What Do The Houses Mean In Astrology? - Calculate And Discover Yours

This is how to calculate your astrological house

Did you know that your first house is actually your rising sign? That’s to say, the planet that was through your first house at the time of your birth. To put it simply: the circle of the 12 signs of the zodiac is divided into 12 sectors of existence also called "astrological houses".

To better understand astrology, and its influence on our personality, and to be able to analyze a natal chart, it is important to know the 12 houses that represent 12 aspects of life. Each house has its own theme and is associated, depending on the individual, with an astrological sign. All this makes us different people, with different reactions and different needs.

To establish the 12 houses of astrology, we must first find your rising sign. Our 1st house is determined by our ascendant, which is calculated from your time, date, and place of birth. As you can see, if you have your 1st house in Libra, it will not have the same impact on your behavior as a person with Aries or Scorpio as their 1st house.

How can you find the order of your houses in astrology? After determining your 1st house through your ascendant, follow the order of the zodiac to find your 2nd house, 3rd house, and so on. For example, if your 1st house is in Libra, your 2nd house will be in Scorpio, your 3rd house in Sagittarius, etc.

Astrologist Susan Taylor's insights:

Houses are forms of expression of the psyche. They are the "backdrop" in which "actions" take place, the setting where signs and planets evolve, the places of fulfilment of individuality. It's said that houses receive what the planets in sign emit. In contrast, the signs represent the character with which we will approach the field concerned. The Planets correspond to the energies that are activated in the sectors of life concerned.

What do the 12 houses of astrology represent? - The meanings and symbols explained

If you choose to consult an astrologer, the expert will have to focus on certain houses and planetary aspects in order to answer your questions. For example, if you’d like to know when you’ll get pregnant, the astrologer will have to study your fifth house in your birth chart. A House represents a field of action of life and daily life, a field that is colored by the energies of the sign that 'governs' this or that house as well as the planets that are in it. The houses add subtlety and uniqueness to our astrological charts, due to the highly variable distribution of signs and planets within them - and the synergies that are created. Yes, astrology is much more complex than a simple sun sign, for those who doubted it until now. The Houses give meaning to our life paths, and they are the different workshops of your existence, the themes that you will have to experience and work on. They also allow you to deepen (even more!) your self-knowledge.

Your 1st house astrology is your ascendant

The first house corresponds to the sign of Aries. It represents your "deepest self", as well as the behavior and vitality of an individual. It’s an essential part of one’s birth chart. The degree at which the first house begins is the degree of the Ascendant.
