Everyone is born with 12 inner needs which represent 12 essential themes. Your horoscope has 12 houses which represent different areas of your life and there is a sign of the Zodiac on each of the 12 house cusps. Basically, the sign on each of these house cusps represents the type of need you have and the house itself shows the area where it would be directed.
If you have Leo on your first house cusp, your personality will be your best asset. If Leo was in your 4th House, you will always look for a home which is in exclusive areas or is very glamorous type.
Each of your 12 needs corresponds to a certain essentail theme. Here is a list of all your basic needs given in the natural order 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 12 unique themes.
There are 12 different areas where each of these needs will be expressed 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 spouse. Capricorn on the 4th indicates working from home missing out on the family scene at, 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 in setting long range goals to satisfy your needs.
Throughout your life, you will seek to satisfy your needs through exactly the same areas, although the way you fulfil 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 the way you communicate your message (Leo on 9th house cusp).
