The point that lies on the horizon on the west is from where the 7th house begins. The point which is exactly above your head right now is the starting point of the 10th house for someone born right at this moment at your location. From the starting point on the eastern side, the 1st house is followed by the rest of the houses in anti-clockwise motion so you never get to see the 1st to 6th houses in the skies. Now note that you can only see 6 houses at any location on the earth as rest of the houses are below the horizon. This is because Sun rises from the east and the rising of Sun means new beginning. At a particular place and time of birth, the exact point or the degree of the sign that is rising on the eastern side of the horizon is considered to be the starting point of the houses division, it is also the Ascendant. The whole zodiac belt seems to ascend from eastern horizon and descend to the western horizon due to the daily rotation of earth around its own axis. Wherever you are born on earth, there is a local horizon, the line where earth and the sky meet. The celestial sphere is divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each.
