Your sun sign is the location of where the sun stood at birth. The sun sign stands for the masculine part of the human being. But there also exists a feminine side; yin and yang. The moon sign portrays our conscious and subconscious emotional world.

The Ascendant or rising sign is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day to day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations.

Were you born on a cusp? Those born on a cusp were born at the beginning or end of a Sun Sign, a true blend of both astrological personalities.

Astrological signs are grouped together and these groups of signs in astrology share certain characteristics that are classified according to four earthly elements; fire, air, water and earth. It helps explain why some astrological signs are more compatible than others. Within each element, there is a Fixed, Mutable and Cardinal sign within that group as well.

The Cardinal signs are like the oldest in the family, and full of the self initatory spirit. They assert their particular style of leadership through their element. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are cardinal. The Fixed signs dig in and are able to hold steady in their goals to achieve something solid. It's hard for them to change, which gives them a reputation for being stubborn. But they are respected for their self containment and sense of purpose. Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus are fixed. The Mutable signs are flexible, adaptable and restless. They are able to see life from many perspectives, making them great communicators. They represent the breakdown before the next season begins, so there's a touch of chaos to their natures. Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo are mutable.
