What do the 12 houses in your birth chart mean?

The 12 houses of the zodiac follow the star constellation pathway that the sun travels through over the course of a year — starting with Aries ending with Pisces.

To better understand the effect that these star constellations have upon us, we assign personality traits to them — like Capricorn being hardworking.

Each zodiac sign has a ruling planet that has a distinct energy. The energy of this planet will influence how the zodiac sign will behave.

ruling planet + a zodiac sign = a house

The foundations of the 12 houses on a birth chart are the same for everyone, but the planets are in different rotational cycles during the time of a person’s birth. Allowing for a different influence of energies to take place.

The fourth house is called, The House of Home. The Moon represents feelings and intuition. Cancer is all about emotions and nurture.
