What’s Next?

Let’s go on a house tour!

Astrology becomes truly enjoyable once we grasp both the signs and houses. Understanding the “how” (sign) and the “where” (house) allows us to create coherent and meaningful narratives about ourselves.

For example: We know that Aries will be fiery, bold, and assertive. But which slice of your pie is ruled by Aries? Which house does it line up with on your birth chart? Are you fiery, bold, and assertive regarding your money (second house), your family (fourth house), your career (tenth house), or somewhere else?

Stay tuned for Part 3 as we dive into THE HOUSES!
