Astrological Houses (TO BE COMPLETED
SOON!)
What are they?
The houses in astrology refer to the twelve
segments that appear on a typical chart. What looks like twelve
slices of pizza can be thought of as twelve slices of life. Each
one describes a dimension of your life where certain things
happen. In
Planets in Play I think of the chart as a stage. We can
imagine different props that describe what goes on in each
segment on our inner stage. For instance, in one area of the
stage there may be a safe. This is the part of the chart that
tells you about your money and your values, and what you have
that makes you feel safe (this corresponds to the second house).

information on one page.
Which house do you want to learn more about?
Once you have
located the Ascendant in your Birth Chart, move
counterclockwise. Like its name indicates, the first house is
the first segment, or section, of your chart, beginning at the
Ascendant.
The First House
 |
In your Birth Chart this area describes
how you are seen and the first impressions that you make.
Being the first house this also describes all
beginnings, your initial outlook and approach to things, and
also your eagerness to begin something.
If you have a strong first house (for
instance if you count more than two planets here), then you
are a "go getter" someone who is sure of him/herself and
charges forward, always sure to be first. You also love to
win. This house additionally describes your physical appearance. For
instance, if you have the
Sun in your first house, this
indicates a sunny disposition and appearance.
Always, always, any detail in a chart
needs to be seen in context to the whole.

The Second House
 |
In your Birth Chart this segment
describes your values and your valuables. If you have many
planets (two or more) in this area then you spend a
lot of time accumulating and worrying about money and
"stuff." You like your things and need them to feel secure.
If you have no planets in this house this does not mean that
you have no money. It simply means that money is not one of
your important lessons in this lifetime. While you still
must pay your bills, this area in your life is not where you
learn your lessons.
Always, always, any detail in a chart needs
to be seen in context to the whole.

The Third House
 |
In your Birth Chart this segment describes how you communicate
with others, how you fit into your neighborhood and what your
relationship is with any siblings that you may have. If you have
two or more planets here then you are typically very busy, on
the phone a lot, and involved in your "world." Early
education (K-6) was flavored by the kinds of planets you have
there. For instance, the
Sun here might indicate a sunny time in
kindergarten, whereas
Mars here might mean many schoolyard
brawls.
When describing your siblings, the
Sun here might mean that you
get a lot of energy from and feel strengthened by a sibling.
Mars here could indicate that you fight with a sibling
frequently.
Always, always, any detail in a chart needs
to be seen in context to the whole.

The Fourth House
 |
In your Birth Chart this area describes your home, your family
life, and your ancestry and roots. This is the most personal and
intimate place of the chart and also shows you how you are
grounded (or not) by your heritage and family. This is the
bottom of the chart, the way you look back at where you came
from.
If, for instance, you have the
Sun here,
this can show that you feel very energized by your family and
that you feel empowered by your heritage. If you have
Neptune
here, you may, for instance, be in the fog about your history,
have alcoholism in your family or not know one of your parents.
Always, always, any detail in a chart needs
to be seen in context to the whole.
