There are at least 40 house systems for astrologers to choose from. Although how the house systems are derived can be complex there are basically two classifications: Quadrant/Equal division, and Lunes/Semi-arc.
Astrological Houses of the Zodiac
The First House is called the Ascendant. The sign of the Zodiac on its cusp is called the rising sign. It represents the individual's basic point of reference toward life, his self-awareness, how his experiences are assimilated and how he responds to outside stimuli.
