Frequently Asked Questions

What is my rising sign?

Your Rising sign (Ascendant) is the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at your birth. It requires your exact birth time and place. Generate your free natal chart to find it.

Why does my rising sign matter for 2026 transits?

Your Rising sign sets your house cusps. When Uranus enters Gemini, it activates the house where your chart has Gemini — and that's different for every Rising sign. Same for Jupiter in Leo, the Nodes, and eclipses.

Can I use this without my birth time?

No. Your Rising sign changes roughly every 2 hours. Without birth time, you won't know which houses the transits activate. Use Sun sign as a general guide only.
