Here I explain what the 12 houses in astrology are, where their meanings come from, and what each house represents in a birth chart.

In this episode, I answer a common question: what energy do each of the zodiac signs hold? I run through tropical vs. sidereal vs. constellational zodiacs and western vs. Indian astrology. I then explain the 4 considerations for each zodiac sign (planetary ruler, modality, element, and polarity), and how that translates into each sign's significations!
