Quadrants
Quadrants divide the natal-wheel into four 90° arcs between the angles:
| Quadrant | Houses | Traditional emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1–3 | self, resources, learning |
| 2nd | 4–6 | home, creativity, service |
| 3rd | 7–9 | partnership, depth, belief |
| 4th | 10–12 | career, community, inner life |
Heavy occupancy in one quadrant suggests where life energy clusters before sign-by-sign detail. See hemispheres for horizon/meridian splits and wheel-reading-order for when to weigh quadrants in a session.
