Quick Astrology 2021: What Does The Sixth House In Your Birth Chart Mean?
What do the 12 houses in your birth chart mean?
Our lives here on Earth are heavily influenced by the planets and zodiac star constellations during our time of birth.
The 12 houses are created from the sun’s journey around the 12 zodiac star constellations — Aries being the first house, Pisces being the twelfth house.
Each planet holds its own distinctive energy — like Venus being associated with love.
Each zodiac star constellation is described through personality traits — like Sagittarius being adventurous.
Each of the 12 zodiac signs are ruled by a planet. When you energetically combine a zodiac sign and its ruling planet you get a “house.”
Formula: ruling planet + a zodiac sign = a house
The ruling planet is the overall energy of a house and the zodiac sign is how that energy will be expressed.
The foundation for the 12 houses on a birth chart are the same for everyone, but the actual planets are in different rotational cycles during the time of a person’s birth. Allowing for an individual to be influenced by different energies.
