The Importance And Meaning Of The Astrological Houses
The zodiac wheel is a circle (symbolizing no beginning and no end) divided into twelve segments called houses that represent different areas of life.
Every house provides a home for the planets residing there – giving that planet a place to act out its particular energy.
The horizontal line that connects the 1st and 7 house cusp (the cusp is the beginning of the house, marked by a new line) represents Earth’s horizon.
The 1st house cusp is the eastern-most point and the 7th is the western-most point. Planets near the 1st house cusp are called “rising” because they are coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment of birth.
® The 1st house affects the appearance and the personality, as it is perceived by the outside world. The rising sign is the degree and sign that marks the cusp of the 1st house and coincides with the first independent breath we take. This is why exact birth time is so critical in casting a natal chart – the chart’s very structure depends on the time and location of birth.
· The Ascendant and 1st house symbolize the process of beginning and initiation. Once you grasp this concept, you “get” what the 1st house is all about in a birth chart. Planets here will be easily available to the world and we will use great energy in the expression of those planets.
® The 2nd house is the house of values and possessions. It determines one’s level of self-esteem and also indicates personal talents and abilities. Our relationship to money and possessions as well as our attitude towards them can be understood from studying this house. Lastly, this house represents what we hope to gain in life – what we desire.
® The 3rd house has to do with siblings, neighbors, youth, early school experiences and relationships with those who live nearby. Perhaps the most significant meaning of this house is communication – it tells us about every aspect of communication and all mental endeavors. This is also the house having to do with short distance travel. Keywords to this house include growth and exploration.
® The 4th house rules home, family, roots and the end of all matters. Ancestors, heritage and parents – particularly the nurturing parent, usually mother, are represented by this house. It is called the house of the soul and the sign on the cusp of this house as well as any planets here can help us understand the qualities and elements of ourselves we keep guarded.
® The 5th house is the house of romance, sex, conception, children, creativity, self-expression and risks. Most importantly, this house is all about self-fulfillment – doing as one pleases. It is the house of the inner child as well as your own childhood.
® The 6th house is all about work and service, our daily routine, jobs, and health. The keyword to this house is “duty”. Our level of dedication to maintaining details that result in knowledge and wisdom is expressed through this house. It symbolizes the mind-body connection and as a result, health matters can be understood from this house as well.
® The 7th house (or Descendant) is the house opposite the 1st house of self and identity, and thus it is concerned with the awareness of others. The sign placed on the 7th house cusp describes how we approach a relationship and also indicates what we are attracted to in a partner. Indeed the 7th house is the house of marriage, partnerships, and open enemies. Through these significant relationships the lession of being aware of others is learned.
® The 8th house is the house opposite the 2nd house of possessions and concern for what is “mine”, what “I value” and “my abilities”. Thus the 8th house is concerned not with what “I” have, but what “you” have, what “you” value and other people's talents and abilities. The 8th house will tell you about the financial status of your marriage partner, since it
is the 2nd house from the 7th. It will tell you about any investment you have concerning other people’s money such as stocks, venture capital, taxes and inheritance. It is called the house of “sex, death and regeneration” because this house forces us to explore our most intimate and hidden depths by sharing ourselves with others.
® The 9th house is the house of long distance travel, higher education, philosophy, religion and politics. Opposite the 3rd house of accumulating knowledge, this house teaches us how we can share this knowledge gained through the 3rd with the world. This house asks the deep questions and helps us find the meaning and purpose in life. The 3rd house is where the journalist gets the information, but the 9th house is where he publishes it.
® The 10th house (or Midheaven) is the most elevated point in the chart. This explains why the 10th house is concerned with career, status, honors and recognition. It is also traditionally associated with our authority parent – most likely the father. The 10th house shows your reputation – the public image you present to the world. The very nature of our contribution to society is shown through the 10th house and it is one of the places you can look to determine your true calling.
® The 11th house is the house of friendships, hopes, wishes, and dreams. It talks about the relationship we have with the community and
humanitarian issues. It is the most social of houses, indicating our involvement with groups, clubs and organizations. In the 11th house we find that dreams come true only when we consider society’s needs as well as our own.
® The 12th house is the most hidden house of the zodiac. It is where we seek to transcend the humanness of ourselves but at the same time where we fear to do so because of the uncertainty as to what we will find. Nevertheless, the ego is lost in the 12th house whether we like it or not in order to delve deep into our most unconscious issues and perhaps even take a peek at the collective unconscious. Once we get past the fear of losing the self, we find a treasure in the 12th house that teaches us our great potential for compassion and universal love. The 12th house is obscure, giving it the reputation of being the “house of self-undoing” and is also assigned to hidden institutions such as prisons or mental facilities.

Best Relaxation Massage For Each Sign
Every sign of the zodiac is associated with a different body part, which means that this part of the body is the most sensitive for them.
Naturally, each one of the twelve zodiac signs also has their own favorite massage type, aimed at relaxing their specific sensitive areas. These are:
Aries
Those born under the sign of Aries tend to accumulate more stress around the head due to the fact that their heads are always full of ideas.
Therefore, when it comes to massage, nothing beats a relaxing head and scalp massage for Aries. Head massage with a focus on the forehead will be the most satisfying and therapeutic massage for Aries.
Taurus
Taurus is a sign that rules physical pleasure, so Taureans love indulging in a relaxing massage, especially after a long day at work.
When Taurus is stressed, all the tension goes to their neck area which makes them feel sore and stiff.
So, these people could really benefit the most from a deep neck and face massage. Aromatherapy is also recommended in this case.
Gemini
Gemini is a sign that rules the hands, arms, and shoulders. Those born under the sign of Gemini can release a lot of tension and improve blood flow by having a gentle hand or shoulder massage.
Also, Gemini tends to have a sensitive nervous system, so a whole body massage once in a while can really help to calm their nerves.
Cancer
Sensitive Cancer is associated with the digestive system, so they’re extremely receptive to touch around the chest and stomach area. A gentle lymphatic massage that will remove all the buildup toxins and stress and get their juices flowing can be an extremely relaxing – and healing – experience for the Cancer.
Leo
People born under the sign of Leo like to be touched on their back. Leos hold a lot of stress and tension around their upper back area, so they won’t say no to a deep shoulder and back massage that will release their tension. Moreover, they love to have their back rubbed and their hair played with.
Virgo
Virgo is a focused and hardworking sign that concentrates so much on their work responsibilities that their nerves and temper begin to crumble.
And that feeling of nervousness can lead to digestive problems, stomach acid, and headaches. Virgos love a good full body massage, with a special focus on their middle back area.
Libra
Even though Libras enjoy good health when their feelings are balanced, they usually tend to gather tension around their lower back. This means that a deep tissue massage in the lower back area can do wonders for them.
Pleasure-loving Libras could also benefit from a relaxing head massage because Aries rules the head and it is the opposite sign of Libra.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a sign that rules the sex organs, which means that their genital region is very sensitive to touch.
Deep and passionate, they love massages on their hips and lower back.
However, since they’re very intense with deep emotions, they could really benefit from a massage of their emotional center – the solar plexus.
Sagittarius
Sagittarians rule the hips, thighs, and buttocks, so they tend to have a lot of tension in these areas. Their hips and thighs are very responsive to touch, so Sagittarians will enjoy long and soothing buttock and thigh massages.
Capricorn
Capricorn is one of the most ambitious and determined zodiac signs out there. These people want to succeed at everything and reach their goals, and the rocky climb can take its toll on their legs and knees.
For this reason, Capricorns will benefit from a basic leg massage that will relieve stress and tension in their joints and muscles.
Aquarius
Aquarius rules the ankles and calves, which means that these areas are extremely sensitive to massage.
However, Aquarius people also have a very sensitive nervous system, so they could benefit from a hot stone massage which can help release pain and stress, decrease muscle spasms, and improve sleep.
Pisces
No one loves a good foot massage more than Pisces. This sign rules the feet, so a simple reflexology massage will be very calming for sensitive Pisces.
Since this sign also rules the lymphatic system, a lymphatic massage will help remove the toxins and wastes from their body and provide an overall soothing experience.
