Houses (Astrological)
Definition
The twelve divisions of an astrological chart, each governing an area of life — such as identity, money, communication, home, relationships, and career — determined by your exact birth time and place.
The houses are the twelve divisions of an astrological chart, each governing an area of life: the 1st house of self, the 2nd of money and values, the 7th of partnership, the 10th of career, and so on around the wheel.
If the zodiac signs describe how a planet expresses itself, the houses describe where in life it plays out. They’re anchored to the ascendant and calculated from your exact birth time and place — which is why an accurate birth time matters so much for a natal chart. The same planet in the same sign lands very differently depending on the house it falls in.
