Astrological Houses

The Astrological Houses are the twelve divisions of the natal chart that represent areas of life: identity, resources, communication, home, creativity, daily work, partnership, crises, travel and beliefs, career, friends and what is hidden. While the signs describe how a planet acts, the houses show where it acts. They are calculated from the time and place of birth, and there are several systems for drawing them, such as Placidus, Koch or whole sign, which can produce different cusps for the same chart.
