Find Your Big Three

Your sun sign is only one part of your story.

Your Big Three, your Sun, Moon and Rising, are the three placements that shape who you are, how you feel, and how the world first meets you. Find yours above, then build your chart in candles.

The three, at a glance

The Sun: who you are. Your core self, your identity and drive. It's set by your birthday and it's the sign most people know.

The Moon: how you feel. Your inner world, what comforts you and who you are at home. It's set by where the moon was when you were born.

The Rising: how you arrive. Your first impression, the energy people meet before they know you. It's set by the sign rising on the eastern horizon at your exact birth time.

How to find yours

Your Sun comes from your birthday. Find it in the chart below.

Your Moon and Rising need three things: your birth date, your exact birth time, and the city you were born in. Enter them in the calculator at the top of this page and it will show all three. No birth time? You can still find your Sun and, most of the time, your Moon.
