Twelve houses, twelve departments of life. A planet in a house switches that part of life on.
You. Your body, looks, temperament and vitality — and the way you walk into a room and start things. The whole chart is read from here.
What you keep and value — savings, possessions, food and family. Also your voice, what you say and the words you were raised with.
Your own effort and nerve. Rules siblings, hands-on skills, hobbies, short trips, writing and the guts to go after what you want.
Where you feel safe — home, land, property, vehicles and the mother. The 4th is your inner peace and the ground under your feet.
What you create — children, art, romance, and the spark of intelligence. Also education, speculation and good karma carried from before.
The daily grind and its friction — health, debts, enemies, competition and service. A strong 6th means you beat obstacles rather than being beaten by them.
The other person — spouse, business partner, and anyone you sit across the table from. Rules marriage, deals, contracts and open dealings with the world.
Deep transformation — inheritance, other people’s money, the occult, sudden events and lifespan. The house of what’s hidden and what breaks you open.
Fortune and faith — luck, blessings, the father, teachers, long journeys and your sense of meaning. The single luckiest house in the chart.
Your public life — career, standing, authority and what you’re known for. The top of the chart: your visible achievement in the world.
Rewards and networks — income, profits, friends, mentors and the fulfilment of desire. Whatever you hoped for tends to arrive through the 11th.
The exit door — expenses, foreign lands, sleep, solitude and spiritual release. What you spend, lose, or finally let go of on the way to freedom.
