To sign sunrise, hold your non-dominant arm horizontally across your chest with the palm facing down to represent the horizon. Form a 'C' shape with your dominant hand to represent the sun. Start with your dominant hand below your non-dominant arm, then move it upward so it rises above the 'horizon' arm.
