Your Big 3 in astrology refers to your Sun sign, your moon sign, and your rising sign. These three, found in your unique birth chart, say a lot about you. Have you ever met someone so vastly different than you, then discovered that you share a zodiac sign?
The sun, moon, and rising (ascendant) signs represent the foundational parts of your personality; taken together, they're called the Big 3. In the language of astrology, your sun, moon, and rising signs communicate far more information than you get from your sun sign alone.
May 6, 2022, 9:38 AM PDT. By Lisa Stardust. Chances are, someone has asked you about your "big three." That's astrological shorthand for your sun, moon, and rising signs, also known as an ascendant.
Each of the 12 astrological signs falls under one of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. There are three signs per element, with the fire signs being Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.
According to Stardust, the second rarest zodiac sign is Aries, and after that, it's Sagittarius, both of which are fire signs.
First up, is Aries, the cardinal fire sign, a.k.a. the ultimate leader.
If you're a Scorpio rising, you may come off as mysterious, quiet, and alluring. It's not always a sexually charged charm, although it can be. Scorpios have a reputation for being the most sexual sign of the zodiac, so your inherent sensuality may intimidate others when they first meet you.
Discipline, structure, and order are important to Libra Risings. They thrive when their home is organized. They usually lead pretty busy lives, and being able to trust that their space is arranged to their liking is major. It does take them a while to attain the home spaces that they desire.
When you have three or more placements in the same zodiac sign, that would mean you have a stellium. A stellium indicates that you have a ton of influence from one particular zodiac sign or astrological house.
Scorpio "Big 3" & Balance
Balance is key for those with the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, all in Scorpio. This can often lead to being pulled in too many different directions. The triple Scorpio needs to learn to find a balance between their personal and professional life and their inner and outer worlds.
What is a rising sign? Your rising sign is one of the components of your birth chart, along with your moon sign and star sign. Essentially, it's the sign that was rising on the Eastern horizon the moment you were born.
While your sun sign speaks to your core identity and your moon sign represents your inner self, the rising sign or ascendant is your external self — the "mask" that people see upon meeting you, so it'll often influence how others see you too.
In World War II, the three great Allied powers—Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union—formed a Grand Alliance that was the key to victory.
In order to calculate your rising sign, you need your birth date, month as well as the time you were born. Similar to the moon sign, the rising sign changes every 2 hours, meaning several people born on the same exact date can each have a different rising sign, depending on the exact time of their birth.
Your moon sign is the sign of the zodiac where the moon was at your moment of birth. It's the soul of your identity, the subconscious part of yourself that you might keep hidden from others (unlike your outward facing sun sign) and it makes up a big part of your emotional side.
Libra ascendant sign compatibility often begins with the air signs, Gemini and Aquarius. Individuals with these sun signs make stimulating companions that share intellectual interests. The Fire signs, Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries, activate Libra rising's sense of justice.
In fact, they're ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, so Libra Risings were born with a naturally charming demeanor. With age, they only learn to fine-tune their allure. When it comes to the art of flirting, these seducers are very aware of how to speak to the senses.
Compliment their sense of style or attention to aesthetic detail, their sex appeal, and their light and flirty air of mystery. Libra is also diplomatic, so compliment how considerate they are and ask them for their opinions on things that matter to you.
The ardent, loyal, endearing, and generous nature of this sign makes it hard for their partner to leave them even if the relationship falters. A Scorpio Ascendant will be most attracted to a Taurus who is loyal, stable, dependable, trustworthy and down-to-earth.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You're assertive without coming off as pushy, passionate without seeming desperate, and emotional without being unpredictable — a perfect flirt cocktail when you're trying to get to know someone.
They don't want to seem too clingy, but when they truly open themselves to a person, they can be anyway. They prefer romances that feel real and have the potential to be long-term. They lose interest in anything that feels fake.
LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 24)
Librans understand people in most transparent way and thrive as leaders, especially when they are working toward the greater good of humanity.
Leadership qualities can be found in individuals across all zodiac signs. However, Aries, Leo, Capricorn, and Aquarius stand out as the top four signs known for their exceptional leadership abilities. Aries leads with fearlessness, Leo with charisma, Capricorn with ambition, and Aquarius with innovation.
