Rising Signs

As we learnt in the last book, your rising sign is the sign your first house is in. It can tell us about you physical incarnation, and is what we should address when talking about horoscopes. The rising sign can be affected by a multitude of different things but mainly what planets are in it. Rising signs may also be known as ascendants. A rising sign does not have exaltations, falls and exiles.
