In my 15+ years of practice, I've found that the Rising sign is your "mask"—the first impression you make. While the Sun is your ego, the Rising sign is how you instinctively navigate the world.

Why the Ascendant is "The Mask"
In many ways, your Rising sign is more visible to others than your Sun sign. It's the "Ascendant" because it was coming up over the horizon when you arrived.
I often tell my students: If the Earth is a house, the Rising sign is the front door. It's the style, the color, and the material that people see before they're invited inside to meet your Sun (the owner) and your Moon (the home's internal vibe).
"Your Sun is your destiny, but your Rising is your path."
