The Core Aspects in Astrology

As mentioned, the horoscope houses are closer to the earth plane experience and refer to the more material or tangible experience. They represent experiences actualised through the material realm, showing us an arena of life where we will experience a particular urge and expression style. Each house represents something distinctive (see below).

To complete Astrology II: The Horoscope Natal Wheel – Birth Chart (Part Two), The Horoscope Houses Aspects, we visit the last two Houses, the Eleventh and Tenth House.

THE ELEVENTH HOUSE – FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES

Traditionally friendships (not those considered to be best friends) belong to this house. Friendships in the eleventh house relate to a kind of "karmic alliance," relationships that form to evolve both parties, based on past life issues together.

The eleventh house is the ruler of our hopes and wishes. Also, groups of people in general, especially those with a common bond or goal, are found in this house.

This is the house of ingenious ideas and new inventions. Therefore, other areas the eleventh house deals with are Science, technology, computers, airplanes - all things that represent either ideas ahead of humanity's times or progress. Hence, some of these new ideas upset long held traditional viewpoints, so this is the revolutionary house.

The eleventh house corresponds to Aquarius, and so any planets in this house function with some underlying flair of Aquarius.

Aligned to Saturn, in addition to other influences at play, usually minor (see the tenth house), the eleventh house also mainly represents bizarre circumstances, being or feeling different from the "norm" and rebelliousness, as well as related to unexpected events.

THE TWELFTH HOUSE – INNER-SELF AND SPIRITUALITY

The twelfth house denotes life areas that tend to place us away from the rest of society for reasons behind the scene or hidden from view. Astrologers often refer to this as the house of large public institutions (i.e., monasteries, hospitals, prisons, asylums etc.)

Hidden enemies are in the twelfth house as opposed to the open opposition in the seventh house.

Traditionally this is the house of suffering and self-undoing (inc. avoidance syndrome). Planets in this house may represent something that we either don't have a clear view of or don't want a clear view. Our edges of reality become blurred, allowing us to exist in the ideal scenario that we create on the mental plane. Or, in other cases, where there is a pattern or likelihood of using addictive substances or self-indulgent habits to escape unpleasant realities momentarily. However, we know we never eliminate the source of pain.

I like to refer to this as the house of "universal consciousness and enlightenment - the house of spiritual inspiration, cosmic realisation and illumination. Dissolved are Religious doctrine along with the boundaries that separate us from other dimensions. Intuitive channeling and extraordinary healing are higher potentials found in the twelfth house.

The twelfth house corresponds to Pisces, and so any planets in this house function with some underlying flair of Pisces

Linked to Jupiter, in addition to other qualities (usually minor), the twelve house also represents the influence of past lives, forgiveness, atonement and mysterious disappearances.

NOTE 

Before concluding our series of articles on the Houses, I feel it appropriate to point out that it is not uncommon to find in a Natal Wheel (Birth Chart) that any planets do not occupy a House at the time of birth (Empty House).

What Empty Houses Stand For

In simple terms, in Astrology, the lack of planets in a house indicates the subject area represented is not of concern. It is a region of relative contentment. Essentially, this area of our life does not require our full attention and, if all, in this lifetime.


Having touched upon the essential information required to gain a basic understanding of the Houses, this concludes Astrology Part II (Part Two).
