Once we identify the way each planet and sign work together, we look to the Houses to discover exactly where that energy is manifesting. Mercury in serious Capricorn, for instance, will communicate logically and rationally Venus in elusive Scorpio adores mysterious romance Mars in protective Cancer tends to have an indirect approach to battle, and so on.
The way in which the planet operates, however, is influenced by its zodiac sign. To begin this process, think of each planet's specific function: For example, Mercury is a messenger, Venus is a matchmaker, and Mars is a warrior. Interpreting the Houses in Your Own Birth ChartĪfter you've anchored yourself at the Ascendant, you can begin to identify which Houses the planets occupy in your birth chart.
While the empty areas don't signify deficiencies, the locations of the planets do reveal important information. The birth chart is simply a snapshot of the sky at your moment of birth, and since most celestial bodies travel in clusters, they often stay close together. Once we identify the way each planet and sign work together, we look to the Houses to discover exactly where that energy is manifesting.Īs you trace your birth chart, you may find that you have many planets in certain houses (in fact, four or more planets in a single house is called a stellium), while others may be completely empty. Finally, we conclude the cycle with the Twelfth House, the section that borders the Ascendant to the north. We follow the sections, or Houses, and on the right side of the horizon line at the Descendent, we start to make our way to the top of the chart. Birth charts are read counterclockwise with the Ascendant's horizontal line delineating the First House. We use the Ascendant not only to gauge our individual terrain but also to create the chart’s distinctive architecture. Someone with a Sagittarius Ascendant, for instance, is ruled by generous Jupiter, whereas a Pisces Ascendant is living in an empathetic Neptunian world. The Ascendant also reveals the chart's ruling planet. The ascendant also is the "mask" one wears for the world, the image often portrayed through social media. For instance, communication will be a central theme in the life of a Gemini Ascendant, whereas innovation, progress, and nonconformity will define an Aquarius Ascendant's experience. While the sun exposes our truth and the moon reflects our emotions, the Ascendant reveals major themes we will encounter throughout our life. The letters “ASC” (also abbreviated as “AC”) mark your ascendant. For instance, the Seventth House of Partnership is associated with Libra energy: Libra is the sign of relationships and is all about balance, love, and fairness, so it makes sense that it corresponds with partnerships. Each house is associated with a different sign. As the planets in the sky move across these domains, different events - both tangible and emotional - are triggered.
Moreover, the Houses are a roadmap for understanding your past, present, and future. You've likely heard about signs and planets, for instance, but what the hell is a House?Įach planet, asteroid, or celestial point exists within a House, and that placement offers invaluable insight not just about your own personality, but also how you coexist with the world around you. As we begin following them, we become more familiar with - and interested in - the many moving pieces of our birth charts. For many of us, horoscopes are the gateway into greater astrological curiosity. If you've ever had your chart read or hung out with astrology nerds, you've likely heard about the Twelve Houses.
