A brief introduction to the meaning of the twelve houses
In astrology, the twelve houses represent different areas of life—from identity and relationships to career, home, and inner psychological processes. While the twelve signs of the zodiac describe characteristic styles or qualities of energy (such as the boldness of Aries or the sensitivity of Pisces), the houses tell us where in life these energies are likely to play out. In other words, the signs describe how something is expressed; the houses reveal where that expression is most likely to occur.
