Understanding the Houses
The 12 houses of astrology divide the sky into segments, each governing a different area of life. While planets show what energies are present and signs show how they express, houses show where these energies manifest in your life.
Angular Houses (1, 4, 7, 10)
Action-oriented and visible. These houses mark the major angles of your chart and represent the most active areas of life.
Succedent Houses (2, 5, 8, 11)
Stabilizing and resource-building. These houses focus on security, values, and what sustains you.
Cadent Houses (3, 6, 9, 12)
Mental and adaptive. These houses connect you to learning, growth, and transitions between life phases.
