House Cusp Signs: Quick Reference
1 min read
The sign on a house cusp describes how that area of life unfolds, while the house ruler points to another part of the chart. Use the matrix below to compare all twelve houses across the zodiac signs. In quadrant systems such as Placidus, the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th house cusps correspond to the four angles: the Ascendant, Imum Coeli, Descendant, and Midheaven. Select those cells to open the angle pages. If the birth time is uncertain, avoid fine-grained interpretations.
