The image zooms in on the table that lists each of the planets and points in the chart along with the symbol representing each planet and point; a symbol representing the sidereal zodiac sign occupied by each planet and point; and the degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.

AC: (symbol for the sign Aquarius) 11° 27' 5" is circled.

Bring your focus to the small box in the bottom left corner of the page. You can circle or otherwise highlight the portion of box at the bottom that says “AC.” That’s your RISING SIGN. (Also called your Ascendant or Ascendant sign. It is also the sign of your first house.) Make note of the SIDEREAL ZODIAC SIGN symbol to the right of the colon.

In the SIDEREAL ZODIAC SIGNS & SYMBOLS table find the symbol that matches the one you noted in the previous step. Make note of the name.

In the HOUSES IN MY BIRTH CHART table, find the name of the sign you previously noted in the far left column. Circle that sign name and the entire row of numbers following it.

Houses in my Sidereal Birth Chart Table. How to find which sidereal sign falls in which house in your sidereal birth chart.

This table features 12 rows and 12 columns.

The far left column lists the 12 sidereal rising signs from top to bottom. It says: Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini.

The subsequent boxes in each row are numbered using 12 numbers representing the 12 houses in a sidereal birth chart.

The top row lists the signs in each house from left to right. It says: Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini.

The intersection of each column and row creates a box with a number inside that names the house number of each sign. Example, the first box says 1. It meets at the intersection of RISING SIGN Cancer in the left column and SIGNS IN EACH HOUSE Cancer in the top row.

Each box you’ve circled contains a house number. The SIGNS IN EACH HOUSE columns tells you which sidereal sign corresponds with each house number. The colored block in each row numbered 1 represents the sign in the first house of your sidereal birth chart. That sign is the same as the RISING SIGN in your birth chart.]

This table is helpful for understanding how transits personally impact you such as a new moon or full moon. Use the 2024 Sidereal Astrology Guide for a personal application of the Divination For Liberation Sidereal Astrology of the year. No previous knowledge required!
