Astrological Houses – Ascendant -1st houses

Astrological Houses – Ascendant:

Interpreting the characteristics of the Ascendant in an Astrological Chart and what the 1st house represents.

People interested in astrology, can usually be heard asking others what their rising sign is. The rising sign or Ascendant is the astrological sign rising above the horizon at the time of birth. While your sun sign represents your individuality-what is inside, the rising sign is your personality, physical appearance and self-awareness. The 1st house is how a person presents themselves to the world.

The Birth Houses Explained

The twelve astrological houses of your chart are considered the areas or “where” energies operate. A house containing planets will have a different energy signature than one that is empty. Birth time is essential to calculate the houses positions within the zodiac.

The houses are divided into four sections each representing an aspect of life. The ascendant is part of the trinity of life and represents the “body”. The 1st house is considered angular, along with the fourth, seventh and tenth house. An angular house emphasizes activity in that part of your life. Aries is the natural ruler with Mars the natural planet. The theme of Aries is “I am” the underlying theme of the 1st house.

When the Sun sign and Ascendant are the same outward appearance/behavior are more in sync with the inner personality of the individual. When the two are in conflict with each other, such as a Cancer Sun and Aries ascendant energy vibrations contribute to a duality in who the person is and how they act. This can be especially true when the elements are not compatible. The passive, gentle nature of Cancer (Water) can be hidden behind the out-going, self-centeredness of an Aries (Fire).

Understanding How to Read a Chart

When the elements (Fire, Earth, Air & Water) are the same for the sun and ascendant, it can than emphasize those element characteristics. A Pisces (water) sun combined with Scorpio (water) ascendant can make it very difficult to know and understand this person. Both water signs have deeply hidden emotions.

When reading a chart, the 1st house is essential to understand how this person shows themselves to the world. In the case of the Pisces with Scorpio ascendant, unless there are aspects to contradict, I would expect the person to be below to average height, dark hair and very reserved in their manner towards others. They will be at either end of the extreme when it comes to sensual pleasures. But watch out because the flexibility of a Pisces sun may give way to the fixed sign of Scorpio resulting in the Piscean drawing the line in the sand and refusing to budge.

How a person views life can be seen in the 1st house. Are they positive or negative, pessimistic or optimistic? If there are any planets residing in the house with aspects to it, again the whole energy pattern changes. Aspects to the Ascendant itself can also change the interpretation.

The key to remember with the 1st house is the sign and planets located there, along with any aspects will show you the face that person presents to the world, their outlook on life and how they view the world.

Tarsus - Ancient Tarsus in Asia Minor -Tarsus, Mersin, Turkey

Tarsus-Ancient Tarsus in Asia Minor Site of one of the oldest Middle East settlements, Tarsus played a prominent role in the histories of competing Near East and Mediterranean empires. Often overlooked in ancient history, the strategic city Tarsus, located in southern Asia Minor, may have been one of the first great “university towns.” Often associated with its “favorite son” Paul, the city was associated with a fair crop of ancient world notables. According the legend, Adam’s son, Seth, died in the region when it was a fourth millennium BC settlement. Fertile lands, a good port, and proximity to the roads connecting Asia Minor with Syria and Mesopotamia enabled Tarsus to prosper while escaping the fate of other great ancient cities during periods of competing conquests. From the Assyrians to the Romans Although it is agreed that Tarsus, as a city, was first established by the Assyrians in the 9th century BC, scholars conflict over which king was responsible. King Assurbanipal is given

American Comics Strips of the 1950s

american comic strips of the 1950s Mid-century and the rise of television saw the story strip give way to the humor feature in U.S. newspapers. Television had a greater influence on the newspaper comics business than any other development of the fifties. At the decade’s start, 3.1 million American homes had a TV set. This led to a newspaper-TV battle, which Editor & Publisher in 1951 called “a contest for the readers’ time in which no holds are barred.” Sudsy Solutions Also Read Were comic books popular in the 1950s? Some strips based on TV shows such as “Howdy Doody” and “I Love Lucy” were developed, but most of these were short-lived. Publishers and editors instead focused on creating “alternatives” to broadcast entertainment. The radio soap opera was replaced by realistically drawn comic strips about conventional people like doctors, lawyers, and judges. This wave was led by Elliot Caplin and Stan Drake’s “The Heart of Juliet Jones” and Leonard Starr’s “On Stage.” Some of t

Aries and cancer compatibility - Aries woman and Cancer man

Aries and cancer compatibility When it comes to Aries woman and Cancer man , it is balancing between the outgoing and extrovert nature of the former with the comfort loving and introvert characteristics of the latter. Both Aries and Cancer have great attraction for each other but to ensure the relation works perfectly for long time they have to work hard. Otherwise, the attraction would wane too soon leaving them poles apart from each other. Aries woman may find Cancer man a bit possessive and restraining and difficult to understand due to frequent mood swings. Problem point in the relationship is that while great understanding and adjustments are required, both of these partners are stubborn as well as inflexible in nature. If each of the two partners bends a little, the relationship could flourish into one of the best possible while if the two do not relinquish their stubborn obstinacy, the relationship could be damaged beyond repair.
