Product Information

Personal relationships, projected self-image through partner­ships, marriage, business partners, open enemies, breakups and divorces, civil courts, starting and ending of all personal ties. With all of that said, we're now we're ready to examine each house individually. The 1st House – Life & Breath Eighth House: This house represents shared resources — a partner’s income, money earned through commissions, and anything having to do with credit, loans, inheritance, mortgages, etc. From a health perspective, this house represents the act of sex, primal desires, secrets, and the death-rebirth cycle. Wellness and the erotic are inevitably linked. Intimacy, both physical and emotional, is a critical foundation of health. Each captain chooses its players. Sun drafts Jupiter, then Saturn. Moon chooses Venus, then Mars. And Mercury? He gets to referee.

Lastly, the last 100 years of Astrological study has conflated the zodiacal signs with the houses, whereby Aries rules the 1st House, Taurus the 2nd House, Gemini the 3rd, and so on. There is much evidence to suggest the contrary, and while it's certainly a topic worthy of discussion, it's one I won't be entering into here. For more on this topic, I recommend a thorough reading of Deborah Houlding's must-have work 'Temples of the Sky.' Once you’ve assembled context via location, you can add flavor through the signs. We understand the what and where of the planetary interactions; now we can glean the subtleties and characteristics by seeing which signs are involved. But without first situating the planets in the houses, you’ll have less than half of the story.Beyond its most common association with career, the 10th House is how we present in public: are we dynamic, admired, resented, scandalized? Whether for good or for bad, this house is a place of high visibility, and with visibility comes admiration - or condemnation. The business of this house is to take the pre-existing 4th House foundations and build towards an independent public profile, cobbled together through our actions and interactions. What's spelled out, appropriately, after mapping the coordinates indicated by this puzzle's circled letters Crossword Clue Many roads lead to Rome: some will seek the answers sitting in a pew, while a few will strike out for foreign lands in search of the same; still, others will explore the depths of the soul from within the confines of the library. However this wisdom is sought, the 9th House's aspectual relationship to the 1st House suggests that the expansive pursuits of the 9th may engender personal growth.

Tenth House: Career, social status and all matters which affect one’s status in society. Will you have public recognition? and will it be through fame or notoriety?! Will you have good public response? Are prone to scandals? Will you lead a public life? Do you have early or late recognition in your career and is it through your own efforts? Many modern Astrologers relate the 8th House as a point of evolution or transformation, perhaps pulling on from the association with death and expanding it to include a subsequent rebirth. While this may be philosophically accurate on some level, given that soul expansions often follow traumatic contractions, there is no way around it: this is not a happy house and rebirth does not always follow death. And the Sun “emerged” from the underworld in the Second House. What else comes out of the ground? In ancient understanding, riches of course. Gold, silver or other precious things. Also, the crops that sustained our life. So it’s a house associated with wealth.Open yourself up to the big-picture patterns that influence you-the daily, seasonal, and monthly cycles that govern your biology-and leverage those patterns for conscious action, growth, success, and a thriving life.

All matters that are more or less hidden from the public, se­crets, mysteries, governments or large corporations, institu­tions, hospitals, prisons, inhibitions, third "health house" for serious illnesses, boarding schools, convents, hidden contrac­tual matters, detective work, espionage, research. In medical astrology especially, both the Zodiac signs and the houses have been used for diagnosis, placing the head at the top (Aries, or the First House) and the feet at the bottom (Pisces, or the 12 th house). The 10th house is at the most open part of the natal chart. The tenth house oversees structures, organizations, traditions, fame, notoriety, respect, accomplishments, grants, limits, rules, training, fathers and parenthood. The cusp, or outskirts of the tenth house is also called the midheaven, and it gives hintsinto your vocation and true calling.Each of the 12 zodiac houses is associated with a set of traits, beginning from the self, and expanding outward into society and beyond. Do you have all 12 houses in your birth chart? If you're aiming to drink too much, spend too much, shag too much, and regret nothing, welcome home. This is just your kind of place. The houses also act as the 'homes' of the planets in our natal charts, and the presence or absence of planets within the houses can help describe where we seek or deny the expression of that planet's intentions. Some houses have a nature that is more or less conducive to certain pursuits, as we'll discover. But it wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that modern astrologers popularized the “natural chart” as the primary basis for interpreting house meanings. Considering that so much of astrology’s foundational theory had been lost, it made sense. The Ascendant (ASC), marks the point where the ecliptic crosses the eastern horizon. The Ascendant was considered the most important point in a chart because it determines your Rising Sign and all the other houses in the chart.

So, the Sun “entered” the underworld in the Eighth House. It represents going down into the shadows, figuratively and literally. It’s the shadowy places of our unconscious, the stuff we prefer not to see about ourselves. And the place of taboos, criminals, and the other underworld denizens. Plus, of course, the house of death… since the dead travel down to the underworld too.Fourth House: This house represents your home or real estate, parents, and family roots. It’s symbolic of what you need to feel safe and secure in your life, as well as your heritage. On the darker side of things, it correlates with endings. The fourth house cusp represents the imum coeli, or IC, of your chart. From the perspective of health, your fourth house shows how you relate to your foundation in life.

Daily Crossword Puzzles Publisher If 'all the world's a stage' as Shakespeare famously put it, then the houses in Astrology are our very own Astrological stage where all the celestial drama plays out. Planets in the 1st House are strongly felt and expressed, for good or for bad. Sometimes, these planets help describe our manner or appearance: Venus in the 1st folks may be particularly appealing in a Venusian way, while Saturn in the 1st may create a Saturnine, buttoned-up demeanor. The 1st House sign and ruler are also connected with one's sense of health and vitality. But, if you want to be really astrologically sophisticated, then you need to understand two other house meaning overlays astrologers use.
