12 House System Explained
The birth chart is a circle—but the 12 houses are what give it life. They divide the sky into meaningful realms, each one holding a different piece of your human experience. Think of them as twelve chapters in a story that begins with you… and unfolds into the world around you.
As an astrologer, the house system is where symbolism becomes reality.
