Astrological Houses

Astrological Houses show activities through which zodiac signs manifest themselves. Zodiac signs imbibe houses with certain qualities, depending on what the signs stand for.

Planets energize houses and show additional important information about how that particular area of one’s life will play out. They are active influences within a house and stand for many things, depending on what planet it is, and where it’s located.
