The Houses Part 2: Explanations Based On The Suns Path

Although the Houses are numbered counter-clockwise, I’m going to be explaining the house meanings in reverse order following the path of the Sun.

⚡️With the Sun ruling where and how we shine:

- Houses above the horizon represent how we shine in the world and in our conscious efforts.

- Houses below the Horizon represent how we ground ourselves in private when we are most comfortable.

⚡️ Each house has an opposing counterpart, working together for balance: 1/7 ; 2/8 ; 3/9 ; 4/10 ; 5/11 ; 6/12

(Keep in mind that these are very generic house meanings meant to help beginners understand how the houses work for each other! ☺️)
