18. Your 12-House Tour: How the Houses Make Astrology Make Sense

Ever pulled up your birth chart, read your sun sign description, and thought… “Wait, this doesn’t sound like me at all?” You’re not wrong. That missing piece is probably the houses — the part of astrology that shows where all your planetary energy is actually showing up in your life.

In this episode, we’re walking you through all 12 astrological houses and comparing each one to a room in your home (plus one bonus billboard analogy we couldn’t resist). Think of it like a house tour for your chart. Your planets are the “what,” your signs are the “how,” and the houses are the “where.” Once you understand which houses your placements live in, astrology stops feeling generic and starts feeling like you.

We’ll break down what each house represents — from identity and relationships to career, creativity, and spirituality — and share personal stories from our own charts along the way. Whether you’ve got planets stacked in one house or some rooms sitting empty, this episode will help you see why your chart tells a story that’s uniquely yours.

What You'll Discover:

• Why your rising sign kicks off your first house and sets the vibe for your whole chart.
• How the same planet in different houses can completely shift your life experience.
• Why empty houses aren’t as empty as they seem, and how their ruling signs influence them.
• What each of the 12 houses represents.
• Why your house placements matter more than you think in making astrology relatable.
