THE HOUSES in YOUR BIRTH CHART

bulletWhen you put it all together, and/or get a Complete Natal Chart done, which I will do accurately for you, you will begin to see the story of your life, as it is reflected in the celestial bodies of our universe.  Most people don't want an astrology course...they just want to know what their chart means.  This section on Astrology Basics was designed to help you become familiar with some astrology terms, so that you will feel more comfortable getting your chart done.
bulletYou might as well know up front that if you don’t know the exact time (i.e. 11:38 pm) of your birth, then you won’t be able to calculate your Ascendant (which in turn sets the stage for determining the 12 Houses).  However, I will use sunrise for that day if you do not know the exact time of birth, and this will create a chart which will still display the planets, aspects, and close to the aspects to the Moon when you were born.  We do the chart with the best information we have. 

IV - The Houses

Well Worth Learning, Though
But as difficult as it is to initially get a good grip on how the Houses work... the Houses are also quite interesting and more than worth your time and effort to understand.

Why? Because understanding the Houses is when you first discover you’ve got all 12 of the Zodiac signs contained in your birth chart.

Simply put: the Houses are the places where stuff happens. And so the 12 Houses map out the “general areas of life” where you’re naturally the most attracted to and focused on during this lifetime.

One way to think of the Houses is as the 12 different rooms of a mansion. There are certain places in your 12 room mansion that you'd naturally end up spending more time in than you would the others. Some folks might prefer spending most of their time in the living room, some in the dining room, and some would prefer hanging out in the den. (Of course, Elvis preferred hanging out in the Jungle Room.)

The Shortcut
There’s a shortcut to understanding the themes of the 12 different Houses... The shortcut is that the themes of the 12 Houses are very similar to the energies of the 12 Zodiac signs.

Of course, to benefit from this shortcut, you first have to be familiar with the energies of the 12 Zodiac signs. So get familiar with the energies of the 12 Zodiac signs, and then learning the themes of the 12 Houses will be a cinch. Like any other shortcut, it's not exactly perfect... however, for our purposes, it's close enough.

The themes of 1st house are very similar to the energies of Aries. The themes of the 2nd house are very similar to the energies of Taurus. And so on and so on…. So if you get familiar with the energies of the 12 Zodiac signs, then the themes of the 12 Houses will make a whole lot more sense.

Aries 1st house
Taurus 2nd house
Gemini 3rd house
Cancer 4th house
Leo 5th house
Virgo 6th house
Libra 7th house
Scorpio 8th house
Sagittarius 9th house
Capricorn 10th house
Aquarius 11th house
Pisces 12th house

1st House
Aries is the “I am” sign. Aries is the first rush of spring! The new birth! Energetic, bold, fiery, and impulsive. So the 1st house is the place where “I am” stuff happens. It’s the house of your outer identity that you display to the world.

But with Gemini on the Ascendant, the 1st house of outer identity is colored by the sign of Gemini. And Gemini says “I communicate.” Gemini says, "I’m curious, youthful, flighty, mentally active, and often a wee bit mischievous." So the "I am" energies that you display to the world are that of Gemini.

2nd House:
Now let’s continue on to the 2nd house. The 2nd house themes are very similar to the energies of Taurus. Taurus is the “I possess” sign. Taurus is very concerned with matters of practicality, "I only believe in (and thus) value those things that I can actually touch." Taurus says I love comfort, physical security, and possessions. So the 2nd house is related to personal values and physical security. It’s generally associated with your money and personal possessions.

3rd House:
The 3rd house is the house naturally associated with Gemini.  As already mentioned just above, Gemini is about communication, mental concepts, curiosity -- as well as -- short trips, siblings and the neighbors ….

List of Themes
Here's that list of house themes I mentioned before...
I've been feeling a bit lazy as of late... so I've borrowed (with permission) something a cyberpal named Chazz wrote regarding the Houses... The following house descriptions are generally word associations and key concepts (and I did add in a few of my own thoughts):

1st- Aries house, ruled by Mars... "I am"...
personality, physical appearance, competition, how others see us.

2nd- Taurus house, ruled by Venus... "I possess"...
personal possessions, sense of self worth, values and inner creativity.

3rd- Gemini house, ruled by Mercury... "I communicate" ...
mental activity, need for knowledge, short trips, community involvement, relationship to siblings, primary education.

4th- Cancer house, ruled by Moon... "I feel" ...
opposite sex parent *, country, home and family, history, memories-nostalgia, dependence and dependency, real-estate.

5th- Leo house, ruled by Sun... "I rule" ...
Creative expression, romance and love affairs, gambling and speculation, fun and games (partying), Children, giving love.

6th- Virgo house, ruled by Mercury... "I analyze" ...
physical health, diet, self-service, interaction with coworkers, attention to detail and perfection.

7th- Libra house, ruled by Venus... "I balance" ...
one on one partnerships (i.e., marriage or business), commitment to others, appreciation for the arts, what we look for in others, fair play and harmony.

8th - Scorpio house, ruled by Pluto... "I desire" (this is the Jungle Room that Elvis spent a lot of time in) ...
Death, rebirth and transformation, other peoples resources, hidden mysteries, secrets, sex, mysticism, intuitive understandings.

9th- Sagittarius house, ruled by Jupiter... "I teach"
Higher education, philosophy, religion, travel, optimism, expansion and good fortune.

10th- Capricorn house, ruled by Saturn... "I build"
Same sex parent *, career, physical reality (i.e., the world), how we make our way, how we are perceived in society.

11th- Aquarius house, ruled by Uranus... "I plan"
Humanitarianism, friendship, receiving love, sudden happenings, rebellion, and outrageousness.

12th- Pisces house, ruled by Neptune... "I care"
self illumination, enlightenment, the collective unconscious, fantasy, karma, self-deception, hidden enemies, hospitals and institutions, serving others through compassion, psychic ability and sensitivity.

bulletSo in the astrological "road map of reality" - your birth chart house placements assist you in mapping out the places (or areas) where you can potentially learn how to be the best you that you can be during this lifetime.

Not everyone is supposed to be another Gandhi. Not everyone is supposed to be another Martin Luther King Jr.. Not everyone is supposed to be another Mother Teresa.

We each have different, distinctive, and unique road maps.

For example, in your unique road map, you may have several planets located in the earthy, practical 2nd Taurean house associated with money, values, and personal possessions. Your mission in this lifetime (should you choose to accept it) may be to build up a strong sense of inner-values, and then spend your hard earned money on these inner-values.  

*The 4th and 10th house meridian axis has historically experienced some serious "difficulties." The ancient Greeks associated the 4th house with both "parents." Medieval astrologers replaced "parents" with the Father in the 4th house and shifted Mother to the 10th house. Many modern astrologers have now placed Mother into the 4th and Father into the 10th. If you noticed, I placed the different sex parent in the 4th house and the same sex parent in 10th house. To make matters even more confusing, Vedic astrology places Mother in the 4th house and Father in the 9th house. When I get really cornered, I simply call the 4th and 10th house meridian axis the "parental axis."
