Based on his birth time, Donald Trump has a Gemini sun in his 11th house. The 11th house is a house that represents peers, community, and networks — including social media. Thus: Donald Trump is a person who feels most himself when he is expressing his ideas to a variety of groups and communities around him. He is not fixed in his thinking; thus he may express himself differently depending on the group.
Based on his birth time, Joe Biden has a Scorpio sun in the 12th house. The 12th house is a house that represents “behind the scenes” — whether it be work behind the scenes, wanting to be more isolated, or subconscious thinking. Thus: Joe Biden is a person who feels most himself when he retreats and can be alone with his thoughts/emotions. Though he resonates emotionally with the world around him and can connect with groups of people on an emotional level, he prefers acting behind the scenes and sees solitude as respite. He’s never going to be a Twitter/“X”— president.
Elements of the universe:
Fire, air, earth, and water. If you think about how those elements are discussed in everyday vernacular, you can get a sense of their representation. E.g.: a fiery person, an airy person, a grounded person, a watery person.
Modality of that element:
Cardinal (beginning), fixed (middle), and mutable (end). Let’s say our element is fire. A cardinal fire would be just starting; A fixed fire would be raging and ongoing; and a mutable fire is a fire that we could keep going or choose to extinguish— the choice us ours.
The Zodiac sign of that element expressing the different modalities:
There are 12 Zodiac signs, some of which you may be familiar with: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
The rulership of that Zodiac sign as discovered in astronomy:
Each sign has a planet “ruler” (in modern astrology, some signs even have multiple following the discovery of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) that govern(s) how the element’s modality is expressed. Taurus and Libra, for example, are ruled by Venus.
Fire:
Aries (cardinal, Mars); Leo (fire, fixed, Sun); Sagittarius (fire, mutable, Jupiter)
Air:
Libra (air, cardinal, Venus); Aquarius (air, fixed, Saturn/Uranus); Gemini (air, mutable, Mercury)
Earth:
Capricorn (earth, cardinal, Saturn); Taurus (earth, fixed, Venus), Virgo (earth, mutable, Mercury)
Water:
Cancer (water, cardinal), Scorpio (water, fixed), Pisces (water, mutable)
In addition to having rulerships, each planet represents a certain area of a person’s life. The Sun, for example, is thought to represent the self/the soul’s vitality. And each Zodiac sign also represents a different part of a person’s life. In astrology, these areas fall into 12 “houses” — or sects of a Zodiac wheel representing the life cycle of a person. On the zodiac wheel, Aries, for example governs the first house— which is thought to be the house of self, self-identity/expression.
1st House:
Self, self-expression, how you perceive the world/how people perceive you
2nd House:
Possessions (material security) with the exception of one’s physical house; and self-worth (emotional security)
3rd House:
Communication, early education, short distance travel, siblings, neighbors, relatives
4th House:
Home (e..g, who, what, where feel like home), so parents/who raised you, inner security, and your home environment
5th House:
Creativity & Self Expression. Known as the “house of fun”— encompasses dating, social life, creativity, children, as well as one’s inner child
6th House:
Work you do for others/in service of others; also in service of yourself (e.g., your mental and physical health, day-to-day routines)
7th House:
1:1 Relationships — known as the “house of marriage,” but this can also refer to business partnerships, super tight friendships, and also legal matters.
8th House:
Transformation, passions, more “societally-taboo” topics
9th House:
Foreign and long-distance travel, higher education, pursuit of beliefs or higher thinking
10th House:
Public life — can be career related (though there is a specific career planet) or just how you present yourself to the public in terms of your public expression
11th House:
Peers, communities, acquaintances, social networks
12th House:
“Behind the scenes,” also subconscious, solitude, quiet thinking, meditation, and mental health
This is known as a person’s rising sign, which is determined by what time they were born. Hence why birth times are critical for a super specific reading. I won’t overwhelm you with knowledge of the relationships between planets, degrees of planets, the various types of charts, etc. Like I said, it’s a language.
Ascendant/Rising: As I mentioned, the rising sign is the sign governing your first house. The rising sign is understood to be both the filter in which you perceive the world, as well as the way in which other people perceive you.
As an example, Donald Trump is a Leo rising. Leo is a fire sign, a fixed sign, and ruled by the Sun. What this means is that, in his highest expression people perceive him as warm, charismatic, and loyal. In his lowest expression, people perceive him as angry, egotistical, and narcissistic.
Sun:
Reminder that Sun is thought represent to your self/your sense of vitality. Sun rules the sign Leo
Moon:
Moon is thought to represent your emotions/ how you feels/your emotional sensitivity and inner security. Moon rules the sign Cancer
Mercury:
Mercury is thought to represent how you think/how you communicate — namely your overall mentality. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo
Venus:
Venus is thought to represent your values/your creative self-expression/and how you experience love (especially in romantic relationships). Venus rules Taurus and Libra
Mars:
Mars is thought to represent how you take action/what angers you/your energetic passion
