Your big 3 will massively impact who you are and why you are on this earth. 

This blog explores the differences between the big 3 and how they can help guide you through life.

Sun Sign

Your sun sign is based on the sun’s position in the sky when you were born. Your sun sign is also referred to sometimes as your zodiac or your star sign. 

What does your sun sign say about you?

Your sun sign represents your personality. It showcases your drive in life, your overall attitude and spirit as well as your core values. 

Moon Sign

Your moon sign is based on the moon’s position in the sky at the time you were born. 

What does your moon sign say about you?

Your moon sign represents the part of yourself that you cannot express literally. In other words, all the things going on below the surface that you yourself may not even be conscious of. 

Rising Sign

Your rising sign is based on your hour of birth. If you don’t know this, then it will be difficult to figure out your rising. 

What does your rising sign say about you? 

Your rising sign is the energy you put out into the world. For example, the vibe you give off and how you carry yourself.
