so when i first started learning about astrology, i found it super difficult to keep track of what each of the houses means. understanding the house system is a huge aspect of understanding your natal chart, so let’s discuss.
ruled by the cardinal signs, these houses indicate the action you take in life - the first foot you put forward.
1st house - aries - appearance, outward personality, self expression, essential vitality, “mask”
4th house - cancer - home, family life and parents, emotional/psychological foundation, stability, subconscious patterns
7th house - libra - partnerships and relationships, marriage, business interactions, interpersonal conflict or harmony, legal matters
10th house - capricorn - career ambitions and aspirations, public life and recognition, material acquisition, success and goals
these houses are ruled by the fixed signs, speaking to what you already have, and what you desire to have - what you value.
2nd house - taurus - possessions, money, material things, material values, skills and earning abilities
5th house - leo - pleasure, entertainment, sex, creativity and creation, procreation and children, recreation
8th house - scorpio - the supernatural/occult/mystical, death and regeneration, legacies, the resources of those around you (think inheritance)
11th house - aquarius - global awareness, humanitarian ideals, group projects and goals, friendships
ruled by the mutable signs, these houses can be interpreted as the thought that occurs before action - the analyzation of your self and surroundings.
3rd house - gemini - mental activity, communication, early education, relationships with siblings and cousins
6th house - virgo - afflictions of the body, health and nutrition, employment, work ethic, injury and illness, service
9th house - sagittarius - higher thinking, religion and philosophy, foreign cultures and customs, expansion of the mind, far travel
12th house - pisces - retreat from the world, isolation, suffering bottled up, the subconscious, karma
quadrant 1 (houses 1 - 3)
“who am i?” “what do i value?” “what do i think?”
quadrant 2 (houses 4 - 6)
“what do i feel?” “what do i will?” “what do i analyze?”
quadrant 3 (houses 7 - 9)
“how do i balance myself with others?” “what do i desire?” “what truth do i seek?”
quadrant 4 (houses 10 - 12)
“what will i use?” “what do i know?” “what do i believe?”
