So just like French is no better than Italian, I donвЂ™t believe one house system is any better than another. I believe that different house systems act as different languages and the universe speaks an elastic and flexible language to us. My preferred house system is Porphyry and this is purely because I have personally found a deep resonance with what is reflected back to me through my exploration of Astrology. There are different systems of Astrology that use different house systems. What does vary between Astrologers and comes under deliberation is the house system that determines the other angles in the chart. These Houses are a reference, a way of downloading the sky to the ground the meeting points for these two worlds. These four points are coherent translations of the relationship between the earthвЂ™s rotation and the stars. Where the ecliptic meets the meridian at the highest point above the horizon at your time of birth, symbols the start of the tenth house aka the MC or Midheaven.Д®xactly opposite the Midheaven at the point in space where the ecliptic crosses the meridian marks the beginning of the fourth house aka the IC or the Imum Coeli. Opposite to this point, directly to the West, marks the start of the seventh house aka the Descendent. Where this path meets the Eastern horizon at the time of birth marks the start of our first house aka, the Ascendant or Rising sign. The Houses make reference to the ecliptic the path of the sun. 'Houses are one of the ways we translate Astronomy into the language of AstrologyвЂ¦ Houses are a reference, a way of downloading the sky to the ground the meeting points for these two worlds.' In Astrological language these four point are referred to as the вЂњAngular housesвЂќ the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth House. The houses are based on the geographic place of birth, the bases being four points that have immediate astronomical properties. IвЂ™m going to get a little technical here before I break down the symbolism of each house, as I find it helps ground this theory a more tangibly. There are twelve houses and they are consistent in their order and progression. Once you have an understanding of the signification of each house you can apply that to all charts.

The houses set the framework for every astrological birth chart. The Astrological houses are one of the building blocks when it comes to chart interpretations.
