Questions through the Houses/Signs
Each house is considered to be ruled by one of the signs. For instance, the seventh house, our house of relationships and partnerships, is ruled by Libra, who is known to be fair and just and considers everyone's feelings before making decisions. Librans are very relationship-focused by nature, which makes Libra the best ruler for House 7. Using another example, Aries people are very assertive, eager to start new projects, and motivated by action. It makes sense for Aries to rule House 1, which is the house that begins the journey and is the first impression that the world sees of us. For each house/sign below, I've attached questions that will help you better understand the feeling and message behind each house and sign, and what each represents in your birth chart. And of course, the placements of each will be open to your own interpretation. I will use my own chart as an example. I am a Gemini Ascendent or Rising, which means I have the sign of Gemini placed in my first house in my birth chart. This means that in my life, my personality is very influenced by Gemini traits. My natural approach to life is to see all sides of things, the many facets to problems, both sides of an argument. I like to play devil's advocate. I use my logic and intelligence to consider issues. I use my natural curiosity to solve problems. I am communicative, and I get along well socially with others. Consider the questions below and how your birth chart reveals the journey of your own life. House 1 / Aries: Who am I? What are my likes and dislikes? How do I express myself in the world?
