Astrology Basics: 12 Houses + Mood Boards

This is the third and last part of the Basics of Astrology series.

In this part, we cover the houses in Astrology. Houses are the home of the 12 zodiac signs and each of the houses is ruled by a planet.

The different houses represent all the areas that life is made of. They show us where we experience the energies of the different signs we have in our chart (sun sign, moon sign, Venus sign,…).

Again I created mood boards for each house to visualize the characteristics. 

Here you can check out the first part, where we cover the 12 zodiac signs and their characteristics. The second part is about the ruling planets in Astrology. 

You can calculate your birth chart here.
