The twelve signs do not take the same amount of time to pass the eastern horizon because the Earth’s axis is tilted relative to the ecliptic (see axial tilt). There is relatively little difference around the equator (Pisces, Aries, Virgo, and Libra take somewhat less time than the other signs), but as one proceeds away from the equator, the discrepancies become more and larger.
In the northern hemisphere, the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, and Gemini pass the eastern horizon in much less time than the theoretical two hours, whilst Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius take much longer. At the latitude of Paris, France, for example:
- The length of ascension, or simply the sign’s ascension, takes only one hour for Pisces and Aries to pass the eastern horizon.
These discrepancies become considerably more pronounced at higher latitudes. At St. Petersburg, Russia’s latitude:
Differences in the rate at which the signs climb are considered significant by astrologers. Because these signs appear to be significantly smaller from the perspective of a northern hemisphere observer, houses covering Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus can become very large in many house systems.
Some astrologers, such as Richard Nolle, believe that the preponderance of Ascendants in the western signs (Capricorn through Sagittarius) is symbolic of the highly relationship-oriented character inherent in a complex or civilized society as found today in the northern hemisphere but never developed in equatorial or south temperate latitudes where eastern (Capricorn through Gemini), individual-oriented Ascendants are equally or more common.
Long and short ascension are inverted in the southern hemisphere. For example, in Concepcin, Chile’s latitude:

What time are rising signs?
Then we get to the final piece of the big three puzzle drum roll, please! Because it determines where your natal chart begins, your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is incredibly essential in your birth chart. It’ll be the line at the 9 a.m. position of the circle if you’re searching for it on your chart. This Rising Sign is related to your First House, which is concerned with how others view you and how you connect with the outside world.
Knowing your time of birth (together with your place, date, and year) is essential for determining your Rising sign since it tells which zodiac sign the Sun was rising in on the eastern horizon. We say in esoteric astrology that the time you took your first breath was the moment you became you and your soul entered your body. Isn’t that interesting? My mind has been blown.
So, basically, think of your Rising sign as the mask you wear with the world. It typically reveals information about your own style, appearance, and even how you partner and interact with others. That’s why, if your Sun sign isn’t quite describing your personality as effectively as you’d want, it’s extremely probable that your Rising sign is taking center stage! Our Rising signs are highly strong, frequently revealing the patterns we are now experiencing.
That is why, in all horoscopes, I always advise you to read for both your Sun and Rising signs, as they will disclose the predictions and path you are on when read together.

How do I find out my Big 3?
Growing up, you were undoubtedly asked what your zodiac sign was a few times. Perhaps you recognized yourself in the description, or perhaps it didn’t feel quite right.
