From self to shared world
The first six houses move from identity through personal resources, learning, home, creativity, and maintenance. The second six move through partnership, shared stakes, meaning, public life, networks, and retreat.
Avoid the sign-house shortcut
The first house is not inherently Aries, nor the second Taurus. Houses and signs are different symbolic systems that combine uniquely in an individual chart.
Use the ruler of the cusp
After noting planets in a house, find the sign on its cusp and the location of that sign’s ruling planet. This creates links across the chart.
