The houses

Houses are the places in your chart where the planets are located. Each is an area of your life, and can help explain things about yourself you may not fully understand. The wheel of houses begins at your Ascendant — the first house's door — and the deeper rooms follow counterclockwise, just as they do on your own chart.
