Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house?” They’re talking about the part of the sky Mars was in when you were born. The house system divides the sky into 12 divisions and provides insight into various areas of your life according on which planets and constellations fall into which sectors when you were born. The zodiac constellation rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment you were born determines your first house, which is why both the time and location of your birth are required to determine it. From there, the rest of your houses will be counted in order. Visuals for your chart can be found on sites like this one!
Here’s what each house could tell you about yourself and your life:
1. The First House denotes one’s own image.
2. The House of Money and Finances is represented by the Second House.
3. The Third House is associated with close platonic ties as well as our near surroundings.
4. The Fourth House is associated with children and family.
5. The Fifth House is associated with self-expression, creativity, and amusement.
6. Work and health are represented by the Sixth House.
7. Marriage and long-term relationships are represented by the Seventh House.
8. The House of Transformation and Sexuality is represented by the eighth house.
The Ninth House depicts faith and belief systems.
The tenth house is associated with careers and responsibilities.
11. Aspirations and personal ambitions are represented by the Eleventh House.
12. The Twelfth House is associated with secrets, seclusion, and karma.
Pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses if your mind is spinning right now. They are usually given greater credit.
Houses are intriguing in that they can disclose or confirm your strengths and flaws. I wasn’t surprised to hear that Aries was in my second house, for example. Because Aries is a sign of ambition, passion, and volatile emotion, it’s no surprise that when it’s in my second house, which symbolizes money and finances, I’m very career-oriented and believe that my money must be earned. It’s also understandable that I’m prone to rash spending (shout-out to my unnecessarybut also necessaryshoe purchase a week ago). Oops.
A word about your rising sign. Your rising sign, also known as “the ascendant,” is the zodiac constellation that falls into your first house. It’s the most erratic and impossible to predict. If you move your birth time by even a few minutes, you can obtain different results. After your sun and moon signs, many astrologers believe this is your third most important placement. Your ascendant, as previously said, symbolizes your public persona. It can show up in your attire or practically any decision that has to do with your external appearance (such as hair color, piercings or overall style). It could also represent how you react to your immediate environment and how you approach everyday life.
Because my Aquarius ascendant is distinguished by originality and frequently rebellious style decisions, discovering my rising sign gave me the confidence to have a septum piercing, even though my friends believed it would be too “strange.”

What factors go into choosing your first home?
The Ascendant identifies you, and the First House defines you. It depicts your physical appearance, your general disposition, and the body you were born with. Planets in the first house of a person’s birth chart have a strong influence on that person’s life (for instance, Mercury in the First House is a sign of a chatterbox, while the moon in the First House reveals someone who wears emotions on their sleeve). Because this is the first stop in the cycle, when planets in the sky transit into this house, our aspirations become manifest, and new projects, ideas, or views emerge. This House is associated with the sign of Aries.
How do I get a copy of my house’s birth chart?
The houses are the final components of the puzzle. Look at the inner circle on your chart for these. The digits one through twelve will be shown in a counterclockwise direction. These are your residences.
Is the Ascendant the same as the First House?
What it means: Your first house, often called as the “ascendant,” marks the start of our journey through the astrological houses. It affects our self-image, sense of self, and the picture we portray to others, and it reflects “you” in the simplest terms. It has complete control over our physical appearance. The first house (appropriately) deals with “firsts” and fresh beginnings, such as the first impression you make or how you take initiative and start new projects. Also, if you know your rising sign, you’ll know when your first house is in, because the rising sign is simply another phrase for the first house’s cusp. If you have planets in your first house, they are likely to have a substantial impact on your life and personality.
What astrological year does my home belong to?
To use this astrological timing technique, you must know your birth time and Ascendant Sign (or Rising Sign).
Let’s first clarify what Annual Profections are before attempting to calculate our own.
The basic answer is that your unique horoscope or birth chart assigns you a planet that becomes more energized with each passing year.
The planet that is your annual ruler is known as the ‘Time Lord,’ or the Lord of the Year, similar to the Lord of the Dance if you recall the jig!
If Venus is your ‘Year Lord,’ you may find that a Venus Retrograde, with a transit to your own Venus or a Libra House, draws you into the activity. Alternatively, during a Mercury year, you may feel particularly linked to Mercury Retrograde.

Step 2: Determine your current year based on your age and the planet you are most sensitive to this year (i.e. Mars). You may also look back and forth in time!
Step 3: Investigate that planet in your horoscope to learn more about your personal relationship with it and how it is influencing you this year…
Step 4: Throughout the year, from one birthday to the eve of the next, mark out the transits of the planet (i.e. Mars) and take note of what that planet is doing (both as it moves around the Zodiac and as it touches your own chart).
Here’s an easy way to figure out what year you’re in by house:
Find your age by number, then look for the house it belongs to on the inner wheel…
Your years unfold as you move across the horoscope’s houses (one through twelve), with the eleventh house representing your eleventh year.
You start over at 13 years old, 25, 37, and so on because there are twelve households.
Another way to look at it is as follows:
- The First House of Perfection Year, from birth to the eve of your first birthday, 12, 24, 36, 48, and so on.
- Profection in the Second House Year, beginning with your first birthday and ending with your second birthday, 13, 25, 37, and so on.
- Year of the Third House, age 2, 14, 26, 38, etc.
- Year of the Fourth House, age 3, 15, 27, 39, 51…
- Year of the Fifth House, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet 16, sweet
- Year of the Sixth House, ages 5, 17, and 29,
- At the age of six, you are in the seventh house of perfection.
- At the age of seven, he is in his eighth year of house perfection.
- Year of Profection in the Ninth House, at the age of eight.
- At the age of nine, you are in the tenth house of perfection.
- Profection in the Eleventh House Year, age 10, age 22, age 34, age 46, and so forth.
- Year of the Twelfth House, age 11, age 23, age 34, age 47, etc.
The most crucial thing to know is your ascendant sign, also known as your rising sign, which indicates your first year. Now, let’s get started with a little guide to your house rulers…

Is your rising sign your first home?
Your Ascendant, or Rising Sign, is the Zodiac Sign that was “rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born.” It’s the technical word for the first house’s cusp in your horoscope. So it’s the dividing line between your 12th and 1st Houses. The ascendant is that.
Which planet is favorable in the first house?
The Aries sign rules the first house, and Mars is the lord of the first house. This is the finest house for Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Mars, and Mercury, although Venus and Saturn are underrepresented.
What does it imply if your first home is vacant?
Every house, like every zodiac sign, has its own ruler. For example, if you’re born under the sign of Sagittarius, your first house of self is naturally ruled by Sagittarius. (Rising symbol = first house.) It doesn’t imply you don’t have a sense of self if the house is vacant. When the first house is empty, you should look to the ruler, which in the case of a Sagittarius rising is Jupiter. Let’s say Jupiter is in the fourth house in the chart of a Sagittarius rising sign. This would connect the first house of self-interests to the fourth house of home, family, and private life. You’d also look at Jupiter’s sign in the fourth house for a more in-depth knowledge of the first house’s ruler.
The first house works in the same way as the others; each has its own king. I advocate considering old planetary rulerships instead of current planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto when looking for a house’s ruler because they seldom change signs. To grasp their significance, use Mars for your Scorpio-ruled house, Saturn for your Aquarius-ruled house, and Jupiter for your Pisces-ruled house. If you observe that your seventh house of relationships and partnerships is in your tenth house of career and public image, this indicates that you may have met a partner through your work or that your professional and love lives are inextricably linked. When house rulers are interpreted in this way, it’s easy to see how life, like astrology, merges together. The issues of life are frequently intertwined, and the dwellings act in the same way.
How do the houses of the zodiac work?
When it comes to astrology, it turns out that knowing your zodiac (or sun) sign is only the beginning. When it comes to deciphering your personal chart, planets, transits, elements, sun *and* moon signs, and houses all come into play, and it’s all very complex. Each house is controlled by a corresponding sign, and the entire zodiac wheel is made up of 12 signs, 12 houses, and 10 planets. Your birth chart is determined by the signs and houses in which the planets were at the time, place, and date of your birth. The zodiac signs and houses are both based on the Earth’s 24-hour revolution around its axis, but the zodiac is based on the sun’s yearly rotation around the Earth, while the houses are based on the Earth’s yearly rotation around its axis. The rising sign in the east becomes your first house at the moment of your birth.
What’s in the 7th house of my horoscope?
The 7th house, ruled by Libra, is concerned with relationships and how we conduct ourselves in them.
It is traditionally known as the house of marriage, but it governs all of our connections, including lovers, business partners, and even enemies.
“Unlike the 5th house, where sex, pleasure, and what we seek in another person reside, the 7th house is recognized as the house of marriage and committed or contractual partnering,” says astrologer Corina Crysler.
“It can also reveal what we require in our relationships, as well as the patterns we continue to have.”
