Learn in the following article what the astrological houses are, how they are divided, what they represent and what the planets that are located in each house symbolize.
What are astrological houses
The Zodiac is made up of 12 Houses, which represent different areas of life. When a certain planet is located in a House, you have a great source of information there to learn more about yourself, since it is the area where it will manifest its energy.
The ecliptic is divided into twelve sectors, each one corresponding to a house and is made with respect to a specific point on the earth and a specific moment. If there is a variation in the time of birth, the natal charts are different.
Within the interpretation of the symbolism of the houses, it is considered that the planets act with more power when they are at the beginning of the house they occupy. If the planets are within a few degrees of the end of a house, it is considered to belong to the next.
The division of the 12 houses in the birth chart is known as domination. Although there are various techniques for its division, the most used is the Placidus Taming.
The houses are studied through two main axes: a horizontal one that runs from house I (Ascending) to house VII (Descending) and the axis from house IV (Background of the sky) to house X (Middle of the sky. With these two axes the division is made to obtain the other houses.
