Each house is linked to a set of characteristics that begin with the self and extend outward into society and beyond. The planets were all in precise signs and houses when you were born. When an astrologer reads your chart, she combines the meanings of each planet, the house it’s in, and the sign it’s in to map the challenges and opportunities you’ll experience in this life.
When planets pass through a house, they illuminate that area of your chart and energize the attributes associated with that house. The houses are used by astrologers to determine which aspects of your life will come into focus and where you may best take action. Read about the sign linked with a house to learn more about it.
The “personal houses” are the first six houses, while the “interpersonal houses” are the last six buildings.

The first house marks the start of the zodiac and encompasses all “firsts”: first impressions, self-image, leadership, new ventures, fresh starts, and new beginnings. Your rising sign or ascendant is the sign on the cusp, or beginning edge, of this house. (Aries is the sign of the zodiac)

Siblings, neighbors, local travel, libraries, schools, teachers, and community concerns are all covered by the third house. (Gemini is the sign of the zodiac)
TH HOUSE:
Cancer dominates the fourth house, which is at the bottom of the zodiac wheel and hence rules the “base of all things.” Your home, privacy, basic security, your parents (especially your mother), children, your own mothering qualities, nurturing, and TLC are all included. (Cancer is in charge)

In astrology, what do the 12 houses represent?
The 12 houses, like the 12 zodiac signs, form the foundation for one’s existence in astrology. Because each house in the birth chart is divided into 12 equal pieces, they make a 360-degree angle when combined.
They are not, however, the same as the zodiac wheel. Each of these houses is connected by a distinct sign. Each one symbolizes a different aspect of your life.
st House-
The first house is also referred to as the ‘Lagna’ or ‘Ascendant.’ It’s known as the self-portrait house since it depicts you and your appearance. Physical personality refers to your physical appearance, temperament, nature, bodily structure, childhood, health, ego, and sense of self.
It has an impact on your life choices, as well as your perception of your own strengths and flaws. Along with your preferences, dislikes, and the image you want others to have of you based on your beliefs, attitudes, and viewpoints.
The head and face are the key features of the first dwelling. It encompasses the skin, the forehead, the hair, the brain, and so on. If your 1st house is weak, you may experience headaches, acne, scars, and other issues, according to Vedic astrology. This house is associated with the sign of Aries.
What do the 12th houses represent?
The unconscious is represented by the 12th House. The 12th House is the zodiac’s final and most liminal house, and it deals with karma, invisible foes, pain, reckoning, and, finally, evolution. Psychological phobias, forced and voluntary solitude, and subterranean desires all have a place here. My friends, that ain’t no sunny wheat field, but it’s no less fertile.
Modern pop’s gap-toothed, leather-loving mother Pluto, the planet of sexual exploration and metamorphosis, is in Madonna’s 12th House. This position denotes Madge’s ability to transform personal humiliation or pain into collective healing, which she has mastered for decades.
What is the nature of my Stellium?
When you map your natal chart, you can see the positions of all the planets in the sky at the time of your birth, not simply where the sun rises and sets.
“A stellium occurs when three or more planets are concentrated in a single zodiac sign or house in someone’s chart,” the twins explain. “Babies born in the summer of 2020 will have a stellium in Capricorn, because Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are all in Capricorn,” they explain. Having Mars, Mercury, and Saturn all in the fifth house is another example (which relates to romance, love, and creativity).
In some cases, people’s charts may have more than one stellium (i.e., three planets in Sag and three in the eighth house).
I’m not sure why I don’t have a 12th house.
Interpreting your horoscope is a difficult task. In addition to knowing your sun, moon, and rising signs, you must also know the 12 sectors that your chart is divided into, known as houses. Each of the planets moves through a different house in astrology, and each house influences a different aspect of your life. When I initially started learning astrology, it took me the longest to figure out the houses, and one of my major challenges was figuring out what empty houses meant in astrology.
Because there are 12 houses and only 10 planets, everyone will have at least one empty house, which isn’t a problem. Simply put, the empty house in question in your birth chart represents a part of your life that may or may not be as important to you as the houses containing planets. This house may take further steps to fully comprehend its significance in your horoscope (and, of course, in your life), but there is a quick and simple approach to do it.
When looking at a birth chart, many of the planets are generally found in the same house. Mercury and Venus can never be more than one sign apart from the sun, and Mercury and Venus can never be more than two signs apart from the sun. As a result, these two planets are more likely to be found in the same home as the sun, leaving more of the houses vacant. When a house in your birth chart is empty, you’ll just look to the ruler of that house to completely comprehend how its meanings manifest in your life.
What planets are in the 12th house in my horoscope?
According to Astrology, the 12th house is known as the House of the Unconscious.
The 12th house, ruled by the zodiac sign Pisces and the planet Neptune, typically incorporates one’s subconscious fears, secrets, and dreams.
Because of its enigmatic character, the 12th house might be regarded as a potentially harmful one, including aspects of oneself that one may wish to ignore or conceal.
Those with planet placements in the 12th house, according to Allure, are frequently very perceptive or have psychic talents.
What do my astrological houses mean?
Astrology is limitless. The astrological houses come into action when each of the 12 zodiac archetypes appears in different aspects of your life… but what do houses imply in astrology, anyway? If your horoscope has ever made cryptic assertions about “the houses,” you’ve undoubtedly scanned over it and felt a little befuddled. I, too, was initially perplexed as a clairvoyant astrologer with a lifelong fascination with the cosmos. But now I’m here to assist you.
The astrological houses identify the specific regions of your life to which your horoscope refers. Each house, for example, signifies something entirely different; they decide the many types of people, places, and life events you will face over your lifetime.
What does the Sun in the 12th House signify?
The first house in Vedic astrology is the first house, while the 12th house is the 12th house. In Vedic astrology, the first house denotes the beginning and birth, while the 12th house marks the conclusion of the lifetime. The 12th house represents solitude and liberation. It’s the detachment house. When the Sun is in the 12th house, the native is likely to be more thoughtful and have a strong connection to the higher planes of consciousness. He or she is likely to be spiritual in nature.
What are the rules of the 12th house?
This twelfth house governs all that is hidden, including potentially disastrous secrets. The twelfth house affects hidden activities, illegal work, unlawful conditions, and classified information, among other things. Furthermore, when one wants to learn about the kinds of secrets that exist in one’s life, both in ourselves and in the world around us, the house is a reliable location to look.
Planets in the twelfth house can sometimes help analysts and detectives with their investigations by bringing them nuggets of information. Malefic planets in the house can reveal a great deal about their essence and nature, and having malefic planets in the home can reveal a great deal about an individual’s secret opponents.
