What Are the Houses in Astrology
In astrology, the houses are twelve divisions of the sky used in a birth chart. They show where different areas of life unfold, such as relationships, career, and health. Each house has a traditional meaning and a planetary ruler.
How the Astrological Houses Are Divided
The houses are calculated from your exact birth time and location. The Ascendant marks the start of the first house, and the chart is divided into equal or unequal segments depending on the house system used. Common systems include Placidus and Whole Sign.
What Each House Represents
The first house covers identity and appearance. The second house relates to money and values. The seventh house rules partnerships, while the tenth house highlights career and public reputation. Other houses address family, communication, travel, and spirituality.
