Sister House Axis

Sister houses in astrology have corresponding ideas that work in balance to each other.

• The first house is who I am, the seventh house is who I enjoy.
• The second house is all my things, the eighth house is all my thoughts.
• The third house is my study notes and texts, the ninth house is my essay and my scrapbook.
• The fourth house is what I bring to the family, the tenth house is what I bring to the world.
• The fifth house is what I bring to myself, the eleventh house is what I bring to my communities.
• The sixth house is my health and how I serve society, the twelfth house is my worries and how I withdraw from it.

Cheat Sheet: Easy Placements

When you first learn about a placement, the obvious thing to do is look for descriptions, however these can be extremely unhelpful. Why? No description will ever fully encapsulate a placement. It will focus on one idea of it, or go straight to possible conclusions without explaining why those could be true.

Instead, I prefer to take the ‘anti-description’ route. When I start learning, I look to each part of the placement for its ingredients and build them together myself. In this way, you can see all the possible conclusions a placement may take.

With this in mind, I’ve compiled a cheat sheet of possible ingredients of each aggregate: signs, modalities, elements, planets, houses, and aspects!

Attraction In Astrology: Exoteric And Esoteric Attraction Calculations

After receiving a lot of interest in my method of taking three signs and working out which sign they best embody and attract as a whole, I decided to put the workings into a post. But first, we have to understand where we may look within the houses for attraction.

In western astrology, each house shows us a different part of life. The houses in question in this post are:

The First House: This is the house of the self, the ego, and the confidence. It is what we project onto the world and how we navigate it.
The Fifth House: Representing our self expression and talents amongst other things, this is what people may view in us as positive and something to admire.
The Seventh House: This is the traditional house of relationships and our ways with one another. It shows how we are with our relationships.
The Eighth House: The house of shared resources, but also of deeper hidden investigation. It can have links to obsession due to it being Pluto’s home.
The Tenth House: In this case, we are talking about its links to public image. It can show us what people will immediately see of our persona.
The Eleventh House: Communities, groups and society are represented here. This house can show us how we navigate friend groups and communities.

These houses can show us what kind of signs or elements we tend to attract in our lives. For example, someone with Aries Rising (First House) and Leo Fifth House will definitely attract a lot of fire placements. If someone has a Cancer Midheaven (Tenth House) and Leo Eleventh House, whilst they may attract these two signs and elements, it may be not as simple to work out which specific other signs will be attracted. That’s where planetary rulers come in.
