Understanding your Big Three
Sun, Moon, and Rising — the three placements that shape how you show up in the world.
Your 'Big Three' are the most recognisable parts of your chart:
**Sun sign** — Your core identity, purpose, and vitality. When someone asks 'What's your sign?', this is what they mean.
**Moon sign** — Your emotional inner world. How you process feelings, what makes you feel safe, and what you need to feel nourished.
**Rising sign (Ascendant)** — The mask you wear. How others first perceive you, and the lens through which you approach new experiences.
Knowing all three gives you a much richer self-portrait than your Sun sign alone.
