Astrological Houses are energy fields with a vibrational pattern drawn on a natal chart or birth chart.

If the signs comprise a space of 30 degrees on the external axis, the astrological houses can have different spaces (degrees) between them. Still, as we are talking about a mandala, both the sign axis and the house axis add up to 360 degrees.

Each astrological house represents important matters or themes in our lives. We can interpret each house as an “astrological stage” or the place where an action takes place.

Understanding the main themes of each astrological house and knowing the sign that “owns” the house, we can know how we deal with each subject in our lives.
