Okay, so, today I wanna talk about this whole astrology thing, specifically my Sun, Moon, and Rising signs – Leo Sun, Gemini Moon, and Libra Rising. Let me tell you, figuring this stuff out was a journey, a real head-scratcher at first.

It all started when I stumbled upon some astrology stuff online. You know how it is, you see something, get curious, and next thing you know, you’re down a rabbit hole. I kept seeing people talk about their “big three” – Sun, Moon, and Rising. I was like, “What the heck is that all about?” I knew I was a Leo, ’cause, well, my birthday’s in August. But the Moon and Rising? Totally clueless.
So, I started digging. First, I had to figure out what these things even meant. Found out the Sun sign is like your core self, your basic personality. The Moon sign is about your emotions, your inner world, how you react to things. And the Rising sign, also called the Ascendant, is the mask you wear, how you come across to people when they first meet you. It’s also tied to your physical appearance, apparently.
Armed with this basic knowledge, I went on a hunt for my signs. I found some websites that said you needed your birth time, like, the exact time you were born, to calculate your birth chart. Now, I don’t know many people who remember the exact time they were born, right? I had to call my mom! She dug out my baby book (thank goodness she kept it!), and there it was, my birth time, clear as day.
Then I plugged that info into one of those birth chart calculators. And boom! There it was: Leo Sun, Gemini Moon, Libra Rising. Honestly, it felt like unlocking a secret code or something. Pretty wild.
Here’s what I learned about my own combo:
- Leo Sun: This one I already kinda knew. Leos are supposed to be confident, dramatic, and love being the center of attention. Yeah, that’s me to a T. I do enjoy a good spotlight, not gonna lie. We’re also supposed to be loyal and generous. I’d like to think I am!
- Gemini Moon: This one was interesting. Gemini is all about communication, being curious, and having a bit of a restless mind. With a Gemini Moon, it means I process my emotions through talking and thinking. And yeah, my mind is always racing, always thinking about a million things at once. I definitely need to talk things out to feel better. It also means I’m quite adaptable, going with the flow.
- Libra Rising: Okay, this one surprised me a little. Libra is about balance, harmony, and beauty. People with Libra Rising are supposed to be charming, diplomatic, and have a good sense of style. I guess I do try to keep the peace and avoid conflict. And I do appreciate aesthetics, a nice outfit, a well-decorated room, that kind of thing. It also explained why people sometimes tell me I’m very approachable, even when I’m in my own thoughts.
Putting it all together, it’s like I’m this bold, outgoing Leo on the inside (Sun), but my emotions are quick and chatty (Moon), and I present myself to the world in a more balanced, charming way (Rising). It’s like a little internal ecosystem, you know?
It took a bit of time, a few phone calls, and some serious internet sleuthing, but figuring out my Sun, Moon, and Rising signs was a fun little adventure. It’s like getting a new perspective on yourself. And hey, even if you don’t totally buy into astrology, it’s still a cool way to think about your personality and how you interact with the world. So, if you’re curious, I say go for it! Find out your big three. You might be surprised at what you discover.
