"Thereos, does it matter where we number from as long as the numbers stay in order?" she asked. "Or...should we start with 1 being at Aries and work counterclockwise?" Since he had explained earlier that Aries was the beginning of the Western zodiac. The Gryffindor was a little TOO into the fine details than she really should be.
Thereos was trying to find a way to explain the concept without confusing the class.

"The First House, or ascendant, is located on the left side of your pie right about where 9 o'clock is on an old-fashioned clock face. The numbering then moves counter clockwise, thus the Second House is where you'd see 8 o'clock and so forth."
