The four quadrants
In a standard chart drawing the eastern hemisphere is the side to the left of the Medium Coeli/Imum Coeli axis. The axis divides the horoscope into two hemispheres.
The eastern hemisphere consists of houses one to three and ten to twelve - or in other words, the first and fourth quadrants. The Ascendant marks its central point.
It is also known as the personal half of the horoscope - as opposed to the western hemisphere of the horoscope (second and third quadrants) which is known as the impersonal half of the horoscope.
Interpretation
The eastern hemisphere stands for the area of personal concerns and activities.
