Most of us know our zodiac sign, and its importance in understanding our personalities and destiny.
我们大多数人都知道自己的星座是什么，知道星座在了解我们性格和命运方面的重要性。
But did you know that we all also have a second zodiac sign that matters just as much?
但是你知道我们都有一个同样重要的第二星座吗？
In fact, it's so important that it can offer life-changing insights not only into your relationships — but how others see you, too.
事实上，第二星座非常重要，能够在你的人际关系、以及别人如何看待你这个问题上面给你改变一生的看法。
The key to finding this second sign — known by astrologers as your 'rising sign' and first identified by ancient Babylonian soothsayers — is to know both your star sign and, crucially, the time you were born.
第二星座被占星家称之为“上升星座”，最先由古巴比伦占卜家发现，要想知道你的第二星座，就得先知道你的第一星座和出生的时辰。
Your rising sign refers to which of the 12 zodiac signs were 'rising' on the Eastern horizon of the world at the time of your birth.
上升星座指的就是你出生时，在东方地平线上“升起”的那个星座。
These signs change every two hours. This is one of the many reasons people born only hours apart can appear so very different — they may share star signs, but their rising signs won't be the same.
这些星座每两小时就会发生一次变化。这就是为什么有些人出生时辰只相隔几小时，但是却非常不同的一个原因--他们的第一星座可能一样，但是他们的上升星座却不一样。
To discover your rising sign, read our simple chart.

While your star sign holds the secrets of your inner personality, your rising sign symbolises the face you present to the world and how others see you.
