The Houses and Planets/Planetary Bodies in Astrology



Houses are numeric placements of the astrological or zodiacal wheel or chart from numbers 1 to 12 or I to XII and are placed on the inner circle directly underneath the Astrological or Zodiac Signs that represent the sky overhead or as above. The houses represent human life or what is below. These two interacting circular models are guides toward what becomes an astrological forecast. There are what may be called individual houses for individual, natal presentation or general houses for broader scopes of presentation. In astrology within a house, there may be a planetary body or planetary bodies on the wheel or chart shown as glyphs/symbols. Due to visibility of the traditional celestial bodies being seen with the bare eye in which are the Sun/a star, the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, they appear as star-type figures with movement relative to stars and were given the term wandering stars by the Ancients because the planets/planetary bodies display continuous activity.
