Rising Sign Calculator

Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was climbing the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. This version estimates it by starting from your sun sign at sunrise and advancing one sign for every two hours of clock time, which is the old pen and paper shortcut. Enter your birth date and the hour and minute you were born, and it returns the sign, its element and how long until the next one. A true ascendant needs your birth place and the local sidereal time, so read this as entertainment.
