Houses 🕰

There are 12 houses. The rotation is counterclockwise. Each house has different traits and meanings. When you do a natal chart it tells you which sign and planet you’re in but you also need to know which house it’s in. That’s extremely important.

Example:

My Sun is in: Sagittarius 5th house

My Ascendent is in: Leo 1st house

My Moon is in: Pisces 8th house

The first six houses are “personal houses.” While the last six are “interpersonal houses.”

(Interpersonal- relating to relationships and communication between people)

Things to remember:

Your sun is the basic you (about yourself)

Your moon is the inner you (your heart)

Your rising is the outer you (the “mask” you put on, how people see you)

The first house is where you will find your rising sign. The rising sign is also known as the ascendent.
