In the event that your rising sign is of a late degree, thereby making the vast majority of the first house occupied by the sign after the ascending sign, how should your first house be interpreted? Does this make any difference, or do we truly only look at the sign on the cusp of each house? If so, (if I'm using equal house, for the sake of simplicity)then in my chart only 2.5 degrees of any given house belong to the sign on the cusp. Help! IP: Logged |

The sign on your cusp is what your Ascendant is. If you have a planet in your first, like Mercury, and it's in the next sign (like your ascendant is in Pisces but your Mercury is in Aries), you'd interpret that planet as the sign that its in and it still shines in your first.My Ascendant is at 27 Gemini. The majority of my first is taken up by Cancer, but I'm still Gemini Rising. Libra rules my 5th house. I have Pluto in that house but it's in Scorpio. Pluto is in Scorpio in my 5th, and is augmented by the fact that the cusp is in Libra. IP: Logged |

I think what bothers me is that so many interpretations make the assumption that if your ascendant is one sign, then the entire first house is influenced solely by that sign, and then the interpretations go on to describe your second, third, fourth house, etc... it's very general.I like what you said about the cusp sign augmenting the non-cusp-sign placements within the house. That I can buy. Thanks for your response! IP: Logged |

...which leads me to another question: when you say augments, do you mean that you combine the significance of 5th house Libra with the placement of Pluto in Scorpio in the fifth? (As in, both apply?)IP: Logged |

I think what I mean is that my ascendant is Sag, but the majority of my first house is Capricorn. I identify strongly with that, but most interpretations don't give me that analysis because my first house is read as Sagittarius. This would make my 2nd house Capricorn, but in my second I have Venus in Aquarius, and these are two very different energies. I get confused because most interpretations are all or nothing, and those analyses don't ring true for me, however, I also don't think I can pick and choose which interpretations feel right... Forgive my Libra moon while I sort through this.  IP: Logged |
