Each house in the Whole Signs House system starts at 0 degrees of the sign. If the Ascendant is 4 degrees Leo, the first house begins at 0 degrees Leo, the second house at 0 degrees Virgo, the third house at 0 degrees Libra, and so on. If you’re unsure, we recommend starting with the default generator and Placidus houses. You can use Whole Sign, Koch, Campanus, Equal, or others after studying astrology and playing with house systems, or you can stick with Placidus.

Is your first home the sun or the rising sun?
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.
Is your sun sign your primary astrological sign?
Your rising sign and moon sign reveal a lot about what makes you tick. They are determined not just by your birthday, but also by where you were born and when you were born. Simply said, your zodiac sign determines your personality. It’s your soul that’s at stake. Your emotional core is ruled by your moon sign. It’s your heart that’s the problem.
What is the name of 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.
What is the Sun Sign’s house?
When it comes to understanding your personality and particular gifts, your solar home is equally as essential as your Sun Sign. Simply put, the Sun’s House represents the portion of the sky through which the sun was traveling at the moment of your birth. Were you born about 10 a.m.? It’s most likely in the eleventh house. Were you born at dusk? The Sun was then discovered in the 7th house. Were you born about 12 a.m.? The sun would then be visible on the other side of the world, and thus in your 4th house, even if it would not be seen from where you were born (it’s the middle of the night!).
Who is the ruler of 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.
In astrology, what are your houses?
Every house system, which is also associated with a zodiac sign, is based on the rotating movement of the Earth on its axis, but there are a variety of methods for calculating house divisions, as well as differing viewpoints among astrologers about which house system is the most accurate. It is required to have the exact time, date, and place in order to compute the dwellings. If the exact time of birth is unknown, some astrologers would use a birth time set for noon or sunrise in natal astrology. However, a proper interpretation of such a chart is unlikely.
At the time and place of the horoscope in question, the houses are divisions of the ecliptic plane (a large circle containing the Sun’s orbit as seen from Earth). From the first house’s cusp, they are numbered counter-clockwise. Houses one through six are often below the horizon, whereas houses seven through twelve are typically above the horizon, but some systems may not adhere to this division totally (especially when the Ascendant does not coincide with the first house’s cusp).
House divisions are calculated in a variety of ways due to disagreements over what they mean mathematically (regarding space and time).
In Western astrology, all house systems use twelve houses projected on the ecliptic. The distinctions originate from the fact that the initial division is applied to a basic plane and whether the divisions represent units of time or degrees of distance.
What areas are governed by the first house?
In terms of body parts, the first house governs one’s head and face, as well as the areas of the mind that control conscious thought and activity. We’ll see later that the twelfth house, specifically the area near the Ascendant sign, governs the more intuitive portions of the intellect.
Our world is sharply focused on the Ascendant. This is why all planets connected to it have an impact on the body and are linked to nearly everything about the person. The local is using them to channel the energies of the planet.
Is everyone in the first house rising?
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.
