The Four Sectors of The Natal Chart

astrollusion:

One way to look at the Natal Chart is like a cycle of our life and each sector represents a phase of life.

Angular Houses: Where our identity is born and readjusted through our lifetime.

• 1st House/Ascendant: The person we are born as, our raw personality
• 4th House/Imum Coeli: The person we become because of the influence of our family
• 7th House/Descendant: The person we are in our relationships
• 10th House/Midheaven: The person we create to show to the rest of the world, who we grow up to be

Succeedent Houses: Succeedent houses feed the angular house before it, it feeds our identity.

• 2nd House: The security we were secured with as children and the values we were taught to contribute to our personality.
• 5th House: The fun and creativity that coloured our childhood
• 8th House: The things we learn to sacrifice and share in order to sustain our relationships
• 11th House: The skills and team coordination we gain and use for the good of others

Cadent Houses: The houses that finish the chapter of the particular sector, the result of the previous two houses.

• 3rd House: Our childhood dynamics, the way we approach education and learn to express ourselves 
• 6th House: The way we want to help others in response to our own childhood experiences
• 9th House: Our personal belief system based off our external experiences with the world and other people.
• 12th House: Our spirituality, our hidden selves that have been made up of all the previous houses
