What is Your Rising Sign in Astrology? 

I always disliked when people described it as “a mask.” It’s so much more than that. Thank you for this video. As a Scorpio rising, Aquarius Sun, and Taurus Moon, I have a ton of square and oppositional energy. I’m definitely in tune and probably relate most to my Scorpio rising.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DEAR CAM!!!!! YOU ARE AT YOUR BEST TODAY!!!!

I love this content format Cam! Keep bringing it. ❤️🙏🏼😊

The older I get the more I relate with my aquarius rising. 👽

Great video, you rocked the knowledge and explained very well!

i would love to see a video on your favorite book recommendations!! thank u for this :) happy solar return ♌️🎈

I always look forward to your videos. Thx, Cam!

Happy birthday Cam! Can't wait for part 2! Do I sense a rising series in the making hehehehe

Thanks! Very helpful Cam

Great video Cam! Definitely should to be brought into a series 😊

These example charts really drive the point home. Awesome explainer Cam; I’ve been into astrology for almost 10 years now and I still learned from this. 🥳

This was so good!! Thank you Cam

happy birthday!!!

I have Scorpio 1st house, including my Pluto ruler and Black Moon Lilith, illuminated by a Grand Trine Pisces Mars in 5th and Cancer Jupiter in 9th. It runs very deep, very mystical, dreamy, dark, intense, expansive, it packs a punch 😂 It complements very well my Capricorn stellium + Moon in 3rd. All this to say, I’m a Taurus Sun conjunct Mercury in 7th, YES to the being very Venusian in my relationships but dear god it is not the most significant energy in my chart. Understanding this helped me integrate so many aspects of my shadow and embracing the unique blueprint of the energy I give off. I like to say, the rising sign is the highest version of yourself. It comes later on in life as you ascend. 💜🖤🤍

I love this video, and the approach. When I discovered what rising sign really is, I stopped introducing myself with the Sun sign. I am Leo rising, and I relate to this sign way more than anything in my chart, this is 1000000% me. My Sun is in Capricorn, and I definitely see Capricorn traits as something that I value or hold of high regard as some type of ideal, this is a lot of what I am aware of as well - boundaries, responsibility, stamina. But this is not my pesonality at all

Brilliant cam💖💖💖🙏🇬🇧hope there is gonna be more of this....very insightful thanks🌞

Love your explanation. Easy understanding.

Happy Birthday Cam White! 🥳🥳🥳

Cam!! Love the info about regulus. Would you ever do a video about the other important fixed stars, PLEASE?❤ much love from another Leo 🏵

I had to get my birth chart rectified. Something intuitively told me that my birth time was wrong, plus there were typos on my birth certificate. Went from a 1° Virgo rising to a 22° Cancer rising, born 3 hours earlier. Now all of my transits make sense, my birth chart fits, definitely more than a mask. I’ve seen how actual events related to childbirth/motherhood difficulties have played out and completely changed my life, especially with my moon in Capricorn. Literally almost died giving birth to my 2nd child.

Happy Birthday Cameron!! ❤️‍🔥

Well with me there is no difference ....we all have a 1 in 12 chance that our Sun and Rising is the same.....I'm a Gemini Sun, Gemini Rising and Gemini Mercury....all the 1st House.....and my Moon in Virgo.....So a whole lot of Mercury there, and people have said that I'm Genuine, What you see and hear is what you get! I like that, to me it's a complement!

My Leo Rising is ruled by an Aquarius Sun. Lmao I do relate to Leo Rising for sure, and how I used to seek to be important to others. Ending up learning through others more about myself. Jupiter Rx in first house. I have a Stellium in Aqua, though, so I heavily resonate there, too.

both my sun and rising are in scorpio also have scorpio & sun in the 12th.. pluto in the 1st too lol 🥲🥲🥲 call me a scorpion 🦂 lol

Can you do a video sometime diacussing the most powerful stars and any we should be looking at in our birth charts? Appreciate your work and really enjoy your videos!

This video on the Ascendant is one of the best I have seen. I am a Sagittarius rising and I always relate more to Jupiter in Scorpio. It Trines my Sun in Pisces and I also have the Moon in Sagittarius in the 1st house. But, Mars is the Ego (the character you play) The Sun is ones authentic Self. The Big 3 to me Is The ruler of your rising, your Sun, and Mars.

Amazing information and video

Thought you’d covered this already. Either way, good video.

LOVED this video. I am Sag Sun, Aquarius Ascendent, Cancer moon. I definitely identify with the Sag in a lot of ways, and since learning about the whole rising sign thing a few years ago it just added so much. Yes I definitely identify with Aquarius as well. I find a lot of similarities and what’s different seems to compliment. Cancer moon was great for homeschooling my kids. 😂 It’s now time for me, I’m 58 years old and feel like my life has just begun. I feel big things coming my way. Love my life!! 💖🦋💖

Happy Birthday! I personally relate more to being an Aries (Sun) but I do use my Gemini (ASC) communication/networking as a tool or apart of the strategy. My natal Mercury is in Pisces so things like diving into the Matrix are normal, lol. My lived understanding is the ASC is more than the mask, it is the whole outfit. The Moon is like what you feel, the Sun is like the headspace, intention but the ASC is your outfit and mirror. It is how others see you on the surface.

Love this teachable format, Cam, my Leo brother :)

Happy birthday!! 🥰

Happy Birthday Guy!!! 🎉💥🔥

i'm a libra rising with a sun in leo and i've got the moon and venus conjunct in libra while mars is conjunct my sun with just a degree separating them 😅 i've definitely seen how both manifest in my life. i'm into visual arts and all the sports and physical activity i've shown interest in are more "solo" performance arts which make things look easy but in fact are super metal, namely stuff like ballet and figure skating. i think it really shows the libra-leo energy especially with mars thrown into the mix. i always want to make shit look pretty in an extra way that would put any competitors to shame but not so much that it would be cringe-ly overbearing. also doesn't help that jupiter is hanging out in leo 🙃

Yes! I have the sun in Cancer. My ascendant is Aquarius. The ruler of Aquarius is Saturn. I have Saturn in Scorpio. I take everything seriously!!! Safety and security are very important to me. Thanks, Cam!

Loved this video! Looking forward to the next😊 Yes totally relate more to my rising. Im a libra rising and taurus sun. I feel I am verry Venus-ruled though. My venus is in the 6th house.

Oh and happy birthday! 😊

Scorpio rising / capricorn sun / aquarius moon, here. Honestly? I feel connected to those three pretty evenly most of the time. I love dressing in black and red and wearing leather jackets and boots. I tend to be a bit of a loner yet I still have many friends. I love music and singing, and my favorite artists are black veil brides, asking alexandria, emma blackery, faun, heilung, the pretty reckless, and so on. I have a number of long distance friendships and in person friendships. The line between friend and lover can get blurry with me, and i like things unconventional, but on my terms. All this said, I have a career in accounting and i like the stability of a 9-5 office job, so long as i can have enough time to play on the weekends. If you ask me, I think the picture i painted in this comment really shows my scorpio/capricorn/aquarius-ness pretty well.

Have a similar chart shape to Kim and was very helpful.

Love this! Thanks for making it understandable. I'm Capricorn rising. I've heard we look like we age backwards. I'm also small in stature. Ruler of Asc.,Saturn in Aquarius.

You have a real gift for teaching.

OMG, Cam!!! You are doing the astro god's work! I wish I had something like this 5+ years ago. I didn't click with my Gemini rising like I do now until I learned about Mercury in 2017, and now I'm a Mercury stan.

This shit slapsss thank you Cam

♈ rising and Aries ♈ sun here . I am super energetic and let nothing defeat me ! People often mistake me for being rude or snobby ,because I am straight forward and say what's on my mind .

I love this discussion of the asc. In my studies, I found it compelling that my rising at 7° Leo is the fixed star Praesaepe. One of the attributes of that star indicates blindness of the left eye, and while I am not blind per se, I have always had very poor eyesight out of the left eye, while my right eye is nearly perfect vision. Pretty crazy right?? Since I fell in love with studying astrology, I have to say that it is easy to look at people and spot physical characteristics that do truly point to their rising sign. Fascinating stuff. Leo rising always has the hair, the mane of the lion, we are vane about our hair... every rising sign has those certain things. Love this Cam.

This is a cool video. 😎 thank you!

Rising🌅: what you are ( The actual you). Sun☀️: what you want your life to be like ( the way you want to be seen by the world). Moon🌙: how your emotions are.

Hey cam, I'm really interested to watch the second part of this but I can't find it! Can you help?

Where can I find the second part?

This sucks when u have no idea what time u were born

I have Cancer rising at 29 degree. I have sun, mercury, Venus and chiron in Leo. As I'm getting older there is a contradiction I'm becoming aware of between the two energies regarding what I need on an energetic level. Part of me wants to remain inward, stay at home, do things that provide healing to myself and those I care about VS spending time with friends, being loud, expressing myself outwardly. I realized that during cancer season where often I create my own feelings of imbalance simply by being extroverted in a moment when I needed to pause and go within and vice versa. Not sure if this makes sense but I'm realizing I need to cherish having my ascendant at this degree of cancer vs overfocusing on my leo energy. I relate, however the integration of the boundaries and softness of this water element is becoming crucial in me feeling safe, calm and whole. I also have my moon in libra in the 4th house , so I feel this emphasizes the need to pay attention to the energy of the moon in my life.

Thank you for the video! Cam what would you say to someone who does relate to their rising sign characteristics, but doesn't relate to their rising sign horoscopes? I'm a Sag sun, Cancer rising (Pisces moon) and Cancer horoscopes kinda resonate for me, sometimes not at all, but Sag's is always spot on crazy accurate.

Thank you 💚

Happy Birthday 🎂🥳

this is a whole new world

Thanks.. I have a very close Moon Regulus conjunction in the birth chart.. ❤

In your Part Two Video, Are you going to mention the importance of the Planets in your first House? Also, the Aspects towards the Ascendant like having Planets Conjunct/Opposite/Square the Ascendant make a big impact on how the Individual is seen imo. You could act like a different planet everyday or every Min depending on the aspects.

Happy Birthday dude ! I have to say I get really peeved when people tell me that the Sun sign isn’t relevant. I resonate a lot with My Aquarius Sun and I’m happy with that. That being said - I do recognise my Leo Asc and I love it. 🤣🤩🤣

I’m a Virgo Sun and a Gemini Rising (Moon in Libra) - and sometimes when I listen to my sun and rising readings, it’s like going on in tandem.

Can you talk about having the same sun and rising in the next video and a good example chart for understand that? I have sun at early degrees of cap but asc at later… should I look into decans to understand the nuances better?

i love that thumbnail so much oh lmao also happy birthday my fave leo...

I’m a Scorpio sun taurus moon born in Moselle France 2 degrees 10 Libra rising… I immigrated to Sydney Australia and have lived here for more 50yrs… I was recently told that in my relocated chart the rising sign changed and strengthens the longer you stay in one place… in my case it’s become Pisces rising in the exact same degree as my birth Libra rising sign. Should I be using my birth rising or my relocated rising because I resonate with both

happy bday to a fellow sag rising! 🙌

Libra rising. Happy birthday to you Cam!

Do the moon placement next.

This is awesome! I really relate to my rising sign. Aries. What does Aries rising in the first house mean? I have mars in the Taurus, 2nd house.

Relate far more to my rising! How can I see the stars on my chart? Is there a website that does this you can point me to?

Did you ever make the second video

Love this

Looks like I am at the right place in the now time of 6/21/23. This is the track I have gravitated to in trying to discern what seems to be off in the birth chart. Capricorn ascending Taurus sun Aries moon Taurus mercury Aries Virgo. Had a reading in a budget site and sounds great. Yet in reality I think not so much. Something is in the mist out there. And I intend to resolve it. Thanks for your youthful views. I'm 70 and it's been a long road to tow.🙏🧢🌽🐂🐏🐂🐏

happy birthday king

Gemini rising, Capricorn sun, Scorpio moon What people see and who I am on the inside is very different but that doesn't make me think my Gemini rising is a mask. I do need time to myself but I still enjoy talking to people and I want to be friendly. Also, how I use social media is very Gemini😂

Speaking of ascendants conjunct stars, I’ve got a Taurus ascendant conjunct Algol. Over the years I’ve gotten a variety of opinions on what that might mean, and not much of it is positive. Cam, what’s your thought about this combination?

The Sun is a point of focus, direction, action and tasks. For example when the Sun goes to Virgo (and I have observed and watched this over a few years, you can do it too with any planet, just apply soft focus) there is a focus and attention on going back to our daily routine, daily routine and all that comes with it, coming back to a daily flow, responsibility, work, and you can feel the hermity feel that Sun in Virgo has, the first 7 degrees of Virgo is also the Nakshtra Magha (from a Vedic perspective) it is an Ugra Nakshtra meaning it is a fierce or determined energy, and that’s exactly what happens at that time of the year, people trying to get that inner strength to go back to daily life, routine etc. So The Sun is that point of focus or activity (it is time for ..... , we are doing this ......) also a point of fixity, and stability in some sense.thats how I see the Sun and many other things also the Sun represents (not only what I mentioned) , and the ascendant is exactly how you described it. “Because it is the ascendant of the life of him with which his life arrives into the world , until he then goes out of the womb of his mother” this explains in some aspects why Mercury rejoices in the 1st house, Mercury is the messenger, he delivers life and send it from the underworld to the upper, visible world, it is like a delivery point where Mercury rejoices to deliver life (maybe the highest of Mercury’s missions) to deliver something from darkness to light, to reveal and make clear, visible and manifest, because after all Mercury is a planet that is mostly concerned with earthly matters and their understanding, because of the symbol of Mercury is like Venus’s symbol (the symbol of Venus with all its powers plus a parabolic reflecting antenna, like the Moon, denoting reflection and study of matter), also since Mercury is intellect and intelligence, and the one job of intellect and intelligence is to fulfill desires and solve problems, and the Ascendant is a make manifest point , it maybe denotes manifesting and steering your life in an intelligent way. obviously there are more to this and why Mercury rejoices in the 1st house, not only what I mentioned, astrology is so vast and deep, just wanted to share this with you 🙏. I love this format, making your content more dynamic and spicy.

I find as I age I step into different aspects of my chart. My venus Libra was me mostly as a kid. But adulthood after 20 stepped me into sun Scorpio expression. Now at 54 I am mostly my rising Capricorn and see little of my Scorpio side..hardly any. Maybe my moon Taurus will be my later very elder years.

Cancer rising with libra moon in 4th house. Definitely relate to cancer traits as much as libra sun.

with scorpio sun, moon in cancer i thin my gemini asc saves me from being a walking tidal wave of emotion. i read gemini for my horoscope as it places the transitting planets in their current placements. i so relate and enjoy my gemini influence

It's really true. Ascendant is very important and evident. I am a Pisces Sun but Taurus Ascendant. People often see me as a Quiet Lad but when I am angry that's another story. I talked a lot and I'm like the Taurus Sun Sign People when being angry. I am not too shy as my Pisces Sun Sign Personality fades away its shyness when I'm meeting new people. My Pisces Sun Sign energy makes me feeI always that I want changes in my life but my Taurus Ascendant energy made me feel that I don't need to change anything in my life including myself since Taurus is a Fixed Sign. So hell yeah, ASCENDANT makes a lot of sense.

I have Sag rising and Pisces Sun. So it’s possible that when I think the effect on my life is from a transit to my Sun is actually to my rising. I have Mars in the first house. Jupiter is ruling my chart from Cap in the 2nd. Other than the perspective and intuition piece - Pisces doesn’t really sound like me.

I've always related to my leo sun, I've only just discovered I'm a virgo rising... however my mercury is in leo and virgo is ruled by mercury That could probably explain why I still relate more to my leo sign (...but i do see my rising with how I visually present myself)

Drop part 2!!!

My rising and sun are both in Leo..I think there is a straight forward nature to this combo. Simple, cannot lie, transparency...window pane face to read easily .

Finding out that I had more than a sun sign & especially that it was the same as my Asc is what intrigued me into my Astrology journey. ✋to God I have always said I am this 👽 rebel with a cause with 2 souls stuck in 1 body before I even knew anything about Astrology. I bet y'all can guess my rising, sun, & moon just by that statement of myself... My natal literally helped me understand why I am so different than anyone I know & what my purpose is because of that ✨

my sun and ascendant is the same

I always feel exactly how my sun is described as a ( cusp?) Aquarius sun, January 22. But if I want to know why things are playing out the way they are and how to smooth them, I always relate to my Gemini ascendant. I also LIVE in indecision... which I was told is not unusual for a Gemini. So...in watching RU-vid astrology I lean towards my ascendant. I'm an artist so my Aquarius nature *hates* repetitive and tired design. Gemini caffeinates it 😂 Great vid Cam 👍

I think I have Saturn Conjunct Southnode. My rising sign is Scorpio. I have a stellium in the 12th house.

Hope you’re enjoying your birthday weekend! 🎉

Rising sign is a Prime Minister, Sun sign is a president and Moon sign is Home Affairs. All are important and all shape us.

Scorpio rising but have a stelium with my Sun in Sagittarius... Probably why I relate to my Gemini Moon the most... 👉😂

I am a Pisces rising 28 degree. I moved when I was five years old I wonder how it affects my ascendent. I feel that i am living out the Aries qualities? I wonder when it comes to understanding my rising when I listen to what is going to happen, I always resonate best with Aries rising. It’s a bit confusing? I would love your take on that. My birth rising. And my rising after relocating. Best regards Lisbeth

I'm a Scorpio Sun and a Capricorn rising. I relate more to my sun sign - it describes me perfectly. I'm not very sure about Capricorn, though. I have a birth certificate, but there is no time on it. I had to rely on my sister's memory, and she told me that it was around 10 am or 11 am (if I remember correctly), so I typed in 1030 to get my birth chart.

I would put it this way. Your rising sign sets up your basic chart meaning it gives your twelve basic traits. The chart is then modified by planetary placements.

Gemini 🌞 , Leo Rising. I relate to both, almost equally.

I always read for my ascendant.

Another point people from corresponding dates will be compatible with there constellation too. So the (1st) which is the Sun and the constellation is Leo

I've never heard of Regulus before. How do I find it in my birth chart?

My mum put my birth time in photo album with photos I was lucky I knew this. I tell people to write birth time down and put in a booklet for the child. I have Aries rising Jupiter in Aries.

I have my Sun, North Node, Uranus, Neptune, and Lilith on my Ascendant in Capricorn with my chart ruler in Aquarius in my second house. My Sun and North Node are above my Ascendant degree. So that means I have Capricorn, Leo, Pisces, Aquarius, and Nodal energy on my Ascendant As a kid, I never felt like a Capricorn... Thanks to my North Node being there I guess 😆.

I have a Birthday Astrology book. There is a date structure per calendar month within it, just thought you would like to know. (1st) Sun (2nd) Moon (3rd) Jupiter (4th) Uranus (5th) Mercury (6th) Venus (7th) Neptune (8th) Saturn (9th) Mars so every 9 (10th) Sun (11th) Moon and so on. From another book Monday (Moon) Tuesday (Mars) Wednesday (Mercury) Thursday (Jupiter/Neptune) Friday (Venus) Saturday (Saturn/Uranus) Sunday (Sun). I'm born on the 26th which is Saturn, and I always find that people born on moon dates, are like an opposite to me, or have some strong prevalent meaning in my life, if you know what I mean (2nd) (11th) (20th) (29th) which are dates related to the Moon. Obviously dates like the Sun, Jupiter, and Uranus, are (positive) and the Moon, Saturn, and Neptune are (Negative) the other dates are (Neutral).

I also have regulus at 29 Leo, though 11th house. My Name will be on buildings
