If you’re ever had your birth chart read by an astrologer (or you’ve done a DIY reading!), you know the chart is actually a zodiac sign wheel divided into 12 sections. These 12 sections are called houses. Each house is ruled by one of the 12 zodiac signs and focuses on different life topics such as identity, home, career, or relationships.
Your individual chart’s house placements might vary because they’re based on your exact birth date, time, and location. However, understanding the zodiac sign wheel order, images, and signs they’re ruled by can help you better understand your chart.
Here, we have the astrological wheel—including all 12 signs of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and so on.
Fiery Aries rules the first House, associated with the self, identity, personality, and self-expression. It’s all about who you are. This house is also where you find your rising sign.
Taurus lives in the second House of money, personal finance, and your material and physical environment. This House also covers your sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
The third house ruled by Gemini focuses on all forms of communication, including talking, emailing, social media, and digital devices. It also includes siblings and local traveling.
The fourth House is your foundation and your roots. It touches on your home, parents, family, lineage, and privacy.
In true Leo fashion, the fifth House is all about pleasure, fun, play, creativity, romance, children, and good fortune.
The sixth house deals with all things health-related, such as your wellness routines, self-care, and physical and mental wellbeing. And, thanks to Virgo energy, this House also thrives on scheduling, time management, and organization.
This is the house of relationships and partnerships, romantic and otherwise. It also incorporates contracts, marriages, and negotiations.
Mysterious Scorpio vibes are infused in the eighth House that rules birth, death, transformation, sex, and all things supernatural.
The ninth House encompasses all things travel and not just literally traveling around the world but also traveling of the mind via education and the journeys we go on as humans.
The tenth house ruled by Capricorn is about your career, reputation, popularity, how the public sees you, achievements, and the legacy you’re leaving behind.
Aquarius in the 11th House focuses on friendships and the people who uplift and support you in your life. It’s also connected to community and humanitarian work.
And last but certainly not least, Pisces in the 12th House rules the unconscious—all the things that aren’t materialized in the physical realm, such as our shadows, secrets, desires, and emotions.
Yes, zodiac signs are a real thing. See below.
Yup!
Nope! Despite the frenzy over a possible 13th zodiac sign (we’re looking at you, Ophiuchus), there have always been only 12 zodiac signs in the astrological system.
Every person has one sun sign (i.e., the astrological season you were born in), but they’ll also have other signs in different placements in their birth chart.
