Under the tropical natal chart method, each house is not an equal size on your chart – some will be smaller and others larger. Each house represents a different aspect or theme of life and they give the placement of the planets specific meaning. The houses are all the pie-shaped sections numbered from 1-2 in the center of the circle. In addition, each zodiac sign belongs to a certain element (air, water, earth, or fire) and orientation (cardinal, mutable, or fixed). There are 12 zodiac signs represented by glyphs around the chart, your rising sign will be shown on the middle left and the signs are placed in order around the circle each representing 30 degrees with notches for every 5 degrees (larger notches for every 10 degrees).Įach zodiac sign has its own personality including both light and shadow (or negative and positive) traits.
