Thanks for tuning in.

Well, hello everybody and welcome to the astrology hub podcast. Today I am so thrilled to be here with

astrologer, historian, and astrology hub favorite, Christopher Wrenstrom,

and we're going to be talking today all about the rising sign or the

ascendant and we're going to be going kind of through some of the basics but then also into some depth as we explore this topic.

So what is the rising sign?

Why does it matter?

Why is it one of the big three, the sun, moon, and rising?

Sometimes people actually don't associate very much

with their rising sign.

Or Christopher says, sometimes people literally say,

why do I hate my rising sign?

Like, why do I hate my rising sign? Like why do I really, yeah, why do I really struggling this like this this rising sign?

And then on the flip side, there's other people that say, gosh, I associate, I feel way more connected to my rising sign than to my sun sign.

So we're going to explore all those things.

We're also very excited to be here on the eve of Christopher Wrenstrom's book release. And this book is all about the rising

sign, so we're going to talk about that at the end and how you can get your hands on a copy of

Christopher Wrenstrom's latest book. So Christopher, let's just start with the basics. What is the rising sign? Both like technically in the sky and then also astrologically what does it stand for?
