The concept of “Horoscope House” in astrology arose in ancient times and is still an important part of this knowledge system. The term “House” goes back to the word “DOMINUS” (Latin), which means GOD.
Along with the zodiac signs and planets, astrological Houses are the main elements in the design of a personal horoscope. To better understand the mystery of the astrological Houses, you need to have an idea of the Zodiac and the principle of constructing a natal birth chart.
Zodiac, cosmogram and astrological houses
The zodiac can be defined as a system of 12 energy zones (zodiac signs), named after the constellations historically projected onto them, symbolically embodying animal, human and inanimate images that have different properties, energy and other characteristics characteristic of them.
Since ancient times, people considered Heaven to be the abode of the Gods. Perhaps when the ancients looked at the conjunctions of stars, their imagination created this system of different symbolic images, conductors of the influence of the 12 Gods. This is how the signs of the zodiac could arise - the heavenly astrological Houses or the 12 abodes of the Gods on the Celestial sphere.
If on a plane we schematically depict in a circle the signs of the zodiac and the planets, luminaries and mutual aspects between them (angular distances) located at a particular moment in time relative to them, we will obtain an image called a cosmogram in astrology.
The cosmogram conveys global astrological information and deep energy related to in a broad sense everyone living on Earth. According to the cosmogram in Mundan astrology, trends and event situations on a global planetary scale are determined. That is, if a cosmogram indicates the likelihood of some event, for example, an explosion, then this event can occur in a country or a number of countries and affect many people.
On an individual level, a cosmogram reflects or determines the initial mental and energetic potential of a person, according to which one can draw up his psycho-energetic portrait, assess his temperament and inclinations. But since the cosmogram is not tied to the geographic coordinates of a person’s place of birth, detailed event information related to a specific person cannot be extracted from it.
In order to display the daily rotation of the celestial sphere in a certain geographical location, when constructing a horoscope of a person or object, a duodecimal grid, called the “House of the Horoscope,” is also superimposed on the cosmogram. IN astrological chart The houses look like parts of one circle. Like the zodiac signs, there are only twelve Houses and they are all puzzles of one whole - the reality in which we live.
Astrological Houses in the horoscope
The houses of the horoscope play a key role in the game called Life, in which they are responsible for the formation of a series of events.
IN natal chart each House corresponds to one of the zodiac signs and those aspects, areas of life that it symbolizes. Only the zodiac signs are the 12 Houses of the Celestial Sphere, and the Houses of the horoscope are analogues of the signs, their energy projections (fields) on Earth. So the 1st House energetically corresponds to Aries and its symbolic ruler - the planet Mars. The first House in the horoscope is our “I”. He is responsible for the external manifestations of a person’s personality: appearance, image, character traits, features of self-affirmation and self-expression.
2nd House – Taurus and Venus. This is the field of the material sphere, earnings and spending, nutrition, vitality and abilities thanks to which a person obtains material resources.
The remaining astrological Houses also show our external and internal connections with different areas of life. Planets in Houses determine the way and nature of realizing a person’s potential and shape life circumstances. The interaction of the Houses with each other, with the planets and other points of the horoscope determines the conditions and implementation of events in a person’s life.
Each House has a cusp - a point of concentration of the energy of its field. In the minds of many, cusps are the beginnings of fields, but these ideas are incorrect! The cusp is the place of maximum manifestation of the power of the House. In fact, the beginning of the field “floats” and can be within 2-3° in front of the cusp. So, if a planet in the 1st House is located in this limit near the cusp of the 2nd House, theoretically it can release its energy in areas of life related to the 2nd House.
The cusps are strictly tied to the cardinal directions, but since the Earth rotates around its axis and the Sun, their ecliptic coordinates (position in the Zodiac) are constantly changing. That is, the moment in time and geographical location determine the position of the House cusps in the horoscope. Therefore, Houses in the natal chart may not be in their parental zodiac signs, the earthly projection of which they are.
The counting of Houses in the natal chart begins with Ascendant (ASC)– cusp of the 1st House of the horoscope, the ascending degree of the ecliptic, always located in the East at the point of sunrise. The ascending zodiac sign in which the Ascendant is located at birth and the planets in the 1st House of the horoscope influence a person more significantly than his solar sign of birth. ASC is the most important point of the horoscope, determining the core of a person’s personality, his characteristic features. For example, with ASC in Taurus, a person is practical and reliable, guided in everything by considerations of usefulness and efficiency. The material side of life is very important to him. In appearance he has the features of a Taurus; usually of medium build, broad bones, strong neck, large nose, prominent forehead and brow ridges, dark hair.
Every 4 minutes, the ecliptic longitude ASC changes by 1°, and in one day all 360° pass through the Ascendant zodiac circle. That is, the ASC in the natal charts of two people born in the same place but with an interval of 4 minutes (“astrological twins”) will be in different degrees, which makes differences in their personalities and destinies.
In modern astrology, there are many ways to domify a horoscope (house systems). There are equiangular and unequal house systems.
In equiangular systems, each House is equal to 30°, and the division of the ecliptic into Houses can begin from different points: from 0° of the sign of Aries, ASC and the MC point - the cusp of the 10th House. Among equinomous systems in astrology, two systems have proven themselves well - this is the equiangular system, counting 30-degree sections of fields from ASC and the polar system of houses from MC (Zariel or Meridian system), often used by astrologers when working with horoscopes of people born in northern latitudes ( north of 60° N).
Often the choice of a particular house system is determined by the availability of special astrological tables and its popularity. Of the many unequal grids of horoscope houses, the most popular are: the Placidus (Placido) system and the Koch system. The Placidus system is used in astrological work by many astrologers, especially Western ones. The Koch system has proven its effectiveness in working with event formulas using the method of Shestopalov S.V.
Some astrologers believe that no system can be universal and therefore they work with two or three systems, choosing the most suitable one for each specific task. Perhaps this approach is the most correct and each of the existing house systems is designed to read only some part of the information field of existence. That is, one system of houses is more suitable for forecasting, the second for a karmic horoscope, the third is optimal for drawing up psychological portrait etc.
But astrologers don't consensus in relation to assigning the status of the greatest “truthfulness” to one of the house systems. This controversial issue remains open. Each astrological school has its own tradition and argumentation in favor of one or another system. But it is the astrological Houses that make it possible to create the most complete picture of the fate of a particular individual, and the accuracy of forecasting events depends on the correct choice of the system. And until the issue of unambiguous application of one or another house system is resolved in astrology, discrepancies will arise among “stargazers” of the same astrological data, which in turn reduces the number of supporters of astrology and increases the ranks of astroskeptics.

Houses in astrology (horoscope houses) are responsible for the event-based interpretation of the natal chart. The articles in this section will describe characteristics of astrological houses in traditional astrology.
If we consider the natal chart (horoscope) without taking into account the astrological houses, i.e. cosmogram, then we can only understand the psychological level of the individual. Houses and planets in houses show where, in what areas of life, a given person will have the most important and significant lessons and events. Those. the houses of the natal chart are various areas human life.
House systems.
There are many different house systems in astrology. House system of Koch and Placidus- these are the two main systems according to which most modern astrologers work. Which of these systems to choose, only you yourself, over time, will be able to answer this question for yourself - experimentally. For some, the Koch house system works better, for others, the Placidus system. I settled on the Koch house system. The famous astrologer Konstantin Daragan works according to the Placidus house system, and astrologer Stefan Arroyo recommends the Koch house system. In general, the choice is yours, try both systems, analyze.
Angular houses in astrology. House axes.
The most important houses in the horoscope are the angular houses - 1st house, 4th house, 7th house and 10th house. These astrological houses are independent of the chosen house system (Koch or Placidus), axis 1-7 houses and axis 4-10 houses in any of these systems will be built the same way.
Axis 1 - 7 houses in astrology, this is the axis of houses, which reflects the level of “I - You”. The 1st house reflects ourselves, and the 7th house reflects our personal and business partners, enemies, opponents.
Axis 4 – 10 houses in astrology, this is the axis of personal (4th house) and social environment (10th house), our house (4) is our career (10), our deep habits (4) are our most important achievements in life (10).
1, 7, 4 and 10 astrological houses of the natal chart reflect our main areas of life. Other houses of the horoscope are also important, but they are less significant. When angular houses are highlighted in the natal chart (there are a large number of planets in these houses), then many significant and bright events occur in a person’s life, life will be more eventful, especially for the 10th house of the horoscope.
Axis 2 – 8 houses in astrology reflects the material sphere - the 2nd house is personal income, talents with which we can earn a living, and the 8th house - general, collective finances, business, taxes, insurance, inheritance, etc. Although the 8th house has a deeper meaning, this will be discussed in a separate article dedicated to the 8th house. If between planets there are oppositions in the 2nd and 8th houses, then problems will arise in life in material sphere, with taxes, or due to inheritance. To clarify the causes of difficulties, you need to analyze which houses these planets rule.
Axis 3 – 9 houses in astrology determines the scope of learning, communication and broadening one’s horizons. 3rd house – initial training, courses, hobby groups, immediate surroundings, short trips. 9th house – higher education, travel, contact with different cultures, jurisprudence, spiritual development. Oppositions of planets from 3rd to 9th houses may cause difficulties in travel, learning and communication.
Axis 5 – 11 houses in astrology can be considered as personal and social development. 5th house - personal talents, what we experience joy from, hobbies, hobbies, sports, creativity, as well as children and romance novels. 11th house - here we develop in a team, among like-minded people, friends, and we cannot take into account only our own personal interests. Oppositions of planets from 5th to 11th houses natal chart can be interpreted as problems in social life because of friends, difficulties with raising children, obstacles to realizing talents.
Axis 6 – 12 houses in astrology responsible for work and rest, illness and health. The 6th house is everyday work, responsibilities, subordinate position, illness. 12th house - privacy own initiative(as rest, meditation, recuperation after illness), or forced loneliness. Oppositions between 6th and 12th houses one of the most unpleasant, it often indicates illness, health problems and forced isolation.
Oppositions between corner houses the most painful, because the two main areas are difficult to balance. Opposition between 1st and 7th astrological houses always gives problems in relationships, obstacles to marriage, frequent quarrels or disagreements with a personal partner. The opposition between the 1st and 7th houses forces a person to choose such partners in life with whom there will be a constant “pulling of the blanket.” In the article “” you can read in more detail about the tense 7th house and a description of other houses specifically in terms of relationships and marriage.
Oppositions between the 4th and 10th astrological houses also very unfavorable. It is difficult for a person to choose where to invest his energy - in his home (4th house) or in his career (10th house). This opposition can make you feel torn between work and family. And if a person chooses a career, then in old age he risks being left alone, and if he completely focuses on family and home, then his work suffers, and he risks not being fulfilled in his career.

Interpretation of horoscope houses and their meaning
The interpretation of the meanings of houses has something in common with the interpretation of the meanings of signs, but, at the same time, there are differences. If the signs are deep energy, then at home there is a more superficial, but also more noticeably manifested, eventful layer. Houses characterize the areas of life and our attitude towards them, how things are going in each area, what events will happen and when.
12 houses, in principle, cover our entire life, any events that may occur in it. Here is a brief interpretation of the astrological houses of the horoscope:
1 House— Personality, early childhood, physical body, appearance, home of our “I”.
2 House— What we own, our attitude towards property, finances and other material resources, the ability to earn money, use objects of the material world, deep values.
3 House— Direct connections and behavior in social environment, direct communication, brothers and sisters, neighbors, short trips, social learning, information perception, practical mind.
4 House- Ancestors, home, family roots, foundations, a place where a person feels safe, the home of a parent with whom a person has the closest connection, traditions, ancestral karma.
5 House— Creative self-expression, children, love relationships, artistic creativity.
6 House— Physical health, relationships with superiors, service, work, daily work.
7 House— Partnership, including marriage, society, open enemies, justice, legality, equal relationships, business connections, social work.
8 House- Other people's property and finances, inheritance, death, sex, rebirth, house of transformation and rebirth.
9 House— Philosophy, religion, law, world views, long travel, religious beliefs, higher education, sports, languages, writing skills, shared thinking that shapes global consciousness.
10 House- Career, profession, connections with the outside world, the home of a parent with whom a person is less closely connected, the purpose of life, political power.
11 House— Large groups and organizations, selfless relationships, acquaintance, friends, people of the same circle, hopes and desires, achieving goals, collective creativity, self-expression.
12 House— Secretiveness, mysticism, occultism, self-destruction, mental health, secret societies, degree of freedom, freedom, imprisonment (in hospitals, prisons, etc.).
"Point of Life"— The Ascendant or the vertex of the 1st house, from which all houses begin, determines the external manifestation of a person: his appearance, behavior, lifestyle. Whereas the zodiac sign in which the Sun falls at the moment of birth and by which we usually determine our belonging to one or another zodiac sign, shows our deeper, psychological nature. This is why people born under the same sign are so different. The position of the Ascendant strictly depends on the minutes, and even seconds of birth, as well as on the coordinates of the place in which it occurred.
The simplest calculations show that of the people currently living on the planet, approximately 400 million people belong to a certain Solar Sign. The number of people born on the same day among the living is approximately 20 thousand. Every seven hundred people were born at a certain minute, but if you consider that at that moment people were born in different parts of the planet, the claims of astrologers to assign each horoscope the status of a unique individuality become understandable. This statement is reflected in the picture of the Houses of the horoscope.
Having dealt with the correspondence of houses with zodiac signs, let's proceed to a more detailed examination of each house.
First house of horoscope - meaning
First house means your personality, briefly characterized by "I myself", the most important house. Here you can determine the main character traits, behavior, appearance, body structure, life attitudes. Events with active personal participation take place in this house, life-changing events, including those affecting changes in the physical body, changes in life attitudes. This is a very important and strongly manifested house. The Ascendant and planets in the first house are more pronounced than the sun sign; in any case, their influence is more noticeable from the outside.
If the vertex of the first house is V Aries, then the person is energetic and assertive, knows well what he wants, and shows independence. As a rule, they have an athletic build and are tall. Impulsive, impetuous.
Under Gemini at the top of the first house, a person is characterized by sociability, the desire to receive new information. As a rule, it makes it easier to learn foreign languages. A quick, quick glance. The skin is dark, easily tanned.
If the Ascendant hits in the sign of Virgo, then a person loves a common sense approach to everything. He is critical, first of all, of himself, and with intense aspects an inferiority complex may appear. This type of person loves to see concrete results of his hard work.
Thus, we see that the Ascendant manifests the qualities of the sign in relation to a person’s personality, his appearance, and life principles. The planet in the first house is very important, as is the location of the ruler and significator of the house.
The meaning of the Second House of the horoscope
Second house shows everything that a person owns, what he considers his own. Material living conditions, property (movable rather than immovable, which is more associated with the fourth house), money. It also shows the reserve of vitality, attitude towards material values, what kind of things he tries to surround himself with this person. Here you can also find out how a person spends his earned money. Events in the second house are mainly related to receiving money, spending it, earning money, and shopping.
If the vertex of the second house falls in the sign of Aquarius, then we can say that a person loves original things, new equipment. If the vertex of the house is in Taurus, we can talk about good prerequisites for wealth, love for luxury, beautiful things and jewelry.
The third house in the horoscope - the meaning of the house
Third house associated with a person’s immediate environment. These are equal or almost equal people, those with whom a person interacts in everyday life. This includes brothers, sisters, neighbors, co-workers (but not bosses or subordinates). It is also the house of information - newspapers, radio, television, books, conversations, gossip, everyday communication - all these are areas of influence of the third house. Events related to the listed people, short trips, obtaining information (receiving or writing letters, any correspondence are reflected here), business contacts, specific education as the acquisition of a sum of practical knowledge and skills take place in this house. Places associated with this house are shops, libraries, transport stops, schools, colleges.
Interpretation of the fourth house of the horoscope
Fourth house- "my roots." This is your own home, place of residence, family, place of rest, relationship with nature, small homeland, parents. This house also means completion, including natural death, as the end of a certain stage. It is also the basics, upbringing, support or base in life. Events in the fourth house: changes in the family, in the house, change of place of residence, completion of any activity.
At the cusp of the fourth house in Aries the family environment is impulsive, family life is uneven. Problems home life are resolved by parental initiative. It may very well turn out that family life is like a camping trip, without much comfort, and the person does not develop the need for special comfort, coziness, or stability. It may turn out that they move often, or it may turn out that the parents are military. Conflict situations in the home can lead to head injuries or headaches. It may turn out that the mother has an aggressive character, and this is passed on to the child, and the aggressiveness of the fourth house is very deep. Either it is not aggressiveness, but negativism, i.e. internal, deep-seated dissatisfaction and projection negative character for the future. This sensation, which a person can produce on others, is the most difficult for him to track in himself, since the 4th house is the deepest point of the horoscope.
When the cusp of the fourth house falls in the sign of Taurus, the situation in the house can be harmonious, it can be disharmonious, depending on the aspect of the ruler. And if it is harmonious or disharmonious, then there is a stable, stable atmosphere in the house. Depending on the aspect of the ruler, a person receives stable material support from parents or needs it, hopes for it, but does not receive it. It's hard to change anything in this house. And if the parental environment does not match your taste, then you need to make a tremendous effort to do something at home to your taste. Parents can leave a fortune accumulated over many years of life; it can consist of buildings, territories, savings and savings. In adulthood, a person has a need to organize his own home according to the principle of my home is my fortress, a place where he can hide, where he feels reliable, stable, stable. How well he succeeds, the planet in the house or the aspect of the ruler to the cusp will show you. It should be a strong, beautiful, durable house, where there will be supplies of food and valuables for a rainy day, and there will be concern about old age.
If the vertex of the fourth house in Gemini, then in the house there may be flexible, sensitive relationships, an atmosphere of mutual understanding between parents and children, ease in relationships, their intellectual nature, a large fortune is not obvious, there may be intellectual heredity (the manager will show what nature), frequent moves. Home life can be enlivened by numerous contacts, visits, and departures of relatives. The idea of sociability is present in the house, perhaps reading a lot, perhaps talking on the phone a lot. And most likely, all the neighbors are in the house.
In case of Cancer on the cusp of the fourth house, the family environment pays great attention to the family's past, traditions, and people from the family. The family preserves archives, letters, and documents. Family wealth is preserved and passed on from generation to generation. The condition can be quite serious, mainly on the mother’s side. It is extremely important for a person to create his own family, this is the goal of his life and can cause difficult feelings if the family does not work out. Then he tries to create a family at work or work in areas where the environment turns into a family one: all kinds of child care institutions, orphanages, hospitals, the catering industry.
Fourth house cusp position in the sign of Leo indicates that in family life there is a sense of hierarchy, there is a main, senior, chief of the family. Relationships with your own are open, pure, clear, independent. Paternal heredity may be present here. The condition is solid, perhaps it has luxury items, gold, and large valuables. This house is light, bright, they try to make it luxurious. In his own soul, man seeks brilliance and superiority. He is very careful and sensitive to his merits and how they are perceived. If he finds out that his actions are perceived unworthily, he is able to change them for the sake of self-love. After creating his own home, a person takes a patronizing or authoritarian attitude towards his parents, he becomes the boss of the family and dictates his own terms.
If the vertex of the 4th house falls in Virgo, then miscalculations, practical meaning, have a strong influence on family life. In his soul, a person keeps a large number of responsibilities and obligations; the inheritance, usually modest, consists of the fruits of the labor of family members, and is passed from hand to hand. Transfer of skills, some practical skills. The house is organized according to modest taste, with simplicity and satisfies the practical needs of man.
When we see Scales at the top of the fourth house, then here family life is full of charm and taste. This is an elegant house, designed in an aesthetic manner. There is harmony in the house and good mutual understanding among the members. The house should be fashionable, secular, elegant, light. A person has the same soft and harmonious soul; communication with him brings you to peace, to a state of silence. Family life is necessarily part of a person's emotional life. Social receptions, art, music, literary salons can be organized in the house, not for the sake of celebrities, as it could be in Leo, but for the sake of communication, for the love of art.
In case Scorpio, the family environment is rather tense, it is often filled with emotions, jealousy, passion, hatred, death - these are problems that are discussed in the house, this is a state that passes through the house and changes it. It may turn out that family mourning is painful. It may be that questions about financial status provoke conflicts, quarrels over inheritance, division of inheritance, and family separation over this issue. In this house there may be tendencies towards a secret life, there is a need to hide in one’s home and hide one’s soul, to hide. This house, purely physically, can be organized with some kind of secret doors, with additional exits, with hiding places. External tragic events can lead to the physical destruction of a home, events such as all kinds of natural disasters, and the death of relatives. Occult knowledge, interests, and secret methods of treatment can be just as deep in the house. This is the house of passion and the house of secrets.
When Sagittarius is at the top of the fourth house, then we can talk about spiritual, intellectual relationships in the family. The family, the laws of the family, are subject to the moral principles of its members. Issues of conscience and honesty are the root causes of all kinds of discussions in the family, family councils, conversations about ethics, behavior, family legends. Maybe there is a religious atmosphere in the house. From a distance, this relationship looks very independent, but that's only from afar. How are things really going? A careful study of Jupiter in relation to the cusp of the fourth house and the Moon is necessary. A person feels great attachment to his comforts at home, has his own forms of relaxation that are familiar to him, his own traditions. This family can completely, unlike Gemini, emigrate from home country. Geminis tend to move from their home, leave their parents and go to another world. And Sagittarius is more likely to move the whole place, all together.
If the moment of birth occurred on the cusp of the fourth house in Capricorn, then the atmosphere in the house is usually strict and dry. The house may be dark, poor lighting. Family connections and relationships can be quite strong and deep, but they are very far from demonstration, any demonstrativeness, they look dry and restrained, although feelings can be deep and lasting. There may be a single father, a widower. This family has a slow but steady growth of property consisting of lands and buildings. A person’s inner life lacks liveliness, lacks feelings and sensitivity, he experiences some isolation from the world, his emotional life undergoes deprivation and restrictions. The end of life can be chosen according to the place; at the end of life there can be a hermitage, a conscious restriction.
Finding the cusp in Aquarius gives family life organized in conditions of warm, fraternal understanding, in conditions equal relations. In the house there can be numerous friendly receptions, relationships of selflessness, sincerity, deep, basic human strengths. At the end of life, the intellectual atmosphere, but also the end of life may be subject to some sudden, unexpected event that will change the emotional life of a person or his home, the atmosphere in the family.
Finally, if the top in Pisces, then in this family the relationships are somehow elusive, very similar to Tarkovsky’s films, here is the reality of a dream: something happens, someone appears, it’s not necessarily who he is, some conversations are being held. Relationships may seem awkward or strange. Sometimes this is expressed in an atmosphere of sacrifice, when the whole family sacrifices for the sake of another person’s illness, or when parents demand a child’s sacrifice, or the child himself sacrifices his life in favor of his parents and caring for them. It could be a sick mother. In this home life there is an atmosphere of instability, unspoken conditions. There may also be some difficulties with an inheritance that floats away from a person, or arrives unclear how and from where, from the unknown. They say that it is dangerous to live with such a house close to water; it is at risk of accidents and floods. If it is not close to water, then in such a house there are leaks in the roof and ceilings, pipes break, cars break down - such a “fish” house. The danger is especially aggravated if the Moon or Neptune is in this house, or if the Moon and Neptune are afflicted in the chart.
Meaning of the Fifth House of the Horoscope
Fifth house is responsible for creativity. These are any free self-expression of a person. Games, theater, sports are for pleasure, not for the sake of a career or money. Excitement, hobbies and entertainment, leisure.

Events around the house - pleasures, love, birth of children.

Sixth house of the horoscope
Sixth house associated with daily work. Ability to work, application of acquired skills. Subordinates and servants are also related to the sixth house. Presence of pets and attitude towards them.
The sixth house is also associated with health. Based on the planets in the house and the sign at the top of the house, one can determine predispositions to diseases. For example, Gemini on the top of the sixth house can give rise to frequent colds, speech disorders, and generally indicate low respiratory system protection.
Events in the sixth house: work, receiving new position, dismissal, illness, treatment, recovery, relationships with subordinates, including servants.
Seventh house of the horoscope
Seventh house- "my partner." The house of relationships that are longer and more serious than those in the third or fifth houses. Various contracts, marriage and marriage partner are described by the seventh house.
In a horoscope, the seventh house also shows what type of partner a given person strives for.
If, for example, at the apex of the seventh house there is Aries You long for a partner who is energetic, physically active and proactive, and who can shake you up to balance your well-being.
If in your horoscope Fish fall on the top of the seventh house, you tend to show excessive care for your partner, accordingly you are attracted to partners whom you can help and support during crises. You are unlikely to be attracted to an active and proactive partner; rather, you are inclined to take on the role of leader in the relationship.

Another meaning of the eighth house is sexual relations, as well as a person’s personal sexuality. The first sexual experience is always somehow connected with the eighth house, like an irreversible crossing of the border between “before” and “after”.
Other people's property, money, insurance, taxes and loans are another facet of the eighth house. Events around the house: injuries, operations, death (your own or someone close to you), transactions with other people's money, receiving or losing money, sex, risk, criminal cases.
A reasonable question may arise here: how to distinguish between these events? How to determine whether a person will have an accident or have his first sexual experience? To do this, you need to look at the horoscope and current influences together, see what other houses and planets are involved, and what aspects are formed.
Ninth house of the horoscope
Ninth house- house of aspirations. Outlook, higher education, travel, worldview, ideology and religion are the spheres of the ninth house.

The Xth house will show what the means are to achieve this goal, in what area a person strives to succeed in life: social, intellectual or spiritual. From this point a person looks at himself from above, this is his place in the structure, this is the goal of personal embodiment, this is a way to integrate into social structure, this is his relationship to hierarchy. Here is spiritual teaching, here are the teachers whom a person chooses for himself and the area in which he wants to improve. Here is the administrative activity of a person, how he is adapted to it or not, here is the level of his professional success.

At this point you can find the God that man creates for himself, his idol. This is his social status and the profession that he chooses for himself as the goal of life.
The position of the planets in this house is very important, as is the position of the ruler of this house.
Success, fame, fame, social status determined by the tenth house.

Eleventh house of the horoscope
Eleventh house- "like-minded people." This house, first of all, describes a person’s friends, relationships with friends. It also describes a person’s attitude towards the future, his plans.
When Aries falls on top of this house, the person's friends are active. There is often rivalry between friends, which promotes mutual growth.

The nature of karma is determined by the position of the vertex of the twelfth house, as well as its ruler and significator.
Each house is a field of certain activity. The interpretation of houses changes depending on which planets are located in them. However, it is important to understand that if there is not a single planet in the house, this does not mean that nothing happens in it. Each house has a planet ruling the sign at the cusp of the house.
Houses correspond to circumstances, and signs indicate characteristic features of these circumstances. If we compare astrology with theater, we can say that planets are actors, signs are the roles they play, and houses are scenes or situations in which actors find themselves playing their roles. Mercury is always Mercury, but in Gemini it has one role, and in Libra it has another. When Mercury is in the third house the scene is different from when Mercury is in the sixth house. Houses never change their places.
Ascendant(or the vertex of the first house) is always located in the eastern part of the horizon, where the Sun is born every morning. A Descendant(or the cusp of the seventh house) is always located in the western part of the horizon, where the Sun sets each evening.
Zenith, which is designated as MS(vertex of the tenth house), is always in southern point horoscope. The opposite point IC(the vertex of the fourth house) is always at the very bottom of the horoscope or, what is the same, at the northern point of the horizon. The designation of the tenth house cusp (MC) comes from the Latin name medium coeli, which means midheaven. The designation for the top of the fourth house (1C) comes from the Latin name imam coeli, which means the lowest point of the sky.

Houses relative to houses
Houses in relation to each other form a system of houses. If we take, for example, the fifth house, which indicates, in particular, your children, then the ninth house, which is the fifth in relation to the fifth, indicates the children of your children, that is, your grandchildren. When defining a house relative to a house, the original scrap is considered first. Thus, when the fifth house is mistaken for the first, then the sixth becomes the second, the seventh becomes the third, the eighth becomes the fourth, and the ninth becomes the fifth. The fourth house, as the house of completion, indicates circumstances at the end of life's journey. Therefore, the eighth house indicates the circumstances at the end of your children's life path, since it is the fourth house in relation to the fifth - the house of your children. You can count: fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth. The second house indicates your money; it is the second house to the first house (representing you). Therefore, the eighth house indicates your partner's money, being second to the seventh house (your partner). These are just a few examples of how you can get more information about each home.Division of houses by elements

Dividing houses by quality
The twelve houses can be divided into three groups of four houses each, which correspond to cardinal, fixed and mutable properties. We designate them as corner, subsequent and falling.Corner houses(correspond to cardinal signs): first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses. These angles correspond to the east (Ascendant), west (Descendant), north (IC) and south (MC). These are the angles or axes of the horoscope. Planets in angular houses have a greater potential for active activity, the influence of these planets is enhanced. In other words, angular houses have cardinal qualities. Some authors call the position of planets in angular houses “accidental presence in their sign.”
Subsequent houses(correspond to fixed signs): second, fifth, eighth and eleventh houses. They are called subsequent because they follow the corner houses. They are not very strong, like fixed signs, they indicate stability and determination. These are also financial houses.
Falling houses(correspond to mutable signs): third, sixth, ninth and twelfth houses. These houses are not as active as corner houses and do not provide as much stability as subsequent houses. They signify the ability to adapt and get along well with others. They are usually spoken of as mental houses.
Horoscope axes
The horizontal axis of the horoscope is called the equator or horizon, and the vertical axis is called the meridian. Using them we divide the horoscope into two halves.The horizontal axis indicates consciousness, the vertical axis indicates power.
As shown in Figure 5, the equator divides the horoscope into day and night
part, since this line runs along the sunrise-sunset axis. Day planets- these are the planets located in the horoscope above the horizon, and the night planets are those located below the horizon.Thus, the daytime, or light half of the horoscope represents
manifestation and objectivity, and the night section, or dark half, represents the subjective and instincts. If you have many planets above the horizon, you are objective and want to comprehend more than you are destined to. If you have many planets under the horizon, especially if the Sun and Moon are among them, then you are a somewhat subjective person and prone to behind-the-scenes actions.As shown in Figure 6, the meridian divides the horoscope into eastern and western halves. This line runs from noon to midnight and divides the planets into ascending and setting (see Fig. 6). The ascending planets are in the eastern half of the horoscope and cover the time from midnight to noon. Setting planets are in the western half of the horoscope, covering the time from noon to midnight. If there are many ascending planets in the horoscope, this indicates a strong and free will, control over one’s own life. This is the epitome of sowing. If there are many setting planets in the horoscope, this indicates your flexibility and participation in the fate of other people. This is the embodiment of the harvest.
Holograms and superpositions in astrology at every step <:-P
WHAT ARE "HOROSCOPE HOUSES"?
In the narrow sense, the houses of the horoscope are understood as 12 sectors of the ecliptic, which constantly move along the course of the signs of the Zodiac, making a full revolution in 1 sidereal day. The division of the horoscope into houses is done to display the daily rotation of the celestial sphere at a specific geographical point. There are a large number of ways to divide a horoscope into houses; as a result, houses have different sizes in different systems and different locations in the Zodiac. The most sensitive and significant point of the house is the point of its beginning (the so-called cusp or top). The cusps of opposite houses (I – VII, II – VIII, etc.) form an exact opposition in almost all domification systems. Sometimes the concepts of “beginning of a house” and “cusp of a house” are distinguished (as in the “classical system of houses” or in the Indian equi-house system; more on this below). Usually, the Ascendant/ (which in the most popular systems of houses are the cusps of the 1st and 7th houses, respectively) and the Midheaven/ Imum Coeli (in the most popular systems these are the cusps of the 10th and 4th houses, respectively) are used as reference points.
In a broader sense, houses mean sectors of the celestial sphere that have special astrological significance, the location of which in the chosen coordinate system changes over time. Thus, the houses of the horoscope, understood in a broad sense, do not necessarily reflect the daily cycle (for example, systems of equal houses from the Sun, Moon and other planets), their number is not necessarily 12 (for example, in Octopos systems and Octoscope), they are not necessarily formed and analyzed in the ecliptic plane (in particular, they are used in horizontal SNK).
