It’s in the stars! This is the year of whirlwind romances, deepening connections and true love. Learn your 2024 love journey based on your “rising sign,” also known as the Ascendant. While you’re probably familiar with your sun sign (which describes your core identity), the rising sign describes your social personality and how you appear to others. This sign is determined by the time of your birth. Figure out your Ascendant by using an online tool to calculate your sign or by contacting a professional astrologer with your date, time and location of birth.
