The Houses
The houses represent the context of our experience - areas of our life, situations we can be part of. Think of them as environments that emphasize particular behaviors and concerns, or as a set of twelve viewpoints from which we can observe and experience life. In a more personally active sense, the houses constitute the twelve basic patterns of our attention - what we attend to, what we perceive.Here are short descriptions of each of the houses. Notice that adjacent houses have similar or related concerns, while opposite houses (first-seventh, second-eighth, etc.) represent opposite environments. The description of a house is followed by a list of words and phrases associated with that house (and its corresponding sign, planet, and North Node).
