ok as someone who doesn't know much about zodiac, can i ask whats the difference between sun, moon, and rising?

This is what people refer to when they ask "what's your zodiac/astrology/star sign". It's a common misconception that this is the main representative of your whole personality. But this isn't entirely true. Each person actually has their own birth chart, here's a free site that I use and trust (don't go on co-astrology it's full of stereotypes and misinformation.) Your Sun sign is how you shine and what you shine for.
𝐊𝐄𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒: Identity, Ego, Life Force, Core, Self, Self-Image

Equal to your Sun sign in defining your personality. Your Moon sign is your inner emotions, your instincts, and intuition. The Moon shows our innerworld, how we process, react and behave. It's also our habits, and personal traditions. The Moon is rooted within our instincts and unconscious. It should also be noted that the Zodiac in a person's Moon sign is much more traditional in its meaning. For example, An Aries moon is much more rebellious than an Aries Sun.
𝐊𝐄𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒: Soul, Emotions, Feelings, Inner World, Spirit, Essence

In simple terms, your rising sign is how you project yourself to the world/to others. There is also big importance to your rising sign as it indicates where your birth chart begins. This Rising Sign is the same as your First House, which shows how others perceive you and how you interact with the world.
𝐊𝐄𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒: Mask, Social Personality, Physical Body, Outward Style
Your Sun sign shows your core values, while your Moon sign shows your innate needs.
Your sun/moon/rising can also be referred to as your 'Big 3'
Many just focus on their Big 3 (hence the term), while others like to dig deeper into their chart and find out the core of who they are
Here's a chart from a website that shows the planets (it doesn't have your rising/ascendant however) Also this isn't my chart, I think I got it from Tarot.com?
If you want me to go more in-depth, I'd be totally up for it. I can also introduce the Houses and Planets as well. And what they are in your birth chart! ✨⭐✨
