The first house determines the appearance and behavior, height, build and gait. He is responsible for the style, the choice of image, clothes, hairstyles, the choice of hair color and even the color of contact lenses. The indicators of the First House, its content and its connections are of particular importance in choosing a profession, especially in the area where external data, physical features, height, weight are of decisive importance. Physical indicators and physical activity, determined by the First House, will determine the propensity for a particular sport.

All elements of the 1st house affect the appearance: the zodiac sign in the 1st house, the planets of the 1st house and their aspects, the rulers of the 1st house and their aspects. Knowledge of the astrological influences on appearance is extremely important for the practicing astrologer. It allows you to check the correctness of the time of birth, and also provides decisive assistance in establishing it in the case when the time is not known at all.

The main assistant in is the ascending zodiac sign (ascendant).

It greatly affects the appearance and behavior. The natural color of hair and eyes is mainly determined by genes. Among the pure representatives of the yellow and black races, we see only brunettes with brown eyes. However, hair color can be changed by dyeing, and eye color can be changed by the color of contact lenses. And, choosing a new color of hair or eyes, a person acts in accordance with his Ascendant.

It should be noted the erroneous opinion prevailing among amateurs that the ascending zodiac sign determines the content of the subject's characteristic statements and even his worldview. This is not true. The first house determines only external manifestations, but by no means internal content. The utterance is the result of mental activity that has nothing to do with the 1st house. Given this point, it is important not to miss what is really determined by the 1st house: the manner of speaking, the speed of speech, articulation, facial expressions and gestures.

Every practicing astrologer must learn to determine the ascending zodiac sign, and, consequently, the hour of birth of the subject in appearance and behavior. The following is a technique to facilitate this process.

Determining the rising sign by appearance

First of all, it should be determined whether the rising sign belongs to the male or female group of zodiac signs.

Male rising signs give growth, as a rule, above average, long limbs, elongated face. The gait is energetic, the movements are fast. A person is open to communication, frank, sincere, does not hide what he thinks, loves when attention is paid to him. tends to smile. The smile is open.

Female rising signs give growth, as a rule, below average, short limbs, rounded or square face. The behavior is reserved or secretive, the gait is not energetic. A person is not inclined to say what he thinks, but prefers to keep it to himself, does not like to be in the center of everyone's attention. A rare smile bears the stamp of restraint or shyness, but can be ironic.

After identifying belonging to a male or female rising sign, one should begin to determine the elements of the Ascendant.

The male signs include the signs of Fire and Air.

The fiery rising sign gives, as a rule, broad shoulders, a large physique, large facial features, a penchant for playing sports. Such subjects are energetic, speak loudly, seize the initiative in conversation, tend to monologue, strive to be in the center of attention, occupy a leading position in the company. They are frank in their statements, always say what they think, even when they are not talking about it. they ask. The smile is open.

Subjects are sincere, say what they think, but do not impose their views, have an easy character, are sociable, and are inclined to dialogue. They are not as energetic as they are excitable, their energy is less than that of representatives of the fire element. They like to be in the spotlight, but they do not fight for this position. The smile is friendly.

The female signs include the signs of Water and Earth.

Water rising sign gives rounded build, arms and legs may be shorter than usual. By nature, these subjects are emotional, they hide thoughts, but do not hide feelings, they are prone to tantrums and violent emotional manifestations, they love a heart-to-heart conversation. They do not like to attract everyone's attention. The smile is shy or ironic.

Earth rising sign gives, as a rule, a square physique or a square-shaped head, short limbs. The subject is slow, reserved, taciturn and a little emotional, not frank in his statements. Doesn't want to be the center of attention. Rarely smiles..

After the element of the rising sign is determined, you can proceed to the establishment of a specific sign on the Ascendant.

fingers can tremble, then Gemini drums them on the table, shaking his leg at the same time. When walking, he swings his arms and sways from side to side. He is talkative, sometimes even chatty, knows how to joke and appreciates humor.

A distinctive feature of statements is gravitas with a characteristic reticence. Speech is distinguished by monotony, intonational uniformity and the absence of pauses.

Other influences on appearance and build

An important characteristic, determined by field I, is growth. It is known from anatomy that growth is determined primarily by the length of the legs. And it depends on the zodiac sign in the 1st house. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that the human body can be schematically represented in the 1st house so that the crown of the head becomes the Ascendant, and the end of the 1st house and the cusp of the 2nd house indicate the feet. Therefore, the length of the legs, which affects growth, depends on the zodiacal a sign located in the second half of the 1st house (of course, if the 1st house occupies two signs). If there is only one sign in the 1st house, it will determine both the length of the legs and the height in general.

Consequently, high growth is determined by the male sign not on the Ascendant, but in the second half of the 1st house. Accordingly, if in the second half of the 1st house there is a female sign, the legs will be shorter, and the height will be smaller.

The position of the owner of the Ascendant in the natal chart also affects the growth. In odd-numbered houses, it increases growth, and in even-numbered houses, it decreases.

The influence of planets on external behavior and physical data

In addition to these factors, the appearance and character are influenced by the planets in the 1st house, as well as the aspects of the planets to the elements of the 1st house. In this case, the essential nature of the planets appears in a pure, undistorted form. The descriptions of the influence of the planets below are based on the analysis of a large number of horoscopes. The above characteristics are partly well known to the reader, but in some details they may cause protest due to inconsistency with established clichés.

Pluto influencing the 1st house, gives activity, initiative, quick reaction, increases personal attractiveness and self-confidence. It adds redness and splendor to the hair, enlarges the nose, making it exceptionally individual.

Tense aspects of Pluto give the instinct of the conqueror and tamer, and sometimes the enslaver. Manners are devoid of softness, they are characterized by clarity, turning into straightforwardness.

From the book: "Analysis of the Horoscope" and lectures

The sign of the ascendant always determines how other people see us, and what impression we make on them with our personality. It is worth getting to know and chat with a person closer and you understand that a lot of other things are hidden behind the external facade.

Here is a sweet intelligent woman full of modest dignity. She is the branch manager of a large bank. She keeps everything organized at work. Everywhere order and cleanliness. The manager knows everything about his employees, arrives at work before everyone else and leaves last. Caring. Strict but fair. Does not miss a single detail in the workflow. Everyone is sure that she is an exemplary wife and mother. This is how the ascendant in Virgo manifests itself.

But appearances are often deceiving. In fact, the woman has the Sun in Sagittarius and she still has not officially married the father of her child, with whom she has been living for more than twelve years thanks to her Venus in Capricorn. Constantly quarrels with relatives, in which Mars successfully helps her in the third house of the horoscope. And often in the evenings she cannot fall asleep, instigated by such a moving Moon in Pisces, without drinking fifty or even one hundred grams of cognac. But outwardly, this woman looks like no one will ever think that she cries into her pillow at night and indulges in fantasies that abound in romance novels.

Remember! Your ascendant is what the world sees. You may be a modest person with an ascendant in the last five degrees of Leo, but many will mistake you for the boss or head of a holiday agency. Or it may also happen that a person will be obsessed with family and tradition issues and easily get upset at the slightest ill will from the vibrations of his Moon in Cancer, but no one will notice and believe this, because all these internal fluctuations will be covered by an external facade - the ascendant in.

The signs of the zodiac do not stop for a second. One sign rises in the east, the other sets in the west. A sign rising in the east is called an ascending sign. The ascendant is the rising point where the ecliptic meets the horizon. It is determined by a formula whose parameters include the local sidereal time LST (s) and the latitude of the place. Sidereal time is calculated by the formula:

s = S0 + l + UT + UT * m,

where l is the longitude of the place, UT is the universal time, m = 0.002737909 is the coefficient that takes into account the difference in the speed of sidereal time from solar time. S0 - sidereal time at Greenwich midnight - is given in the ephemeris tables, but you can also calculate it yourself using the formula:

S0 = 6.6460656 + 2400.051262 * T + 0.00002581 * T2.

The point opposite the ascending sign on the western horizon is defined as the descendant - the descending sign.

A person can have any solar sign of the Zodiac, but they will always meet him on the ascendant. Absolutely anyone can rise above the horizon at the time of your birth. The degree of the rising sign changes every four minutes. The ascendant indicates the outer side of the personality of the individual and creates the very first impression that the individual makes on others. Usually this is the first five to ten minutes. Remember this.

When drawing up a horoscope, it is important to know how the planets were located relative to the horizon at the time of birth.

The eastern point of the horoscope is called the Ascendant, the western one is the Descendant, the Zenith point is MC (Medium Coeli - Middle of the sky), and the opposite point, located under the horizon line, or Nadir - IC (Imum Coeli - Lower point of the sky).

If we turn the horoscope in such a way that the Ascendant is on the left and the Descendant is on the right, then this will be the horizon line, and the Sun in the horoscope will be at the same point as at the time of birth. In a person born at dawn, the Sun is on the left, i.e. on the Ascendant, born at noon - the Sun is above, on the MC. Those born at sunset have the Sun on the right, on the Descendant, and those born at midnight have the Sun below, on IC. This must be taken into account in order to check whether the astrological houses are correctly calculated.

The horoscope is divided into 12 astrological houses.cusp(or pinnacle) of the astrological house is the beginning of the house. Ascendant is the top of the 1st house. Ascending zodiac sign is a sign on the Ascendant.

By the way, I advise beginners to take an interest not only in the Ascendant, the study of which has now become very popular, but at the same time in the Descendant, which describes your partner. Well, and, of course, other astrological houses.

Houses are indicated by Roman numerals, but in recent years, ordinary Arabic numerals have also been used for convenience.

Astrological houses:

I house (Ascendant, Sunrise): Appearance, style of behavior, name, self-awareness, circumstances of birth.

II house: Stock of vital energy, earned money.

III house: Communication with the immediate environment (brothers and sisters, neighbors, classmates), short trips, primary education.

IV house (IC, Imum Coeli - Lower point of the sky, Nadir): House, family, real estate.

V house: Children, free time, hobbies and entertainment.

VI house: Work, health care, pets.

VII house (Descendant, Sunset): Type of partnership, characteristics of a partner or opponent.

VIII house: Crises, operations, capital turnover, relations with the other world.

IX house: Worldview, philosophy, religion, higher education, long-distance travel.

X house (MC, Medium Coeli - Midheaven, Zenith): Career, fame, life calling.

XI house: Friends, interest groups.

XII house: Conscience, spirituality, hospitals, psyche.

Astrological houses are opposite each other. Therefore, in the Tables of Houses, only one house from each pair of astrological houses is usually indicated, and you can determine the second one yourself - it is in the same degree of the opposite sign of the Zodiac (for the location of the signs of the Zodiac, see Part 2. Signs of the Zodiac. Planets). Pairs of astrological houses:

Ascendant (1st house) – Descendant (7th house)

2nd house - 8th house

3rd house - 9th house

MC (10th house) - IC (4th house)

11th house - 5th house

12th house - 6th house

For the interpretation of the astrological house, it is important:

• What sign of the zodiac is the house cusp in?
• what other signs of the Zodiac are in the same house (but these signs are somewhat less important),
• what planets are in this astrological house,
• in what house is the planet - the ruler of this house (the planet that controls the sign of the Zodiac in which the cusp of the house is located) and how it is aspected.

I advise you to independently study such topics - Astrological houses. Houses in the signs of the zodiac. Planets in houses.

Calculation of astrological houses

Usually, we use a ready-made computer program to calculate astrological houses (we talked about this in part 3), but every astrologer should be able to do calculations using tables.

So, you will need the Placidus House Tables (The American book of Tables, Placidus book of tables by Neil F. Michelsen.), as well as the Ephemerides.

Let's calculate the astrological houses for September 6, 1982, GMT 11 hours 35 minutes, Tula.

Before using the Tables of Houses, we will need to add three numbers.

1. The first term is GMT. We already know it, it's 11 hours 35 minutes.

2. The second term is Sidereal Time. Open the Ephemeris at midnight and find the Sid column there. Time (Sidereal Time - Star Time). Write out the data from there for the desired date (only hours and minutes, no seconds). On September 6, it is 22 hours 59 minutes.

You may notice that sidereal time increases by 4 minutes every day. We can evenly distribute these 4 minutes throughout the day. If a person was born in the morning, around 6 am (GMT), then to the Sid. Time must be added 1 minute, if born at noon, then add 2 minutes, if in the evening, closer to 18-00, then add 3 minutes, and if closer to midnight, then 4 minutes. In this case, the time of birth is around noon, so Sid. Time 22 hours 59 minutes + 2 min. = 23h01 min.

3. The third term is the longitude of the place of birth in hours. First, let's find the coordinates of the city of Tula using the "Directory of coordinates". This is 54° 12" N. 37° 37" E. duty.

The coordinates are in degrees, and we need to convert east longitude from degrees to hours. The earth makes a 360° rotation on its axis in 24 hours. This means that in 1 hour (60 minutes) it rotates 15 degrees.

To convert longitude to hours, you need to convert longitude to arc minutes and divide by 15. But there is another, more convenient option - you need to multiply longitude in degrees by 4. The result will be the same. I'll show you both options.

1st option. 37 ° 37 ": 15 \u003d (37 ° x 60 + 37"): 15 \u003d (2220 "+ 37"): 15 \u003d 2257 ": 15 \u003d 150.47 min. in hours 150 min = 2 hours 30 min.

2nd option. 37 ° 37 "multiply by 4, separately degrees, separately minutes. You get 148" 148 "", while arc seconds can be rounded to minutes. It turns out 148 "+ 2" = 150". Now we can translate this number into hours and minutes, we get 2 hours 30 minutes.

4. Now you need add three numbers, namely: GMT 11 hours 35 minutes. + Sid. Time 23h01 min. + longitude in hours 2 hours 30 minutes.

Add hours separately, minutes separately, we get 36 hours 66 minutes. Available minutes can also be converted into hours 66 minutes. = 1 hour 06 min. Total 36 hours. + 1 hour 06 min. = 37 hours. 06 min.

If the amount received turned out to be more than 24 hours, then 24 hours must be subtracted from it. We get 37 hours. 2 minutes. – 24 hours = 13 hours 06 minutes.

It is this time (13 hours 06 minutes) that we will need to determine the tops of the houses.

5. We take the Tables of houses of Placidus. On each page you see 8 small tablets (4 tablets in the top row and 4 in the bottom row). The latitude is indicated in the center of the page between the tablets (the inscription LAT. and numbers from top to bottom from 0 to 60). Each plate has hours, minutes and seconds in the upper left corner (this is LST, local sidereal time).

We have to find 13 hours 6 minutes. But since the difference between the plates is 4 minutes, we will not find this time here. Therefore, we will have to write out the data from two adjacent plates at once - for 13 hours 4 minutes. and 13 hours 8 minutes. (they are on the bottom left) and then take the arithmetic mean.

Here are the two signs we need, at 13:00. 4 min. and 13 o'clock. 8 min. The MC dot in the House Tables is located at the top of each table (directly above the ASC). We write out the data from two plates and determine the average figure. And we can immediately determine the top of the opposite house (that is, IC).

MC 17° 21" Libra and 18° 26" Libra (average 17° 54" Libra) - IC 17° 54" Aries.

To determine the rest of the houses, you need to go down on the tablet to the number corresponding to the geographical latitude of the place of birth. The latitude of the city of Tula is 54 ° 12 "north latitude, which means we look at line 54 (you see the line number on the right).

ASC 12° 57" Sagittarius and 13° 43" Sagittarius (average 13° 20" Sagittarius) - LSC 13° 20" Gemini.

2nd house 22° 11" Capricorn and 23° 21" Capricorn (average 22° 46" Capricorn) - 8th house 22° 46" Cancer.

3rd house 11° 06" Pisces and 12° 26" Pisces (average 11° 46" Pisces) - 9th house 11° 46" Virgo.

11th house 11° 07" Scorpio and 12° 00" Scorpio (average 11° 34" Scorpio) - 5th house 11° 34" Taurus.

12th house 28° 25" Scorpio and 29° 12" Scorpio (average 28° 48" Scorpio) - 6th house 28° 48" Taurus.

The rising sign is the sign that rises on the eastern horizon at the time of birth and is visible from the birthplace. It is used to mark the dividing line of the First House, which is associated with the physical body. Not only the exact degree of the ecliptic to which this sign rises is important, but also the entire zodiac sign to which it belongs. As a result of the continuous movement of the Earth, the angle of the ecliptic in degrees changes every four minutes. Carriers of the same zodiac sign, born with a difference of more than four minutes, may have a different ascending sign.

The angle of elevation of the ascending sign on the chart indicates a dense line of electromagnetic energy passing into the astral body. It is well seen by people with clairvoyance. Most people do not know the exact time of their birth. Even parents are surprised when they are asked to remember at what exact time the child was born.

Practicing astrologers use various methods to solve this problem. It is possible to calculate based on the dates of vital events: the first serious illness, accidents, death of parents, marriage, birth of a child, etc. Another method is based on comparing the positions of the Houses and the mutual position of the stars and planets in a person's horoscope with his social position, character traits, type of work or profession, and financial situation. If the moment of conception is known, the ascending sign can be determined on this basis.

Ascendant or rising sign (these terms are equivalent) is an important element of your horoscope. The ascendant is a sign that reflects your outward behavior; it largely determines how the world around you sees you. The word "outer" is key to your rising sign, as it represents the outer side of your personality. Using modern language, we can say that this is your image.

Very often it turns out that the ascendant is responsible for what the world sees in you first of all, what is the first impression you make. Many astrologers believe that the rising sign reveals you more directly than the sign of the Sun. The Ascendant has been compared to the door of a house, the entrance through which the visitor must pass in order to see the dwelling itself.

The face that a person shows to the outside world is an alloy from the sign in which the Sun is located with the ascendant. This combination determines the unique impression that you make. The Moon sign is associated with the more hidden aspects of your personality. This influence is deep and all-encompassing, but others feel it in your character rather than see it lying on the surface.

Since the ascendant is the sign that rises above the horizon at the time of your birth (hence the term "rising sign" comes from), it reflects the moment when your independent life in this world began. It characterizes your interaction with others, your individual style of communication.

The ascendant is called the sign of your "I" - your self-awareness, independence, interest in yourself. In many ways, the rising sign indicates your goals, aspirations, indicates the main area for the application of your creative forces. To some extent, this sign also affects external characteristics and manners. This is your world-facing mask. Like any mask, it can hide the true face, but rather it is part of the real face. This is the face that you show to others with the greatest ease and naturalness.

What is an ascendant? According to the simplest definition, the ascendant is the astrological sign that rises on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. To better understand what this means, imagine the Earth as a small circle centered on a larger circle. The second circle depicts the sky, the celestial sphere surrounding us. You lie on a small circle (Earth) and look at the sky at the moment of your birth.

When a person says that he was born under a certain sign, he means the sign of the Sun (that is, the sign in which the Sun is at the time of birth). However, astrologers, speaking of the sign under which an individual is born, mean the ascendant. In the past, the ascendant was considered a more important factor than the sign of the Sun, but this opinion was abandoned in the twentieth century.

However, many astrologers believe that the line of the ascendant is the main component of the birth chart, since other parameters of the horoscope can be calculated from its position. One thing is certain: without the establishment of an ascendant, the interpretation of the horoscope remains limited, and it will never become truly natal, that is, related to the moment of birth.

Ascendant by Horoscope

And the Ascendant are the three most important figures in the natal chart, which determine the personality and forms of its manifestation. They rarely converge in one sign, although such cases do occur (it is precisely such cases that most of all correspond to the classical descriptions of a particular sign). As a rule, for men, the Sun constitutes the "basis" of the personality, a set of its permanent properties, and the Moon determines the forms of their manifestation - the degree of adaptability to the environment, trends and dynamics of development. In women, both luminaries "change roles."

The ascendant shows the degree of realization of the possibilities inherent in a person. We can say that the solar-lunar horoscope is like a “genotype” of a personality, a set of properties given to a person at birth, a product of a certain geomagnetic situation (the left hand in palmistry). Whereas the Ascendant can be called an astrological "phenotype", a set of properties acquired by a person more or less consciously during life (in palmistry - the right hand). This is an expression of the same free will that Ptolemy spoke about, pointing out that the "stars" determine fate only halfway - everything else a person arranges for himself. Another thing is that not all people can (or want) to become "the blacksmiths of their own happiness", many just go with the flow, leaving fate to make decisions for them.

Another difficulty lies in the fact that in the West it is customary to record the time of a person’s birth to the nearest minute, so the calculation of the Ascendant rarely causes difficulties there. In the countries of the East (including the Soviet Union) such an opportunity is not always available; the error in the time of birth can reach several hours. Here you have to either rectify the Ascendant according to life events, or get by with a solar-lunar horoscope, which, unfortunately, is more like a magazine horoscope for large masses of people.

But back to the houses counted from the Ascendant. We received twelve different sizes - their value varies depending on the geographical latitude, season, and also on the time of day. In addition, we received four important points, of which one is the Ascendant. Let's consider them in more detail.

Descendant in the cosmogram

Directly opposite the ascendant is the descendant, the descending (or setting) degree. If at the moment of a person's birth a certain degree of the celestial circle rises in the East, then in the West, naturally, at the same moment a certain degree sets and is called a descendant or a descendant. The descendant is a point and is denoted by the letters DS.

The ascendant-descendant line represents the horizontal, or more simply, the horizon. If the ascendant corresponds to the human “I”, the beginning of the human personality (point), then the descendant is the point of knowledge of the environment, the point of a person’s relationship to other people and their relationship to him, not without reason, the descendant opens, “the house of marriage and partner”.

Further on the cosmogram there are two more points that make up the points of the IV and X houses; the first point is called the nadir, the second is the middle of the sky. Nadir opens the fourth house and is designated IC (from the Latin "imum of the goal" - the lower part of the sky). The middle of the sky corresponds to the point of the tenth house and is denoted by MC (from the Latin "purpose medium", meaning the same).

In a physical sense, IC corresponds to midnight, and MC to noon: these points of the ecliptic the Sun passes (approximately) at twelve o'clock in the afternoon or night of a given calendar date. On the cosmogram of a person born, say, at 11.45 local solar time, the MC point almost coincides with the position of the Sun, and if born at 12.05, it will leave it a little behind.

In the occult plan, the nadir (IC) personifies, as it were, the “initial capital” of a person, the genetic and mental baggage given to him at birth; the middle of the sky (MC) is the goal of his aspirations, the “zenith” towards which his personality strives in the course of its development. Human life, as it were, goes along the line connecting the nadir with the zenith. This line (IC-MC) is called the meridian.

The horizon line divides the cosmogram into northern and southern halves, and the meridian line into western and eastern halves. Even a cursory glance at the cosmogram is enough to determine how the planets are located relative to these lines, and to draw some conclusions.

For a better idea, redraw yours on a blank sheet of paper, and draw two lines along the blue arrows, the Ascendant (AS) in the 1st house and the Midheaven (MC) in the 10th house. Redrawing the map is recommended for all novice astrologers, this will help them plunge deeper into the mystery of the influence of subtle energies.

If most of the planets are above the horizon, that is, in the southern half of the cosmogram, this usually indicates that the "owner" of the horoscope is a man of action: he prefers to control his own destiny. The closer the Sun is to the meridian, the higher the position it reaches. This is true even when other indicators are not entirely favorable.

If the planets are located more below the horizon, in the northern half of the cosmogram, then fate is not very favorable to a person: all his development takes place “inside”, in the soul, without giving a tangible social result. Such a person is usually not able to cope with circumstances. If the Sun or Jupiter is near the nadir (IC), that is, the lowest point of the northern half of the sky, a person often devotes himself to mystical teachings, metaphysics, and occult sciences. If, however, Mars and Saturn are near this point, this indicates tensions in the family.

If most of the planets fall into the eastern half, that is, within the MC-AS-IC triangle, this means early personality development, bright events in youth, in general, early independence of a person, and under other favorable conditions, early success in life. If the horoscope is generally unfavorable, this can mean many difficulties and obstacles in the first half of life.

If the planets are concentrated mainly in the western half, that is, in the IC-DS-MC triangle, then the most important events will occur in the second half of life. Such people generally tend to wait without taking action; they make decisions that the environment imposes on them. In general, the inner life for them is more important than the outer.

The horizon and the meridian divide the cosmogram into four sectors - quadrants. These sectors are rarely equal to each other, because at different latitudes and at different times of the year, day and night, daylight and darkness, have different durations. The American astrologer Dane Redyar, in his book Astrology of Personality, indicates that the northwestern sector gives the concept of the emotional sphere of a person, and the southeastern one - about his logical thinking; the southwestern one tells about the peculiarities of his perception, and the northeastern one tells about the ways of processing information.
