How your rising sign is found
- Rising sign
- The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the minute and place you were born (the ascendant).
- Zodiac
- Tropical (Western) zodiac on the true ecliptic of the date — not the sidereal (Vedic) zodiac.
- Formula
- Local sidereal time for your city’s longitude and the true obliquity of the ecliptic (Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms, 2nd ed.).
- Positions
- astronomy-engine 2.1.19 (MIT licence), run in your browser. Checked against NASA JPL Horizons (DE441): the ten bodies in the example differ by at most 0.0013° (5″), and by at most 0.0042° (15″) across eight test charts from 1955 to 2021.
- Time zone
- The IANA time zone database in your browser, past daylight saving time included. The UTC offset is shown under the city and you can change it.
