Houses |
Over recent times there have been a huge number of different methods of house systems and divisions, probably a hundred or more calculated by various astrologers trying to achieve the ultimate one for all occasions. The method of house divisions usually fall into one of three categories,1) an ecliptical method, using the ecliptic itself, 2)a space system, using a conceptual theory of volume of the celestial sphere, or 3) a time system, using the basis of rotation. But whatever house system used, always the 12 Zodiac signs stay constant along with the twelve houses, representing the 12 zodiac signs and constellations that the ecliptic passes through.Each zodiac sign is represented by 30 degrees, but in reality the constellations are between 20 degrees and 48 degrees in length. It is wrong to think that the 30 degree Zodiac division is down to the constellations as the constellations are merely the backdrop for the movement of the Sun. The 30 degree division is down to the changing magnetics of the Sun itself and its faster rotating middle band. The twelve houses are not related to the magnetics of the movement of the Sun, but the magnetic alignment set into our being at the time of our first breath. I have not found these divisions to change, although its possible to overlay a relocation chart which has different house divisions on top of the natal chart. The real axes that are important are those at the start of houses 1, 4, 7 and 10. The magnetics of Earth is variable due to its shape, so there will never be the “perfect” house system for all parts of the world. The Earth is not a perfect sphere. Eventually an astrologer assigns a working house system to the client. In real terms astrologers fall into using favourite representatives of the three types of house division. The houses represent a different aspect of life, each covers a very specific area, so when planets transit a house astrologers can identify which area of life is going to be effected. The houses 1st House appearance(planets within 9 deg), brain, capacity for self development, carriage, disposition and manner, ego in action, head, health, how we meet life mental and emotional qualities, outlook on life, personal space and dominance over the environment, strength and physical condition, vitality, who we are, Yourself Your 5th child Mothers father ( 4th from the 10th)grandfather on mothers side.
