Do you know how to calculate your astrological house?

Did you know that your ascendant sign is actually your 1st House? To put it simply: the circle of the 12 zodiac signs is divided into 12 sectors of life also called "astrological houses." The first astrological House begins with your Ascendant, which falls into a specific sign based on your birth details (date + time + place of birth are necessary here). EX: If your first astrological House starts in Aries, you are an Aries Ascendant. Got it?

Each astrological house corresponds to a specific domain of our existence, and the planets located in the different astrological houses at the time of our birth determine various aspects of our personality. To know which planets are in your astrological houses, you need to know your natal chart.

Astrological houses: meaning and symbolism

Depending on your question, astrologers will study the relevant astrological houses and the different planetary aspects. For example, to know if you will get pregnant, the astrologer will study your 5th House. 

👉 Note: In the study of a natal chart, we analyze the astrological House in a sign (e.g., a 2nd House in Virgo) THEN we check if there are planets in it and whether these planets form aspects with other planets... The interpretation will be refined accordingly. It is common to have astrological houses without planets in them.

The 1st House in astrology – The Ascendant

The 1st House corresponds to the sign of Aries. It represents the "deep self", an individual's behavior, vitality, and physical appearance. It is an essential element of a natal chart. The degree where the 1st astrological House begins is the degree of the Ascendant. 

👉 For example: A person with the 1st House in Taurus, thus being a Taurus Ascendant, will often have a fairly robust body, sometimes stocky, exuding strength. At first glance, it will be clear that this is a grounded person, solid on their feet, earthy, and well-built. They will rarely appear frail or fragile.

The 2nd House in astrology – Money, work, material possessions

The 2nd astrological House corresponds to the sign of Taurus. It governs our relationship with money and material possessions, how we manage them, and their importance in our lives. It provides insights into our financial future, wealth, or potential setbacks...

The 3rd House in astrology – Close surroundings, short trips, and studies

This 3rd astrological House corresponds to the sign of Gemini. It represents communication, how we express ourselves, and our immediate surroundings (siblings, colleagues, cousins, etc.). It describes our relationships with people we do not choose in life, except for our parents and children, who are represented by other Houses. As we choose our friends, they are also represented by another House. The 3rd House also provides information about studies (from primary to secondary education) and learning in a broader sense. It is also the House of short trips, small journeys, and means of transport...

The 4th House in astrology – The Imum Coeli – Family, home, heritage, father

This 4th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Cancer. It marks the family, the roots of an individual, and tells us much about their home, whether it’s their family of origin or the one they will create, as well as their childhood. The 4th House also often represents the father, real estate, and the home...

The 5th House in astrology – Love, leisure, children, and creativity

This 5th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Leo. It informs us about our unofficial love affairs, our relationship with pleasure, our romances, hobbies, talents, and our children – whether already born or yet to come. It can also represent luck in games, theater, teaching, aesthetics, art, creativity, and leisure...

For example, if someone asks a question about their husband and lover, the husband will be represented by the 7th House (partnership) and the lover by the 5th House.

The 6th House in astrology – Daily life, work routine, colleagues, and health

This 6th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Virgo. It tells us a lot about the subject’s daily life and their behavior in the workplace. It also concerns health, minor illnesses of no great importance. It can represent the workplace, work habits (not ambitions or career, which are represented by the 10th House). It also concerns health: our health or the possibility of working in the healthcare or service sector. It is also the house of pets.

The 7th House in astrology – The Descendant: Unions, marriage, contracts, and relationships with others

This 7th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Libra. It is very important in defining our relationships with others, how we behave, and our perception of others (partners, associates). It represents our associations, partnerships, and unions. It is the House of marriage, contracts, and commitments. Also, if this house receives negative aspects at a given time, it can indicate risks of divorce, for example.

The 8th House in astrology – Passions, transformations, death, trials, and sexuality

This 8th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Scorpio. It refers to major existential crises that bring about significant upheavals in our lives. It can involve inheritances, legal matters, but also sexuality, power, or hidden things. In short, everything with a shadowy side. It is the House of experiences we encounter in life, the House that informs us about our relationship with the afterlife, death...

The 9th House in astrology – Travel, spirituality, foreign lands

This 9th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Sagittarius. It pertains to the psychological domain of an individual, indicating great ideals, long journeys – both physical and mental – and represents higher education. It also represents astrology, religion, culture (of a country), philosophy, meditation, relaxation techniques, and our relationship with foreign lands...

The 10th House in astrology – The Midheaven: Social success, professional destiny, and the mother

This 10th astrological House corresponds to the sign of Capricorn. It embodies an individual’s career evolution, their ambitions in relation to their background, and their achievement in society. It relates to the public and the potential for fame. It represents professional and social destiny. It also represents the native’s mother.

The 11th House – Friendship, collective projects, support, and protection in life

This 11th House corresponds to the sign of Aquarius. It represents our friends and informs us about our support systems, whether we benefit from help in life, a kind of good fortune...

The 12th House – Enemies, problems, solitude, and secrets

This 12th House corresponds to the sign of Pisces. It refers to your "inner self," the trials we face in life, hidden enemies, and serious illnesses. It is a house related to all places of confinement: hospitals, prisons, convents, etc...

Editorial Insight: An important point in Astrology

Astrological houses are very important in astrology. The astrological aspects present in them at the time of our birth, as well as currently, reveal a lot about our personality and upcoming events. If you want to learn more about yourself, your love life, or future events in a more general sense, contact one of our astrologers.
