House Systems
and let the long tradition of astrology speak through us.
It is more fun to read what is there than to try and make
astrology speak according to our own personal biases.
The Meaning of the Twelve Houses
Each of the twelve houses has a different meaning, and
each describes or points out a different area of our
experience. Once we learn something about what each
of these areas of experience mean, we can begin
reading astrological sentences like the one given above,
"Sun in Cancer in the Eighth House." And, best of all,
the wheel of the twelve houses is, itself, a unified, whole
cycle (as are the zodiac signs, the phases of the Moon,
etc.), so that each house in the cycle is a phase, one
leading to the next; therefore, when you learn about
cycles and cycles' phases, you are automatically
learning about the houses.
