You know your Sun sign. Maybe your Moon and rising, too. Then you open your full birth chart and discover that your personality has apparently been stored inside a geometrically complicated pie.
“The planets are the characters. The signs give them their personalities. The houses decide where the scene takes place.”
The circle is divided into twelve numbered sections. Some contain several planets. Some appear completely empty. Depending on the chart, the sections may be perfectly even or noticeably uneven. These are the twelve houses of the birth chart. Each house represents a different territory of life, from identity and money to relationships, work, creativity, community, and the unconscious. They reveal where the personality of the planet appears most clearly in your life.
