So, test yourself now to see if you understand. The 2nd House starts at 26 degrees Cancer. The 1st House starts at just under the 20 mark of Gemini, so I would read that as 21 degrees Gemini. See how the lines don’t match up with the signs? The lines that go from the center of the circle to the outside are the houses and the colored sections on the outside are the signs. Sometimes you get a bigger slice than the other guy. They are numbered in a counterclockwise motion and are usually labeled closest to the center of a chart. SIGNS ARE ALWAYS 30 DEGREES, BUT HOUSES ARE NOT. In my chart, one of my houses is 46 degrees wide and another is only 23 degrees. The only thing you can rely on is the House #1 always starts at the 9 o’clock point and House #7 at the 3 o’clock position (the horizon line). Houses are NOT all 30 degrees each (unless you are using whole-sign houses, which is not very common). Now this is where most people get confused. Many times, the degrees are not numbered at all… just remember each sign is 30 degrees and divide it up for yourself. You just have to realize that 15 is halfway between 10 and 20. Not all programs that do charts will show all the single degree marks. The degrees are numbered from 0 at the beginning of the sign all the way through 29 counting in a counterclockwise direction. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces (there is a chart at the end of the post to identify the glyphs).Įach sign is 30 degrees each. In astrology there are 12 signs of the zodiac. In astrology, we read the degrees going in a counterclockwise direction. A circle is a full 360 degrees all the way around.
It is time to go back to high school geometry! Your natal chart is laid out on a circle.
