Reference Guide: The Houses

Updated: Jan 23, 2023

This reference chart is a quick visual to help you remember what areas of life each of the astrological houses are associated with.





Tips:
  • Remember: the houses in your chart or in someone else's chart very likely are NOT ruled by the traditional ruler as listed below.

  • Check out our guide to Who Rules The House? for more information on how to locate the house rulers in a chart, how to interpret multiple signs in a house, and what it means if you have signs that don't rule a house.

  • The cusp lines of the houses make up the angles of the chart. Our guide on The Four Major Angles is a great reference to help you learn and remember the ascendant, descendant, IC, and MC.
