The houses role in Astrology 1 ✨
& a breakdown of the modalities, elements, 4 sections of the chart, & the MC, ASC, DC, & IC.
If you’ve never really seen what a house wheel looks like, it basically looks like a giant pizza. This wheel rotates on a 24 hour rotation and shifts every few minutes which is why it so heavily relies on your accurate birth time. Anyway, there are 12 sections, known as houses, that make up this wheel and each house corresponds with one of the 12 zodiacs. These houses are basically the “area of life” within astrology which we will get further into as we go through each one. Part 2 here.
✨House 1: The house of Aries
The first house, otherwise known as the Ascendant (ASC) or “rising” sign, is the house of the self and the first impression in life. It represents not only the individuals physical body but also ones self identity, self image, & self awareness. Info on the Ascendant here.
✨House 2: The house of Taurus
Where the first house speaks to self image and self identity, the second house speaks to what it is you value in life which in turn links to your self esteem. It is the house that rules possessions, material items, how you spend and make your money, and other “values” that may or may not be physical. Info on the 2nd house here.
✨House 3: The house of Gemini
The third house is the house of networking, communication, & your connection and relationship with your siblings & coworkers, short distance travel (day to day & short trips), transportation, and “lower education.” Anything in regards to communication (social media, technology, etc) are all areas of the 3rd house. Info on the 3rd house here.
✨House 4: The house of Cancer
The fourth house, otherwise known as the Imun Colei (IC), is the house of the maternal figure (mother, femininity), the home and domesticity, as well as your childhood & “roots.” This house is also linked to the idea of death & the “resting place.” Info on the 4th house here.
