Chapter 1
Houses
The settings of experience
Houses organise a chart around areas of life, from personal resources and daily work to partnership and public responsibility. They depend on birth time, location, and the chosen house system. This volume teaches you to read their subjects without borrowing the identity of a zodiac sign. You will compare common division methods, follow a house’s ruler, and practise interpretations that allow for different circumstances. The examples use modern Western themes while identifying important differences from traditional usage.
A house names a field of questions; the life lived within it remains larger than the chart.
