What house is according to the horoscope? Houses in astrology and their meaning: what information they carry

Astrological houses are twelve sectors of space, divided relative to the horizon and the celestial meridian, and sections of the ecliptic with the planets located there at a given moment in time at a given geographical point. The position of astrological houses depends on the date, time, latitude and longitude of the observation location. The houses are similar to signs, that is, the first house corresponds to Aries, the second to Taurus, the third to Gemini, and so on. The interpretation of houses is similar to the interpretation of signs, but there are also differences. If signs are a deep, psychological layer, then houses are an event layer. Houses characterize the areas of life and our attitude towards them, how things are going in each area. 12 houses cover our entire life and the events that may occur in it.


First housemeans your personality, briefly characterized by "I myself", the most important house. Here you can determine the main character traits, behavior, appearance, body structure, life attitudes. Events with active personal participation take place in this house, life-changing events, including those affecting changes in the physical body, changes in life attitudes. This is a very important and strongly manifested house. The Ascendant and planets in the first house are more pronounced than the sun sign, in any case, their influence is more noticeable from the outside. If the top of the first house is in Aries, then the person is energetic and assertive, knows well what he wants, and shows independence. As a rule, they have an athletic build and are tall. Impulsive, impetuous. With Gemini at the top of the first house, a person is characterized by sociability and a desire to receive new information. As a rule, it makes it easier to learn foreign languages. A quick, quick glance. The skin is dark, easily tanned. If the Ascendant is in the sign of Virgo, then the person loves a common sense approach to everything. He is critical, first of all, of himself, and with intense aspects an inferiority complex may appear. This type of person loves to see concrete results of his hard work. Thus, we see that the Ascendant manifests the qualities of the sign in relation to a person’s personality, his appearance, and life principles. The planet in the first house is very important, as is the location of the ruler and significator of the house.

Homes and areas of life

Second house shows everything that a person owns, what he considers his own. Material living conditions, property (movable, since real estate is associated with the fourth house), money. It also shows the reserve of vitality, attitude towards material values, what kind of things a given person tries to surround himself with. Here you can also find out how a person spends his earned money. Events in the second house are mainly related to receiving money, spending it, earning money, and making purchases. If the vertex of the second house falls in the sign of Aquarius, then we can say that the person loves original things and new technology. If the vertex of the house is in Taurus, we can talk about good prerequisites for wealth, love for luxury, beautiful things and jewelry.


Third house associated with a person’s immediate environment. These are equal or almost equal people, those with whom a person interacts in everyday life. This includes brothers, sisters, neighbors, co-workers (but not bosses or subordinates). It is also the house of information - newspapers, radio, television, books, conversations, gossip, everyday communication - all these are the spheres of influence of the third house. Events related to the listed people, short trips, obtaining information (receiving or writing letters, any correspondence are reflected here), business contacts, specific education as the acquisition of a sum of practical knowledge and skills take place in this house. Places associated with this house are shops, libraries, transport stops, schools, colleges.

Fourth house- "my roots". This is your own home, place of residence, family, place of rest, relationship with nature, small homeland, parents. This house also means completion, including natural death, as the end of a certain stage. It is also the basics, upbringing, support or base in life. Events in the fourth house: changes in the family, in the house, change of place of residence, completion of any activity.

At the cusp of the fourth house in Aries The family environment is impulsive, family life is uneven. Problems of home life are solved by parental initiative. It may very well turn out that family life is like a camping trip, without much comfort, and the person does not develop the need for special comfort, coziness, or stability. It may turn out that they move often, or it may turn out that the parents are military. Conflict situations in the home can lead to head injuries or headaches. It may turn out that the mother has an aggressive character, and it is passed on to the child, and the aggressiveness of the fourth house is very deep. Either it is not aggressiveness, but negativism, i.e. internal deep discontent and projection of a negative nature into the future. This sensation, which a person can produce on others, is the most difficult for him to track in himself, since the 4th house is the deepest point of the horoscope.
When the cusp of the fourth house falls in a sign Taurus, the situation in the house can be harmonious, it can be disharmonious, depending on the aspect of the ruler. Harmonious or disharmonious, this is a stable, stable atmosphere in the house. Depending on the aspect of the ruler, a person receives stable material support from parents or needs it, hopes for it, but does not receive it. It's hard to change anything in this house. And if the parental environment does not match your taste, then you need to make a tremendous effort to do something at home to your taste. Parents can leave a fortune accumulated over many years of life; it can consist of buildings, territories, savings and savings. In adulthood, a person has a need to organize his own home according to the principle of my home is my fortress, a place where he can hide, where he feels reliable, stable, stable. How well he can do this will be shown to you by the planet in the house or the aspect of the ruler to the cusp. It should be a strong, beautiful, durable house, where there will be supplies of food and valuables for a rainy day, and there will be concern about old age.
If the vertex of the fourth house is in Gemini, then in the house there may be flexible, sensitive relationships, an atmosphere of mutual understanding between parents and children, ease in relationships, their intellectual nature, a large fortune is not obvious, there may be intellectual heredity (the manager will show what nature), frequent moves. Home life can be enlivened by numerous contacts, visits, and departures of relatives. The idea of ​​sociability is present in the house, perhaps reading a lot, perhaps talking on the phone a lot. And, most likely, all the neighbors are in the house.
When Cancer on the cusp of the fourth house, the family environment pays great attention to the family's past, traditions, and people from the family. The family preserves archives, letters, and documents. Family wealth is preserved and passed on from generation to generation. The condition can be quite serious, mainly on the mother’s side. It is extremely important for a person to create his own family, this is the goal of his life and can cause difficult experiences if the family does not work out. Then he tries to create a family at work or work in areas where the environment turns into a family one: all kinds of child care institutions, orphanages, hospitals, the catering industry.
The position of the vertex of the fourth house in the sign of Leo indicates that in family life a sense of hierarchy is observed, there is a main, elder, chief of the family. Relationships with your own are open, pure, clear, independent. Paternal heredity may be present here. The condition is solid, perhaps it has luxury items, gold, and large valuables. This house is light, bright, they try to make it luxurious. In his own soul, man seeks brilliance and superiority. He is very careful and sensitive to his merits and how they are perceived. If he finds out that his actions are perceived unworthily, he is able to change them for the sake of self-love. After creating his own home, a person takes a patronizing or authoritarian attitude towards his parents, he becomes the boss of the family and dictates his own terms.
If the vertex of the 4th house falls in Virgo, then miscalculations and practical meaning have a strong influence on family life here. A person keeps a large number of responsibilities and obligations in his soul; the inheritance, usually modest, consists of the fruits of the labor of family members and is passed from hand to hand. Transfer of skills, some practical skills. The house is organized according to modest taste, with simplicity and satisfies the practical needs of man.
When we see Scales at the top of the fourth house, then here family life is full of charm and taste. This is an elegant house, designed in an aesthetic manner. There is harmony in the house and good mutual understanding among the members. The house should be fashionable, secular, elegant, light. A person has the same soft and harmonious soul; communication with him brings you to peace, to a state of silence. Family life is necessarily part of a person's emotional life. Social receptions, art, music, literary salons can be organized in the house, not for the sake of celebrities, as it could be in Leo, but for the sake of communication, for the love of art.
When Scorpio, the family environment is rather tense, it is often filled with emotions, jealousy, passion, hatred, death - these are problems that are discussed in the house, this is a state that passes through the house and changes it. It may turn out that family mourning is painful. It may be that questions about financial status provoke conflicts, quarrels over inheritance, division of inheritance, and family separation over this issue. In this house there may be tendencies towards a secret life, there is a need to hide in one’s home and hide one’s soul, to hide. This house, purely physically, can be organized with some kind of secret doors, with additional exits, with hiding places. External tragic events can lead to the physical destruction of a home, events such as all kinds of natural disasters, and the death of relatives. Occult knowledge, interests, and secret methods of treatment can be just as deep in the house. This is the house of passion and the house of secrets.
When Sagittarius is at the top of the fourth house, then we can talk about spiritual, intellectual relationships in the family. The family, the laws of the family, are subject to the moral principles of its members. Issues of conscience and honesty are the root causes of all kinds of discussions in the family, family councils, conversations about ethics, behavior, family legends. There may be a religious atmosphere in the house. From a distance, this relationship looks very independent, but that's only from afar. How are things really going? A careful study of Jupiter in relation to the cusp of the fourth house and the Moon is necessary. A person experiences great attachment to his comforts at home, has his own forms of relaxation that are familiar to him, his own traditions. This family can completely, unlike Gemini, emigrate from their native country. Geminis tend to move from their home, leave their parents and go to another world. And Sagittarius is more likely to move the whole place, all together.
If the moment of birth occurred on the cusp of the fourth house in Capricorn, then the atmosphere in the house is usually strict and dry. The house may be dark, poor lighting. Family connections and relationships can be quite strong and deep, but they are very far from demonstration, any demonstrativeness, they look dry and restrained, although feelings can be deep and lasting. There may be a single father, a widower. This family has a slow but steady growth of property consisting of lands and buildings. A person’s inner life lacks liveliness, lacks feelings and sensitivity, he experiences some isolation from the world, his emotional life undergoes deprivation and restrictions. The end of life can be chosen according to the place; at the end of life there can be a hermitage, a conscious restriction.
Finding the cusp in Aquarius gives family life organized in conditions of warm, fraternal understanding, in conditions of equal relations. In the house there can be numerous friendly receptions, relationships of selflessness, sincerity, deep, basic human strengths. At the end of life, the intellectual atmosphere, but also the end of life may be subject to some sudden, unexpected event that will change the emotional life of a person or his home, the atmosphere in the family.
Finally, if the vertex is at Pisces, then in this family the relationships are somehow elusive, very similar to Tarkovsky’s films, here is the reality of a dream: something happens, someone appears, it’s not necessarily who he is, some conversations are being held. Relationships may seem awkward or strange. Sometimes this is expressed in an atmosphere of sacrifice, when the whole family sacrifices for the sake of another person’s illness, or when parents demand a child’s sacrifice, or the child himself sacrifices his life in favor of his parents and caring for them. It could be a sick mother. In this home life there is an atmosphere of instability, unspoken conditions. There may also be some difficulties with an inheritance that floats away from a person, or arrives unclear how and from where, from the unknown. They say that it is dangerous to live with such a house close to water; it is at risk of accidents and floods. If it is not close to water, then in such a house there are leaks in the roof and ceilings, pipes break, cars break down - such a “fish” house. The danger is especially aggravated if the Moon or Neptune is in this house, or if the Moon and Neptune are afflicted in the chart.
Correlation: Zodiac sign - horoscope house

Fifth house is responsible for creativity. These are any free self-expression of a person. Games, theater, sports - if it is for pleasure, and not for the sake of a career or money. Excitement, hobbies and entertainment, leisure. This house is also responsible for love, for love as a feeling, not marriage or sex, although sex for pleasure is also related to the fifth house. Another area of ​​this house is children and the attitude towards them. Everything that brings joy and pleasure is associated with the fifth house. Events around the house - pleasures, love, birth of children. By studying the fifth house, the astrologer finds out to what extent a person will pursue pleasure, including extramarital affairs, finds out how passionate a person is, predicts possible success or failure in the love sphere, as well as relationships with children and with children. For example, a water sign on the cusp of the fifth house, especially Cancer, indicates a strong desire to have children and developed maternal feelings. If this is a man, then he will be very attached to his children.

Sixth house associated with daily work. Ability to work, application of acquired skills. Subordinates and servants are also related to the sixth house. Presence of pets and attitude towards them. The sixth house is also associated with health. Based on the planets in the house and the sign at the top of the house, one can determine predispositions to diseases. For example, Gemini on the top of the sixth house can give rise to frequent colds, speech disorders, and generally indicate low respiratory system protection. Events in the sixth house: work, getting a new position, dismissal, illness, treatment, recovery, relationships with subordinates, including servants.

Seventh house- "my partner". The house of relationships that are longer and more serious than those in the third or fifth houses. Various contracts, marriage and marriage partner are described by the seventh house. In a horoscope, the seventh house also shows what type of partner a given person strives for. If, for example, you have Aries on the cusp of the seventh house, you long for a partner who is energetic, physically active and proactive, and who can shake you up to balance your well-being. If Pisces falls on the cusp of the seventh house in your horoscope, you tend to be overly caring for your partner, and accordingly you are attracted to partners whom you can help and support during crises. You are unlikely to be attracted to an active and proactive partner; rather, you are inclined to take on the role of leader in the relationship. Events around the house: the beginning of a relationship, concluding contracts, weddings, and also together with the eighth house - termination of contracts, divorce.

Eighth house often associated with extreme conditions. This is the house of borderline states. Extreme situations, emergency surgery, death, taking risky or prohibited actions - all this has to do with the eighth house. Another meaning of the eighth house is sexual relationships, as well as a person’s personal sexuality. The first sexual experience is always somehow connected with the eighth house, like an irreversible crossing of the border between “before” and “after”. Other people's property, money, insurance, taxes and loans are another facet of the eighth house. Events around the house: injuries, operations, death (your own or someone close to you), transactions with other people's money, receiving or losing money, sex, risk, criminal cases. A reasonable question may arise here: how to distinguish between these events? How to determine whether a person will have an accident or have his first sexual experience? To do this, you need to look at the horoscope and current influences together, see what other houses and planets are involved, and what aspects are formed.

Ninth house- house of aspirations. Outlook, higher education, travel, worldview, ideology and religion are the spheres of the ninth house. Foreigners and distant relatives also have a connection to this house. For example, Capricorn on top of this house gives a conservative attitude towards life, while Aquarius shows your openness to everything new, a penchant for invention, love for other countries and travel. Events around the house: obtaining higher education (entry, graduation), long-distance travel, getting to know other cultures, changing your outlook on life.

Tenth house- "the purpose of life". The Xth house is the middle of the sky, MC, the highest point above the horizon, the top of the triangle, the evolution of man, where the 2nd and 6th houses lie at the base, underground, his financial situation with which he was born, that service, which he is ready to accomplish in the house, and on the basis of this, the peak that he can achieve in life, the highest task that a person sets for himself. The Xth house will show what are the means to achieve this goal, in what area a person strives to succeed in life: social, intellectual or spiritual. From this point a person looks at himself from above, this is his place in the structure, this is the goal of personal embodiment, this is a way to integrate into the social structure, this is his attitude to the hierarchy. Here is spiritual teaching, here are the teachers whom a person chooses for himself and the area in which he wants to improve. Here is the administrative activity of a person, how he is adapted to it or not, here is the level of his professional success. Here we can look at a person’s activities in accordance with his spiritual principles, his ability for purposeful activity, his strategic nature, what is the purpose of his life, how much will is needed to fulfill this goal. At this point you can find the God that man creates for himself, his idol. This is his social status and the profession that he chooses for himself as the goal of life.

The position of the planets in this house is very important, as is the position of the ruler of this house. Success, fame, fame, social status are determined by the tenth house. Events around the house - gaining fame, career growth. In general, all important events can take place in the tenth house. For example, an arranged marriage is more likely to be associated with the tenth house than with the seventh.

Eleventh house - "like-minded people." This house, first of all, describes a person’s friends, relationships with friends, with interest groups. It also describes a person’s attitude towards the future, his plans. When Aries falls on top of this house, the person's friends are active. There is often rivalry between friends, which promotes mutual growth. If Capricorn is at the top of the eleventh house, then, as a rule, the person has few friends; in them he values ​​reliability above all.

Twelfth house the most difficult house for a person to understand. He is responsible for everything hidden, inaccessible to man. It shows the machinations and machinations of behind-the-scenes enemies. Deprivation and illness are often associated with the twelfth house. Emigration, separation from home, family, imprisonment, military service, chronic illnesses are typical events of the twelfth house. It is also the house of karma that needs to be worked out. The nature of karma is determined by the position of the vertex of the twelfth house, as well as its ruler and significator.

The concept of “Horoscope House” in astrology arose in ancient times and is still an important part of this knowledge system. The term “House” goes back to the word “DOMINUS” (Latin), which means GOD.

Along with the zodiac signs and planets, astrological Houses are the main elements in the design of a personal horoscope. To better understand the mystery of the astrological Houses, you need to have an idea of ​​the Zodiac and the principle of constructing a natal birth chart.

Zodiac, cosmogram and astrological houses

The zodiac can be defined as a system of 12 energy zones (zodiac signs), named after the constellations historically projected onto them, symbolically embodying animal, human and inanimate images that have different properties, energy and other characteristics characteristic of them.

Since ancient times, people considered Heaven to be the abode of the Gods. Perhaps, when the ancients looked at the conjunctions of the stars, their imagination created this system of different symbolic images, conductors of the influence of the 12 Gods. This is how the signs of the zodiac could arise - the heavenly astrological Houses or the 12 abodes of the Gods on the Celestial sphere.

If on a plane we schematically depict in a circle the signs of the zodiac and the planets, luminaries and mutual aspects between them (angular distances) located at a particular moment in time relative to them, we will obtain an image called a cosmogram in astrology.

The cosmogram conveys global astrological information and deep energy, which in a broad sense concerns everyone living on Earth. According to the cosmogram in Mundan astrology, trends and event situations on a global planetary scale are determined. That is, if a cosmogram indicates the likelihood of some event, for example, an explosion, then this event can occur in a country or a number of countries and affect many people.

On an individual level, a cosmogram reflects or determines the initial mental and energetic potential of a person, according to which one can draw up his psycho-energetic portrait, assess his temperament and inclinations. But since the cosmogram is not tied to the geographic coordinates of a person’s place of birth, detailed event information related to a specific person cannot be extracted from it.

In order to display the daily rotation of the celestial sphere in a certain geographical location, when constructing a horoscope of a person or object, a duodecimal grid, called the “House of the Horoscope,” is also superimposed on the cosmogram. In an astrological chart, the Houses look like parts of one circle. Like the signs of the zodiac, there are only twelve Houses and they are all puzzles of one whole - the reality in which we live.

Astrological Houses in the horoscope

The houses of the horoscope play a key role in the game called Life, in which they are responsible for the formation of a series of events.

In the natal chart, each House corresponds to one of the zodiac signs and those aspects, areas of life that it symbolizes. Only the zodiac signs are the 12 Houses of the Celestial Sphere, and the Houses of the horoscope are analogues of the signs, their energy projections (fields) on Earth. So the 1st House energetically corresponds to Aries and its symbolic ruler - the planet Mars. The first House in the horoscope is our “I”. He is responsible for the external manifestations of a person’s personality: appearance, image, character traits, features of self-affirmation and self-expression.

2nd House – Taurus and Venus. This is the field of the material sphere, earnings and spending, nutrition, vitality and abilities thanks to which a person obtains material resources.

The remaining astrological Houses also show our external and internal connections with different areas of life. Planets in Houses determine the way and nature of realizing a person’s potential and shape life circumstances. The interaction of the Houses with each other, with the planets and other points of the horoscope determines the conditions and implementation of events in a person’s life.

Each House has a cusp - a point of concentration of the energy of its field. In the minds of many, cusps are the beginnings of fields, but these ideas are incorrect! The cusp is the place of maximum manifestation of the power of the House. In fact, the beginning of the field “floats” and can be within 2-3° in front of the cusp. So, if a planet in the 1st House is located in this limit near the cusp of the 2nd House, theoretically it can release its energy in areas of life related to the 2nd House.

The cusps are strictly tied to the cardinal directions, but since the Earth rotates around its axis and the Sun, their ecliptic coordinates (position in the Zodiac) are constantly changing. That is, the moment in time and geographical location determine the position of the House cusps in the horoscope. Therefore, Houses in the natal chart may not be in their parental zodiac signs, the earthly projection of which they are.

The counting of Houses in the natal chart begins with Ascendant (ASC)– cusp of the 1st House of the horoscope, the ascending degree of the ecliptic, always located in the East at the point of sunrise. The ascending zodiac sign in which the Ascendant is located at birth and the planets in the 1st House of the horoscope influence a person more significantly than his solar sign of birth. ASC is the most important point in the horoscope, determining the core of a person’s personality and his characteristic features. For example, with ASC in Taurus, a person is practical and reliable, guided in everything by considerations of usefulness and efficiency. The material side of life is very important to him. In appearance he has the features of a Taurus; usually of medium build, broad bones, strong neck, large nose, prominent forehead and brow ridges, dark hair.

Every 4 minutes, the ecliptic longitude ASC changes by 1°, and in one day all 360° of the zodiacal circle pass through the Ascendant. That is, the ASC in the natal charts of two people born in the same place but with an interval of 4 minutes (“astrological twins”) will be in different degrees, which makes differences in their personalities and destinies.

In modern astrology, there are many ways to domify a horoscope (house systems). There are equiangular and unequal house systems.

In equiangular systems, each House is equal to 30°, and the division of the ecliptic into Houses can begin from different points: from 0° of the sign of Aries, ASC and the MC point - the cusp of the 10th House. Among equinomous systems in astrology, two systems have proven themselves well - this is the equiangular system, counting 30-degree sections of fields from ASC and the polar system of houses from MC (Zariel or Meridian system), often used by astrologers when working with horoscopes of people born in northern latitudes ( north of 60° N).

Often the choice of a particular house system is determined by the availability of special astrological tables and its popularity. Of the many unequal grids of horoscope houses, the most popular are: the Placidus (Placido) system and the Koch system. The Placidus system is used in astrological work by many astrologers, especially Western ones. The Koch system has proven its effectiveness in working with event formulas using the method of Shestopalov S.V.

Some astrologers believe that no system can be universal and therefore they work with two or three systems, choosing the most suitable one for each specific task. Perhaps this approach is the most correct and each of the existing house systems is designed to read only some part of the information field of existence. That is, one system of houses is more suitable for forecasting, the second is more suitable for a karmic horoscope, the third is optimal for drawing up a psychological portrait, etc.

But astrologers do not have a consensus on assigning the status of greatest “truthfulness” to one of the house systems. This controversial issue remains open. Each astrological school has its own tradition and argumentation in favor of one or another system. But it is the astrological Houses that make it possible to create the most complete picture of the fate of a particular individual, and the accuracy of forecasting events depends on the correct choice of the system. And until the issue of unambiguous application of one or another house system is resolved in astrology, discrepancies will arise among “stargazers” of the same astrological data, which in turn reduces the number of supporters of astrology and increases the ranks of astroskeptics.

The houses are similar to signs, that is, the first house corresponds to Aries, the second to Taurus, the third to Gemini, and so on.

Interpretation of horoscope houses and their meaning

The interpretation of the meanings of houses has something in common with the interpretation of the meanings of signs, but, at the same time, there are differences. If the signs are deep energy, then at home there is a more superficial, but also more noticeably manifested, eventful layer. Houses characterize the areas of life and our attitude towards them, how things are going in each area, what events will happen and when.

12 houses, in principle, cover our entire life, any events that may occur in it. Here is a brief interpretation of the astrological houses of the horoscope:

1 House— Personality, early childhood, physical body, appearance, home of our “I”.

2 House— What we own, our attitude towards property, finances and other material resources, the ability to earn money, use objects of the material world, deep values.

3 House- Direct connections and behavior in a social environment, direct communication, brothers and sisters, neighbors, short trips, social learning, perception of information, practical mind.

4 House- Ancestors, home, family roots, foundations, a place where a person feels safe, the home of a parent with whom a person has the closest connection, traditions, ancestral karma.

5 House— Creative self-expression, children, love relationships, artistic creativity.

6 House— Physical health, relationships with superiors, service, work, daily work.

7 House— Partnership, including marriage, society, open enemies, justice, legality, equal relationships, business connections, social work.

8 House- Other people's property and finances, inheritance, death, sex, rebirth, house of transformation and rebirth.

9 House— Philosophy, religion, law, world views, long travel, religious beliefs, higher education, sports, languages, writing skills, shared thinking that shapes global consciousness.

10 House- Career, profession, connections with the outside world, the home of a parent with whom the person is less closely connected, the purpose of life, political power.

11 House— Large groups and organizations, selfless relationships, acquaintance, friends, people of the same circle, hopes and desires, achieving goals, collective creativity, self-expression.

12 House— Secretiveness, mysticism, occultism, self-destruction, mental health, secret societies, degree of freedom, freedom, imprisonment (in hospitals, prisons, etc.).

"Point of Life"— The Ascendant or the vertex of the 1st house, from which all houses begin, determines the external manifestation of a person: his appearance, behavior, lifestyle. Whereas the sign of the Zodiac, which the Sun falls into at the moment of birth and by which we usually determine our belonging to one or another sign of the Zodiac, shows our deeper, psychological nature. This is why people born under the same sign are so different. The position of the Ascendant strictly depends on the minutes, and even seconds of birth, as well as on the coordinates of the place in which it occurred.

The simplest calculations show that of the people currently living on the planet, approximately 400 million people belong to a certain Solar Sign. The number of people born on the same day among the living is approximately 20 thousand. Every seven hundred people were born at a certain minute, but if you consider that at that moment people were born in different parts of the planet, the claims of astrologers to assign each horoscope the status of a unique individuality become understandable. This statement is reflected in the picture of the Houses of the horoscope.

Having dealt with the correspondence of houses with zodiac signs, we will proceed to a more detailed examination of each house.

First house of horoscope - meaning

First house means your personality, briefly characterized by "I myself", the most important house. Here you can determine the main character traits, behavior, appearance, body structure, life attitudes. Events with active personal participation take place in this house, life-changing events, including those affecting changes in the physical body, changes in life attitudes. This is a very important and strongly manifested house. The Ascendant and planets in the first house are more pronounced than the sun sign, in any case, their influence is more noticeable from the outside.

If the vertex of the first house is V Aries, then the person is energetic and assertive, knows well what he wants, and shows independence. As a rule, they have an athletic build and are tall. Impulsive, impetuous.

Under Gemini At the top of the first house, a person is characterized by sociability and the desire to receive new information. As a rule, it makes it easier to learn foreign languages. A quick, quick glance. The skin is dark, easily tanned.

If the Ascendant hits in the sign of Virgo, then a person loves a common sense approach to everything. He is critical, first of all, of himself, and with intense aspects an inferiority complex may appear. This type of person loves to see concrete results of his hard work.

Thus, we see that the Ascendant manifests the qualities of the sign in relation to a person’s personality, his appearance, and life principles. The planet in the first house is very important, as is the location of the ruler and significator of the house.

The meaning of the Second House of the horoscope

Second house shows everything that a person owns, what he considers his own. Material living conditions, property (movable rather than immovable, which is more associated with the fourth house), money. It also shows the reserve of vitality, attitude towards material values, what kind of things a given person tries to surround himself with. Here you can also find out how a person spends his earned money. Events in the second house are mainly related to receiving money, spending it, earning money, and making purchases.

If the vertex of the second house falls in the sign of Aquarius, then we can say that a person loves original things, new equipment. If the vertex of the house is in Taurus, we can talk about good prerequisites for wealth, love for luxury, beautiful things and jewelry.

The third house in the horoscope - the meaning of the house

Third house associated with a person’s immediate environment. These are equal or almost equal people, those with whom a person interacts in everyday life. This includes brothers, sisters, neighbors, co-workers (but not bosses or subordinates). It is also the house of information - newspapers, radio, television, books, conversations, gossip, everyday communication - all these are areas of influence of the third house. Events related to the listed people, short trips, obtaining information (receiving or writing letters, any correspondence are reflected here), business contacts, specific education as the acquisition of a sum of practical knowledge and skills take place in this house. Places associated with this house are shops, libraries, transport stops, schools, colleges.

Interpretation of the fourth house of the horoscope

Fourth house- "my roots." This is your own home, place of residence, family, place of rest, relationship with nature, small homeland, parents. This house also means completion, including natural death, as the end of a certain stage. It is also the basics, upbringing, support or base in life. Events in the fourth house: changes in the family, in the house, change of place of residence, completion of any activity.

At the cusp of the fourth house in Aries The family environment is impulsive, family life is uneven. Problems of home life are solved by parental initiative. It may very well turn out that family life is like a camping trip, without much comfort, and the person does not develop the need for special comfort, coziness, or stability. It may turn out that they move often, or it may turn out that the parents are military. Conflict situations in the home can lead to head injuries or headaches. It may turn out that the mother has an aggressive character, and it is passed on to the child, and the aggressiveness of the fourth house is very deep. Or it is not aggressiveness, but negativism, that is, internal, deep-seated dissatisfaction and a projection of a negative nature into the future. This sensation, which a person can produce on others, is the most difficult for him to track in himself, since the 4th house is the deepest point of the horoscope.

When the cusp of the fourth house falls in the sign of Taurus, the situation in the house can be harmonious, it can be disharmonious, depending on the aspect of the ruler. And if it is harmonious or disharmonious, then there is a stable, stable atmosphere in the house. Depending on the aspect of the ruler, a person receives stable material support from parents or needs it, hopes for it, but does not receive it. It's hard to change anything in this house. And if the parental environment does not match your taste, then you need to make a tremendous effort to do something at home to your taste. Parents can leave a fortune accumulated over many years of life; it can consist of buildings, territories, savings and savings. In adulthood, a person has a need to organize his own home according to the principle of my home is my fortress, a place where he can hide, where he feels reliable, stable, stable. How well he succeeds, the planet in the house or the aspect of the ruler to the cusp will show you. It should be a strong, beautiful, durable house, where there will be supplies of food and valuables for a rainy day, and there will be concern about old age.

If the vertex of the fourth house in Gemini, then in the house there may be flexible, sensitive relationships, an atmosphere of mutual understanding between parents and children, ease in relationships, their intellectual nature, a large fortune is not obvious, there may be intellectual heredity (the manager will show what nature), frequent moves. Home life can be enlivened by numerous contacts, visits, and departures of relatives. The idea of ​​sociability is present in the house, perhaps reading a lot, perhaps talking on the phone a lot. And most likely, all the neighbors are in the house.

In case of Cancer on the cusp of the fourth house, the family environment pays great attention to the family's past, traditions, and people from the family. The family preserves archives, letters, and documents. Family wealth is preserved and passed on from generation to generation. The condition can be quite serious, mainly on the mother’s side. It is extremely important for a person to create his own family, this is the goal of his life and can cause difficult feelings if the family does not work out. Then he tries to create a family at work or work in areas where the environment turns into a family one: all kinds of child care institutions, orphanages, hospitals, the catering industry.

Fourth house cusp position in the sign of Leo indicates that in family life there is a sense of hierarchy, there is a main, senior, chief of the family. Relationships with your own are open, pure, clear, independent. Paternal heredity may be present here. The condition is solid, perhaps it has luxury items, gold, and large valuables. This house is light, bright, they try to make it luxurious. In his own soul, man seeks brilliance and superiority. He is very careful and sensitive to his merits and how they are perceived. If he finds out that his actions are perceived unworthily, he is able to change them for the sake of self-love. After creating his own home, a person takes a patronizing or authoritarian attitude towards his parents, he becomes the boss of the family and dictates his own terms.

If the vertex of the 4th house falls in Virgo, then miscalculations and practical meaning have a strong influence on family life here. A person keeps a large number of responsibilities and obligations in his soul; the inheritance, usually modest, consists of the fruits of the labor of family members and is passed from hand to hand. Transfer of skills, some practical skills. The house is organized according to modest taste, with simplicity and satisfies the practical needs of man.

When we see Scales at the top of the fourth house, then here family life is full of charm and taste. This is an elegant house, designed in an aesthetic manner. There is harmony in the house and good mutual understanding among the members. The house should be fashionable, secular, elegant, light. A person has the same soft and harmonious soul; communication with him brings you to peace, to a state of silence. Family life is necessarily part of a person's emotional life. Social receptions, art, music, literary salons can be organized in the house, not for the sake of celebrities, as it could be in Leo, but for the sake of communication, for the love of art.

When Scorpio, the family environment is rather tense, it is often filled with emotions, jealousy, passion, hatred, death - these are problems that are discussed in the house, this is a state that passes through the house and changes it. It may turn out that family mourning is painful. It may be that questions about financial status provoke conflicts, quarrels over inheritance, division of inheritance, and family separation over this issue. In this house there may be tendencies towards a secret life, there is a need to hide in one’s home and hide one’s soul, to hide. This house, purely physically, can be organized with some kind of secret doors, with additional exits, with hiding places. External tragic events can lead to the physical destruction of a home, events such as all kinds of natural disasters, and the death of relatives. Occult knowledge, interests, and secret methods of treatment can be just as deep in the house. This is the house of passion and the house of secrets.

When Sagittarius is at the top of the fourth house, then we can talk about spiritual, intellectual relationships in the family. The family, the laws of the family, are subject to the moral principles of its members. Issues of conscience and honesty are the root causes of all kinds of discussions in the family, family councils, conversations about ethics, behavior, family legends. Maybe there is a religious atmosphere in the house. From a distance, this relationship looks very independent, but that's only from afar. How are things really going? A careful study of Jupiter in relation to the cusp of the fourth house and the Moon is necessary. A person experiences great attachment to his comforts at home, has his own forms of relaxation that are familiar to him, his own traditions. This family can completely, unlike Gemini, emigrate from their native country. Geminis tend to move from their home, leave their parents and go to another world. And Sagittarius is more likely to move the whole place, all together.

If the moment of birth occurred on the cusp of the fourth house in Capricorn, then the atmosphere in the house is usually strict and dry. The house may be dark, poor lighting. Family connections and relationships can be quite strong and deep, but they are very far from demonstration, any demonstrativeness, they look dry and restrained, although feelings can be deep and lasting. There may be a single father, a widower. This family has a slow but steady growth of property consisting of lands and buildings. A person’s inner life lacks liveliness, lacks feelings and sensitivity, he experiences some isolation from the world, his emotional life undergoes deprivation and restrictions. The end of life can be chosen according to the place; at the end of life there can be a hermitage, a conscious restriction.

Finding the cusp in Aquarius gives family life organized in conditions of warm, fraternal understanding, in conditions of equal relations. In the house there can be numerous friendly receptions, relationships of selflessness, sincerity, deep, basic human strengths. At the end of life, the intellectual atmosphere, but also the end of life may be subject to some sudden, unexpected event that will change the emotional life of a person or his home, the atmosphere in the family.

Finally, if the top in Pisces, then in this family the relationships are somehow elusive, very similar to Tarkovsky’s films, here is the reality of a dream: something happens, someone appears, it’s not necessarily who he is, some conversations are being held. Relationships may seem awkward or strange. Sometimes this is expressed in an atmosphere of sacrifice, when the whole family sacrifices for the sake of another person’s illness, or when parents demand a child’s sacrifice, or the child himself sacrifices his life in favor of his parents and caring for them. It could be a sick mother. In this home life there is an atmosphere of instability, unspoken conditions. There may also be some difficulties with an inheritance that floats away from a person, or arrives unclear how and from where, from the unknown. They say that it is dangerous to live with such a house close to water; it is at risk of accidents and floods. If it is not close to water, then in such a house there are leaks in the roof and ceilings, pipes break, cars break down - such a “fish” house. The danger is especially aggravated if the Moon or Neptune is in this house, or if the Moon and Neptune are afflicted in the chart.

Meaning of the Fifth House of the Horoscope

Fifth house is responsible for creativity. These are any free self-expression of a person. Games, theater, sports are for pleasure, not for the sake of a career or money. Excitement, hobbies and entertainment, leisure. This house is also responsible for love, for love as a feeling, and not for marriage or sex, although sex for pleasure is also related to the fifth house. Another area of ​​this house is children and the attitude towards them. Everything that brings joy and pleasure is associated with the fifth house. Events around the house - pleasures, love, birth of children.

By studying the fifth house, the astrologer finds out to what extent a person will pursue pleasure, including extramarital affairs, finds out how passionate a person is, predicts possible success or failure in the love sphere, as well as relationships towards children and with children.

For example, watermark on the cusp of the fifth house, especially Cancer, indicates a strong desire to have children, developed maternal feelings. If this is a man, then he will be very attached to his children.

Sixth house of the horoscope

Sixth house associated with daily work. Ability to work, application of acquired skills. Subordinates and servants are also related to the sixth house. Presence of pets and attitude towards them.

The sixth house is also associated with health. Based on the planets in the house and the sign at the top of the house, one can determine predispositions to diseases. For example, Gemini on the top of the sixth house can give rise to frequent colds, speech disorders, and generally indicate low respiratory system protection.

Events in the sixth house: work, getting a new position, dismissal, illness, treatment, recovery, relationships with subordinates, including servants.

Seventh house of the horoscope

Seventh house- "my partner". The house of relationships that are longer and more serious than those in the third or fifth houses. Various contracts, marriage and marriage partner are described by the seventh house.

In a horoscope, the seventh house also shows what type of partner a given person strives for.

If, for example, at the apex of the seventh house there is Aries You long for a partner who is energetic, physically active and proactive, and who can shake you up to balance your well-being.

If in your horoscope Fish fall on the top of the seventh house, you tend to show excessive care for your partner, accordingly you are attracted to partners whom you can help and support during crises. You are unlikely to be attracted to an active and proactive partner; rather, you are inclined to take on the role of leader in the relationship.

Events around the house: the beginning of a relationship, concluding contracts, weddings, and also together with the eighth house - termination of contracts, divorce.

Eighth house of the horoscope

Eighth house often associated with extreme conditions. This is the house of borderline states. Extreme situations, emergency surgery, death, taking risky or prohibited actions - all this has to do with the eighth house.

Another meaning of the eighth house is sexual relationships, as well as a person’s personal sexuality. The first sexual experience is always somehow connected with the eighth house, like an irreversible crossing of the border between “before” and “after”.

Other people's property, money, insurance, taxes and loans are another facet of the eighth house. Events around the house: injuries, operations, death (your own or someone close to you), transactions with other people's money, receiving or losing money, sex, risk, criminal cases.

A reasonable question may arise here: how to distinguish between these events? How to determine whether a person will have an accident or have his first sexual experience? To do this, you need to look at the horoscope and current influences together, see what other houses and planets are involved, and what aspects are formed.

Ninth house of the horoscope

Ninth house- house of aspirations. Outlook, higher education, travel, worldview, ideology and religion are the spheres of the ninth house. Foreigners and distant relatives also have a connection to this house. For example, Capricorn on top of this house gives a conservative attitude towards life, while Aquarius shows your openness to everything new, a penchant for invention, love for other countries and travel. Events around the house: obtaining higher education (entry, graduation), long-distance travel, getting to know other cultures, changing your outlook on life.

Tenth house of the horoscope

Tenth house- "the purpose of life". The Xth house is the midheaven, MC, the highest point above the horizon, the apex of the triangle, the evolution of man, where the 2nd and 6th houses lie at the base underground, his financial situation with which he was born, the service that he is ready to commit in the house, and on the basis of this, the peak that he can achieve in life, the highest task that a person sets for himself. The Xth house will show what the means are to achieve this goal, in what area a person strives to succeed in life: social, intellectual or spiritual. From this point a person looks at himself from above, this is his place in the structure, this is the goal of personal embodiment, this is a way to integrate into the social structure, this is his attitude to the hierarchy. Here is spiritual teaching, here are the teachers whom a person chooses for himself and the area in which he wants to improve. Here is the administrative activity of a person, how he is adapted to it or not, here is the level of his professional success. Here we can look at a person’s activities in accordance with his spiritual principles, his ability for purposeful activity, his strategic nature, what is the purpose of his life, how much will is needed to fulfill this goal. At this point you can find the God that man creates for himself, his idol. This is his social status and the profession that he chooses for himself as the goal of life.

The position of the planets in this house is very important, as is the position of the ruler of this house.

Success, fame, fame, social status are determined by the tenth house.

Events around the house - gaining fame, career growth. In general, all important events can take place in the tenth house. For example, an arranged marriage is more likely to be associated with the tenth house than with the seventh.

Eleventh house of the horoscope

Eleventh house- "like-minded people." This house, first of all, describes a person’s friends, relationships with friends. It also describes a person’s attitude towards the future, his plans.

When Aries falls on top of this house, the person's friends are active. There is often rivalry between friends, which promotes mutual growth.

If Capricorn is at the top of the eleventh house, then, as a rule, the person has few friends; in them, he, first of all, values ​​​​reliability.

Twelfth house of the horoscope

Twelfth house the most difficult house for a person to understand. He is responsible for everything hidden, inaccessible to man. It shows the machinations and machinations of behind-the-scenes enemies. Deprivation and illness are often associated with the twelfth house.

Emigration, separation from home, family, imprisonment, military service, chronic illnesses are typical events of the twelfth house. It is also the house of karma that needs to be worked out. The nature of karma is determined by the position of the vertex of the twelfth house, as well as its ruler and significator.

<<ДОМ>> horoscope comes from the Latin word "DOMINUS" - GOD. The houses of the horoscope are based on the daily rotation of the celestial sphere around the Earth. The houses of the horoscope are calculated in the sidereal time system (the rotation of the Earth around its axis). During the day, all 360 degrees of the ecliptic pass through the horizon line (ASC).

The houses of the horoscope are a connection with the worlds around and inside us. They describe our natural connection with worlds, showing how we connect these different worlds into a single, seamless experience of reality.

Zodiac signs in the sky are celestial houses, and horoscope houses on Earth are tied to a specific geographical location - the place of birth of a person. They create individual circumstances with specific geographic coordinates. Using these data, it is possible to analyze the planet in relation to the house which creates the “house element”.

All planets in the horoscope are considered as elements of houses. They manifest themselves in life events through the interactions of the houses of the entire horoscope. This is what simplifies and structures the reading of human destiny according to specific circumstances and areas of life.

Each horoscope house begins with the Cusp

The cusps of the main houses of the horoscope are: ASC (1st house, DSC (7th house), MC (10th house), IC (4th house). Cusps are calculated manually (ephemeris and Koch tables), or automatically in an astrological program:

Sidereal time is calculated using:

  • Greenwich time
  • Sidereal time at the beginning of the day
  • Correction of longitude for place of birth
  • Hourly correction
  • Ephemeris correction (used for 20th Century)

Counter-houses - Axis of houses: opposite the 1st cusp (beginning of the house) there will be the 7th house, 2nd-8th, 3-9, 4-10, 5-11, 6-12, the cusps of these pairs falling on the zodiac signs are opposite to each other! The degrees and minutes of these paired houses always coincide, for example: the cusp of the 1st house falls at 13 degrees of Scorpio, which means the cusp of the seventh house will be 13 degrees of Taurus.

The picture shows an example of a cosmogram.

House rulers, house cusps.

Each astrological house in the natal chart has its own real and symbolic ruler - the Planet. The symbolic ruler is the owner of the zodiac sign to which a given house corresponds according to the number of its category from the 1st Aries to the 12th Pisces. The real ruler of a house is the ruler of the sign in which the cusp of a given house falls. It often happens that the house also has a co-manager. This is the owner of the sign that is completely or partially in the house (after the sign of the ruler). Sometimes it happens that a house is so big that there are three signs in it. In this case we are dealing with the second co-ruler of the house or the junior co-ruler.

Analogy of the importance of rulers: the manager is the head of the house, the co-manager is his deputy, the junior co-manager is the assistant to the deputy (with real management powers), the symbolic manager is a representative person, like a wedding general (does not have much real authority).

Thus, according to their strength, the rulers of the house are arranged in the following order:

1. Manager;

2. Co-manager;

3. Junior co-manager (subdominant);

4. Symbolic ruler.

If there are no problems with determining the ruler and the symbolic ruler, then the co-rulers are determined using the following algorithm.

Big house.

This is a house whose length is greater than or equal to 30° degrees. If a sign in a house is 13°11 minutes or more, then the owner of this sign is considered a co-ruler (junior co-ruler).

Small house.

This is a house whose length is less than 30°. The boundary of the signs can be in such a way that the first sign occupies only a few degrees in the house, and the second zodiac sign, although less than 13°11, is greater than the first.

For example, The first sign occupies 5° in the house, and the second - 8°. In this case, the second sign gives an obvious second ruler. If the sign following the sign of the ruler in the house occupies more than half of the entire length of the house, then the owner of this sign is considered a co-ruler of this house.

Summarizing the above, we can say that the second sign or third in a horoscope house gives a second ruler (co-ruler) if it occupies more than 13°11 in this house, either the same or more space than in the first or second sign.

Fields (Home)describe the visible external circumstances of life. If the signs of the Zodiac show the potential inherent in us at birth, then the fields show how and in what areas of life this potential can manifest itself to the maximum. The fields provide information about a person’s personality, his material, spiritual and intellectual inclinations and problems. Planets in the signs of the Zodiac speak about the nature of the manifestation of energy, showing how the energy of the sign will be used. And the planets in the fields show the areas of life in which this energy will be released, where a person’s efforts will be directed and what problems he will have to solve. Sergey Vronsky: “Volume 1. Introduction to astrology.”

Brief characteristics of the 12 astrological houses

In ancient times, astrologers believed that every part of our life is guided by “their gods,” which can be seen in the horoscope. Each area of ​​our life has its own forces and laws that govern the course of events. We can read all these invisible processes in the HOROSCOPE HOUSES, which reveal the potential of the individual.

The houses seem to repeat the duodecimal division of the sky by the signs of the Zodiac, but only on their own, different level: the 12 Signs of the Zodiac are by their nature absolutely equal and equal in rights, but the Houses of the horoscope are always uneven.

It symbolizes the person himself, his personal manifestations, character, manners, gait, appearance, behavior, his way of conquering the outside world, issues of personal self-affirmation.

Houses and Planets

The most important factor in a horoscope is the houses. It is at home that a horoscope is created. Other objects of the horoscope - aspects are considered from the point of view of their relationship to certain houses through the interrelations of houses. The nature of the house weighs heavily on the nature of the planets. The nature of the planets only affects the color of the event. The more influence a planet (luminary) has on a house, the more pronounced certain character traits and behavioral traits are. Planets in houses have more influence than the lords or planets that create certain aspects in the house.

Assessing the essential nature of the planets and their influence on the Houses of the horoscope:

Reflects the financial side of any activity. With harmonious influence, this fictitious point in space will provide security. If damaged, it will be at risk.

Events in the houses of the horoscope

The basic principle of predictive astrology is the primacy of houses, which means the advantage of houses. Houses play a leading role, and not the nature of the planets and zodiac signs - their role is auxiliary. It is the houses and their interaction with each other that create the individual fabric of events.

Events in the horoscope are determined according to the concept of the “Formula of Events”, as well as the interaction of houses. It doesn’t matter how the planet influences the house: through its position in it or through management and aspects. The main thing is that this influence is significant, that is, it is repeated at least three times.

Concepts Event formulas have effectively proven themselves in the system Koch houses, with whom S.A. worked Vronsky, and inefficiency through house of Placidus.

Forecasting events according to the houses of the horoscope occurs through the aspect and management of planets interconnected between the houses of the horoscope. The interaction of houses creates a formula for events, and the nature of the planets gives a way to realize this event: hard or soft, wet or dry, rough or gentle, cold or hot. The planets themselves rarely give any indication of what event is about to happen. This is the prerogative of the interaction of the horoscope houses with each other, the prerogative of the formula of events.

The influence of planets on houses is expressed in the psychological characteristics of human behavior, which create the color of the event. The difference between position in the house, control or influence through aspects is not significant. It is simply invisible, imperceptible in the organization and structuring of the event. Ultimately, for the realization of an event, it becomes unimportant how the luminary (planet) influences: being in the house, ruling the house, or creating an aspect to the element of the house.

Communication formula

We can reduce Planets - Signs - Houses into a simple formula: the planets show what type of physical, psychological or spiritual function you are working with; signs show how these functions manifest themselves; the houses indicate in which area of ​​life these functions most naturally manifest themselves.

  • PLANETS = WHAT
  • SIGNS = HOW
  • HOME = WHERE

Of course, planets are much more than motivations or functions; Signs are much more than relationships; and homes are more than areas of circumstance. In practice, a clear distinction between levels leads to blurring, since each level reflects and absorbs the qualities of other levels. A good astrologer weaves these indicators together to create a personalized horoscope interpretation.

The order of interaction between houses

3. Natal + Local;

4. Progressive or transit Natal;

5. Progressive or transitive Local;

6. Progressive or transit Natal+Local;

7. In the Solar, Lunar, Karmic chart;

8. In reverse progressions, directions.

House Systems

One example of a horoscope

To predict events, it matters which house system the astrologer works with. When comparing the two systems, we see how the number of points in houses differs. For some houses the difference is not significant. house scores allow you to immediately assess which houses are the most active and which are not.

Currently, there are many systems of domification, that is, ways of dividing the ecliptic into houses of the horoscope, which is one of the most important issues causing controversy between astrologers and various astrological schools and movements. Each school proves the correctness of its choice of one or another house system when analyzing the horoscope (Wikipedia).

Equally housed systems

  • ASC's Equal House System
  • MC Equal House System
  • System of full-sign houses
  • System of zodiac houses (30 degree system from the sign of Aries)

Non-equal systems

  • Morinus system
  • Porphyria system
  • Alcabitius system
  • Campano system
  • Regiomontana system

House system Koch- a scientifically proven system, tested by the SPBAA method (recommended by the site) gives a true picture of a person’s fate in all cases, reflecting the main and most striking events of life. It has proven to be effective in predicting event formulas.

System Placidus(Placida) - used by many astrological schools of the world as the most popular system. Scientifically proven ineffective in “event forecasting” using the SPBAA method.

Other house systems

  • Brahmagupta system
  • System of houses for diagnosing acute diseases according to Hippocrates
  • Topocentric system

So, if we consider separate house connections, then a significant difference is visible for certain houses. In the picture, the points in the second house according to Koch differ from the points in the second house according to Placidus, which is of no small importance when making a forecast.

Lecture 24. Houses of the horoscope. Introductory lecture. Part 1.
Today we are starting to study one of the most interesting and voluminous topics on the topic “Houses of the Horoscope”. Before we begin to get acquainted with all the houses separately, we should devote time to understanding what the houses of the horoscope are, what they are, and what exactly needs to be considered in order to make the appropriate judgments.
So, what are horoscope houses and where do they come from? You all know what the Zodiac Signs are, but not many of you realize that the zodiac signs are a kind of static coordinate grid. It is born from the annual movement of the Earth around the Sun. You all know that it is precisely as a result of this movement and different degrees of illumination of certain places on the surface of the Earth that the seasons change here on Earth.
I hope you remember that Astrology is based on a geocentric model of the structure of the world, therefore, from the point of view of astrology, it is not the Earth that moves around the Sun, but rather the Sun around the Earth. In this regard, when I talk about the movement of the Sun, you should understand that this is conditional and natural only for astrology. In reality, of course, things happen differently.
On the day of the spring equinox, the Sun passes through 0 degrees Aries, this ALWAYS happens. When the birth period of Cancer begins (summer in our latitudes) - the Sun moves away from the vernal equinox point 90 degrees - this is zero degree Cancer - and this is ALWAYS the same.
Always on our New Year - there is a period of Capricorn - zero degree of Capricorn, this is the “departure of the Sun” from 0 Aries by 270 degrees. Any Planet passing through the Zodiac at any given time occupies some position relative to 0 degrees Aries - this order is unchanged, it is common to all charts. Therefore, the Signs of the Zodiac are a static system of astrological coordinates, in which the position of the planets is calculated from the point of the vernal equinox - how many degrees they move away from it, this is the position they occupy in the horoscope. For example, the Planet has moved 65 degrees away from the vernal equinox, in coordinates this will be 5 degrees Gemini.
Unlike Zodiac Signs, Houses are an exclusively personal coordinate system, which depends on the place and time of birth of the Native and is superimposed on top of the static grid of Signs.
Unlike Signs, Houses can have any length and occupy sectors ranging in size from less than one Sign to 60, 70 degrees or more. True, if the sizes of houses exceed “normal” limits, astrologers most often switch to using an equal house system (when ALL houses are equal in size).
What are house systems? House systems are different approaches to calculating the length of houses. Today, the most popular are the Placidus house system (I work in it), the Koch house system, and the Regiomontanus house system. There are others, and many of them, but among astrologers working in classical Western astrology, the listed house systems are the most popular.
Astrologers have been arguing for a long time about the advantages and disadvantages of different house systems. It should be noted that when literate working in the chosen system, astrologers working in different house systems give equally true, correct and accurate results. Some astrologers combine different systems, but the majority, nevertheless, work in one of them. Most often, the choice of house system is implemented simply - the one that their teacher used, and the students use. To begin with, I, of course, recommend that you use the one you were taught on, or if you study astrology with the help of my lectures - Placidus. As a result, you can independently try working in other systems and choose the most suitable and convenient one for yourself.
Using different methods for calculating horoscope houses, astrology determines the cusps (beginning) of each pair of houses (those opposite the house have the same degrees, but in opposite Signs).
If you are interested in learning more about house systems, interested in understanding why different results are obtained in different systems, I recommend that you read Denis Kutalev’s book “Celestial Coordinates and House Systems.” In my opinion, this book is one of the simplest and at the same time scientific enough to study the relevant issue.
No matter how the houses are calculated, they are all calculated based on the specific location of a person and the time of his birth, and are based on the daily movement of the Earth around its axis.
In this regard, I would immediately like to draw your attention to one of the most common mistakes for beginning astrologers or astrologers studying remotely. Many of you have been making mistakes for a long time in determining how the planets move according to the horoscope. The movement of the Planets according to the horoscope from Sign to Sign, that is annual movement, if the planet is direct (moving straight) - goes according to the Zodiac Signs, that is against clockwise. Any Planet from 0 degrees Aries goes to 1 degree Aries, then to 2 degrees and so on until the end of Aries, then to 1 degree Taurus and so on until the end of Taurus. Then at 1 degree Gemini and further along the horoscope, ending with the last degree of Pisces.
But in its daily movement that is in transit through the ascendant the planets are moving in the opposite direction!!! This is a little difficult to understand without seeing the map, so for those of you who work with astrological programs, I recommend turning on the program, turning off all the Planets except the Moon, calling up the “clock”, and moving the Moon at intervals of 1 hour, see how it floats horoscope. Pay attention to degrees Moons (they will describe how the Moon moves according to the Signs) - as I already said, it will move from the previous degree to the subsequent ones - from Aries to Taurus, then Gemini further to Cancer and further along the horoscope, until it comes again at 0 degrees Aries. But at the same time, going in this direction according to the Signs, relative to the horizon, it will move in the opposite direction from the 1st house, the moon will go to 12 out of 12 at 11 out of 11 at 10 it will reach the MC (top of the Sky), then from 10 it will descend to 9 out of 9 8 will come from 8 to 7 and passing through the DSC, it will roll under the horizon.
This feature of the movement of the planets is very important to understand in order to determine where and where, in what direction, the planets move during the day or year.

Houses in a horoscope are of great importance; in fact, a map can be called a horoscope only when a grid of houses is marked on it. It is she (the grid of houses) that gives birth to the horoscope. Before it has been applied, you are working with a cosmogram, that is, the distribution of the Planets according to the Signs of the Zodiac, without taking into account the time and place of birth of a particular person.
Why are houses so important? The whole point is that the cosmogram, that is, the distribution of planets according to the signs of the zodiac, indicates the potential of a person, it talks about what qualities the Planets and, therefore, a person are endowed with. But we all know that not always and not all the qualities that we possess can be revealed. Much depends on the social environment, time, life circumstances, and the environment in which the Native finds himself.
It is for these indicators, for the environment, for the place (country, city, village), for parents, for social requirements and “advance of prospects” that the houses of the horoscope are responsible. They talk about the living conditions in which the Native is placed and, accordingly, which of his potentials will be realized more easily and which more difficult - obviously, it will be easier for the daughter of a prima ballerina from a big city to realize her talents in dance than for a girl with the same or even better data, born in some remote village, in which there is not only dancing, but no full school.
In addition, the houses will show the areas in which the quality of a particular Planet will be revealed. For example, Mars in the 1st house will indicate a very active Native, punchy and rude, and in the 7th it will indicate what kind of partners will come into the life of this Native.
Thus, signs are potentialities, and houses are a place (sphere of life) where the corresponding potential will or will not be manifested.
In astrology, the following analogy is accepted - Planets This What or Who in our life, Signs This how and what(people, circumstances, requests, etc.) in our lives. A Houses- This Where or areas of our life in which corresponding Who(Planets) endowed with some qualities (Signs).

You already know that there are 12 Houses in the horoscope, as well as Signs. But if all the Signs are equal in their meaning (not in a specific horoscope, but in principle, in general), then the houses have different “values”, and a hierarchy appears here.
So the first and main houses, the most important in the life of any person, are the so-called corner houses. Corner houses are already a little familiar to you. The corner houses begin with 4 cardinal points, known to you as – ASC is the cusp (beginning) of the 1st house, DSC is the 7th house, IS is the 4th house and MC is the 10th house.
These, the most important points of our horoscope, open the most important Houses of our horoscope.
Why are they so important? We have already said that the Ascendant is me, and, accordingly, the 1st house of which begins with the Ascendant indicates what I am, how I manifest myself in external life. He also points to Nativ’s body.
You know that DSC are partners, spouses, people who are important to us. And, accordingly, the entire 7th house, which opens the DSC, describes these people.
The 4th house begins with the IP, which, as you know, represents our roots, our parents, our home. What could be more important?..
The MC opens the 10th house, the house of our social achievements, ambitions, and career aspirations.
The houses 2, 8, 5 and 11 following the corner (or cardinal) houses are called subsequent. This group of houses is considered the second most important.
The 2nd house indicates our material well-being, self-esteem and immunity.
Eighth, using other people's or big money, crisis components. On occult themes and largely sexual life.
The 5th house is responsible for children, creativity, lovers, lovers, our hobbies and everything that gives us pleasure.
Friends and like-minded people fall into the 11th house. Moreover, it is important to note here that friends in the eleventh house are people with whom you have a fairly stable relationship, but at the same time, as a rule, united by a single goal or commonality of the group.
You all know that friends can be different, with some people we are friends based on the principle of territorial proximity - for example, our friends in the yard, classmates, classmates and other people with whom we are close geographically. These friends and acquaintances are third house people.
We make friends with other people on the basis of some commonality of ideas, views, hobbies, aspirations. These are just people 11 at home.
But there are people in our lives whom we love, regardless of the distance from passions, hobbies and worldview. Such a friend, for example, may live in another country, you may see her extremely rarely, she may not share your passion for astrology or some other hobbies, she may be from a different social group, but you always know that you have her there is and it is important to you in itself! Such people, girlfriends and friends, go through the 7th house.
Returning to the eleventh house, it is worth saying that our dreams and plans, our projects and aspirations still “live” here.

Subsequent houses are second in the house hierarchy system. Naturally, in a personal horoscope they can be highlighted much more strongly than the angular ones, and in this case have a dominant. You will spend more time and effort on their implementation, pay more attention, and achieve greater results.
But if we talk about the horoscope as a whole about the importance and strength of the manifestation of planets and houses, then the angular houses come in front and the subsequent ones follow them.
Last in the hierarchy of houses are falling Houses. These include 3, 9, 6 and 12.
The division of houses according to hierarchy is an important indicator in horary astrology. It really matters which house the significator (an indicator of some kind of business) is in. In natal astrology, this division will be of a formal nature, since for each specific person a more significant area of ​​life will be shown by more filled houses and these will not necessarily be 1, 7, 4 or 10. Maybe 3, maybe 12, maybe 8 and so on . And in this case, they will dominate over the others, everything will be done to achieve results in these houses.
The third house shows our immediate environment. Here are the same friends based on the territorial principle, here are neighbors, classmates, fellow students. Here all collateral relatives are brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles (unless we separate them using the derivative house system

Here is the road and everything connected with it. Here are short trips and training in some simple applied things and sciences.
The ninth house shows our partner’s relatives, who are as “lateral” as the third for us. It indicates long distance travel. Connected with everything foreign, with courts, justice and jurisprudence in general. Associated with higher education and any education that expands and changes our worldview. The 9th house is one of the most favorable in astrology, despite the fact that it belongs to cadent houses

The 6th house is responsible for our health, or more precisely, for diseases and their prevention. In the sixth house live simple illnesses, those with which a person suffers throughout his life, but which do not lead to hospitalization, operations, or any serious threats to life and health.

The sixth house may indicate that you will have problems with headaches or sore throats that you will suffer throughout your life. But if as a result of these diseases you end up in the hospital, it turns into a serious chronicle, gives disability or requires operations, then the 12th or 8th house will be active (together with the 6th or on its own).

The 6th house is the house of our daily obligations, daily work. A person’s professional activities can also go through the sixth house, but here, people work to earn their living. There are no career ambitions here that live in the tenth house. There is work here to live.
In the sixth house there are domestic animals, small ones, no larger than a goat.
The 12th house indicates all situations associated with a person’s isolation, whether forced or voluntary.
It indicates illnesses as a result of which a person becomes disabled, long-term incapacitated, or hospitalized, especially on a regular and strictly established periodic basis.
In the twelfth house there are all the secrets of business and secrets.
In addition, this house, like 4 and 8, is associated with occult abilities and high intuition

Once again, in theory, falling houses are considered less important than subsequent ones, or even more so angular ones, but this interpretation is greatly corrected by the indicators of the natal chart. In a particular natal chart, the most important houses will be those that are emphasized in one way or another.

In astrology, it is customary to correlate houses with elemental trine names. You know that there are Fire, Earth, Air and Water Signs. Houses are the same way.
The fact is that each of the houses has its own number symbolically is equated to the corresponding Sign number - Aries is symbolically similar to the first house, and the 5th house symbolically corresponds to Leo. The 8th house can be understood by knowing the characteristics of Scorpio, and the 10th - Capricorn, and so on.
In this regard, it turns out that the 1st, 5th and 9th houses correspond to the Fire Signs - Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, respectively.
The 2nd, 6th and 10th houses correspond to the Earth Signs - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
3rd, 7th and 11th houses - Air Sign - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
And finally, 4, 8 and 12 Water - Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
What does this mean in practice?
As we have already said, at home, these are the living conditions in which the Native finds himself and, therefore, the qualities that he must demonstrate in connection with these life circumstances. Signs are qualities that he actually possesses, but it is not known whether he will have the opportunity to develop and demonstrate these qualities.
Let's take, for example, a person whose chart contains many planets in Earth Signs. We can say about him that he is not very proactive, not very proactive, does not like changes, but is inclined to achieve his goal through perseverance and the ability to wait. He is very materially oriented and aimed at a specific result - this gives a predominance of Earth Signs.
But, if it so happens that a person is born with an accentuated first, fifth or ninth house, then we can already say that as a result of the prevailing circumstances, the person forced will manifest itself actively, dominate, take on Fire functions - lead, direct, force, dominate, independently resolve certain issues, be the initiator of one’s own and others’ activity. This is how the Fiery houses will make him MANIFEST. That is, the situation in his life is developing in such a way that he does not have the opportunity to sit back and shift the initiative onto someone else’s shoulders.
The same can be said about any combination of Signs and Houses.
For example, the natal chart is dominated by the Water element - a closed, vulnerable, fearful person. At the same time sensitive, emotional, intuitive.
When he is born, he receives a card that emphasizes the air houses 3, 7 or 11 and, despite his natural timidity, he will forced actively communicate with other people, be open and sociable. The native has to manifest himself in this way, since a person is born in a certain environment, faces certain living conditions and must adapt his natural qualities to these conditions. This is how they work at home.
Houses are also equated with crosses (also focusing on the qualities of the Signs corresponding to them).
So corner houses 1,7,4 and 10 are cardinal.
2.8, 5 and 11 fixed.
3,9, 6 and 12 are mutable.
If you have a chart where the cardinal houses are maximally occupied, then you want it or not, whether you have a predisposition for this according to the planets in the signs or not - but you will have to appear actively, purposefully and independently - that is, show cardinal qualities.
If you have occupied fixed houses, then regardless of how the Planets are located in the Signs and what characteristics they brought to your character, life still forces you to be more consistent, more concentrated, more constant, and so on.
The same can be said about mutable Houses - regardless of how the planets are positioned in the signs, life will force you to be more flexible, sociable, capable and ready for change.
Introductory lectures about houses are always very voluminous. There is always a lot of information. What we talked about today is only the first part of the introductory lecture.
However, despite such a volume of information, I will tell you right away that everything looks so complicated and confusing only in theory. In practice, everything is much easier and clearer, as you can see when you start working with houses in our practical classes.
