Astrological Houses

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland explains what the astrological houses actually are, and why are unique to each individual and how they express the egol.  Venus & Vesta was inspired by a meme showing all the houses with their respective platforms and has aligned each astrological house with a media platform like Tinder or Twitter.  If you don’t know what the houses are, this is an easy lesson, and if you do, it works as a fun idea to explain the houses. KEY TAKEAWAYS the houses and their platforms are: 1) Aries. Ego. Instagram. 2) Taurus. Resources. PayPal. 3) Gemini. Connections. Uber. 4) Cancer. Family. Facebook. 5) Leo. Fun. TikTok. 6) Virgo. Health. WebMD. 7) Libra. Relationships. Tinder. 8) Scorpio. Income. Robin Hood. 9) Sagittarius. Wisdom. Wikipedia. 10) Capricorn. Achievements. Linked In. 11) Aquarius. Social. Twitter. 12) Pisces. Hidden. 4Chan The first house is the sign rising in the Eastern horizon and the most important astrologically speaking. This is why astrologers need your birth time to see what sign of the zodiac was positioned around you at the time of your birth. All the signs and planets below the horizon represent inner and more personal life aspects, whilst the houses, signs and planets above the horizon are the outward expression and development beyond your personal world. Everyone knows their Sun sign, because it’s obvious from their birth date. But the other two factors you have to consider are the Moon sign – which changes every two and a half days – and also the rising sign which is really important because it’s the first house that’s rising in the East. It’s how you meet the world, how you confront things, how you relate to people. The houses below the horizon line are the ones to do with your inward, personal processes and the ones above are more about your blossoming and how you go out into the world and how you interact in day-to-day life. As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul. We are all one and if we are made of stardust, this is how the stardust expresses ourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘The houses are how we express ourselves individually and are created by the world’s turning like a clock.’ ‘I was born in London, but if I was born in New York or Jakarta, the houses would be slightly different because my connection to the Sun would be slightly different.’ ‘The signs move back around every 24 hours as the Earth is turning. That is our connection to the Earth and how we will express ourselves on Earth and is our connection to our Earthly body.’ ‘Rather than using a whole house chart, like the ones used in the newspaper astrology sections, when you’re reading individual charts I think it’s more complicated but more interesting and sophisticated to use a Placidus system.’ ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
