In astrology, the term "houses" refers to the twelve sectors of the sky that are divided by the ecliptic, the path that the Sun appears to take through the sky over the course of a year. These twelve houses are numbered from the eastern horizon, with the first house starting at the point of the horizon directly opposite the Sun.
Each of the twelve houses represents a different area of life, and the position and condition of the planets in the houses can indicate the potential influences and experiences that a person may have in that area. For example, the first house represents the self, the second house represents material possessions and financial matters, and the third house represents communication and immediate surroundings. In a natal chart, the houses are calculated based on the date, time, and place of birth, and they are used to provide insight into a person's personality, relationships, career, and life path. The signs that occupy each house can also provide additional information about the qualities and energies associated with that house. The houses are an important concept in astrology, as they provide a framework for understanding the influences and experiences that shape a person's life. By examining the positions of the planets in the houses of a natal chart, astrologers can gain insight into a person's strengths, challenges, and areas of potential growth. 1st House: The self, physical appearance, first impressions 2nd House: Material possessions, financial matters, values 3rd House: Communication, siblings, immediate surroundings 4th House: Home, family, roots, sense of security 5th House: Creativity, self-expression, children 6th House: Health, daily routine, work 7th House: Marriage, partnerships, relationships 8th House: Sex, intimacy, transformation, other people's resources 9th House: Travel, higher education, philosophy, spirituality 10th House: Career, reputation, authority figures 11th House: Friends, group affiliations, hopes, dreams 12th House: Hidden enemies, self-undoing, spirituality, isolation We will begin this discussion on Astrology looking into what the houses are and what they mean.
