The Houses
The
houses are not always the same size in charts. Each house represents
different areas and parts of a life or of what is happening. If you
compare the houses to the signs, you will realize that there is a
matching between what each house deals with and what the corresponding
sign rules. The first house is like Aries, the second like Taurus, and
so on.

The Next Step
The Reference Section contains this
information, but does not include the pictures and the glyphs are
smaller. The idea is to put the essential data only in that section.
Now that you've had time to learn the
signs and the sign glyphs, the next step is to learn the planets, then
houses, then we will practice reading a birth chart.
