Its about you as an ego being seperate from the world and the people around you.

One could describe your rising sign as your "self image" rather than your "public image".

It is the way you see yourself, which is not necessarily the same way other people see you.

It is the role you think you have to fulfill to fit into this world and the kind of person you think you have to live up to being.

Taurus moon
moon side becomes illuminated when you are clear about your place, and where you stand within the grand scheme of things. You like utter honesty, and if you feel mind games are being played, you want no part of it. You tend to be very classy, with killer taste in design, fashion, art, etc. In fact, you need to surround yourself with refinery and loveliness. Otherwise, you'll pick up on lower energies and dingy or sullied environments will send you to an abyss of depression. Taurean moon signs have notorious inner-wisdom. Your job is to trust that inner-knowing (because often these signs lack the conviction behind their gut instincts) because you are always dead-right. Do not make a move until you feel it is right on a visceral level. It's your gift, and a fantastic tool for self-preservation. Trust your inner guidance, always.

I don't have the power of fashion but the rest sounds fitting...

Leo Rising. Not very boisterous or fond of being in the spotlight. Somewhat ambitious I suppose, but feel like my Taurus Sun grounds the Leo, not sure

The Ascendant is your identity as a whole. Your Sun is your vitality or spirit. Your Moon is your instinctive, emotional drives, or soul. Your Venus is the way you love and how you relate to your relationships. Your Mars is your passion, drive, and your ability to take action. Your Saturn is your karmic lessons, your limitations and your ability to overcome them. Your Jupiter is where you are luckiest and also where you may have excess. Your Uranus is where you may be more wild and unpredictable. Your Neptune is your dreams, your spirituality, and where you may be more idealistic and even more delusional. Your Pluto is where you face transformation, death, rebirth.

I always thought it was vague when said that the sun is our vitality/spirit... Doesnt make sense 2 me. I saw somewhere-- the sun is why you are here, the rising is how you get there.

What's ur moon GG?
I think moon is how u relate in the world. ( emotionally)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Moon for me is especially how we " defend " when we feel attacked, also how we act to forgive us. The "hidden part" of us that comes when we are in "danger".

Rising is how you grow in society.

When some people say I am getting closer to my rising this means growing.

Think of sun rising 😉 the name is not innocent.

Sun Fixed, Moon Reaction, Rising Growing
