Animals Are On The Planet With Us, Not For Us. We Need To Remember This.

Misunderstood Houses

I’ve been thinking about the houses lately, and I think we tend to get a little stuck in buzzwords and as a result, we can struggle with the concepts. Here are some of my concepts of the houses I think this happens with the most.

6th house: To me, this is the house of healing. Buzzwords often thrown around for this house include: service, daily work, habits, health, pets, organization. I think the common thread here is what heals or is healthy to you, and how you seek to heal others. What you do every day has the biggest impact on your health, and so it lives in the 6th house. Acts of service heal others, and so they live in the 6th house. Transits through the 6th house may affect your health, but they may also affect the healing energy you bring to others, or simply an aspect of the systems that keep you healthy.

8th house: This is the house of transformations, the house of things that break you and remake you.This is a house we don’t like to show others, because it contains the parts of our lives that are direct lines to our souls. This house is often said to rule over money, sex, death, secrets, addiction, etc. These are the things that have the ability to crush us, or turn us into completely different people. “Occult” things are often placed in this house as well, but I think a more accurate word would be “faith” or “religion” because these have the ability to penetrate to our souls. Placements and transits through the 8th house don’t necessarily mean we will be transformed, but that the things that have the ability to transform us will be affected. 

10th house: This house is often associated with careers, and that’s not exactly wrong, but I think its fundamental concept is a bit broader. This is the house of your life’s work. What are your ambitions? What will you seek recognition in? What do you want to accomplish in your life? Your inclinations are shown here. It’s true that the concept of life’s work often aligns with someone’s career, but astrology predates capitalism and you don’t have to make a living off it for it to be your life’s work.

Speak it into existence and trust the process

Venus rules over aesthetic sense and these include matters like song & melody, beauty and anything to do with the arts… signs affiliated with Venus can posses artistic gifts; Taurus, Libra and Pisces (exalt) have the vision of Venus and thus an “eye for beauty.” They are very in-tune with music, fashion, art and dance. They may enjoy and appreciate things like participating in art museums, fashion displays, orchestras, music studios, or stage productions of plays

Neptune and moon are fantasy dreams and mystical imagination, Cancer and Pisces are drawn to things like film, photography, illustration, painting, captivating performances and magical writing themes where these mediums become outlets to their vivid concepts

The sun and Leo have ascendancy over the broad idea of creativity as a whole, through self expression, Leo is the Performer and can flourish in any kind of performing arts such as music, dancing, acting and singing. Any planet in the 5th house (ruled by Leo/sun) can show different ways one expresses themselves, this is the house of creative self-expression through what you, the maker, brings to existence

Creations in the 5th house are not limited to artistic perception, for instance mercury in the 5th could make for someone with writing as a personal interest pertaining to the sign it is found in. e.g mercury in Leo in the 5th could like theatrical script writing perhaps, or mercury in Scorpio in the 5th could like dark, mysterious and soulful writing content perhaps in the form of poetry. Expressions are flexible and vary per combination..

When these expressive planets aspect each other the creative essence is powerful and enthralling, like moon contacting Neptune becomes the magician alchemist where their dreams are solidified and brought to life, or Venus contacting sun causes the identity to revolve around such matters and the solar flares flow through Venusian mist, creating heavenly works and spectacular images directly from the spirit
