Avessalom Podvodny. Houses in the Signs of the Zodiac
In the warm waves of the southern sea, a translucent jellyfish drifts quietly. When this Ascendant is worked with, it grants true wisdom, understanding of life, and adherence to the principle of non-resistance to evil on a high level—when a person accepts the world as it is and leaves the struggle to their egregore, directing their efforts through unbiased attention. On a low level, this person makes an amorphous impression; they seem easily swayed and controlled. They enjoy complaining about their life and receiving sympathy regardless of the content of their story; they are unlikely to judge and almost certainly will pity. This house position grants great emotional receptivity, sensitivity to others’ suffering and pain. Protection comes through lies and self-deception; emotional outbursts are typical for self-expression, making it difficult to discern anything genuine. However, if no contradictory factors are present, this person is usually kind and soft-hearted—within reasonable limits. Perception is soft and enveloping; the person instinctively avoids sharp corners and tries not to notice them either in the world or within themselves. Here, one must cultivate inner (and outer) honesty, focusing primarily on the moments highlighted by enemies, and strive to emulate their scrupulousness and precision, grounding their low emotional meditations that attempt to replace both external and internal life.

Indubala. Eastern Signs. (Indian Tradition)
{The rising sign, or first house, is the sector of space (sign) located directly above the eastern part of the horizon at the moment of a person’s birth. The rising sign provides us with much information about a person’s appearance and behavioral traits. In many respects, the rising sign has a greater influence than the signs in which the Sun or Moon were located at the moment of birth. Knowing the rising sign gives much preliminary information about the character of the entire horoscope and the overall makeup of a person’s character. Pisces is a “water” sign, governed by Jupiter. “Pisceans” are usually religious and emotional, good servants, interested in knowledge about spiritual liberation. By nature, they are timid or superstitious. Stubborn but pleasant and polite. They may suffer due to indecisiveness and lack of self-confidence. Worried and romantic, they dream of distant places and love to travel by water. Although they are wealthy and have good relationships with others, they are dissatisfied with their daily lives and seek solace in philosophy or frivolous matters. They are creative people with strong imagination; their sexual desires trouble them. Because they are somewhat careless, they spend their money. They may be lazy, yet they are elevated souls capable of providing transcendent inspiration to us, less fortunate people. Piscean people love history; they tend to engage in charitable and righteous activities. Externally, they are strong, with thick lips and a large nose. They obtain good wives and husbands but are jealous and suspicious of their partners. These are independent and active people, orthodox, and sometimes fanatical. They are educated, possess considerable abilities, and can achieve fame due to their great influence on people and being perceived very sincerely. They are beloved by the opposite sex, have people who serve them, and can manage money well. They make good bankers, actors and actresses, travelers, and priests.}
Pavel Globa. Houses in the Signs
PISCES — a mysterious, enigmatic personality. Great plasticity in social behavior. Helplessness in the face of the crude world and the illusion of one’s own charisma. Hidden aspirations toward self-assertion. All actions are either covert or carried out through others. Mystical sensitivity to the external and subtle worlds. Depth of the subconscious and instincts, dreams and fantasies. The ability to deceive and be deceived.
Frances Sakoian. Ascendant in the Signs of the Zodiac
Expectations from the surrounding world – solitude. Sensitive, compassionate, adaptable, airy, clairvoyant. They owe their achievements to a subtle perception of undercurrents. Their mystical insight helps them intuitively understand human nature. They possess artistic and musical talent. Readiness to help, sensitivity, sympathy. Diverse public activity often contrary to their own aspirations. Loneliness, depressions, obstacles, timidity, fearfulness, lack of restraint, uncertainty, susceptibility to influence, capriciousness, passion for pleasures, manias, illnesses, phlegmatic nature. Chance occurrences influence the life path, leading to numerous crises. You are a soft, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people, tolerance, and an unbiased approach to life. In a noisy company, in a competitive atmosphere, you often fade, recede into the background, as you are a non-aggressive person, not of a forceful disposition, and have an extremely negative attitude towards conflicts. In fact, you tend to be a somewhat passive person – feeling, knowing, expecting, observing a lot, but acting little. Often your way of solving problems is to let them dissolve or exhaust themselves, rather than using your will and not interfering. You may have a deeply religious, spiritual attitude towards life – not necessarily in an orthodox sense, but as an intuitive understanding of the vastness and unity underlying all life, compared to which so many human desires and struggles become insignificant. To flourish, you need a peaceful environment, and for your emotional balance and well-being, periods of quiet solitude are necessary. You are also very compassionate and cannot bear the suffering of any living being – neither human, nor animal, nor even plant. Perhaps as a child, you easily became upset and started crying if someone somewhere was hurt, physically or emotionally. The world of your imagination and fantasy was very real to you; it was a refuge for you when the external world became too aggressive, demanding, or simply uninteresting. You are very generous and magnanimous, and people are drawn to you, sensing your compassionate nature. Often you continue to gift, provide for a person, even if you understand they are abusing your attitude or becoming overly dependent on you. You overlook and forgive weaknesses both in others and in yourself. Organization and self-discipline are not typical for you. Although you may be no less intelligent than others, you do not have a rational, logical approach to life, and attempts to prove anything to you through logical arguments often remain futile. You are governed by feelings, intuition, the heart, but not the head, which can infuriate or perplex your more rational friends. You know, probably, that life is something much greater than what can be explained intellectually and neatly categorized, and you approach psychic phenomena, telepathy, parapsychology, etc., with an unbiased curiosity. You are not as structured and rigid in your relationships as many other people, which gives you the ability to see different points of view and accept them all as having a right to exist. This can lead to vagueness, uncertainty, and confusion in your approach – or it can be a very flexible, holistic way to achieve any goal.
