In the outer wheel of the chart are the symbols for the zodiac signs.

If you know the meanings of the signs, you can match them with the meanings of the houses.

You’ll notice that the houses don’t line up with the signs. The main sign for each house is the one in which the beginning line (cusp) sits. But you can also look at the other sign in the house.

For example, the left-hand end of the horizontal line (red in my charts) is the cusp of the 1st House, which describes you, how the world sees you.

If this is in the sign of Gemini , you know that you (1st House) are curious, adaptable, talkative and like variety (Gemini).

The 2nd House cusp will most likely be in the following sign, Cancer . So you may earn income (2nd House) in a job nurturing others, eg nurse (Cancer).

Here is a list of the SYMBOLS and some possible meanings of the SIGNS…….

Aries independent, adventurous, impatient

Taurus patient, reliable, slow

Gemini versatile, quick witted, changeable

Cancer sensitive, maternal, moody

Leo magnetic, optimistic, autocratic

Virgo analytical, industrious, fussy

Libra sociable, cooperative, gullible

Scorpio intense, determined, secretive

Sagittarius open minded, generous, tactless

Capricorn ambitious, disciplined, rigid

Aquarius humanitarian, progressive, eccentric

Pisces sensitive, compassionate, vague

Have fun with this.
