Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.

What’s the best way to figure out which astrological house you’re in?
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 do astrological placements mean?
Planetary placements, or where a given planet was when you were born based on your geographic location, are included in natal charts. The planets are represented on natal charts by glyphs, and while there are other variants of these glyphs, the one seen here is the most common. These planets and their positions have a lot of meaning since they reflect different facets of your personality. When an astrologer says things like “your Venus is in Gemini” or “your Venus sign is Gemini,” they’re referring to the fact that a particular star sign (in this case, Gemini) influences whatever personality attribute the planet (Venus) is associated with.
What method do you use to determine your rising sign?
Then, drum roll, please, we’ll get to the last of the major three puzzle pieces! Because it determines where your natal chart begins, your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, is incredibly essential in your birth chart. It’ll be the line at the 9 a.m. position of the circle if you’re searching for it on your chart. This Rising Sign is related to your First House, which is concerned with how others view you and how you connect with the outside world.
Knowing your time of birth (together with your place, date, and year) is essential for determining your Rising sign since it tells which zodiac sign the Sun was rising in on the eastern horizon. We say in esoteric astrology that the instant you took your first breath, you became you and your soul entered your body. Isn’t that interesting? My mind has been blown.
So, consider of your Rising sign as the mask you put on when you interact with the outside world. It typically reveals information about your own style, appearance, and even how you partner and interact with others. That’s why, if your Sun sign isn’t quite describing your personality as effectively as you’d want, it’s extremely probable that your Rising sign is taking center stage! Our Rising signs are highly strong, frequently revealing the patterns we are now experiencing.
That is why, in all horoscopes, I always advise you to read for both your Sun and Rising signs, as they will disclose the predictions and path you are on when read together.
What is the order of the zodiac signs?
The zodiac is a belt-shaped section of the sky that stretches approximately 8 degrees north or south of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year (as measured in celestial latitude). The Moon’s and visible planets’ courses are all within the zodiac belt.
The zodiac is divided into twelve signs in Western astrology, and formerly astronomy: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 degrees of celestial longitude and roughly corresponds to the star constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
These astrological signs make up a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically, an ecliptic coordinate system, in which the ecliptic serves as the origin of latitude and the vernal equinox serves as the origin of longitude.
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.”
What is a Gemini’s zodiac sign?
Gemini is the third of the zodiac’s 12 signs, and it begins its cycle in late spring, around May 21-June 20, during Gemini season.
In astrology, what are strong placements?
Having planets in angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th) is definitely one of the most important indicators of accidental dignity. However, there are a few other characteristics to keep an eye out for when determining whether you have dominant or powerful placements:
- Planets in powerful positions in the chart: In addition to the angular houses, the 11th and 5th houses are also thought to be excellent locations for planets. In the birth chart, planets near the Ascendant or Midheaven (which can be found anywhere in the top half of the chart) are also very essential and impactful.
- Planets in “joy”: Each planet in the chart has a “favourite house,” which is the location of that planet’s delight. A planet in joy will be generally joyful, yet this will not negate other astrological data, such as when the planet is in a sign it dislikes. Sun in the 9th, Moon in the 3rd, Mercury in the 1st, Venus in the 5th, Mars in the 6th, Jupiter in the 11th, and Saturn in the 12th are the planets’ delights.
- Planets in the Sun’s Heart: There’s something remarkable that happens to a planet when it’s near to the Sun, which is perhaps worth a full blog entry in and of itself. If you’re already familiar with the phrases combustion and cazimi, you should know that a cazimi planet (i.e.
What is Libra’s zodiac sign?
Libra is the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it begins its cycle in early autumn each year during Libra season, which runs from September 23 to October 22.
