Meanings of the 12 Houses of the Zodiac

*********.
ARIES Ascendant and Nature of House Lords
Posted on July 23, 2013 by Karen White 0 Comments

The native with Aries lagna (aka ascendant or rising sign) is

beginning a new cycle of self-actualization. This causes them to be
possessed of great impulse, strength and will of an initiatory type. The Aries
native is harnessing energy for some personal, yet purposeful activity.
There is great energy directed towards finding ones niche in life, but this
may put them into unstable or unmanageable situations, as the
consequences of their actions are rarely considered in advance. The nature is
courageous and passionate. Great emphasis is placed on the use of the will
and directness is a noticeable quality. They consider things very much from a
personal point of view.
The evolutionary goal is to develop the opposing quality of Libra. Balance
must be developed in their activities. They must learn to consider the price
they must pay for their actions and endeavors and become more pragmatic.
This is likely to give partners that are more pragmatic in their actions, or
partners that force a need upon the native to be more pragmatic.

The Meaning of the House Lords for Aries Ascendant

Sun as 5th Lord
The Sun is the Rams horns, which, growing from the third eye,
indicates will and intuitive and creative intelligence.
The Sun represents the Aries natives independent spirit and heart. It gives
great inspiration to their character, powerful intelligence, independent
thinking, and the ability to acquire self-knowledge as well as making them
independent learners. The Sun as the 5th lord causes their health to be
dependent upon following their inspirations. The Sun gives luck and
knowledge and is a temporal benefic, though as a natural malefic the Sun
may separate the Aries lagna native from those things it influences as a
sacrifice for their self-development, learning or inspirations.

Moon as 4th Lord

The Moon is the Rams roaming in his environment.
The Moon represents the Aries natives fickle mentality, fluctuating emotions,
erratic search for happiness, and changeable environment. The Moon also
gives them a reflective and contemplative mentality, though what they
prefer to contemplate is themselves, not out of any selfish reasons, but only
because they are discovering so much about themselves.

The Moon as an angular lord is temporally neutral, if dark and naturally

malefic it may give the discontent that causes neglect, if bright if gives a
caring quality that furthers anything along.

Mars as 1st and 8th Lord

Mars is the Rams powerful head-butt, capable of great destruction.
Aries, representing the beginning of a new cycle, generally has to go through
some huge transitions in life before finding themselves. It is Mars, through
his lordship of the 1st and 8th house, which causes the personal
transformations required to create a new identity. Mars, therefore, represents
the Aries natives generally impulsive and sometimes cataclysmic lifestyle.
Mars gives great regenerative abilities, and lends strength and courage to
the personality that comes from the willingness to confront the unknown as
well as the willingness to suffer the death (signified by the 8th house) of any
situation. As the lagna lord it gives a headstrong nature, that due to its 8th
house lordship may land them in trouble.
Ruling the Lagna, Mars is a temporal benefic as Mars is responsible for
carving out their proper place in life. As a natural malefic, however, he may
disrupt those things he influences when the native changes his ideas and
thoughts about those things he is most strongly identified with, or he may
bring disruption in order that the native changes their thoughts and ideas.

Mercury as 3rd and 6th Lord

Mercury is the Rams physical and intellectual dexterity.
Mercury represents the Aries natives very rational intellect that is
particularly of benefit when put to use in solving problems. It gives them
great engineering ability as well as a talent for healing the body. If Mercury is
combined with the Sun, or on an angle from the Sun, then these abilities are
greatly pronounced.
Due to its 6th house lordship, Mercury gives many problems to the
realization of the desires signified by the 3rd house. The 3rd and 6th houses,
being two houses of effort, and ruled by the intellectual planet Mercury
inclines the Aries native to do as much as they can with their intellect.
Mercury, being the planet of skills and dexterity, gives great physical talents
through its lordship of the 3rd and 6th houses. The 3rd and 6th houses are

both Upachaya houses (houses of increase) indicating that Mercury gives a

budding intelligence that results in an increasing amount of skills and talents.
Since Mercury rules two evil houses it becomes temporally malefic,
indicating intellectual competitiveness, and a self-centered pursuit of their
interests, though Mercury also causes them to play fair, even in war. As a
natural benefic, however, Mercury gives them the practical intelligence and
skills that help them get what they want.

Jupiter as 9th and 12th Lord

Jupiter is the Rams golden fleece; the protection of it as well as the
quest for it.
Jupiter represents the Aries natives innate faith and capacity for surrender.
Jupiter causes them to have faith in surrender as loss turns to fortune more
often than not. It gives a strong idealism that they will willingly suffer loss on
account of. Jupiter grants them happiness through foreign travels and this
makes them great pioneers of the globe.
Due to its 9th house lordship Jupiter is a powerful temporal benefic and a
planet of great fortune. Due to the 12th lordship, however, Jupiter may give
some losses or expense that help maintain the natives pursuit of their
dharma, although, as a natural benefic, even these losses are nothing but
long term investments resulting in greater prosperity and happiness.

Venus as 2nd and 7th Lord

Venus is the Rams libido, in fact they smell of their musky semen.
Venus represents the Aries natives desire for partnership, as well as giving
passionate tastes. Since Venus rules the 2nd house of possessions it inclines
towards some possessiveness, but just as well makes them inclined for
marriage and family life, as well as making them good providers. With
others, Venus gives them diplomacy enabling them to be convincing
speakers.
Venus inclines them to be proud of their partners and possessions and gives
them the desire for only the finest. Venus also gives them a healthy capacity
to enjoy and love these as well. Venus is a temporal neutral for Aries lagna,
and although Venus expects a lot from her partners, she will keep her end of
any bargain. As a natural benefic, Venus gives luxury, comfort and pleasure
through possessions and members of the opposite sex.

Saturn as 10th and 11th Lord

Saturn is the Rams lone nature that prefers them to wander off and
scale individual heights.
Saturn, as 10th and 11th lord, indicates a strong desire for status and
success that serves to bolster any insecurity that the native may have.
Saturn causes them to dislike any authority figures or groups that may be a
threat to their individuality, and they tend to have difficult experiences with
these as well. These all contributes to making them happier when they work
for themselves and maintain their independence.
Saturn also prefers them to maintain some separation from the group, unless
they are the authority figure in the group. Saturn gives delays in success and
status, which serve to humble the native along the way. Success and fame,
however, may be lasting once earned. Due to ruling the 11th house, Saturn
becomes temporally malefic and may give great selfishness and coldness
when it comes to the pursuit of status, career, income, honors, desires, etc.
Since
Saturn is also a natural malefic, it becomes the most malefic planet for Aries
and causes separation and loss that is the result of ambition.
