The 12
Astrological Houses
The houses represent the twelve areas of experience in our lives. They are the stages where planets act and signs express themselves.
The zodiac is divided into 12 houses that depend on the time and place of birth. Unlike signs (which are determined by the Sun's position), the houses require your exact birth time to be calculated with precision. Each house is ruled by a sign and a planet that colour its expression.
