Astrology offers us a blueprint of our true selves, captured in the sky at the time we were born. Your rising sign is the face you show to others-not a mask, a persona, or a role that you play. Understanding your rising sign will help explain why you are sometimes misunderstood, and will help you direct the first impression you make on others in order to convey the real you.

In RISE AND SHINE, veteran astrologer and columnist Christopher Renstrom unpacks all 144 Rising Sign/Sun sign combinations. This illuminating and engaging guide will help you navigate every relationship in your life-with a little help from the stars.
