Everyone has a unique birth chart and, as a result, a unique house system based on their ascendant, or rising sign. The ascendant is the position of the sun on the horizon when you were born in relation to where you were on the earth (pretty cool, huh). You’ll need to know your birth time because we’re looking at the exact minute you were born. So, if you haven’t already, pull out your phone and text your mother for your due date.
The houses move counterclockwise around your chart, starting with your ascendant. Each of the 12 houses of astrology is typically ruled by a zodiac sign, with Aries ruling the first house, Taurus ruling the second, Gemini ruling the third, and so on.
However, depending on which zodiac sign controls your first house, each of these houses will be ruled by a different sign in your birth chart, unless it is ruled by Aries, in which case your houses will fall into the twelve houses of their conventional rulerships!
If you look at your chart right now, you’ll note that several planets are crowded in just a few of the houses, while others are vacant. Don’t worry, it’s quite normal!
The majority of our horoscopes prefer certain houses over others. Even if there are no planets in a house, it’s still vital to know which sign rules it since it will reveal how you relate to that aspect of your life.
Now let’s look at what each house represents and what each house covers, so scroll down to learn about the different types of rooms the planets inhabit in your birth chart!

The 1st House: Self-Image
Consider it a large walk-in closet with plenty of mirrors (we’re talking about a fantasy walk-in closet here).
This is your home, sweetheart! On the western horizon of your chart, the first house is where the zodiac wheel begins. It is the start of your personality as well as the start of the personal houses (houses 1-6), which inform us about our identity and personal development. While the sun sign reveals our most fundamental self, the first house reveals more about how we see ourselves and the world.
Our rising sign is the zodiac sign that dominates this house, and it’s interesting to note that it might predict some aspects of our physical appearance (genetics allowing). Libra risings are recognized for having symmetrical faces, Scorpio risings are known for having naturally dark or red hair, Sagittarius risings are known for having strong, attractive legs, and so on.
The 2nd House: Self-Worth and Money
This dwelling can be compared to a solarium with plants or a safe where valuables in your home are hidden.
The second house is all about the tangible world of what we can hold in our hands, possess, and do with it. Money, personal resources, and tangible goods naturally fall under the second house’s control, but the concept of worth extends beyond what we can hold in our hands, so we can learn a lot about ourselves under this house. Look at your second house to determine what zodiac sign rules it for a boost in self-esteem; the positive qualities of that sign are ones you’ll want to lean into in this life.
The sign that rules this house in your horoscope might reveal information about your own economics and how you will gain money throughout your lifetime, as well as which aspects of yourself you should nourish to feel more valuable.
The 3rd House: Communication
Depending on the sign that rules the third house in your horoscope, this house can feel like a library or a bustling kitchen.
The house of the intellect and early education is the third house. This is the way we think and communicate, the quality of our thoughts and how quickly we think them. So, for some, this house is like curling up in a nice cozy chair and reading a book, while for others, it’s like that moment when you don’t say a word but your sister or cousin understands exactly what you’re thinking.
The home sign might reveal whether or not we have a good memory, if we are nostalgic, worried, set in our ways, open to change, and so on.
What is the first house of Aries?
Initial Thoughts Jupiter in Aries, or the First House, indicates that you come on strong and make an immediate impression on those you meet. You can be confident, but other factors in your chart will moderate your confidence. Jupiter is the super-sizer, while Aries is the self-centered sign.
What is the sign of the 12th house in my horoscope?
According to Astrology, the 12th house is known as the House of the Unconscious.
The 12th house, ruled by the zodiac sign Pisces and the planet Neptune, typically incorporates one’s subconscious fears, secrets, and dreams.
Because of its enigmatic character, the 12th house might be regarded as a potentially harmful one, including aspects of oneself that one may wish to ignore or conceal.
Those with planet placements in the 12th house, according to Allure, are frequently very perceptive or have psychic talents.
How do I figure out which Astrology house I’m in?
Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house” before? 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!

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 impulsive purchasing (as seen by my unneeded yet necessary sneaker 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 finicky and toughest to pin down even a few minutes difference in your birth time might yield varied consequences. 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 made me feel empowered to get a septum piercing even though my friends felt it would be too “strange” even though my friends said it would be too “weird.”
What kind of person should an Aries marry?
Libra (opposites attract), Sagittarius, and Leo are the most compatible signs for Aries in friendship and romantic relationships (fellow fire signs will speak their same passionate language).
What color is Aries’ favorite?
Aries (March 21 April 19) is the first sign of the zodiac. Red is the power color for Aries. Red is the color of passion, courage, and excitement, so it’s no surprise that a fire sign like yours thrives when surrounded by it.
In Harry Potter, what house does Aries belong to?
When it comes to choosing the ultimate Hogwarts house, Aries has just one choice: Gryffindor. They’re born leaders who thrive on taking on new challenges, which perfectly describes Harry and his fellow Gryffindors.
An Aries would find himself in Gryffindor surrounded by like-minded people who are tough, fiery, outgoing, and ready to take on the world.
What is the 8th house in your horoscope?
The eighth house in astrology is ruled by the zodiac sign Scorpio and the planet Pluto. It’s thought to be the home of sex, taboos, death, resurrection, and other people’s belongings. From these broad categories, we can deduce that it also governs legacies, heritages, and wills. Similarly, the eighth house is one of the portals into the spiritual realm, and it is often associated with occult and magic.
When it comes to teaching us about life and its purpose, the eighth house is one of the best lecturers. It’s the realm of life-changing encounters.
What is the 12th house in Aries?
When the twelfth house is in the sign of Aries, it is nearly always a sign that a person’s life will be marked by issues with proper boundaries. Others will enter their world as though they lack the membranes that allow them to recognize and defend themselves against people who steal their energy. They’ll have to do it eventually “Remember what it was like to follow their passions, fight for their rights, rage at others when the situation demanded it, and be honest about all that was on their minds? While Aries would like to have a certain goal and aim all its energy towards it, this energy seems to get bended here only to end up in a strange subconscious state where it is neither manifested nor used. This is a position that reflects a previous existence that ended in aggressiveness, whether in the army or from fire weapons, sharp items, or most commonly, both “Before one’s time,” says the narrator.
