How Do I Find My Rising/Moon Sign?
And why would I want to?
I have always been of the opinion that any extra information is never a bad thing! You already know your star sign, let’s call it your Sun sign from now on, because it’s where the Sun was at the time of your birth. The same goes for your Moon sign; it’s where the Moon was when you were born. Your rising sign is dependant on the time and place of your birth, it’s what zodiac sign was coming over the horizon at the time, date and place of your birth. It’s also the degree on the wheel that your whole natal, birth, chart starts from so you can be a different Sun, Moon and Rising sign. Fun!
The wheel is split up into 12 sections, I use the equal house system, meaning each section is 30 degrees. These sections, houses, represent every sector of your life from family, to romance, money, work and so on. Your rising sign is also the face you present to the world; which is why you just don’t feel like the Virgo you are. You can find your rising sign here, but please remember that time is everything as it changes every two hours. If you don’t know your time of birth you may need a ‘chart of best fit’ something your local astrologer may do for you.
If the Sun is the external you, the Moon is the internal workings. The rising sign is how it’s delivered and so with 1,728 different ways of expressing those three things you see how astrology just got more specific, no more of the one twelfth argument! Back to the Moon, find your Moon sign here. She’s all about what lies beneath, a big player in the skies but remember; none of them work alone. Knowing where they are will help make more sense of ‘Sun Sign’ astrology; read your Sun, Moon and Rising sign, see what they reveal and make up your own bespoke reading.
Astrology for June
June 2025 Astrology
6 June – Venus into Taurus
Venus returning to her own sign always feels like a soft exhale. After the heat and activity in Aries, there’s a call to ground love in the body, beauty in the senses, and values in real-world choices. This isn’t about lofty ideals, it’s about what truly nourishes you. Money, food, affection, art: all the tangible expressions of Venus come back into focus. It’s a good time to notice what you already have, not what you’re reaching for.
8 June – Mercury into Cancer
The thinking mind slips into the lands of feels. Mercury in Cancer isn’t quick to speak, but it does listen; deeply. It remembers things others miss. Conversations this month may carry emotional undercurrents, family, memory, longing, or even nostalgia. Notice what you’re saying between the lines, and what you’re picking up from others without words being spoken.
9 June – Jupiter into Cancer
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, moves into the sign of nourishment, roots, and belonging. This shift can bring a quiet kind of abundance, a growth not in speed or volume, but in depth and emotional fulfilment. What would it mean to feel safe enough to grow? What part of your inner landscape is ready to soften and open? Exalted, he’s happier here than in Gemini, another sigh in a month of deep breathes out. Let go of the busy-ness in your head and focus on the calm in your heart.
11 June – Full Moon in Sagittarius
A full moon always brings something to light up. In Sagittarius, this lunation may shine a torch on truth, meaning, or the need to stretch beyond your current story. But, with the Cancerian influence nearby, this isn’t the usual philosophical blaze, it’s a tender quest. Where are you being asked to believe in something again? Where is your heart seeking adventure, not just escape?
17 June – Mars into Virgo
Mars in Virgo can sharpen focus, or tip into perfectionism. The energy here is practical, detail-oriented, and tireless when it has purpose. If you’ve felt scattered, this could help bring order. But it’s important to work with this energy, not become ruled by it. Fixing doesn’t always mean healing. Use discernment. What is truly asking for your attention?
21 June – Solstice
Whether you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere, the Solstice marks a turning point. A pause. The Sun stands still. In the North, it’s the longest day. In the South, the deepest night. Either way, it’s a moment to honour light, outer or inner, and to listen deeply to the seasons of your own life. What cycle are you in? What are you ready to honour, release, or renew?
25 June – New Moon in Cancer
This New Moon comes with a quiet invitation: come home to yourself. Not the version others expect, but the one you meet in silence. New Moons are for planting seeds, and in Cancer, they’re emotional seeds, intentions rooted in care, protection, and truth. You might find yourself reflecting on family, home, the past, or simply where you feel safe. Trust the stillness.
26 June – Mercury into Leo
After weeks of an emotional tone, Mercury bursts into Leo with an expressive voice. Here, words want to be seen and heard. There’s warmth and boldness, but also a risk of speaking over the quieter parts of ourselves. Use this shift to share your story, not to dominate, but to connect. When the heart leads the conversation, something authentic shines through.
