Fellow astro-travelers,

The houses can look VERY confusing to a person new to astrology. But if we keep in mind that the chart is simply a picture of the various stages of our life, it becomes easy to know and understand what the energies are of each house and what each house is about!

We come into existence of ourselves when we first become aware of our BEING (1rst house). With time we come into an awareness that we have a PHYSICAL body (2nd house). Over a little more time we become aware of being aware and discover that we are THINKING (3rd house). Eventually our awareness of our BEING, PHYSICAL, and THINKING come together into an awareness of being in a certain place, our HOME (4th house).

We develop and awareness of our HOME (4th house) over time and, as we become comfortable in our home we begin to test out our SELF-EXPRESSSION (5th house). However, we discover that it takes a lot of working and reworking through DAILY WORK (6th house) to perfect our self-expression. All of this work on HOME, SELF-EXPRESSION, and DAILY WORK is to prepare ourselves for RELATIONSHIPS (7th house).

After we understand who we are, we meet the outside world and make RELATIONSHIPS (7th house) in an effort to understand who these other people are around us. With time we meet special people who help develop and cause TRANSFORMATION (8th house) in us through our contact with them. Out of this transformation comes an EXPANSION of our world as we learn and grow our knowledge of others. Over time our RELATIONSHIPS, TRANSFORMATION, and EXPANSION develop and grow until we get a sense of our DUTY (10th house) to the world at large.

At this time we are adults, and know that we can not simply do what we want all the time, instead we have a DUTY (10th house) to others to take our self-awareness and ability to interact to help structure the world around us. Over time we meet other people who have similar duties and responsibilities who become our FRIENDS (11th house). These friends also have ideas of their own how we can restructure the world around us and so improve it. With repeated restructurings the barriers around us begin to collapse until we realize that nothing separates us from other people except our own self-created barriers. As we tear down those final barriers between us and others we discover SPIRITUALITY (12th house). But, while we are tearing down these barriers we are also destroying the rules and regulations of which we set our life. Over time, this destruction of the structures around us becomes a destruction of our bodies, and we die.

For the astrologers who do not believe in reincarnation the story stops there. But the astrologers who do believe in reincarnation point out that the chart is a circle, and the 12th house leads directly to the 1rst house (rebirth). So we are then reborn into the 1rst house, and the cycle starts again!

Keeping this birth to death cycle in the houses can help us in understanding the basic energies/focuses in each sign/planet/house combination! So when in doubt of the meaning of a sign, planet or house, think about where it works in the life cycle...and think about what would be the best way to describe that part of the life cycle...and that's what that sign/planet/house means.

No need to memorize complex rules...just think about how the cycle of life directly relates to the cycle of astrology!

Living the life,

Tim
