Chapter 2: The Review of Astrological Theory
After having thoroughly reviewed his astrological knowledge and consulted with some astrologers, for three weeks, Cuasimodo Fiestero read aloud his summary of astrological notions:
"Each house constitutes a definite and immutable part of the person's life (closely related to the zodiacal signs and the planets), in this way:
House 1: the ego.
House 2: the possessions.
House 3: the communication.
House 4: the family.
House 5: the emotions and pleasures.
House 6: the work and health.
House 7: the partners.
House 8: the sex and transformation.
House 9: the knowledge.
House 10: the social status.
House 11: the friendships.
House 12: the subconscious.
House 1 (the ego):
It represents personality, body and spiritual essence of the individual; which are continually developing.
House 2 (the possessions):
It constitutes the ability to produce wealth and the skills to manage physical and financial resources.
House 3 (the communication):
It includes the skills to communicate with others, linked to empathy, reception, interpretation and understanding of messages, and the rational and emotional responses.
House 4 (the family):
It symbolizes the ties with our relatives (from the ancestors to the parents) and the home (protective environment); which are reflected in attitudes, qualities and behaviors derived from family teachings.
House 5 (the emotions and pleasures):
It includes emotions, ephemeral material pleasures and the satisfactions related to having children; which are linked with art and culture.
House 6 (the work and health):
It represents the working world, learning needs and physical well-being.
House 7 (the partners):
It is the group of close people that will influence life (family, friends, partners, etc.), including rivals and enemies.
House 8 (the sex and transformation):
This constitutes the affective relationships that can become intimate and their significant changes. Sex and procreation are associated with death (transformation) and rebirth (a new beginning).
House 9 (the knowledge):
It includes concepts of philosophy, religion and the highest educational level that can be achieved. This area is closely related to curiosity, the questions about existential mysteries and the search for the meaning of life.
House 10 (the social status):
It represents the living standard, the attitudes, the skills and the competencies that help achieve success, being these aspects more a matter of perception of others than own.
House 11 (the friendships):
It includes personal relationships (friends and acquaintances), linked to altruistic desires. These reflect the ability to relate and get friends.
House 12 (the subconscious):
It constitutes the hidden part of the personality, representing all aspects repressed by the subconscious and not recognized by the individual (fears, restrictions, losses, traumas, certain desires, possible enemies, etc.).
Therefore, the houses are abstract archetypes and the combinations of zodiacal signs and planets (considering their transits and aspects), in each house, influence over: personality, behaviors, decisions, attitudes, abilities, skills, competencies, relevant events, successes, failures, the purpose of life, the destiny, etc.
Likewise, each zodiacal sign also constitutes an abstract, broad, complex, diffuse and subjective archetype, which is originated by its respective constellation, because these large groups of stars (external aspect, coming from the universe) affect personality, behaviors and the events that the person will face (internal aspect, established by combinations of houses and zodiacal signs).
The zodiacal signs are the following ones:
First sign, Aries: the self-realization.
Second sign, Taurus: the material world.
Third sign, Gemini: the human duality.
Fourth sign, Cancer: the emotionality.
Fifth sign, Leo: the working world.
Sixth sign, Virgo: the service and purity.
Seventh sign, Libra: the equilibrium and justice.

Each person has a main sign (zodiacal sign present in the house where the Sun is located, according to the place, date and time of birth), an ascendant or alternate sign (zodiacal sign that rises across the horizon at the time of birth, in house 1) and a descendant or Moon sign (zodiacal sign present in the Moon's house, depending on the place, date and time of birth).
Therefore, personality, behaviors, attitudes and diverse qualities of each one depend mainly on the Sun's zodiacal sign, and partially on the other zodiacal signs (ascendant and descendant), also considering the positions of the other zodiacal signs and planets, in each house, according to the place, date and time of birth.
With respect to the planets, the Sun represents the human being, maximizing and considering him as a god or a highly evolved spiritual individual. It is also the rationality and the masculine part of the personality (right hemisphere of the brain).
As the Sun's zodiacal sign is the most relevant and includes certain distinctive qualities of the person, immersed in abstract notions (Aries is the self-realization, Taurus is the material world, Gemini is the human duality, Cancer is the emotionality, Leo is the working world, Virgo is the service and purity, Libra is the equilibrium and justice, Scorpio is the sex and death, Sagittarius is the philosophy and religion, Capricorn is the ambition, Aquarius is the consciousness and Pisces is the potential), it can be determined the predominant personality, in this way:
The Sun in Aries: the pioneer.
The Sun in Taurus: the diplomat.
The Sun in Gemini: the imaginative.
The Sun in Cancer: the fanciful.
The Sun in Leo: the intrepid.
The Sun in Virgo: the receptive.
The Sun in Libra: the conciliator.
The Sun in Scorpio: the proud.
The Sun in Sagittarius: the radical.
The Sun in Capricorn: the ambitious.
The Sun in Aquarius: the reformer.
The Sun in Pisces: the sensitive.
In addition, the ascendant zodiacal sign manifests as an alternate personality. For example, a Sagittarius individual, with an Aries ascendant, will be curious and proactive (willing to sacrifice himself for others, without being asked for help). However, other astrologers will argue that a native of Sagittarius, with an Aries ascendant, will be rational and materialistic (very self-centered and mainly concerned about his well-being).
Likewise, the Moon represents: love, charisma, imagination, intuition and sensitivity. It is also linked to emotions and the feminine part of the personality (left hemisphere of the brain).
In this regard, the descendant or Moon's zodiacal sign also grants certain qualities to each one. Broadly speaking, some astrologers infer that these are the Moon's archetypes:
The Moon in Aries: the enthusiast.
The Moon in Taurus: the persistent.
The Moon in Gemini: the hyperactive.
The Moon in Cancer: the familiar.
The Moon in Leo: the ambitious.
The Moon in Virgo: the effective.
The Moon in Libra: the popular.
The Moon in Scorpio: the decided one.
The Moon in Sagittarius: the restless.
The Moon in Capricorn: the presumed.
The Moon in Aquarius: the curious.
The Moon in Pisces: the dreamer.
However, some astrologers, based on other characteristics of each zodiacal sign, may conclude that the predominant moon personality is as follows:
The Moon in Aries: the ambitious.
The Moon in Taurus: the jealous.
The Moon in Gemini: the selfish.
The Moon in Cancer: the romantic.
The Moon in Leo: the bold.
The Moon in Virgo: the faithful.
The Moon in Libra: the solidary.
The Moon in Scorpio: the vengeful.
The Moon in Sagittarius: the religious.
The Moon in Capricorn: the competitive.
The Moon in Aquarius: the stubborn.
The Moon in Pisces: the emotional.
For example, a Sagittarius individual, with an Aries ascendant and a Scorpio descendant, will be classified as radical, proactive and determined (willing to make difficult decisions and take great risks in order to achieve his goals). While other astrologers will argue that a Sagittarius, with an Aries ascendant and a Scorpio descendant, will be rational, materialistic and vengeful (more self-centered, mainly concerned with his well-being, and willing to act violently against his rivals and enemies).
As for the other planets (for astrological effects, the Sun and the Moon are considered planets), each one represents a set of psychic factors or human qualities or archetypes, which vary according to its location (house and zodiacal sign). Although, in general terms, each planet contains these meanings:
Mercury: the intelligence.
Venus: the love.
Mars: the violence.
Jupiter: the maturity.
Saturn: the wisdom.
Uranus: the rebellion.
Neptune: the arts.
Pluto: the creation.

It represents the mysterious process of the creation of universe and life, including birth (beginning), death (transformation) and rebirth (new beginning)."
Late at night, Cuasimodo Fiestero was tired and decided to complete the reading next day.
He quickly checked the messages on his communications device and got just the one he was looking for. Upon reading the title ("Call of the National Congress in Defense of Astrology"), Fiestero envisioned that he would soon be testifying before the parliamentarians.
