How to read a North Indian style birth chart.
The North Indian style chart is comprised of 12 houses. Starting with the top diamond in the center and moving counter clockwise. Depending on what your ascendant is decides which sign will be in what house.

In this chart Aires is in the first house, Taurus in the 2nd, Gemini in the 3rd and so on all the way to Pisces in the 12th house. This is the original placement of the houses.
Each house represents an aspect(s) of your life. Each zodiac sign flavors the house that it is sitting in.
Scorpio ascendants will have Scorpio in the 1st house and Taurus in the 7th.
Cancer ascendant will have Cancer in the first house and Capricorn in the 7th etc.
As you can see, the ascendant creates the entire basis of the chart.
In addition to the zodiac signs, planets also live in different house depending on your birth time.
In the chart below, you can see that the Moon is in the 2nd house of Capricorn (10) and the Sun is in the 7th house of Gemini (3). Remember the small number on a chart is the zodiac sign. The house positions never change.
