The zodiac is made up of twelve different astrological signs, based on constellations formed in the sky, little or big clusters of stars spread throughout the heavens. The ancients named them based on the shapes they believed they took on, mostly animals, but not entirely.
The zodiac has twelve houses as well, all representing some aspect of the way a person's life is going to appear to the astrologer. For instance, I can usually tell what your first born child's sex might be and the time of year in which they will be born and I can detect under which sign their birth date will fall.
The lines between each individual house on both sides are refered to as cusps. I will get to that later, I was born on one (laughs). That brings up a whole new bag of worms, so I will get to that in a later post.
Houses of The Zodiac & Their Attributes
The first house is the house of self and contains the rising sign. It is the first place in the chart generally that an astrologer looks to begin drafting your unique personal profile set in the stars. The rising sign is almost like a masque, something that the outside world sees. People perceive your attributes from the sign this house contains.
The second house is the house of possessions, what you physically own, your personal wealth.
The third house is the house of communication, how you share your thoughts with others both verbally and through facial expressions, your demeanor as you are expressing thoughts.
The fourth house is the house of the home, meaning, your family, ancestry, your roots, where you come from and how you live privately at home.
The fifth house is the house concerning family. For instance, in my own personal chart its where my only child is, his birth sign is there. Its also how you relate to your brothers and sisters, children, and family as a whole, including extended family, non-blood relatives, and the people in your immediate life, your social circle immediately close to home. It also concerns creativity and how you express it, how you have fun with it.
The sixth house is where your general well being is spelled out, your health, both physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental, all concerns to how your are feeling as a whole person.
The seventh house is the zodiac's house of partnerships, you sometimes will find a husband or wife here, depend on what planets occupy this seventh house. You will also find business partners, people you work with very closely on any type of matter that is important to you and makes you a better and more productive member of society, unless of course there are negative planetary influences, but let's try to stay positive!
The eighth house is the house of death, regeneration, sex, the place where you look to inquire about inheritances, it has to do with all matters surrounding the dead. It sounds like a horrible places, but regeneration is beautiful, and positive. The circle of life is a positive thing. When people die, they are just moving on, not gone forever, just gone from this particular realm, so don't be afraid of the eighth house, as a matter of fact, its the house that my sign, Scorpio, rules.
The ninth house is the house concerning travel, being cultured by experiences concerning being around other cultures and peoples. It has much to do with dreams and how you think, your philosophical mind.
The tenth house has to do with social standing, your mum, your profession, the way you are and appear socially to the rest of the world. This is the house of business dealings and governmental affiliations.
The eleventh house has way more to do with other people than yourself. Its circumstances you cannot control, people you are surrounded by, aspirations, your friends.
The twelfth house is a very private place. Its where the secrets of your whole existence are stored: sexuality, negative affiliations with the law, extramarital affairs, untruthful affairs in general, prison stays, hospitalizations you are ashamed of, difficulty, secret things that make you sad, everything that is unknown to the outside world and maybe even yourself!
