Houses in Astrology

Astrology is a thorough and intriguing ancient practice that may help one discover a lot about oneself. There are 12 houses in astrology and each house has its own natural planetary ruler and sign, which is likely to be different for everyone.

The first house of the zodiac, for example, is naturally controlled by the sign Aries and is ruled by the planet Mars. However, it may easily be the sign of a Capricorn in someone else’s horoscope. It is useful to know what each astrological house represents, but one will need to study his birth chart to find out what that area looks like for him.

What do the Houses Mean in Astrology?

All of one’s life and experiences are believed to be represented by the 12 houses in astrology. The first six houses are known as the “personal houses,” or houses centred on the native. In contrast, houses from seven to twelfth are known as the “interpersonal houses,” or houses centred on the relationship with the world. A thematic journey growing outward can be seen as you progress through the house system and its implications — from your personal inner world to your transcendent and interpersonal connection to the outside world. Unlike planets and signs, houses are not about a specific form of energy; instead, they provide context for the planets and signs that interact in our lives.
