Calculate the Houses Counterclockwise

Calculating the houses counterclockwise involves determining the zodiac sign and degree at the beginning of each house in the birth chart. This process starts from the cusp of the first house (Ascendant) and moves counterclockwise around the chart. Each house spans 30 degrees of the zodiac. Here's how you can calculate the houses counterclockwise:

1.      Start from the Ascendant (Lagna): The Ascendant marks the beginning of the first house in the birth chart. Note down the zodiac sign and degree of the Ascendant.

2.      Move to the Next House Cusp: Move counterclockwise to the next house cusp, which is the beginning of the second house. Each house cusp is separated by 30 degrees.

3.      Determine the Zodiac Sign and Degree: Calculate the zodiac sign and degree at the beginning of the second house. You can do this by adding 30 degrees to the degree of the Ascendant. If the resulting degree exceeds 30 degrees in the sign, subtract 30 degrees and move to the next sign.

4.      Repeat the Process: Continue this process for each successive house, moving counterclockwise around the birth chart. Remember that each house spans 30 degrees, so you'll add 30 degrees to the previous house's cusp degree to find the next house's cusp degree.

5.      Complete the Calculation: Once you've determined the zodiac sign and degree at the beginning of each house, you'll have calculated the houses counterclockwise around the birth chart.

For example, if the Ascendant is at 10° Aries, the calculation would proceed as follows:

●       1st House (Ascendant): 10° Aries

●       2nd House Cusp: 10° Aries + 30° = 10° Taurus

●       3rd House Cusp: 10° Taurus + 30° = 10° Gemini

●       4th House Cusp: 10° Gemini + 30° = 10° Cancer

●       5th House Cusp: 10° Cancer + 30° = 10° Leo

●       6th House Cusp: 10° Leo + 30° = 10° Virgo

●       7th House Cusp (Descendant): 10° Virgo + 30° = 10° Libra

●       8th House Cusp: 10° Libra + 30° = 10° Scorpio

●       9th House Cusp: 10° Scorpio + 30° = 10° Sagittarius

●       10th House Cusp (Midheaven): 10° Sagittarius + 30° = 10° Capricorn

●       11th House Cusp: 10° Capricorn + 30° = 10° Aquarius

●       12th House Cusp: 10° Aquarius + 30° = 10° Pisces

These calculated points represent the beginning of each house counterclockwise around the birth chart, starting from the Ascendant.
