The twelve houses

If planets are the actors and signs their costumes, houses are the rooms where the scenes happen: money, siblings, home, work, marriage, reputation. They come from your birth time — which is why the clock matters so much in a chart.

  1. 1 First house The self you lead with. →
  2. 2 Second house What you have, and what it's worth to you. →
  3. 3 Third house The everyday traffic of words and errands. →
  4. 4 Fourth house Where you're from, and where you land. →
  5. 5 Fifth house What you do for the joy of it. →
  6. 6 Sixth house The days, as actually lived. →
  7. 7 Seventh house The person across the table. →
  8. 8 Eighth house What's shared, owed, and survived. →
  9. 9 Ninth house The far edge of what you know. →
  10. 10 Tenth house What you're known for. →
  11. 11 Eleventh house The company you choose. →
  12. 12 Twelfth house What you do when no one is watching. →
