The 12th house is ruled by the most esoteric of all the signs: Pisces. Pisces is signified by two fish swimming away from each other, representing its division between reality and fantasy. They have an almost psychic level of empathy and are very sensitive to the emotions of others.
The first house is the one that defines you. It represents your body, your appearance, and your general temperament. The planet or planets that were located within the first house at the moment of your birth will have a big impact on your life.
The third house governs communication, transportation, and local community. It encourages us to express ourselves and develop our bonds with others. It is the basis of all relationships and an area of your chart that’s definitely worth nurturing.
The 12th house is considered to be the “unseen realm,” everything that exists below consciousness. It represents all the things that exist without a physical form, such as emotions, dreams, and secrets.
The ninth house is associated with philosophy, travel, and higher education. It pushes us to experience all kinds of exploration, both intellectual and other. Those born with planets in the ninth house tend to be curious and inquisitive.
The 10th house is positioned at the top of the chart in the most public location. It governs public image, ambition, and career goals. It is also considered to be the house of popularity.
The second house is associated with our material possessions, finances, and the concept of value in our lives. It deals with money, but also much less tangible elements of our physical surroundings. It can extend to how our environment stimulates our senses in terms of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
The seventh house is the first of the ‘interpersonal’ houses. It governs the most significant partnerships in our lives. While things like love and family relationships have already been explored in the first six, the seventh is the first house to consider the perspective of others. It’s about creating bonds with others and making them work.
If you've never known the significance of the houses in astrology, then hopefully now you know! Whether you're deeply spiritual or a skeptic, exploring the zodiac is an excellent medium for self-reflection and improvement.
