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 March
March 2nd – Mars in Pisces
Mars entering Pisces softens the of Mars who traditionally seeks momentum, direction and assertion, Pisces dissolves straight lines and replaces them with intuition and emotional awareness. This isn’t a month for forcing outcomes or charging forward simply because you feel you should be doing something. You may notice people acting from underlying feelings rather than obvious goals, which can make situations seem confusing or indirect.
This transit asks for patience with yourself and others. Energy moves in waves rather than bursts, and progress may come through imagination, compassion or creative flow rather than determination alone. At times motivation may feel elusive, but this isn’t a block, it’s an invitation to listen deeper in to what truly matters.
Mars in Pisces blurs boundaries, be mindful of where you’re giving energy away unconsciously. Notice where you feel drained and where you feel nourished. Action aligned with inner truth becomes far more effective than pushing against the current, and boy do we need this now.
March 3rd – Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
A lunar eclipse amplifies emotional awareness and brings matters into sharper focus, often revealing what has been quietly building beneath the surface. In Virgo, the emphasis turns toward daily routines, health, organisation and the small details that shape larger patterns.
This eclipse highlights the relationship between effort and outcome; you may see where systems support you and where they restrict your growth. Virgo energy asks for refinement rather than perfection. There could be a realisation that some habits, commitments or expectations have become too rigid or demanding.
Eclipses often bring endings or turning points. Something reaches a natural conclusion, allowing space for a more aligned approach. Clarity arises through practical awareness and instead of dramatic gestures, meaningful change comes from adjusting small, consistent actions.
This is also a time to question your inner critic as Virgo’s shadow can manifest as harsh internal dialogues. Notice where you can improve without diminishing yourself. Real change grows from kindness toward your own process.
March 6th – Venus into Aries
When Venus enters Aries, love becomes direct, instinctive and unapologetically alive. Venus is traditionally at home in Libra and Taurus, where connection is measured and steady. In Aries, ruled by Mars, she acts first and thinks later. Desire surfaces quickly. Attraction is immediate. There’s less patience for ambiguity and far more hunger for honesty.
This transit invites us to lead with the heart rather than wait to be chosen. It’s a time for bold gestures, fresh starts and reclaiming independence within relationships. If something has felt stale, Venus in Aries pushes for movement. Not drama for its own sake, but clarity through action.
Creatively, it’s fertile ground for initiating projects that feel personal and brave. Financially, spending can become impulsive, awareness helps.
At its best, Venus in Aries reminds us that love isn’t passive. It’s a spark. And sometimes the bravest thing we can do is follow it.
March 11th – Jupiter Direct in Cancer
In Cancer, Jupiter emphasises home, belonging and emotional nourishment. During the retrograde period, many may have reassessed what safety truly means and as Jupiter moves forward again, there’s a renewed willingness to build foundations that support genuine fulfilment.
This is a time when emotional investments begin to show results. You might feel more optimistic about your personal life, family dynamics or the spaces you live in, even work in. Growth arises through nurturing rather than striving and allowing yourself to feel supported becomes part of the expansion process.
Jupiter in Cancer encourages generosity and emotional openness but also asks for healthy boundaries. Notice where you’re ready to grow beyond old emotional patterns or inherited expectations.
March 19th – New Moon in Pisces
The New Moon in Pisces marks a moment of quiet renewal. New Moons symbolise beginnings, but Pisces emphasises inner alignment rather than external action. Seeds planted now may not yet have clear form but still, they carry emotional or spiritual significance.
This is a powerful time for reflection, meditation and listening to subtle guidance. Instead of focusing on outcomes, consider how you want to feel moving forward. Pisces reminds us that intention begins with emotional resonance.
There may be a desire to withdraw slightly from noise or distraction, honour that impulse if possible. Creative visualisation and imaginative thinking are especially supported. You might notice new dreams emerging, or old dreams resurfacing in a different light. But
avoid rushing decisions. Pisces encourages trust in timing. Allow clarity to unfold gradually, knowing that what begins quietly now may grow in unexpected ways later.
March 20th – Sun into Aries, Equinox
The Sun entering Aries marks the equinox, a turning point where balance between light and dark shifts and a new astrological cycle begins. Aries energy brings courage, initiative and a fresh start. After the introspective tone of Pisces, this feels like a spark of renewal.
The equinox represents equilibrium. It invites reflection on where balance exists in your life and where adjustment may be needed. Aries then asks you to move forward with renewed confidence.
This transition may bring increased motivation or clarity about personal direction. However, authentic action grows from awareness rather than impulse. Consider what you truly want to begin, rather than reacting to external pressures.
There’s a sense of emerging from a period of inner reflection into outward engagement. Trust your instinct to move forward but remain mindful of pacing.
March 20th – Mercury Direct in Pisces
Mercury turning direct restores clarity after a period of reflection or confusion. In Pisces, communication may have felt vague or emotionally charged. As Mercury moves forward again, insights gained during the retrograde begin to integrate.
Conversations that felt uncertain may now find resolution. Creative ideas that seemed elusive start to take shape. Pisces communication is intuitive rather than strictly logical, so clarity arrives through feeling as much as thought.
It’s a good time to revisit conversations or plans that stalled earlier. You might find new understanding emerging naturally. Listen deeply and speak clearly.
Be patient with yourself as momentum rebuilds. Mercury direct doesn’t instantly remove uncertainty, it supports forward movement guided by intuition and experience, that’s what matters.
March 30th – Venus into Taurus
Here, Venus expresses through stability, sensuality and appreciation of the physical world. Relationships may feel steadier, and there’s a renewed focus on comfort and tangible pleasure.
This is a time to slow down and savour experiences. Financial matters benefit from practical attention, as Taurus encourages steady growth rather than risk, as she may have done in Aries.
Connection deepens through presence. Shared meals, nature, music or simple pleasures can strengthen bonds more than grand gestures. There’s also an invitation to reconnect with your own body and senses, reminding you that pleasure and stability are and embodiment process.
Venus in Taurus values consistency. Consider where patience and persistence can create lasting beauty or security, again, steady efforts often lead to meaningful results
