Apis Astrology

The correct House system for natal astrology is Whole-Sign Houses. This means counting the Ascending Sign as your entire 1st House, then counting through the Zodiac to find subsequent Houses:

House 1

This is your Ascendant. It has a significant role in determining how you look, as well as your default mode of interacting with the world.If you have Gemini Rising, your default response to the world is going to be to talk to people, ask questions, perceive eye-catching details and make jokes.If you have Mars Rising, you're going to be more energetic, overtly aggressive and sexed-up than the average person. If you're male, you're more likely to be muscular.

House 2

Finances, possessions, health, hygiene, sleep, diet and cooking, as well as your general sense of calm and wellbeing.If the Lord of the 2nd House (L2) is in a difficult condition, this can indicate eating disorders, money troubles or anxiety.If L2 is in aspect to Saturn, you might manage the finances of someone richer than you. You might also be respected as someone who's mastered a particular form of cooking.

House 3
