ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES

What is an astrological house and what does it mean? They are simply a way of dividing up your birth chart. The time and location of your birth help to divide up the chart. They are numbered courter-clockwise from 1 - 12, and each house represents a different sphere of your life. The division starts at the eastern horizon, which is where we find our ascendant or rising sign, and then rotating down under the horizon. The ascendant is the cusp of our first house.

There are many different ways to divide up the chart devised by many different astrologers over the course of the centuries. Some have a different sign on the cusp of each house and some don't - meaning, for example, that Scorpio can be on your 12th house cusp and your first house like it is in mine, putting Taurus on the 6th and 7th house cusps. Therefore two signs (Leo and Aquarius) or completely contained in their houses and don't lie on a cusp. They co-rule the house and can add more meaning to it.

What Is An Ascendant or Rising Sign?

Your ascendant, otherwise known as your rising sign, is the Zodiac Sign that was rising in the eastern horizon at the moment you were born.  To know what sign was rising you would need to know the exact time and location of your birth.  


It is believed that if the Ascendant falls closer to the beginning of the Sign, the stronger the effects will be felt in the individual. This is also held to be true if the Sun is in a weak position in the birth chart (such as if the individual was born at night). It’s also thought to be weaker when the individual is born towards the end of the Sign's Ascendancy, just before the next Sign appears.


The rising sign can also represent the environment and childhood influences since it is location and time specific.  Everything in your chart will be filtered by this sign.  

BIRTH CHARTS & NATAL REPORTS

"What is a birth chart?" you may be asking.  Well, it's basically a chart cast for the date, time and location of your birth.  It's a map of the heavens that shows the exact location of the sun, moon, and planets.  This is what the chart looks like...

The Earth would be in the center of the chart and the bold horizontal line to the left shows the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the time of birth - in this case the sign of Scorpio was making it's way up.
