Rising sign (Ascendant) · Vedic
In Vedic astrology, your Rising sign (Ascendant) (Lagna) is the star-based zodiac sign it occupied at birth — said to describe the first impression you give and how you meet the world. The star-based zodiac is offset from the Western one by roughly 24°, so this sign is often the one before your Western placement.
Astrology has no scientific validity; included as a popular cultural identity. (Vedic / star-based astrology)
