12 Houses of the Zodiac
In astrology, you may often hear the term “house.” Nope, it has nothing to do with a home. These houses represent specific spaces in the celestial world. More accurately, they are a series of 12 divisions of the plane of the elliptic. The 12 zodiac signs and planets move through all the houses during the course of a day. Each house has its own unique qualities, which is what affects the information in your daily horoscope!
Here’s a closer look at what each house represents:
- First House: One’s external personality or outward manner
- Second House: Money, fortune, aspirations for wealth
- Third House: Basic communication and mental processes
- Fourth House: Family, ancestry, connections to the past
- Fifth House: Risk-taking pleasures, affairs, self-indulgence
