The third, but arguably most important aspect of your astrological birth chart is your rising sign, or what zodiac sign was literally "rising" on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. "It is your character, vitality, much of your personality and mannerisms, and overall vibe," astrology Maren Altman explained to Elite Daily. Your rising sign is the filter you curate your interactions through.
For those born when Aries was rising, their otherwise calm demeanor is a shallow covering over their passionate, creative, impulsive core, warns Cosmopolitan. As astrologist Taryn Bond points out to Elite Daily, Aries Ascendants come off as extremely comfortable in their own skins — and that's because they are. Their anxieties are channeled into taking risks, innovation, and starting their lives over after they've gone completely scorched-earth because they realized they were comfortable with something.
Reading Caitlin Scarano's award-winning poetry collection, "The Necessity of Wildfire," feeds into your core desire to start over while sharing the lessons of why it's important to look back. Described by Ada Limón as "hungry, clear-eyed, tough, and generous," "The Necessity of Wildfire" uses "fierce lyricality" to explore the moments where the human and natural world intersects, the violence that is born from the meetings, and the generational trauma that can linger on in bloodlines (via Bookshop). Starting over is easy, but Scarano's collection is a warning: your past follows you everywhere.
