Michele’s Quick & Easy Guide to Astrology Houses

 

One of my goals  is to give everyone the best possible astro-forecasts I can and as all of you who watch my videos and visit the site know, I talk a lot about the houses and the planets in them at any particular time. If you are interested in learning astrology start with the planets and then move onto the houses. This can provide astonishing information and a great leaping off point.

Knowing what each house rules helps us to predict the effect of a planet ‘visiting’ that sector of your chart is likely to be. Some planets only stay for a few days or weeks, while others unpack their bags and move in for a long period. There are several articles on here that explore what each house rules but I’ve produced this handy quick guide to the houses so that you can get a basic idea and refer to it again and again when reading your forecasts. This is a somewhat traditional guide but a solid place to start.

The First House: You, your appearance. How others see you. How you interact with the world. This house is traditionally ruled by Mars.

The Second House: Your values, talents, skills and abilities. Money, possessions and moveable assets. Your self-worth. Your attitude towards money. This house can also rule your partner in conjunction with your 7th as our partner can be an asset to us – or not. Ruled by Venus.

The Third House: Your neighbourhood, siblings, school. Writing and communication, publishing, commerce, transport and how you get around. Ruled by Mercury.
