The Zodiac is divided in 12 sectors according to the hour and the birthplace, these are the "Houses". Each house or sector represents one of the facets of the studied subject life (there are 6 different house building systems : Antic, Antic equal, Placidus, Regiomontanus, Porphyre, Modern equal. The most used is the Placidus).

Thus the House I that contains the rising sign (the said "Ascendant", the sign that gets up to horizon of the place at the time of analyzed event) gives indications about the person, the personal defects and/or qualities so physical as psychological. It marks heredity in native Horoscope and the beginning of things in anniversary horoscope.

The House II concerns the obtained goods or received, the manner of which will do them or not to grow.  But also obtained intellectual, psychological etc.

The House III indicates the used means to communicate, the exchanges with the near entourage (brother, sister, cousins), the small movements, the practical intellect.

The House IV is representative of what concerns the living house, the family, in some cases it contains the picture of the father, or means the end of things. It represents also the conjugal cohabitation, the home. It still marks what is under the Earth, what is hidden, the harvests. In anniversary Horoscope, it marks the end, the ending of things.

The House V is synonymous of pleasures that one finds in life, it's concerned by the children, the games, the luck, public or hidden loves. It can concern artistic life, the creations, the hobbies, the joys (or pains if it is dissonant).

The House VI contains the secured events to daily life, to the work, to the subordinate people, to the small domesticated animals, it also can be significant of health, social constraints, daily work, hierarchy.

The House VII concerns the life with the others, the contracts, associations of any kind (wedding, financial contracts or moral), public life.

The House VIII is the one of the sexuality to the real and figured direction. If one must inherit of someone this is by this house that one will know it. The capitals, the loans are also concerned by this sector. It marks also the occultism (magic side) and the death or the renovation. In marriage cases, it marks the dot or the health of the wife or husband.

The House IX invites us to the distant trips, abroad, or in a not physical way towards the strange world. This house contains our intellectuals tastes or mystical. It is significant of studies and trips. It rules the Law, the long studies and the religious, philosophical, matters.

The House X where hits the good or the bad fate, it can contain the picture of the mother. Significant of honors or disgraces, disfavors, it contains our social life, the reputation that we will have, the attained that others can bring there.

The House XI is the one of the friends, helps that they can furnish us, the relief that can be obtained. It concerns also the projects, the ease or the difficulties we will have about it to take them to a successful conclusion or their continuation in the time.

The House XII at last, house of tests, of what is hidden, the retirements that one can be brought to do, the diseases that one can have to undergo. It interests particularly the esoterists, the occultists, those that work in closed places for that she can be benefit to them (jails, monastery, schools, hospitals).

This can seem a little bit heavy, but some does the meaning or rather the special domain of the house that is concerned easily is deducted by the analysis of points or masteries getting in relation sign, planets and houses.

Thus for example Uranus in house IX will concern rather the intellect, the inventions, Jupiter to the same place will indicate probably the legal activity (or religious), especially if the IX house or Jupiter are in Sagittarius etc.

The houses 1, 4, 7, 10 said ones "angular" contain the most significant elements of the horoscope those that traditionally mark the foundation of the personality and of fate.

This are: for the house 1, the Rising one "Ascendant" (the ego). For the house 4, the Bottom of the sky (the family aspect). For the house 7, the Descendant (the relationship). For the house 10, the Middle of the sky (the social aspect). All joint planets to one of these "points" (with an orb being able to go up to 15 degrees) provided that this be in the same signs) influences strongly the whole horoscope, it becomes "dominating" and takes the step on its sister planets.

Others Houses, said houses of the Moon are used in astrology, they are activated by the passage of Senele (the Moon) or the one of the master(s) of horoscope. Studied toward to the Middle Age era when the birth hour precision was quite doubtful, they are also very significant of the destiny even if they can seem a little obsolete today.

In fact, between the degrees, decans, signs, houses, lunar abodes, genius of the quinars and aspects of all sorts one obtains a number of properly astronomical combinations. This is the reason why each horoscope is "unique" and allows differentiation between two born individuals with some kilometers or some seconds difference.
