What is a rising sign?
Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. Together with the Sun and Moon it makes up the "big three" of your birth chart. In astrology it describes how you approach new things and the first impression you make.
A rising sign calculator needs your birth time, because the ascendant changes roughly every two hours. Your exact time is usually on your birth certificate. It also needs your birthplace, since the horizon is different everywhere on Earth.
When you calculate your rising sign with Astromira, you also see your Sun and Moon signs. The explanations are a prompt for reflection, not a label for who you are.

Questions
What is a rising sign?
Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. In astrology it stands for how you approach new things and people: your first impression. Your Sun sign is the one most people simply call their "star sign".
Why does the birth time matter so much?
The rising sign changes roughly every two hours and the houses even faster, so 15 minutes can make a difference. Your exact time is usually on your birth certificate. Without it, we calculate everything the date allows and tell you clearly what is missing.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your result shows up straight away, with no email needed: the chart wheel, your Sun, Moon and rising sign, all the planets, the elements and, if you know your birth time, the houses. Everything else is optional.
How accurate is it?
We compute positions with astronomical formulas, accurate to a fraction of a degree, using the tropical zodiac and Placidus houses (whole-sign houses at polar latitudes). The interpretation is astrology: a symbolic system for reflecting on yourself, not science and not a prediction. Keep what helps and leave the rest.
What happens to my data?
On the free calculators, your birth details are processed on our servers in the EU for that one calculation and are not stored. Your browser remembers your last entry locally on your device. We only store them (in the EU) if you continue to the personal report and give us your email. They are never sent to ad networks or tracking pixels. The full details are in the Adriatic Apps d.o.o. privacy policy.
What does the full report cost?
The personal birth chart report is a one-time €14.99, and the compatibility reading a one-time €9.99. Both are written by AI from your calculated chart and neither is a subscription. If you like, there is also Astromira Plus at €9.99 a month, which you can cancel anytime. Ask within 14 days of buying and we will refund you.
