The Twelve Houses (2007 Edition): Exploring the Houses of the Horoscope

Product Information

Seventh House: Personal relationships and marriage. What kind of a marriage partner do you seek? Personality as well as known enemies! Are you prone to breakups and separations? Questions about civil courts and starting and ending of all personal ties. Bonus: if your natal Sun is here it may be ultra shiny and happy, as this is the 'House of Joy' for the Sun. The zodiac wheel is based on the sun’s apparent yearly rotation about our Earth, along the ecliptic. House themes: career (vs. everyday work), our desire for career success, reputation, honors, awards, prizes, power, leaders and kings, judges and the law, authority, employers, public appreciation, recognition, being in the public eye, social standing, fame/infamy, distinction, the mother, what we inherit from the mother. The 11th House - Good Spirits Even more so, it’s about how we can bring the heavens (aka the divine) into the matter, and help matter become more divine-like.

Each segment, or house, represents a different essential aspect of our lives. In the Movie of You, the houses are like the different sets or stages where the planets (“actors”) play out their roles (given by the zodiac signs). Parental home environment and later on our own domestic conditions, type of childhood, treatment at home, all domestic affairs.Fourth House: Parental home environment and later your own domestic environment. This house can even give you a clue as to where you will eventually settle down! Type of childhood you had and your treatment at home. This house is full of life-enhancing, boundary-bursting experiences that take us beyond the mundane and right into the heart of life's greatest questions. Who are we? What is God? And, what is the purpose of human life?

The Medium Coeli (MC), also known as the Midheaven, is located at the intersection of the ecliptic and the prime meridian in the sky overhead. It’s the highest point in the sky planets can travel during the day. Fifth House: This house represents creativity, artistic expression, and children. The fifth house is associated with fun, pleasure, free time, dating, and romance. Since the fifth house represents recreation and the energy of fertility, this portion of your chart contributes to your health by supporting your vitality and creative self-expression. Although no planets have their joy here, strongly placed planets can bring career success or social standing, while afflicted planets can deny the same. The tenth House is the House of status, honor, community power, prestige, reputation, and professional career. In our society, this includes financial success, but only as it relates to community power and prestige. It's not about gaining "material stuff" as it is in the 2nd house. The 10th house wants success for the sake of honor and social status.With all of that said, we're now we're ready to examine each house individually. The 1st House – Life & Breath House themes: marriage, marriage partners, committed long-term romantic partners, business partners, enemies (specifically, known enemies), our experience of 'the other,' our experience of the 'not self,' what we project onto others, opposing forces, energies given to others. The 8th House - Epicataphora By looking at a natal birth chart, we begin to understand the inner workings, personality traits, and desires of a given individual. This type of astrology chart is a mathematical analysis that determines the location of the ten planets, at the exact moment of your birth. Each of the planets represents ten instinctual urges we have as human beings here on Earth. Get to know more about the 12 houses in birth chart. While health is sometimes attributed to the 6th, vitality in itself is better understood through the 1st House and its ruler, hence the Ascendant's role as the place of 'Life and Vital spirit of men,' according to the ancient Astrologer Firmicus Maternus. Technically, the 6th House does not connect to the Ascendant except by quincunx, a 150-degree aspect also known as 'aversion'; taken further, the nature of the 6th House is averse to the health of the person and more clearly represents the absence of vitality than its presence. The House of Saturn has been called the “house of hidden things”—aka the Twelfth House. Saturn sets limits and boundaries, all those things which set apart us apart. The hospitals, jails, and monasteries. But also going on retreat or sabbatical. You could even call it the house of taking a break from social media, too.
