Like the zodiac, the earth's surface is divided into 12 parts. Each of these parts, called houses, represents certain areas of a person’s life and is supposed to influence it. The first house, for example, is associated with an individual’s appearance and personality. Other houses affect a person’s marriage, health, career, and death or some other interest. Astrologers believe the houses determine how the planets and the signs influence a person’s daily life.
In astrology, the moon and the sun are considered planets, along with Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, and Venus. Each planet is supposed to represent a basic human drive that affects people in a certain way. Astrologers believe the planets have an important influence on signs. A particular planet rules each sign and has certain characteristics that affect the sign it rules. For example, Mercury, which is associated with talkativeness and wittiness, rules Gemini. Therefore, people born under the sign of Gemini are supposed to be talkative and witty.
Astrologers also believe that the planets influence the activities or interests associated with individual houses. For example, if Venus(associated with beauty) were located in the first house(associated with appearance) when a person was born, an astrologer would conclude that the person had an attractive appearance. The various planets in a person’s chart lie at particular angles to one another. These angles, called aspects, also have meaning. Astrologers believe certain angles represent signs of good fortune. Other angles supposedly reveal approaching evil.
