Everything that is related to your self identity, and even how we begin things and start taking initiative is ruled by the first house. It includes not just how others perceive us, but also how one perceives the self. The first house of astrology represents first impressions - how we are perceived, how we dress and how we appear to others.

The First House of Astrology: The House of Self View Deck The 12 Houses of Astrology House The houses are simply the areas of life, not the experience of it. The houses are rather where these energies are destined to appear. The planets and zodiac signs will show themselves most emphatically in the area in life represented by the house in which they fall on your natal chart. To be clear, the houses are not quite energies like the zodiac signs or planets, nor do they add color to the outflow of energies like the zodiac signs do. The 12 houses of astrology represent every one of the aspects that make up human life. This happens to be yet another reason why the well known Sun Sign Horoscopes may not be very helpful: they are composed under the pretense that everybody has their Sun in the first House. This makes for a very imprecise horoscope. This could make for two altogether different sorts of individuals. For instance, two individuals may both have a Leo Sun sign, however one may have their Leo Sun in their twelfth house, while the other may have their Leo Sun in their first house. Through the lens of these two wheels, the planets in your natal chart give 2 distinct ways of looking at your personality: first as being within a zodiac sign, and furthermore as being within a house. The 2 wheels consolidate at special points that are determined by your birth time and birth location. The wheel of the zodiac depends on the sun's yearly revolution around our Earth, along the ecliptic, while the houses depend on our Earth's 24-hour pivot around its own axis. Understanding The Two Wheels of Astrology: The 12 Houses and the 12 Zodiac Signs It may be confusing at first, but these houses are not the same as what we know more commonly as the wheel of the zodiac. Instead these two circles within astrology are rather unique. From podcasts to classes to virtual meetups, they offer the gift of their insight and wisdom and we are lucky to receive them.In Astrology, there are 12 Houses, all of which are organized on a wheel. These astrologers wear many hats, as teachers, intuitives, coaches, and activists. In the spirit of uplifting Black astrologers and the dynamic lens they bring to the ancient art of reading the stars, I’ve gathered the names of several people who can guide you expertly into the wild unknown and show you what you need to learn to be your better self, if you let them. While it may not solve the immediate problems of our dangerous infrastructures, it’s true that listening to and supporting the works of Black people who grapple with the world we live in and the events within it a step toward liberation.

The spotlight on Black content creators has shown brightly this summer, a concentrated media response of solidarity with the racial justice uprisings that flooded our streets after George Floyd’s death. There’s always room for new and nuanced perspectives, especially in the limitless world of the stars.


Just because you love reading one astrologer doesn’t mean you can't add a few more to your roster.
