as the zodiac sign or the astrological sign, is the sign in which the Sun was present at the time of one’s birth. Since the sun sign of a person is established based on the time and date of their birth, it does not change in their lifetime. Every person is characteristic of certain traits corresponding to their sun sign, ie, the sun sign influences one’s personality. A significant part of natal or birth chart, sun signs are one of the many yet powerful factors that describes a personality; as the symbol of ego, the Sun in the charts reflects one’s drive to be noticed. The Sun is indicative of the overall life’s purpose and the deepest sense of identity, and the luminary indicates the psychological bias that will dominate one’s actions.
The rising sign, on the other hand, is the sign that was rising on the Eastern horizon at the moment of one’s birth, and composes the outer personality and character traits of the individual. It is the outer shell of what lies underneath. While the Sun sign shows the ‘real self’, the rising sign is the ‘face’ or the ‘mask’ of a person.
Sun Signs have its significance when it comes to compatibility as well. Sun sign Compatibility indicates the kind of relationship one sun sign can establish with another. It is a linear connection that a sun sign of an individual forms with the sun sign of another, where both sun signs lie within the same element of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.
Sun signs are easy to calculate as the ecliptic of the Sun is fixed, and the Sun settles in each of the twelve houses of the zodiac for about a month, over the course of a year. The twelve sun signs are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
