When you look at your chart, you’ll see a circle divided into 12 distinct sectors, each with its own set of zodiac symbols and connecting lines. I see why that appears to be perplexing. Let’s start with the 12 dwellings, which are divided into 12 divisions. Each house is ruled by a zodiac sign and planet, albeit they are unlikely to coincide in your individual horoscope. The houses indicate which aspects of your life will be affected by a planet’s energies, such as your identity, career, love, or relationships. The 1st house, for example, is ruled by Mars and Aries, and it represents your personal drive and individuality. This house describes your distinct characteristics and why certain events occur to you, whether you are a Leo or a Gemini Rising.

How do I find houses on my 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.
Does Libra rule the 7th house?
Libra is the sign that rules the seventh house. Libra’s zodiac sign aids in the understanding of marriage phrases such as fairness, justice, collaboration, and love.
Marriage is a legal contract with certain duties and functions, as well as a holy sacrament.
When people marry, they are also given rights that non-married people do not enjoy.
You don’t have to be married to have a seventh house partnership, or even to have a long-term relationship.
What house is my Libra rising?
I’m going to break down each rising sign and each house in your chart in this series based on the rising sign. I’ll be using complete sign houses, which is a house system in which each sign is its own home.
Actually, this is more of a synthesis than a breakdown. When you look at everything on a chart separately and dissected, you’re not going to get much of a narrative about the whole thing. You can have a better understanding of the complete chart by connecting each house to your rising sign.
If you’re not already using whole sign houses to comprehend your chart, I strongly advise you to do so. While Placidus is still the most widely used house system, it is more applicable to electional astrology than utilizing your natal chart to understand your own motivations. When using astrology to develop self-awareness, whole sign houses are more relevant.
Libra Rising, Aries Descending: Seeking bad girls
Every preconception about Libra claims that it is a conflict avoidant sign, and that the scales are only trying to find an equilibrium by balancing out all the difficulties. However! On the descendant of Libra risings is Aries. Psych! People born under the sign of Aries are drawn to conflict and will frequently create it just to have something to resolve. Peacemakers are Libra rising signs. That is, they prefer to be in a situation where peace must be reached. Libra is the sign of love strife.
Libra risings, on the other hand, do not appear to be persons who enjoy causing controversy due to the ascendant Libra. Libras have a reputation for being quite rational and understanding. They appear to be folks who can always take a step back and think things through calmly. This type of individual only appears when there are hot-button issues that everyone is getting worked up about.
Because Libra risings have Aries in their seventh house, they may seek out partners with problems they can fix. They might be on the lookout for persons who always seem to be in trouble, such as bad boys and bad girls. Libra risings are looking for images that normalize or domesticate the negative aspects of their personalities. The bads, on the other hand, refuse to be corrected! Libra risings must understand that not everyone wants their problems solved, and that attempting to do so frequently brings up difficulties of control. More on this in the section on the fourth and tenth houses.
Scorpio Second House, Taurus Eighth House: Don’t move away
The signs Taurus and Scorpio are associated with the Moon. These symbols are associated with withholding, needing, and receiving. Libra risings with Taurus in the ninth house may have a tendency to latch on to other people’s emotional difficulties. They may become emotionally linked to a scenario that someone else is going through and nearly refuse to let that person go because moving on would mean that the individual would change, their dynamic would shift, and relationships would be gone.
This suggests that Libra rising requires consistency in relationships in order to feel comfortable. They may require minor rituals, private jokes, or pet names to remain consistent so that they may return to them even when their lives change. When they don’t have this kind of security, Libra risings can compensate by trying to compel themselves and their loved ones to stay put, to restrain everyone from moving on with their lives because they’re afraid of losing touch. Libra risings may feel pressured to live up to a lot of emotional demands in their relationships because Taurus is the sign of the Moon’s exaltation.
The Scorpio second house complicates this inclination to cling to the same social roles. The material that is imposed on you, whether you want it or not, is in the second home. Libra rising is required to adapt whether they like it or not, according to Scorpio. They’re folks who frequently feel as if they’re being dragged along in life by forces beyond their control. They may feel compelled to change more than they are prepared for, and in ways that are more extreme than they desire.
When Libra risings are feeling uneasy, they may choose to hide their genuine feelings by repeating the social roles they’ve already learnt to remain safe. By establishing their self-worth and ability to evolve, Scorpios have been challenged to find security through the type of change that frequently feels like chaos. Libra risings will be able to shatter the expectations they thought they had to live up to and emerge strong and unafraid when they do so.
Sagittarius Third House, Gemini Ninth House: Change my mind
Libras with ascending signs have strong opinions! They don’t hold back! Libra risings aren’t here to loop around the truth and come back because Sagittarius is in the third house. They speak exactly what they think and are brutally honest about it.
The Gemini ninth house indicates that they will not pander to you and will simply nod and agree with whatever the loudest person in the room says. Mercury rules Gemini, which is a cynical sign. Libra risings will frequently go against the room’s dominant position in order to create some disruption. Libra risings become enthralled when there is a conflict. Remember that Libra rising isn’t a sign that seeks perfection in terms of harmony or serenity. It’s a sign that will frequently cause discord or trouble merely to have something to harmonize with.
Libra risings with Sagittarius and Gemini placements may find it difficult to make up their minds about anything. Even if they are adamantly political, they aren’t about to align themselves with any particular political viewpoint. Instead, they’re continuously on the lookout for something to doubt. They would rather engage in several levels of discourse than pick one and stick with it all the time. Whatever it is that a Libra rising supports, whether it is a movement or a political party, they will always, always have some criticisms to offer. They feel that criticizing a cause in order to improve it is the best way to support it.
Capricorn Fourth House, Cancer Tenth House: Held emotionally hostage
Capricorn’s position at the bottom of the horoscope is all about overcoming obstacles. Again, Libra energy isn’t so much about avoiding conflict as it is about embracing it. Mars is exalted in the sign of Capricorn. Because Capricorn rules the fourth house, Libra risings fare well when confronted with challenges.
Cancer and Capricorn are both significators of control. The rising sign’s fourth and tenth houses always cross the signs on the horizon, indicating that these are the key difficulties that the rising sign must resolve. Libra risings are dealing with concerns of control in the fourth and tenth houses of Cancer and Capricorn, respectively.
With Cancer in the tenth house, Libra risings are compelled to take on roles that need them to do a lot of caring for others. They may feel obligated to be that buddy who is always there for others, the one who prepares for everyone, and the one who brings people together. This is a huge undertaking. Because labor is often taken for granted and disregarded, Mars is in Cancer this month.
Libra risings with Capricorn in the fourth house will never yield as much as they appear to.
And Libra risings are concerned! They genuinely do! However, the fact that Cancer is at the top of the chart suggests that they may have been in circumstances where individuals utilized caretaking to exert control over them, holding them emotionally hostage. The fourth/tenth house issue for Cancer and Capricorn is to develop ways to care without fueling emotional manipulation techniques. It’s all about putting a human face on caring. Libra risings will have to shatter a lot of their own stereotypes about what a nice, loving person looks like and does as a result of this reality.
Aquarius Fifth House, Leo Eleventh House: Band of misfits
The fifth house deals with pleasure, and Libra rising is a tad chilly when it comes to pleasure since Aquarius, the sign in which the Sun finds its detriment, is in the fifth house. Libra risings don’t feel the urge to scream in delight or demand it fervently. Aquarius is a logical sign. Libra risings must earn their joy, either through through work or planning. They may struggle to understand what pleasure entails at times. They may overthink things or believe that they are not permitted to enjoy the same pleasures as others for whatever reason.
Libra risings are able to discover pleasure in others because Leo rules the eleventh house. Libra risings frequently require societal validation of their sources of pleasure before they can understand and enjoy them. To Libra risings, pleasure will always look like a rebellion in Aquarius fifth house. It always appears to be something that nice people fail to do. Libra risings are able to have fun when they meet their peoplepeople who like the same things they do and embrace the ways they find pleasure.
On the other hand, because of the Leo eleventh house, many individuals who know Libra rising may believe that this person is all about letting loose and having fun when, in fact, that is not the case. Even though the Leo eleventh house wants Libra risings to be accepted, their demand for approval stems from their peculiarity. Libra risings are oddballs who like oddballs, which is why they want to be accepted. They don’t try to fit in because they want to please others, though that may be a factor. They want to fit in because they frequently feel isolated and as if no one would ever truly understand them. Libras who are rising want to be social kings or queens. They’re on the lookout for their own ragtag group of misfits.
Pisces Sixth House, Virgo Twelfth House: Will I ever be good enough to begin?
Libra risings can be perfectionists, as Virgo in the twelfth house is such a self-critical placement. A common attribute of someone with Virgo in the twelfth house and Pisces in the sixth is that they never start tasks because they believe the idea is never perfect enough to begin with. Libra risings may feel as if they’re never ready to begin doing the things they’re destined to do, as if they’re works in progress that never start because they never actually start. Pisces seeks both huge and exquisite ideas. With Pisces in the sixth house, the labor itself may never feel good enough to begin. Virgo in the twelfth house is like a critical voice within your head. It always informs Libra rising of the areas where they should improve.
Pisces is also the sign of Venus’ exaltation, which is the ruler of Libra rising’s chart. Because Pisces is in the sixth house, Libra risings gain a lot of respect for their work. Libra risings must overcome insecurities about what good labor or excellent work looks like to acquire such awards because Virgo, the sign of Venus’ fall, is in the eleventh house. They must counter the critic’s voice in their heads by figuring out how to start anything even if it isn’t perfect, because no endeavor is ever perfect, especially in the early phases.
What is my Profection year?
Annual profections are a timing approach that identifies a certain section of your birth chart that is turned on once you reach a certain age.
- For example, you begin your first house year the moment you are born (aka the same sign as your rising sign, which correlates to the self and the body). You enter a second house year when you reach your first birthday; when you turn two, you enter a third house year, and so on. One thing to keep in mind with annual profections is that they follow the astrological houses of your birth chart in order, so after you reach your 12th year, you will be automatically returned to a first house year.
Every year on your birthday, you shift into a new profection, and the issues of the house linked with your age become accentuated for the duration of that period. As a result, many people find the ages of 19 (an eighth house year, ruler of birth, taboos, and metamorphosis) and 23 (a 12th house year, ruler of dreams, secrets, and emotions) to be challenging.
What is my seventh house?
The 7th house, ruled by Libra, is concerned with relationships and how we conduct ourselves in them.
It is often 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.”
What is my 10th house?
“The 10th house of one’s birth chart is the midheaven,” astrologer Lisa Stardust tells Refinery29. “It represents our public persona, social standing, and professional ambitions. It also outlines our life’s purpose and what we may contribute to society.”
How do I know what planet is in my first house?
You’ll see that your birth chart is round and shaped like a pie if you read it. That pie is divided into two wheels of overlapping slices, one wheel representing the 12 astrological houses we’re discussing. Because the cusp of the first house of anyone’s chart is approximately 9 o’clock, these slices will always be in roughly the same spot. The 12 zodiac signs are represented by the second set of overlapping slices in a birth chart, and this might look different for everyone. The sign that rules that house in your personal chart is whatever sign-slice the cusp of each house-slice falls into. (Note: In the diagram above, the signs are precisely aligned with the residences, but this is rare in real life!)
The 12 houses are thought to symbolize all aspects of one’s life and experience when taken together. Homes one through six are known as your “personal houses,” or houses centered on yourself, while houses seven through twelve are known as your “interpersonal houses,” or houses centered on your relationship with the world around you. You’ll see a thematic journey growing outward as you progress through the house system and their implications, from your personal inner world to your transcendent and interpersonal relationship to the outside world. Houses, unlike planets and signs, do not represent a specific form of energy; rather, they provide context for the landscapes in which the planets and signs interact in our lives.
Each house has its own natural planetary ruler and sign, which is likely to be different from yours. The first house of the zodiac, for example, is naturally controlled by the sign Aries and is linked to the planet Mars. However, it may easily be in the sign of Libra in your own horoscope, housing the planets Mercury and Jupiter. Does that make sense?
It’s useful to know what each astrological house represents, but keep in mind that you’ll need to study your birth chart to find out what that area looks like for you (which you can calculate online for free, so long as you have your exact birth date, time, and place). If all of this seems overwhelming, a professional astrologer can assist you in navigating your birth chart and comprehending the houses, as well as the signs and planets that reside in each of them.
Let’s have a look around the astrological open house, shall we? These are the basic astrological meanings for each of the 12 houses.
What house is your Chiron in?
Chiron is an asteroid that orbits our solar system between Uranus and Saturn and is known as “the wounded healer.” “It’s been proposed that Chiron be categorized as a dwarf planet, which is what Pluto is today,” says Natalia Benson, astrologer and women’s empowerment coach who wrote the new astrology-inspired memoir Mystical AF. “Its placement in your chart allows you to learn about and understand your deeper hurts, as well as the karmic, past-life energies you’re here to work with in order to grow and evolve.”
“Chiron’s position in your horoscope is where you can learn more about your deeper scars, as well as the karmic, past-life energies you’re here to work with in order to grow and evolve.” Natalia Benson, astrologer
Chiron, like every other planet in your natal chartsuch as the sun or the moonwas in a specific zodiac sign and astrological house when you were born. These two placementsthat is, which natal house and zodiac sign Chiron is ininform you about your most serious wounds and how to cure them. Benson’s natal Chiron, for example, is in Gemini, the sign of communication, in the fifth house of creativity, as she writes in Mystical AF. It’s also making contact with her natal Mars, the masculine energy planet. “I used to get bullied by boys for the way I looked when I was younger, and I still had a lot of troubles with men in my thirties,” she says.
Aries Rising/Libra Descendant
Aries is a self-centered sign, so they’ll be on the lookout for someone who cares about people other than themselves.
“You admire principles like fearlessness as an independent and freedom-loving sign like Aries,” Marmanides explains. “With Libra as your Descendant, you seek a companion who is courageous enough to desire partnership, despite the fact that you are aware of how fragile emotional commitment may make you. It’s about desiring someone who isn’t frightened to fall in love.”
What is the 8th house?
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.
