Houses
The 12 Astrological Houses
The houses divide a birth chart into twelve segments, each covering an area of life — from identity and money to relationships, career and the inner world. Where a planet falls by house shows the arena in which its energy tends to play out.
Houses are anchored to the horizon at your moment of birth, so they depend on an accurate birth time and place. Without a known birth time, houses and chart angles cannot be calculated. Choose a house below to read its meaning.
