The Big Three

Read together, the three of them start to describe a person.


Sun, Moon and rising are astrology in shorthand. Each is useful on its own, but the real information is in the tension between them.

How the three relate

  • All three in one element: a clear but one-directional person. They have to find balance outside themselves.
  • Sun and Moon at odds: what they want and what they need pull apart. This is the most common internal tension.
  • Rising very different from the other two: the outside and the inside do not match. Being known takes longer.
