The hemispheres in a horoscope are divided
up in four sections. There are:
1. The
Northern Hemisphere which includes planets which are below the horizon, or
centred around the IC;
2. The Southern Hemisphere which is located
above the horizon centred around the MC;
3. The Eastern Hemisphere which is centred
around the Ascendant; and
4. The Western Hemisphere which is centred
around the Descendant.
An emphasized Hemisphere would have the
majority of planets in that particular quadrant.
Some Astrologers suggest that planets in
retrograde should be considered in the opposite quadrant. For example, if Saturn is in retrograde in
the Northern Hemisphere, when calculating a Hemisphere emphasis, Saturn would
be considered to be in the Southern Hemisphere.
If Mars is in retrograde motion in the Eastern Hemisphere, Mars should
be considered in the Western Hemisphere in your calculation. Of course, the planets do not actually change
positions in the birth chart but when it comes to this evaluation, they are
considered to be in the opposite Hemisphere.
These Hemisphere configurations would look
similar to a fan pattern, with most of the emphasis in one quadrant.
As we delineate this Hemisphere calculation,
it is important to remember that this only applies to planets. Asteroids and nodes are not included in this calculation.
Those individuals with an emphasis around
the Eastern Hemisphere or around the Ascendant are said to be concerned with
their own private personal ventures.
They are said to be driven by internal needs and push ahead with their
objectives. This is not to say that they
are egotistical or self-centered. This suggests
that these individuals focus their attention on advancing those things that
they deem significant to themselves.
Personal advancement on some level is a priority.
Some Astrologers have noted that there
appears to be much defensiveness with people who have this emphasis. This Hemisphere incorporates houses 1,2,3,10,11,12. Free will and the ability to move towards their
path or orientation are important to these people. They take on some of the qualities of the
first house.
Those individuals who have the emphases
around the Northern Hemisphere or centered around the IC are said to be more
private and introverted. The emphasis
would be with the houses 1 through 6. These
individuals are often focused on the needs of the family and the home environment,
similar to a 4th house emphasis.
Some Astrologers have noted that there are
affairs or events that have been left unresolved related to early life
conditions and the need for these to be dealt with.
The fourth/tenth house axis is related to
the parents, some say that the fourth house is related to the mother or the most
nurturing parent yet some say it relates to the father. This has been a controversial issue with many
Astrologers. You will have to test it
for yourself to see what fits and feels right for your practice or your chart. This area is related to private and
individual areas of life and as such can be related to internal issues. These issues are usually kept private or some
individuals choose to not deal with them at all.
Those individuals with a vast number of
planets on the Western side of the chart or around the Descendant, houses from
4-9, tend to concentrate their energies on others. They are “other-people” motivated rather than
being self-motivate. They are always
considering the needs of others when it is time to take a step forward. Direction often comes through others. There is a great deal of giving but not very
much taking. Some of these individuals
can be taken advantage of from those with stronger personalities or those that
tend to prey on these types of individuals.
They are very giving but must watch for being taken advantage of. There are similar traits to those with the
seventh house prominent in their charts.
With an emphasis on the Southern
Hemisphere, (the houses above the horizon), houses 7 through 12, there is a tendency
to be extraverted and these individuals are drawn to social environments. They are concerned with what is going on in
the outside world and tend to gravitate towards social activities where they
can mingle and be objective about what they discover in these areas of
life. There is a link to the tenth house
as events in life tend to affect these individuals and their path in life.
Some Astrologers have linked this Southern
Hemisphere with being swept away by life’s conditions. It has even been considered that these
individuals could be victimized in some manner.
This could also be potentially related to the parents because of the
axis point. Again, some Astrologers
differ on who the tenth house is representative of, the father or the most disciplinary
or providing parent vs the mother.
This Astrologer feels that the fourth house,
being ruled by the Moon and Cancer, would be representative of the mother or
nurturing parent and the tenth house, being ruled by Saturn and Capricorn,
would be representative of the father or disciplinary parent. I do note, however, that when it comes to a
personal injury connected to the past (emphasis in the Northern Hemisphere) there
would be a connection with the father, but on a deeper level, you have to
question how the mother influenced particular life events and what was the
reaction to her interjection? So you be
the judge.
