Total houses 12. Each home natal chart corresponds to its Zodiac sign, starting from the very first in order: 1 house - Aries, 2 home - Taurus and so on through the zodiac circle.

The boundaries of all houses are called cusps. Therefore, when they say that a planet is on the cusp of a house, it means that it is on the border between houses and can affect both houses at once.

Interpretation of houses somewhat similar zodiac signs, but does not match completely. If the signs are deep energy, then Houses- a more superficial, but also more noticeable, event layer.

Houses just show how we relate to each specific area of ​​​​our life, how we are doing in it, what events and when we will happen.

Planets in the signs of the zodiac- embedded energy planets in houses- a specific area of ​​manifestation. 12 houses, in principle, cover our entire life, any events that may occur in it.


Let's analyze house values .

hemispheres

It makes sense to look at houses as a reflection of the horizon at the time of your birth, which reflects in natal chart line Ascendant-Descendant. Part of the sky above this line is visible, the other is not. Below the horizon are seven houses of personal development, invisible, but very important for a person. This includes the areas of personality, resources, knowledge, housing, creativity, health and work.

Part of the houses above the horizon mean "visible" areas of life in the context of the "big world": relationships, joint possessions and resources, social values, career, goals, and the unconscious.

From here comes the division of houses into hemispheres: northern hemisphere- these are houses that are located in the lower part of the natal chart from the 1st to the 6th house inclusive. If most of the planets of the horoscope are in the northern hemisphere, then a person is oriented towards the inner world, being more introvert. A person with a predominance of the northern hemisphere in the horoscope is more closed to his inner world, to his family, personal creativity, in general, to his inner life. He seeks to take root and live with family and personal affairs.

On the contrary, if most (and even more so, all) of the planets are located in southern hemisphere, in houses from the 7th to the 12th house inclusive, then the person - extrovert. For such a person, his external activities, career, success in society, recognition of his achievements by other people, as well as travel, business, collective affairs, depending on which houses are mainly accented, are of the greatest importance.

MC-IC line(meridian) divides the horoscope into other two halves, one of which includes houses 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3 (eastern hemisphere), and the other - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 houses (western hemisphere) . In the eastern hemisphere, a person is active himself, and in the western hemisphere, the outside world acts on him, the initiative comes from outside, and good and bad mostly come from other people, and the owner of the horoscope with the majority planets in the western hemisphere it remains either to follow them and their initiative, or to defend, to resist. But both actions Yinskoe.

For a person in whose horoscope the majority planets located in eastern hemisphere, developed YANskoe the beginning (but this does not cancel the effect of the elements, which will be discussed later). A person with a predominance of the eastern hemisphere acts mainly on own program, on their own initiative. And how successful it is depends on a number of other factors, which we will talk about later.

If we divide the houses into four, we get the division of houses into "squares":

I - IV - VII - X - corner houses, analogue cardinal signs - Aries , Cancer , scales , Capricorn. They start from the corners of the map (Asc, IC, Dsc, MC) and are the most important for predicting events.

II - V - VIII - XI - subsequent houses, analogue fixed signs - Taurus , a lion , Scorpion , Aquarius. Their keywords are persistence, retention. Here there is an accumulation of energy, which is realized through the corner houses.

III - VI - IX - XII - falling (cadence) houses, analogue mutable signs - Twins , Virgo , Sagittarius , Fishes. Responsible for changes in the process of adaptation to external conditions based on experience gained.

Trines

Let's break down the houses trines: I - V - IX, II - VI -X, III - VII - XI, IV - VIII - XII.

I - V - IX houses - houses of action, analogue signs of the fire element.

II - VI - X houses - houses of concrete, material and professional life, analogue signs of the earth element.

III - VII - XI houses - houses of relationships, analogue signs of the air element.

IV - VIII - XII houses - houses of inner, emotional life, analogue signs of the water element.

quadrants

quadrants are obtained by dividing the horoscope by the same lines of the horizon and the meridian into four parts.

First quadrant- from the Ascendant to IC, that is, I, II, III houses, the northeastern sector of the sky. This is the quadrant of pure individuality. Here a person interacts little with society. Here are his abilities, with what he came into this world. This is his personality and physical body (I house), his supply of energy and material resources (II house), his knowledge and practical skills (III house). If most of the planets are in the first quadrant, the person is mainly busy with himself, acts confidently and assertively, caring little about what kind of reaction his actions cause in the outside world.

Second quadrant- from IC to Descendant, IV, V, VI houses, northwestern sector. Here, internal orientation is combined with interaction with the external world. A person with a predominance of this quadrant lives more with family and work, work for himself and his family. His assessment by others, mainly family members and colleagues, is already important to him. But he does not aspire to great things in the outside world.

Third quadrant- from the Descendant to the MC, VII, VIII, IX houses, southwestern sector. A person with an emphasis on this quadrant is completely oriented to the outside world. Interaction with partners, knowledge of the world, science and travel. Here, human interests are aimed at understanding the world and gaining popularity and authority in society. Rather, it is authority, not power.

Fourth quadrant- from MC to Ascendant, X, XI, XII houses, southeast sector. Here individualism rushes into the outer world. The desire to prove oneself, the struggle for power and influence in society, the desire for a career, perhaps the desire to participate in teamwork and, if possible, make people your like-minded people, impose your plans and interests on them.

When everything is in a boundless circle
It flies, doubling, from year to year,
Thousand-fold arches of the arc
Merge into a single vault;
From distant stars and blades of grass
The desire to be a river flows
But the eternal duel of life -
Only eternal rest in the Lord.
Goethe

We always begin the interpretation of a person’s birth chart by studying distribution of planets in the horoscope. This is the first and necessary operation, since it gives a general idea of ​​the psychology of the cardholder. Next, we find the dominant and weak planet, exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the planets by position in the sign, in the house, arc aspects, and standing up the chain of control. Which gives us an idea of ​​what interest in life a person will try to satisfy along with dominant need, indicated by the position of the Moon in the chart, as well as which principle for a person will present the greatest problem. This study allows us to determine the sign of the synthesis of the horoscope - by the predominance of planets in the elements and the cross. What makes it possible to understand what will be the style of a person's general reactions to various circumstances of his life.

The planets are arranged in a chart in a certain order, which can be entered into one or another geometric figure. So called, Jones figures. What allows you to get additional information about the psychology of the cardholder.

Aspects sometimes form closed configurations, which add additional value to the characteristics of these aspects. have the same additional meaning stellium, duet and planet without aspects. It is also important to define dominant aspect in the chart, since it is he who will determine the general mode of action of a person.

When we study the configurations of the planets, we are dealing not only with the elementary relations between two planets, connected by an aspect, - we are dealing with a whole complex of influences affecting the personality. When meeting someone for the first time, an intuitive person immediately receives some general, synthetic "impression" from the meeting as a whole. The integrity of the stranger affects our integrity. At the same time, one or two main features are often striking, which serve as a focus of our perception. These traits-focuses of a holistic personality are semantic centers around which the impression is organized. These traits serve as markers by which we can assign a person to one of a small number of types of people. We need such a classification in order to adequately interact with each other. “People are afraid of what they do not understand” (Goethe).

Definition semantic centers, what Jones calls "focus determinants" are the first and major step in the interpretation of the birth chart. For the interpretation must reveal the integrity, the life of the individual, and not just a mechanical sum of information about behavior. This is not only the most important, but also the most difficult astrological factor. Each interpreter must somehow develop his own technique for discovering this "center" - according to the "genius" revealed by his own chart. In addition, only one who is relatively whole himself can have the right holistic perception. In order to see semantic centers, you must yourself have semantic centering..

There are, however, a few general principles for defining the "centre" that can be stated, since this is only an extension of the known astrological factors on which the symbolism is based. zodiac, houses and aspects. To enumerate them is to define "forms" or "gestalts." It is useful to extract and compare the individual factors of the horoscope in order to delve into the analysis, but above all holistic perception should see the integrity, the connectedness of the parts grouped around some living semantic center. This is how the “soul” of the situation is revealed, animating the whole, the energy of the spirit, enclosed in a material form.

There are two main ideas behind the study of the distribution of planets in the horoscope. The first is that no definite conclusion can be drawn from the fact that no planets at home. Lack of accentuation does not mean negative accentuation. Wholeness must always be understood as the basis of every organic being, it is always implied even when there is no particular emphasis. This may mean that in the past the qualities represented by this house and sign were realized. Or a virgin state of undifferentiation. This position always applies more to the unconscious state than to the conscious state. For example, health is not realized, not differentiated until illness sets in. The unconscious can be a very strong factor that serves as the basis mental health. God (or the Universal Being) is not subject to any planetary accentuations, since each degree of the integrity of the Universal Being is equally emphasized. Only man - as an individual being - has planets. God, figuratively speaking, has no "planets".

The second idea refers to what Mark Jones calls "weight balance", a topic related to the ideas of Gestalt psychology. If nine planets are in one hemisphere, and the tenth in another, then from the point of view of form this tenth powerfully emphasized, since its task is to balance the other nine. It becomes an exclusive factor and largely destroys the influence of the planets of the other hemisphere. Jones likens this isolated planet to an aching tooth that owns all consciousness. This is a kind of "irrational" accentuation that tends to destroy the integrity of the personality, an autocratic factor that dictates a special will to everything else in the body, which, by contrast, may turn out to be undeveloped.

The distribution of the planets.

The first and simplest determination of the general significance of the planetary pattern in the study of the distribution of planets is the study of the distribution of planets according to four quadrants of the map, that is, with respect to the axes, horizon and meridian. The operation is to determine whether any of the zones of the circle, oriented according to the location of the houses, dominates over others.

Any horoscope consists of 4 quadrants, which are formed due to the intersection of the line Ascendant - Descendant with the line Medium of the Goal - Imum of the Goal.
4 squares contain the entire belt of the Zodiac. The cross, to which a person is attached in his life, is formed, as already mentioned, by the horizon and the meridian. Depending on the distribution of the planets in the quadrants of this cross, conclusions can be drawn about the main sphere of life. The location of the Sun and planets gives the typical inclinations of character and destiny.

The division into quadrants is also used for the signs of the Zodiac. Spring signs (Aries, Taurus and Gemini) form the first quadrant, summer - the second, autumn - the third, winter - the fourth. The division of the sky map into four quadrants is already found in Ptolemy.

Asc-Dsc line divides the circle of the zodiac horizontally into lower and upper hemispheres.
At home in lower hemisphere, under the horizon (from the first to 6 inclusive) are called night, and houses upper hemisphere, above the horizon (from 7 to 12) - daytime.

lower hemisphere corresponds inner sphere personality, and Upper- external. As a general rule, we say that a native in whose horoscope most of the planets are below the horizon shows a more introverted character, while one who has most of the planets above the horizon is more extroverted.

All planets below the horizon. All planets are in the inner sphere.

All the planets below the horizon are purely theoretical cases.
A person born in this position of the planets would be the opposite of a person who has all the planet above the horizon in the horoscope. In the external experiences of such a person there would be much that he would perceive negatively, only his inner life, according to his feelings, would develop in an increasing manner. This native would encounter such events of the external world, which he would perceive as striving to suppress him, subdue him, resist him. In some form, he would always submit to more extroverted natures.

If it Sun and Jupiter were located favorably - somewhere at the pole of the night, as they call cusp 4 houses- then in the end it would be deep soulful person, mystic or metaphysician. Perhaps he would have possessed magical powers or clairvoyant and intuitive abilities that would acquaint him with what is happening in nature and a very special point of view on life and death.

In an unfavorable position of the planets, however, an unhappy character could have turned out, which would be driven by life and which would be thrown from side to side from its own weaknesses. Fortunately, almost every horoscope has a less clear placement of planets on a common circle, due to which fate naturally becomes more balanced.

“A person is closed in himself or in the subjective area” (M. Jones). Intuitive type. A person for whom inner experiences are of greater value than activities in the outside world. The inner world is more important and interesting than the outer world, since the outer world in this case acts as a reflection of the inner one. The external world is secondary to the internal. The real things are happening there. And the changes in the outside world are only a consequence of the changes that have taken place inside him. Such a person draws strength and inspiration from within himself. Therefore, often needs solitude, tranquility, seclusion. In his eyes, the outside world appears as a world of conflicts, and he seeks to avoid them. His private life more important to him than the public. He attaches great importance to his origin, family, the world of material things as a symbol of the experiences and events of the past that are significant for him. Heredity has a strong influence on his life. He is tied to his roots, to the past, to the atmosphere of home comfort. It has great resistance to ideas imposed from outside, but it can not be influenced by its immediate environment. The closer in the Lower Hemisphere the planets are located on both sides to the IC, the more pronounced these mental inclinations are.

All planets above the horizon. All planets in the outer sphere.

It must be said right away that in most cases in practice we are dealing with more or less "mixed" horoscopes, in which the planets are distributed throughout the entire field of the horoscope. But if, for example, in one horoscope, the position of the planets turned out to be evenly distributed over the horizon, then we would have an active open man, which would have a great penetrating power in public life. A person of action, aimed at overcoming all the difficulties and problems of life relationships and pacifying his enemies and opponents. It is clear that such a horoscope is an extraordinary exception, and in this connection it is interesting to know, for example, that in Mussolini's horoscope all the planets are above the horizon.

The closer with this position of the planets Sun to Meridian(cusp 10th house = vocation), the more powerful will be the external position of the native, which he will achieve in life. The sun is at its zenith and warms the most in the afternoon. From this it is quite clear that one born at noon can count on an energetic fate. Such people can occupy a prominent place in life under good position planets relative to the Sun (harmonious major aspects), if this is due to their birth in a certain environment, professional activity or the strength of their characteristic features.

Under very unfavorable circumstances, with this position of the Sun, the characteristic influences of fate still appear. These natives, even with the most unfavorable fate, will find the strength to overcome all the vicissitudes of life.

If most of the planets are also near the zenith, especially in 10th house, then one must count on an outstanding personality who in some way will dominate and dominate other people.

Jupiter in this position next to sun gives as a result of the often repeated positions of the planets in the horoscopes of monarchs or sovereigns.

Saturn or Mars with bad aspects to this position, it would mean the danger of overthrow.

“A person lives an external life, the focus of his consciousness is completely concentrated on events outer life"(M. Jones). A person attaches more importance to his external activities than to internal experiences. He needs to stand out, to realize himself in public life. He is attracted by the bright social work, the ability to conduct large programs visible to everyone. He seeks to attract attention and gives great importance his reputation, how he looks in the eyes of people. The external manifestations of his personality are of more interest to him than the internal foundations of his worldview. He considers inner work necessary only if it is motivated by the difficulty of achieving in the outer world. For example, correcting character flaws that hinder career advancement. In some cases, this distribution of planets indicates a loss of roots, insufficiently high origin (lack of planets in the Deep of the Sky), or denial, rejection of one's roots. Such a person needs his personal achievements to be highly honored in society, wants to feel useful to society. He is very receptive to ideas in the air. Easily falls under their control. Follows fashion trends.

The closer planets in the upper hemisphere to the MC on both sides, the more social factors influence a person's life, the more important for him is the opportunity to realize himself in public life.

The vertical axis of the MC-IC divides the circle of the horoscope into the sphere-I and the sphere-YOU, the eastern and western hemispheres. In the Eastern Hemisphere there are houses surrounding Ascendant. IN Western- houses around Descendant but. The zenith meridian divides the Universe (all experience) into ascending and descending areas. And in this case, the main rule is formulated as follows: if most of the planets are on the side of the Self, then the native is mainly focused on his own Self (a pronounced personacentrist, egocentric). The accumulation of planets in the zone of YOU gives a native who is forced to fix attention on YOU (other people puke more attention than their own person). In such a consideration, we must keep in mind such concepts as "egocentric", "selfish".

All planets in the sphere-I, in the eastern hemisphere.

cluster of planets in eastern hemisphere would lead this person to early development. Immediately after the first youthful years which would also be outstanding, decisive events would take place. Perhaps the influence of the parental home will force this native to early or greater independence. professional life would bring the greatest success in the first half of life. With a good position of the planets - a quick rise, with a bad one - strong interference and resistance. Thanks to this, the personality would develop rapidly and would learn to make decisions early.

The more with this The sun and other planets would approach the Ascendant, the more powerful would be their reflection in character and fate. How higher they would move forward in their advance to the 10th house, the more pronounced and characteristic would be the influence of the profession and social status.

IN in a certain sense the rhythm of the sun acts through separate force fields, therefore, generally speaking, people born between morning and noon are more active and feel more motivating forces.

If The sun has just crossed its zenith and is leaning towards the West(for born between noon and sunset), then in these natives the craving for self-assertion in the outside world is weakening. Fate becomes more passive and is subject to greater external obstacles and influences. A person finds in himself less strength to fight these influences of his own free will.

How the sun goes down, the more a person turns to his inner essence. Inner feelings prevail. He becomes more intuitive, inner senses sharpen, and destiny in the outer world is connected with knowledge. important and numerous planets along with the Sun in the Eastern Hemisphere would show in a general sense that the main events fall on early youth and the first half of life. These people would have better opportunities for exaltation in life.

The lower the sun goes below the horizon, the later characteristic events in the life of the native occur. Such people become Yin, expectant and cautious. The main events and the main knowledge take place in the inner life, awaken inner feelings and turn thoughts to the non-material world and nature. Such people can be metaphysicians and occultists, and with a very strong affected planet - highly unstable people who succumb to the negative influences of their fate.

If all the planets are in the east , in a situation of choice, a person is independent of external circumstances, is free not to take them into account at all. He initiates his own problems. This is a person who the emphasis is on "I", self. First of all, he takes care of himself and seeks to satisfy personal needs, not paying attention to others. Usually the predominance of planets in eastern hemisphere, according to Jones, means emphasized significance for such a person quality of thinking because thought governs energy. And a person of the eastern hemisphere should have enough energy to carry out his interests, and it is important for him to freely direct it in the right direction.

If planets clustered around Asc, we can also talk about egocentrism. This person intuitive, independent, appreciates his own and others' individuality, he has a highly developed sense of the significance of his own "I". He does not depend on the opinions of others. He himself is looking for his own guidelines and will never give up any of his ideas for the sake of someone. Guided only by his principles and personal understanding of ethics and morality. Unaccountable. He deals only with what personally deeply affects him, represents the sphere of personal interests. This arrangement of the planets is typical for people who are engaged in science, research, art, writing. Such a person can suffer, feeling between himself and those around him a certain distance and seeing misunderstanding on their part.

At very strong first house and empty seventh it is always extremely difficult for a person to find an equal partner. His main problem when interacting with other people is boredom: “It’s both boring and sad, and there is no one to give a hand to,” wrote Mikhail Lermontov. “Give a hand” not in the sense that he needs a hand given by someone as support and support, but that he has no one to shake hands with, symbolizing the equality of partners. The problem of the people of the accentuated Eastern Hemisphere and the strong First House with an empty seventh house is well expressed in Andrei Voznesensky's poem "Song of the Akyn":

Not glory and not a cow,
not the shaky crown of the earth -

to pull out to sing with me!

I ask not for stolen love,
no favors for a day -
send me, Lord, the second, -
not to be so alone.

To have someone to graze with
roam across the steppe
for the heart, not for applause,
sing in two voices!

For someone to understand me
not often, well, at least once.
Raised from my wounded lips
bullet-scratched horn.

And let my singing partner
forgetting that we are the strength together,
me, pale from rivalry,
slaughter at the common table.

Forgive him. Let to the grave
surrounded by loneliness.
Send him, God, the second -
like me and him.

The more planets are concentrated around the Ascendant

All the planets in the sphere are YOU, in the western hemisphere. A person lacks personal activity, he is too dependent on the will of others. And more important events transferred to the second half of life. If all the planets in the West , a person is forced in situations of choice to take into account external circumstances, the will of the team and other people, life imposes problems on him. You have to accept your fate patiently, not being able to significantly intervene in it on your own initiative. Human focus is on "they", significant others. It is other people who are most important to the cardholder: they interfere in his life, threaten, demand, insist, exhort, ask. It is impossible to ignore them. And in their eyes it is necessary to affirm. You want to have power over them, you draw strength from them for your own peace of mind. Hence, this person has some form of dependence - after all, the attitude of other people inevitably affects him. Jones believes that dominance of planets in the west means underlined importance a person attaches to his feelings, since it is feelings that are an indicator of his relationship with other people. Human extroverted, contact, has the gift of communication. He has strong ties to society, as he is accompanied by a constant sense of the importance of other people in his life. He does not think he is alone. Often identifies his personality with the team, friends, bosses, idols. The partner's personality is of more interest to him than his own.. Such a distribution of the planets is often found in persons whose occupation is social work.

How more planets centered around the Descendant, the stronger these qualities are expressed.

An interesting psychological effect we can observe in humans with Ascendant in Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Here Oriental houses superimposed on Western signs , but Night houses - on day signs. These people are capable of confounding a knowledgeable psychologist. For example, observing the natural behavior of a person with Moon in Leo, we can form an impression of him as extrovert that values ​​other people's opinions and is audience oriented. When in fact he feels truly comfortable not being on stage, but backstage; and the real creativity of his life takes place exactly there - in solitude, far from worldly fuss, because his Moon in 12th house.

Naturally, the technique that studies planet distribution, is inextricably linked to analysis of planetary dominants, and this analysis should either confirm our conclusions or make some corrections to them.

For example, dominant Saturn enhances introversion and weakens extraversion, while dominant Jupiter will have the exact opposite effect. It is likely that the owner of such a card will experience internal conflicts until he learns to pour out his subpersonalities and reconcile his conflicting values.

There are also cases when the planets are distributed very evenly (no clusters) around the circle of the map. And this leads to some conclusions: firstly, a person has a wide range of abilities and is able to achieve peace of mind; secondly, it is difficult for him to navigate and make a choice just because of the many opportunities that he has.

However, it is usually considered that it is preferable to have a natal chart in which the planets would be distributed more or less evenly. Anything accumulation, too "overloading" some part of the natal chart, leads to an imbalance in the same way as this happens with scales when only one bowl is loaded. In this case, the person himself has the right to restore this balance and reload the empty bowl - for example, making up for the lack of roots and attachments, if, for example, his night zone is empty.

As we see, the horoscope is divided by axes into 4 quadrants(which in most cases are not exactly 90 degrees). We distinguish here outer-I, external-YOU, inner-I And inner-YOU. The interpretation when there is a strong congestion of planets in one of these quadrants is simple, since we only need to combine the above elements of the statements. If the planets are in most or all quadrants, we need to make a simple comparison. There are cards that all planets can be in one of the four quadrants, is a rare, but even more accentuated manifestation of one of the four components of the individual self. According to Jones, intuition is accentuated with a cluster of planets in the northeastern sector (10, 11, 12 houses). Sensuality - in the northwest (7th, 8th, 9th houses); perception and evaluation - in the southwestern (4th, 5th, 6th houses); thinking - in the southeast (1, 2, 3 houses).

Before drawing conclusions about distribution of planets in quadrants, it is necessary to investigate the position sun and moon. Both luminaries have the strongest of all the planets influence in the horoscope.

Placement of the Sun and Moon

Sun powers(conscious choice of a person, intention, decision in an "either-or" situation, will) must perceive moon powers(unconscious reactions of a person, desire, wanting) and negotiate with them. It might happen different ways, but the method always depends on the position of the Sun and Moon in relation to each other in the horoscope.

Already ancient astrologers noticed that there is a difference between the influence of day and night, depending on phases of the moon. Long before knowledge magnetosphere it was known that powers of the sun and moon They act in completely different ways - depending on their location in the sky. Today, when we know about the magnetosphere, the phenomenon lunar phases easy to explain. The Earth's magnetosphere extends on the night side far beyond the path of the Moon, while on the side facing the Sun, the Earth's magnetosphere is horizontally compressed. Electromagnetic waves on the side of the day they look very different than on the side of the night. If at the birth of a person in this electromagnetic landscape a certain disposition dominates, it has a certain effect on the native, determining his individual traits.

The sun in the horoscope it can be located in half the sky above the horizon - then the birth will occur during the day. In this case, two positions are possible Moon: above the horizon, like the Sun, or below the horizon.

At born at night The sun is in one of the 6 houses below the horizon. Again there can be two positions Moon: in houses of the day hemisphere or night.

Considering that a person in the first two years of life lives only according to his lunar nature, reacts vegetatively, and the forces-I only gradually develop, then it becomes clear that these four relationships between the Moon and the Sun should play a big role in a person's life. Let's look at these four points.

Sun in outer sphere - Moon in inner sphere

If The sun is above the horizon, and the moon is below the horizon, then we have the so-called ideal case of the free forces of the Sun, which do not penetrate through the huge magnetic fields and which are not hindered by the forces of the moon.

In such cases, a person easily manages to separate the influence of the ancestral heritage and the forces-I. These natives have the happiness to quickly and freely develop their personality. This takes place, for example, when opposition of the moon, with a full moon, which in the old books of astrology has always been denoted as something negative, being in reality nothing but a clear division between two principles.

In later life, when the personality develops, this person will be able to combine well these divided principles of the Moon and the Sun, so that one can speak of a harmonious and positive being.

Sun and Moon in the Outer Sphere

If The sun and moon are above the horizon, then the forces of the Moon are more developed, because it is easy for them to penetrate a relatively thin layer of the magnetosphere.

In such cases, the forces of heredity win for a long time, the search for the ego is difficult and burdened by various connections with the past. One who is born into the world with such a position of the Sun and Moon will always feel internally unfree in relation to the new, since his past is always present for him.

It goes without saying that here also much depends on the position of both luminaries in the sign of the Zodiac: if the Sun is in Leo, and the Moon is in Libra, the power of the Sun will manifest itself more strongly. If the Moon is in Virgo, then it will be more difficult for the native to find inner balance.

Sun in the inner sphere - Moon in the outer

At birth at night, when The sun is below the horizon and the moon is visible above the horizon, we have the case when inherited inclinations, the infinite wealth of past experience constantly activate the conscience, when a person is extremely susceptible to all spiritual disturbances and for this reason can hardly achieve inner freedom.

Such people stand, so to speak, on the rails of the past, and all decisions that others make easily and without difficulty are always more problematic for them. Conscience is the cause of constant self-criticism, self-examination, and the fact that you cannot develop your personality as you would like creates constant dissatisfaction.

Sun and Moon in the Inner Sphere

Here both luminaries below the horizon. In this case, both the strength of the Sun and the Moon is weakened by the powerful influence of the magnetosphere.

Here the influences of heredity are quite strong, the search for one's Self and the formation of a personality are not very active, the internal struggle and development of the personality are not experienced particularly dramatically. Life is perceived as it is, there are no impulses for change.

If the rest of the planets are below the horizon, it is difficult for this native to develop freely. He remains, so to speak, throughout his life under the shadow of the influence of heredity. If they stand in the outer sphere, the native manages, contrary to the position of both luminaries, to get a little weird, but, nevertheless, to develop a character colored by individual characteristics.

The Moon, generally benefic but rapidly changing, also reflects the theme of the planet with which it is in close contact.

Some authors believe that Neptune can sometimes be kind. I would advise especially not to trust Neptune, the great illusionist, even if he does not have negative aspects. What you take for good can then turn into losses and disappointments.

Biruni noted that if the planets are strong in their cosmic status, then they help each other both in friendship and enmity, but if they are weak in their cosmic status, then they leave each other and act alone.

Fast and slow planets

The planets, due to the ellipticity of their orbits, move unevenly, in some parts of the orbit their speed is greater, in others less. In this regard, fast and slow planets are distinguished.

A fast planet is a planet that, at the time of the birth of a person, had a speed above average.

A slow planet is a planet that, at the time of the birth of a person, had a speed below average.

A fast planet manifests itself more quickly and easily than a slow one. If a person has a fast planet in Radix, he gains experience on this planet earlier than with a slow planet. The location of the planet must also be taken into account, since, being in the sign of a related element, it manifests itself more easily than when it is in the sign of an element that does not correspond to the quality of the planet. So fast Jupiter in Leo or Libra will be faster than in Taurus, and slow Mercury will be slower in Cancer than in Aquarius or Aries.

Average speeds of the planets

Sun - 0°59"8"

Moon - 12°58"

Mercury - 04°05"32""

Venus - 1°13"

Mars - 0°31"26""

Jupiter - 0°04"59"

Saturn - 0°03"49"

Uranus - 0°03"00"

Neptune - 0°01"40"

Pluto - 0°00"48"

Lunar nodes - 0°3"11"

Eastern and Western planets

East is called a planet located in the eastern hemisphere, from the side of the Ascendant (X - III field).

Western is called a planet located in the western hemisphere, from the side of the Descendant - (IV - XI fields).

Planets below and above the horizon

A planet under the horizon is a planet located in the lower hemisphere (fields I - VI).

Planet above the horizon - a planet located in the upper hemisphere (VII - XII fields).

morning and evening planet

A planet rising shortly before sunrise is called the "planet before the Sun", "Doryphorium", "Scout" or "Morning Planet".

The planet that sets after sunset is called "planet after the sun", "Auriga", "Auriga" or "Evening planet".

Any planet can be in the role of Doriphorium or Auriga (not to be confused with the constellation of the same name), but most often this place is occupied by Mercury or Venus due to the proximity of their orbits to the Sun. The "Morning Star" is usually called Venus, although it is also the "Evening Star", it is she who lights up first in the evening sky.

More details about the morning and evening planets will be discussed below.

Burnt planets

A planet located at a distance of up to 17" from the exact conjunction with the Sun is considered to be "in the heart of the Sun." This position is also called "kasimi". In this position of the planet, the Sun reveals its potential and gives it additional energy for its full disclosure.

A planet located at a distance of up to 3 ° (in some ancient treatises up to 6 °) from the exact conjunction with the Sun in one direction or another is considered "burnt planet". In this position, the planet becomes invisible, the rays of the Sun hide it, the planet, as it were, becomes blind and loses orientation, which makes it unable to fully manifest itself. A person with this position of the planet often has many ideas and plans related to the implementation of the functions of this planet, but does not have the opportunity to bring them to life.

A planet located at a distance of 3° - 17° from the exact conjunction with the Sun is considered to be "in the rays of the Sun". With this position of the planet, the situation changes dramatically. The rays of the Sun are already "at a safe distance" from the planet, so this position can already be interpreted as an aspect of the conjunction, in which the planets act in tandem, together.

Naturally, in all three positions, the cosmic status of the planets should be taken into account.

Surrounded planet

A surrounded planet, or a planet "under siege", "blockade" is a planet that is located between two other planets located within an orb from it. The “environment” of beneficent planets enhances its cosmic status. The “environment” of malefic planets weakens the planet, prevents it from manifesting itself in full force or block its action.

1.2 PLANETARY INFLUENCES

Sign management

domicile- finding the planet in its own sign, where the planet feels at ease and can fully show its energy. They say that the planet controls the sign (see Appendix, Table 3.4), and the planet itself is called the ruler. Here the properties of the planet completely coincide with the properties of the sign and their forces are in harmony. Nothing prevents the planet from expressing itself to the fullest. This situation is also called "a planet in its own home." A person who has such a planet practically does not need to gain experience, he is already born with certain skills and everything works out for him as if by itself (within this planet, of course). If there are several similar planets in the horoscope, this gives a person great penetrating power.

Exil- finding the planet in a sign opposite to its domicile. In many sources, you can read that the planet in exile is weak. This is not entirely true, here the power of the planet does not decrease, but it acts according to the properties of the sign, therefore it “feels” uncomfortable, constrained, manifests its properties with difficulty, or its qualities are greatly distorted. For manifestation on this planet, a person needs a preliminary experience, otherwise he will "go out of step" with the rest. It cannot be said that such a person is mediocre, on the contrary, after many experiments and attempts, forced to approach the matter reasonably, he can become a specialist in this field. But for this he will need much more time than a person with a planet in domicile.

Exaltation- finding the planet in the sign, where it is manifested most clearly, although it is the "second important person" in the sign. A planet in exaltation is often more visible than a planet in domicile. The planet, which is in its own sign, manifests itself in a natural way, it does not need to show or prove anything, it feels the right to behave as it sees fit, especially since experience confirms its correctness. In the case of exaltation, the planet manifests itself brightly, "exalted", gives all the best, at the highest limit of its capabilities. She is not the mistress of the sign, but nevertheless it is this sign that gives her the opportunity to express herself to the fullest. It does not act of its own free will, but of necessity, therefore, if a planet in domicile manifests itself evenly and constantly, a planet in exaltation manifests itself violently and episodically, i.e. when there is a need for it.

In addition to the sign of exaltation, the planets also have a degree of exaltation: Sun 19° Aries, Moon 3° Taurus, Mercury 15° Virgo, Venus 27° Pisces, Mars 28° Capricorn, Jupiter 15° Cancer, Saturn 21° Libra.

fall- finding the planet in a sign opposite to the sign of its exaltation. Here there is a distortion, depletion, denial of the properties of the planet. In order for a person to manifest himself on this planet, it is necessary to adapt to the situation, study it and make efforts greater or lesser. What exactly a person usually does not know, so the action of the planet is jerky. A person activates this planet most often in the wrong place, in the wrong place and at the wrong time, unlike a planet in exaltation, which comes into action at the right moment. It is clear why it is the planets in the phallus that are carriers of various kinds of complexes. If you do everything inappropriately, then it’s time to feel flawed. It is possible to solve the problem of a planet in phallus, but it takes many years of trial and error. Often people with extraordinary talent have a planet in phallus, for example, poets can have Mercury in phallus.

We examined the structure of the horoscope in terms of the location of the planets according to the signs of the zodiac and houses.

Another important part of the analysis is to assess how evenly distributed the planets are relative to each other. There is a whole theory of the "Jones figure" on this topic, but it is not necessary to delve into it in order to understand: when the planets are concentrated in one place and when they are evenly distributed around the circle, they give two completely different character. If all or most of the planets are in the same sign or house, creating a stellium or a situation close to it, this gives a high degree of concentration on one thing, as opposed to when the planets are absolutely evenly distributed. More details on this topic have already been written. In general terms, I repeat that in the first case, the limitation to one given topic may become a disadvantage: a person really sees the world through a very limited prism of his perception, such a limitation can be an overly accented sign, which, for all its merits, is just one of 12 ways to know the world. In the second case, excessive dispersion and insufficient concentration can become a disadvantage. Between these extreme options there are intermediate ones, which are the majority.

Now it is important to understand in which part of the zodiac circle the planets are concentrated, for this it is conditionally divided into the so-called hemispheres.

1. Lower and upper hemispheres

If in your chart the planets are in the signs of the lower hemisphere (the first six signs from Aries to Virgo inclusive), then this means that you need to go through a personal path of learning and gaining experience and resources, and accordingly, the situation when the signs of the upper hemisphere are occupied (from Libra up to and including Pisces) shows that you are here more to share your knowledge and wisdom with others. Schematically, this is clearly seen in Figure 1. Look at the signs of which hemisphere your planets are predominantly located, especially personal ones (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars).

Here it is also important to understand the difference between a horoscope and a cosmogram: the cosmogram is built without taking into account the time of birth and takes into account only the occupied signs of the zodiac (as in Fig. 1), while the horoscope is calculated for the time of birth and also takes into account houses. Therefore, a person may be occupied with the signs of the upper hemisphere, but during a night birth, these same signs will be superimposed on the houses of the lower hemisphere, thus, with all the accumulated wisdom and knowledge, your personal, subjective perception and your life are more important to you than external situations. and circumstances. In this article, we do not consider such an in-depth analysis, since we are talking about simple tools of understanding, however, this situation happens quite often, and it should not be confusing. At first, you can analyze your horoscope separately in terms of signs and houses and subsequently learn how to combine them.

In short, I will say that with busy houses of the upper hemisphere (from 7 to 12), a person is more interested in social ambitions, in transforming the world, in finding his place in society, conquering it and spreading his influence over it. You can read more about this on the example of the 10th house of the horoscope, a similar situation occurs with all day houses, taking into account, of course, the specifics of each.

Accented night houses, that is, houses of the lower hemisphere (from 1 to 6) show a self-immersed person who will not be interested in anything other than his personality "I", inner world, his values, will, principles and development, all external events will be the result of his internal impulses.

2. Western and Eastern hemisphere

Another way to divide the zodiac circle is into eastern and western parts (Fig. 2).

The Eastern hemisphere is located from Capricorn to Gemini and is associated with the initiative of a person, with his personal path and will. Such a person will be proactive, strong-willed, go his own way, not looking back at anyone, perhaps he will become a pioneer in the chosen field, he will focus on himself and not seek support from other people. Such people often oppose themselves to everyone else and they have to make an effort to defend themselves and their right to be who they are. In the negative version, they, with the inability to find a balance, people with a pronounced eastern hemisphere can be very lonely.

On the other side of the circle of the drawing, the western hemisphere (from Cancer to Sagittarius) is represented with a completely opposite orientation towards other people, towards development in relationships, in interaction. Such a person does not feel well alone, he needs others, their reactions, their opinion, his development depends on the level of development of his environment, he is easily involved in solving situations and problems that have little to do with him personally. Such people are generally very flexible, sympathetic, friendly and interested in marriage, friendship and other relationships, especially those associated with obligations, even unspoken ones. In the negative version, people with a pronounced western hemisphere do not have their own position, are not decisive and weak.

The houses of the eastern hemisphere, respectively - from 10 to 3, the western - from 4 to 9.

To be continued.

Celestial equator - it is a projection onto the celestial sphere of the earth's equator. The second, no less important line is the celestial meridian. If we draw a circle through a point on the surface of the Earth (where we are) and through the north and south poles of the Earth, we get the meridian. The projection of this meridian onto the circumference of the celestial sphere is called celestial meridian. In other words, we project lines and points on the surface of the globe onto the celestial sphere. Northern and South Pole s of the Earth - the north and south poles of the celestial sphere, the celestial meridian - the projection of the earth, the earth's horizon is projected into the horizon of the celestial sphere.

The point of intersection of the ecliptic with the celestial meridian is the highest point of the catal map, which the Sun passes at noon, the highest point of the Sun's position relative to the horizon. In our latitudes, the Sun never passes through the zenith, at the zenith it occurs only in the tropical zone, - in latitudes from -23 °.5 to + 23 °.5 (from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer). The highest point corresponds to the direction to the south pole of the celestial sphere, the lowest - to the north, and the straight line connecting them corresponds to the meridian. Thus, the line connecting the highest point of the natal chart with the lowest point is a projection of the celestial meridian.

Climax - the highest (upper climax) or lowest (lower culmination) position of the luminary relative to the horizon. The luminaries always culminate on the meridian. So, we have identified two main lines - the projection onto the horizon plane and the projection onto the meridian plane.

The ecliptic also rotates relative to our horizon, making a complete revolution (360 °) per day. There are 1440 minutes in a day, which means, on average, for 4 minutes the ecliptic passes I ". The ecliptic does not rise exactly in the east, its ascending degree shifts relative to sunrise, but no more than 23 ° north or south (the result of the tilt of the earth's axis to the plane The point of intersection of the ecliptic and the horizon is the direction to the ascending degree of the ecliptic.

The degree that rises at the moment of birth has a special name - the ascendant (Asc), and opposite it - the descendant (Dsc). To determine them, there are special tables of houses. The point of intersection of the meridian with the ecliptic is designated MS (Medium Coeli - Medium of the Goal) - the middle of the sky, the lower point of intersection of the meridian with the ecliptic - 1C (Imum Coeli - Imum of the Goal). We have received four main points of the natal chart: Ascendant, Descendant, MC and 1C (Fig. 24.1). These points divide the circle into four parts, which are called quadrants of the natal chart. The quadrant adjacent to the ascendant is the first quadrant (when rotating counterclockwise), the quadrant between 1C and the descendant is the second,

from the descendant to the MC - the third, from the MC to the ascendant - the fourth.

These quadrants have other names. Since the ascendant in the natal chart coincides with the direction to the east, 1C - with the direction of the north, the first quadrant is called northeast, the second - northwest, the third - southwest and the fourth - southeast. The first quadrant is also called the intuition quadrant, the second - the emotion quadrant, the third - perception, the fourth - thinking. The first and second quadrants together form the lower or invisible hemisphere (under the horizon), the third and fourth quadrants form the visible hemisphere (above the horizon); the first and fourth quadrants form the eastern hemisphere of the natal chart, the second and third - the western.

Example. The person was born on April 18, 1993 at about 12 noon. The sun in the natal chart will be approximately between the ascendant and the MC, closer to the MC. If he was born at 13.30, then the Sun will be on the MC, because noon in Moscow according to summer time comes at 13.30, if at 1:30 at night, then the Sun is at IC, if at 6:20, then the Sun will be on the ascendant. If a person was born on April 18 from 1.30 to 6.20, then the Sun will be in the northeast quadrant, if from 6.20 to 13.30 - in the southeast quadrant, if from 13.30 to 20.40 - in the southwest quadrant, from 20.40 to 1.30 - in the north -western quadrant.

HOUSE SYSTEMS

Thus, if we place the entire ecliptic and, together with it, all the planets on the natal chart, we will get the position of the planets relative to the horizon. Each quadrant can be divided into three parts and received at home. It can be divided in different ways, since there are many parameters in astronomy: 1) by degrees of the ecliptic, counting an equal number of degrees; 2) along the horizon. Since the horizon is tilted with respect to the ecliptic, we can count 30° along the circumference of the horizon (this is already in a different coordinate system), and so on.

As a result of various systems of dividing the natal chart into houses, several different house systems arose, these house systems were formed over thousands of years, but most of them were proposed in the Middle Ages and in modern times. After checking the traditional indicators, we found out that some systems work very well, others work poorly and are gradually leaving modern astrology. Many astrologers decide for themselves which of the systems of houses is more efficient.

There is another approach. The division of the visible horizon into parts is the division of integral life into spheres. Any division of the horizon into parts in one way or another is a purely human matter. As you remember, a person is the whole Cosmos, since we proceed from the principle of similarity. The projection of the Cosmos onto the celestial sphere is a person from a certain point of view. Our perception of this person depends on where we look from (from Moscow - one image, from New York - another).

Consider, for example, the traditional issue of compatibility. You approach each person differently. One person is very good as an employee, disciplined, accurate, reliable, keeps his promises, but spending free time with him is bad - he is a bore and will ruin any company. Getting acquainted with a person, we always intuitively determine his place in our life;

when applying for a job, we look at how suitable the boss is for us, going on a trip, we evaluate a fellow traveler as a travel comrade, etc. A psychoanalyst penetrates into a person's psyche, analyzes his subconscious, the hidden sources of his actions, the head of the personnel department looks at how well a person knows how to do work, a physician looks at the physical, bodily plane of a person. This or that point of view is a certain view, the selection of one plane from a person's life.

The same thing happens when we cut the single celestial sphere by certain planes into twelve parts. I believe that every properly built system of houses is a certain point of view on a person, therefore, when evaluating the suitability of a particular system of houses, it is necessary to determine for what purpose we use this system, what questions we can answer with its help, in what cases gotta use it.

House system Placidus - main. The system of equal houses and the Koch system are also most commonly used. Outwardly, on the circle of the map, all these systems look the same: four quadrants, each of which is divided into three parts - twelve houses. In most house systems, the main points - the horizon and the Medium of Purpose (MC) - coincide. There are other systems as well. For example, in one of the Chinese systems, there are eight houses instead of twelve.

The twelve houses describe the fullness of existence, since the idea of ​​a cosmic entity, which, as an independent developing whole, is able to control its existence, is associated with the number twelve in occultism. There are twelve houses, like the signs of the Zodiac: I, II and III houses belong to the first quadrant, IV, V, VI houses - to the second, VII, VIII, IX - to the third, X, XI, XII - to the fourth. Houses are counted counterclockwise.

The house system is centrally symmetrical. This means that the ascendant is symmetrical to the descendant, the peak of the II house is centrally symmetrical to the peak of the VIII house, the peak of III is the peak of the IX house, etc. Usually marked in what degree is the top of each house. I house begins with the ascendant. The beginning of the house is called its top, or cusp of the house. In some systems, the cusp means the middle of the house. However, modern statistical studies have shown that the middle of the house does not have much influence in the map. In German-language literature, instead of the word "house" you can find the word "field".

When analyzing a map, the degree from which each house begins is important, i.e. degree standing at the top of the house. We know that having shifted by 4 minutes in longitude to the east or west, we will thereby shift by 4 minutes in local time, which means that the ascendant will change, i.e. ascending degree of the ecliptic. Therefore, we are limited in time to an interval of 2 minutes, or a zone of ± 0.5 ° in longitude and latitude; 4 minutes is 1° longitude.

To find out how many people have exactly the same natal chart as ours, we must calculate how many people are born in 4 minutes within a square on the surface of the globe, defined by sides of 1 ° in longitude and latitude. When calculating, we will limit ourselves to Moscow (a little wider), a city with a very high population density. In Moscow, on average, 90 thousand people are born a year, less than 11 people are born per hour, and less than one in 4 minutes. There are peaks, when several people are born at once within half an hour, there are recessions. According to statistics, the birth rate in Moscow, as in other major cities peace, falls. I think that nature puts a limit on a person, not allowing natal charts to repeat, i.e. fertility is limited to every square on the surface of the Earth with a side of 1 °.

We see that even in a city like Moscow, it is very rare to meet two people who have exactly the same natal charts. In the future, the moment of a person's birth will be determined to the nearest second. Already now there are works that allow you to set the time of birth, i.e. rectify the card with an accuracy of up to a minute. This suggests that astrologers reach a level of describing a person when the characteristics of an individual chart do not repeat at all - it is at the level of the natal chart that we can come to the individual characteristics of a person.

MEANINGS OF HOUSES

Why do houses count down counterclockwise? Astronomers note the daily and annual movement. From the point of view of a person living in the northern hemisphere of the globe, the Sun moves along the ecliptic and the Earth rotates counterclockwise. Since we see, as it were, a reflected movement of the celestial sphere, it seems to us that the Sun makes a daily movement in a clockwise direction. Houses are drawn in a real direction - counterclockwise. The direction of the drawing also has an occult meaning: clockwise - involutionary movement, against - evolutionary. Since the movement from the ascendant around the circle of houses characterizes the evolution of the personality, then it is necessary to draw a circle of houses counterclockwise.

I house of the natal chart is also called a horoscope, hence the second name of the natal chart is a horoscope. Word horoscope comes from a combination of Greek words: city ​​- hour, osprey - observe, i.e. observe the hour, the time. Ancient astrologers, observing rising stars, determined the ascendant and built charts.

The meaning of the 1st house is the physical body of a person, appearance, face, demeanor, movement, manner of speaking, as well as self-awareness, the activity of human nature, the temperament that manifests itself in action (not that deep, hidden temperament that is associated with the Sun, but the temperament associated with the action, i.e. with the manner of movement, manner of speech).

II house. Meaning of the II house - reserve vital energy and human strength, the ability and ability to absorb and use energy, to organize its circulation in one's own body. This house includes money, movable property earned by one's own labor, practical knowledge, skills that he acquires in the course of life.

III house. Brothers and sisters, close relatives, close trips and travels. Correspondence, practical and special education, as well as thinking, the human mind, used to solve problems in everyday life. Circle of acquaintances, friends, neighbors. - not very strong, not very long contacts, i.e. everyday human environment.

IV house. For men, this is the father's house; for women, it is the mother's house; mother in the female chart, father in the male chart. This is the father's house, own house, real estate, land that a person owns, a small homeland. The house as a whole, including those who live in it, and general atmosphere. This is also the astral matrix, which a person inherits from his parents, i.e. certain emotional, mental predispositions that a person receives from his parents.

V house. Creativity, love, children, relationships with children, the birth of children. This free time, entertainment, risk, gambling and speculation, large purchases.

VI house. Work to ensure one's life, service, service relations, the team in which a person works, relations with superiors, with subordinates, with juniors and seniors in the sense of subordination and domination, caring for relatives and families, raising children, domestic servants, pets . Diseases. If the 2nd house is health, then the 6th house is disease.

VII house. Marriage. In astrology, marriage is seen as a long, stable relationship. In the past, it was believed that people were married if they lived together and had common property. In our time, marriage means a stable relationship, so often love affairs go not so much in the 5th house as in the 7th house. This is also the house of partnership, cooperation, partnership, the house of obvious enemies, these are civil court cases; popularity, participation of a person in the activities of various groups, small teams. This is a close, intimate friendship, and an attitude to nature.

8th house. This is the money that we receive through other people, the money of a wife or husband, as well as inheritance, this is our debts, as well as the money that we lend. Acute diseases that bring a person to the brink of life and death, accidents, any meeting with death, as well as sleep. Practical occultism, practical magic (black and white), all kinds of energy practices (yoga, wushu, etc.). Death and stay in post-mortem spaces, the experience of death. Pregnancy, conception and sexual life. Traveling abroad associated with overcoming some obstacles. Violence, crime, suicide.

IX house. Distant relatives, long-distance travels and trips, stays abroad, higher education, primarily general, in contrast to special, which belongs to the III house. This is philosophy and religion, the worldview of a person, the system of his ideas about the world, his faith, his Teacher, spiritual mentors, teaching, preaching, mission. Literature, spiritual friendship.

X house. The vocation of a person, his professional activity (in contrast to the service in the VI house). Social status, honor and glory, awards, power, career, the second of the parents (in the female chart, the X house is the father, and in the male chart, the mother). The social activity of a person, the ideas that drive him in this activity, the ideas that guide him in his life.

XI house. Dreams, ideals, what a person bows to, aspirations, distant plans (as opposed to the specific goals of the IX house). These are friends of a person in terms of their way of thinking, according to their ideal, a circle of people who are close to him in terms of worldview. Social work. New, emerging in a person's life, not incorporated in his program. XII house. Emigration, imprisonment, stay in prison or hospital, as well as the result of a person's social activity. Any stay in solitude, confined spaces, in exile, in a cave, alone, outside of ordinary reality, where a person is alone with himself, in particular, an internal, closed way of life. Hidden, secret activities, secret enemies and friends, as well as a secret patron. Mystery and mystery, mysticism, esoteric teachings and knowledge. Chronic illnesses, travel abroad. This is the karma of a person, as well as the hidden, spiritual side of his life.

We have named the main meanings of houses. Houses in the aggregate should describe all aspects of a person's life. They also have more common names. So, the 1st house is called the horoscope, the house of "I", the 2nd house is the house of money and health. III - brothers and sisters, friendship, IV - father's house, own home, V - creativity and children, VI - illness and service, VII -- house of marriage, VIII - house of death, IX - religion, long journeys, X - house of success, XI - house of friends, XII - house of karma, house of exile.

Why is there such a variety of meanings associated with each house? Apparently, houses have a deeper meaning, which manifests itself in a specific form. Houses must have many meanings so that all possible forms of life can be described through them. The world is very diverse and ambiguous. Language, on the other hand, is concrete enough and not suitable for describing the most abstract meanings, so we will have to ascend from the concrete to the abstract and understand that deep, primary meaning of houses, which lies in a higher sphere and manifests itself in our daily life.

INTERPRETATION OF THE NATAL CHART TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE HOUSES

What place do houses occupy in the interpretation of the natal chart? We have already spoken of the planets as forces acting in human life. Signs are the field on which the activity of the planets unfolds. Signs are a pure possibility, a pure potency, a certain energy that colors the action of the planets in its color, modifies them, manifests itself through the planets. The planets are the main characters. The type and mode of action of the planets, the quality of their manifestation are signs, but the forms, spheres of manifestation, the place of application of the planets' activity are houses - the most concrete, most external side of our life. Houses are the structure of the earth's horizon, i.e. a place to put ideas into form.

Each force has its own type of action, its own direction, and can be embodied in many forms. If, say, we have an active Mars type with a strong strong-willed dominant in character, his will can find application both at work (independent worker, businessman), and in the circle of friends, in organizing social activities, for example, hiking. Mars can manifest itself in spiritual quests or as a desire for social success, the will and ability to make a career, or as creativity, as an activity in love - this force has many different areas of application.

Houses specify to the limit what the planets and signs give us, i.e. We consider planets in signs and in houses. Houses are an external form, a sphere of activity, they answer the question:

"where and in what form?". If, say, a planet in a sign gives us a description of the character of a person, then at home - the outer side of life;

they determine what events, situations, problems are associated with the planets and signs.

Imagine that the Sun in the natal chart is in opposition to Saturn. Then the Sun as an individual opposes Saturn as a norm, law, authority, tradition. We see a person whose character initially contains the opposition of his inner "I" and external forms imposed on him by the society in which he lives (at least he thinks so). Natal opposition can manifest itself in different ways. If the Sun is stronger than Saturn by position in the sign, then individuality will dominate, a person will actively try to overcome limitations, blow up the form, get out of control. If Saturn is stronger than the Sun, he will feel depressed, feel the pressure of the environment, which limits him, does not allow him to escape.

This opposition can pass, for example, through the I-VII houses. If the Sun is in the 1st house, then there will be a clash of individuality (1st house) and duties imposed by partnership, cooperation, marriage (Saturn in the 7th house). The person will perceive these relationships as overwhelming and fight against them. With the opposition of the II and VIII houses, the confrontation may be associated with debt obligations, this may manifest itself as a violation of the laws of natural life, rational nature. Failure to comply with these laws leads to the loss of vital energy.

If the opposition links the III and IX houses, then we can expect a clash of the norms that a person's faith, his worldview establishes with his own daily life. If this is the opposition of IV-X houses, then he will feel that parental authority suppresses him. With the opposition of the V and XI houses, the person making the plans "cannot implement them - his nature goes against his own plans (for example, he cannot fulfill his obligations due to his emotionality). There may be problems in relationships with children. Opposition VI and XI.I houses - there may be problems in the service (the need to observe discipline and unwillingness to do this).

We see that one and the same problem, one and the same character trait acquires different forms depending on which houses the planets are in. Working with the cosmogram, we see the character of a person, his fate as a whole, the tendencies of fate, and at home they show specific forms, manifestations. For example, by analyzing the Jones figures, one can determine which particular sphere the "sling" or "basket" is looking at, which houses a pair of "swings" are located in, how many planets are under the horizon and how many are above the horizon. Depending on which part has more planets, we can talk about the ratio of different sides of the character. You can count how many planets are in the east and west, highlight the dominant quadrants (where the most planets are located).

VALUE OF HEMISPHERES

What is the difference between the upper and lower hemispheres? In the upper hemisphere - what we can see with our own eyes is the activity of a person, his actions. The lower hemisphere is closed from us by the Earth, this is the inner side human life. What we do, what happens to us is the visible part, but what we experience, feel, how we relate to it, our experiences are invisible. The outer hemisphere is responsible for the external expression, for the form of the action, while the inner hemisphere is responsible for the inner part, for the content.

What is the difference between a person who has all the planets in the chart above the horizon and a person who has all the planets below the horizon line? In its purest form, a person who has all the planets above the horizon easily and freely expresses what he knows and can do, actively embodies his knowledge in form, in activity. When choosing a job, he will proceed from social opportunities, from the ability to achieve success, honor, fame, and the embodiment of his ideas that are visible to others. A person who has all the planets under the horizon is focused not on the result, but on his own attitude to what he does, i.e. it is more important for him how interesting the occupation is to him, how it corresponds to his aspirations. For him, expressing himself is more important than getting something material. This applies not only to work, but also to human relations, any action.

A person who has all the planets above the horizon looks at the world objectively, for him the most important thing is the form of expression of actions, behavior. In love, in relationships with those close to him, experiences are not so much important as the external expression of these relationships, he sees in everything, first of all, the form. He quickly translates everything into a result, no matter what he undertakes, but his knowledge and attitudes are somewhat formal, superficial, because, studying something, he takes on a form. For example, faith for him is the correct observance of all actions: going to church, bowing at the right time, etc. If he follows the rules, he considers himself religious. For a person who has planets under the horizon, faith will be expressed mainly in feelings, experiences, but it is difficult for him to express himself, he goes into depth, trying to comprehend some subtleties, nuances.

People who have planets above the horizon are more socially successful, and those who have planets below the horizon are less successful, but if the latter have achieved something, then this is quite deep and serious.

On the ascendant - at the point of sunrise - the invisible becomes visible, from the internal it passes into the external (Fig. 24.2). The ascendant is the point of birth. Planets standing near the ascendant or aspecting it indicate the features of the birth, for example, Uranus, standing on the ascendant, accelerates birth ("rapid birth"). Visible to others is ours appearance, face and body, our actions. An act is an expression of the invisible visible to others - our thoughts, feelings, intentions, what is inside us, "below the horizon".

At the point of the ascendant, an action is performed that turns our intention into an act, which means that the type of human activity, his behavior is determined precisely by the ascendant. But there is something in our soul that is invisible to us. Psychologists call it subconscious or unconscious. These are invisible processes in the psyche, and the memory of past lives, and forbidden inclinations and desires, and much more. All this becomes "visible" for me, when it is realized by me, turns into a thought, which means that the ascendant is also connected with awareness or self-consciousness. So, the ascendant is both the acting "I" of a person, which manifests itself in the physical world, and the conscious "I". These two poles of the "I" together form an active principle in a person, it can be conditionally called an active force.

The Descendant brings the outside into the inside, the visible into the invisible. Visible, external - this is the external world, internal, invisible - our inner life, feelings, sensations, images, thoughts. On the descendant, the external world turns into our internal one, here the world influences a person, his perception of the world takes place. This means that on the Ascendant a person acts in the world, on the Descendant the world acts on him. The line ascendant - descendant, the horizontal line of the card (Fig. 24.3), forms the line "I" - "You", i.e. the so-called horizontal relationships, the relationship of a person with other people (we got the value of the 1st house through the ascendant).

It turns out that in the natal chart, the east is the sphere of our activity. In the east, the planets move from a latent phase to a more and more manifest phase, up to a maximum manifestation at the zenith. Thus, the east is the sphere of activity, the west is the sphere of receptivity - two poles of interaction with the world. "Oriental" people, i.e. with most planets in the east

parts of the map, by their nature, tend to actively act in the world, boldly, freely realize their own desires, intentions, actions. They act based on their own needs and impulses and do not tend to take into account the aspirations and desires of other people.

"Western" type, i.e. people with the majority of planets in the western part of the map, on the contrary, are susceptible to external influences, their actions are, first of all, a response to the request that the world offers them. If "eastern" people work well both alone and in a group, but do not like to be led, then people who have all the planets in the west work well in a team, can be active wherever there are partners; alone it is difficult for them to gather, they have no motivating impulse. They take into account in their actions the reaction of others, their aspirations.

The "Eastern" person feels freer, it seems to him that he himself organizes the world around him, and the "Western" is forced (according to his type of perception) to reckon with circumstances all the time. But the "Eastern" person is programmed no less than the "Western", if not by external circumstances, then by his own aspirations and thoughts, which are born under the influence of the same planets, he resembles a bulldozer with program control - he can climb ahead, but is not free from a program that embedded in it. And yet, to the "Eastern" man it seems that he is free.
