Every Sign in Every House: All 144 Placement Meanings

This hub lists every sign in every house. There are 12 houses, 12 signs, and 144 ways those two systems can combine in a natal chart. Each combination has a specific flavor that this set of pages covers, one at a time.

Houses describe areas of life: the 1st is the body and the self, the 7th is partnership, the 10th is career, the 4th is home. Signs describe character: Aries fights, Taurus settles, Gemini talks, Cancer protects, and so on through the twelve. When a sign sits on the cusp of a house, that sign's character colors the entire topic of that house.

The same person can have Aries on the 7th (partnership) and Capricorn on the 10th (career), and the two life areas will feel different in completely predictable ways. The Aries 7th will partner with fighters. The Capricorn 10th will build a career slowly and seriously. Same chart, different flavors per room.

ZODIA uses Whole Sign houses, the original Hellenistic system. In Whole Sign, your rising sign rules the entire 1st house and each subsequent sign rules each subsequent house in order. So if you are Aries rising, your houses run Aries (1st), Taurus (2nd), Gemini (3rd), Cancer (4th), Leo (5th), Virgo (6th), Libra (7th), Scorpio (8th), Sagittarius (9th), Capricorn (10th), Aquarius (11th), Pisces (12th). This system is the most consistent across the historical record and the one we use here.

Find your rising sign at our free birth chart calculator. Once you have your house layout, use the matrix below to read each placement. Read your 1st (your body and presentation), your 7th (your partnership), your 10th (your career), and your 4th (your home) first. Those four houses (the angular houses) are the most concrete and the most useful to start with.
