Everyone is born with 12 needs corresponding to the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Your horoscope has 12 houses representing different areas of your life, and there is a sign of the Zodiac on each of the 12 house cusps. Each sign represents the type of need you have, and the house itself shows the area where it is directed.
If you have Leo on the first house cusp, your personality will be your best asset. If Leo were in your 4th House, you would always look for a home in exclusive areas or a very glamorous type.
Each of your 12 needs corresponds to a sign of the zodiac. Here is a list of all your basic needs along with the sign of the zodiac which best represents it:

We are born with 12 needs, and to lead a balanced life, you should try to satisfy all these needs.
Your 12 needs correspond to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
There are 12 different areas where you will seek to express your need corresponding to the 12 house cusps.
For example, if your Personal Column is J, you have Aries on the First house, and your need for Action will be satisfied by being energetic.
Cancer on your 7th house cusp indicates your need for emotional security through the spouse. Capricorn on the 4th indicates working from home missing out on the family scene, common amongst single families.
Make a conscious effort to become sensitive to your inner needs and subconscious desires. This will make you aware of your motivations and help you set long-range goals to satisfy your needs.
You will seek to satisfy your needs throughout your life through the same areas, although how you fulfill them may change over time. For example, you may be destined to feel great through preaching. You may become a teacher or a public speaker or write famous scripts, but the area of greatness for you will still be something to do with how you communicate your message (Leo on 9th house cusp).
