What each house covers

The explanation

Here is the quick tour astrologers use. The first house covers self and body; the second, money and values; the third, communication and siblings; the fourth, home and family; the fifth, creativity and play; the sixth, work and daily health. Across the circle: the seventh holds partnership; the eighth, shared resources and depth; the ninth, travel and belief; the tenth, career and reputation; the eleventh, friends and hopes; the twelfth, rest and the inner life. To read your own chart, find which house each planet sits in, then read the arena it lands in. Each house names a field of life to explore — themes to work with, not outcomes fixed in advance.
