What do the houses mean in astrology

The astrological houses correspond to 12 divisions of the sky, established according to the place and time of birth of each person. They never change position and are bound by a zodiac sign. The presence of the signs and one or more planets in the houses gives them meaning.

Why there 12 houses in astrology

The zodiac is divided into 12 segments, each with a different meaning. The first six are called personal houses and the last six interpersonal houses.

They represent the forces we have in our lives. It’s like a journey that begins with your true self (1st house, your rising sign) and ends with your unconscious self (12th house).

Astrological Houses can be organized into three groups:

• angular (1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses): they are our foundations and represent our actions.
• successors (2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th houses): they are our purposes and represent our stability.
• cadent (3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th houses): they are the transition points of the map and represent changes and adaptations that we need to deal with.
