Houses, The backdrop for signs and planetary activity

The houses depict different developmental areas of life that we must address during our life span.
Events in life take place within the backdrop of these different areas. I've changed or modified the house descriptions somewhat, so that we can see how different areas relate within a particular house. It's a bit more realistic than just a set of disconnected keywords.

1st House
The physical characteristics of the individual, and the image the individual projects outward to others and society. The 1st also depicts the individuals level of strength, how he responds to illness and stress.

2nd House
Self-worth, personal resources and money. How the individual handles money issues. If the individual does not value/respect financial resources and other resources, we also look to find that information in the second house.

3rd House
Communication, point of view, mindset, thought life, ability to retain knowledge, state of mind, short term travel (opportunities that bring new ideas: seminars), interaction (communication) with siblings .

4th House
Early home life and it’s influence later in life. The 4th represents one of the parents, often the father, but not necessarily. The “father” archetype often (not always) establishes the rules and culture of the early home setting. Family traditions is a 4th house concern.

5th House
The level of ability to give love. Creativity and all that we create, including children. Creativity can include efforts involving: teaching, drama, work or artistic projects, romance and courtship.

6th House
Daily life, including employment, health, and the ability to work with others or supervise others. Skills or certification acquired to maintain or improve job position.

7th House
Legal or formal agreements in relationships; including marriage, and business associations. Descriptions of those individuals in agreement with the individual. Also may describe those individuals not in agreement, or disagreeing with the individual.

8th House
The benefits or “earning” from formal agreements in business or marriage. Sex, inheritances, business gains, taxes, increased earning or wealth via the marriage or business relationship. Also: healing, occult interests, and crisis.

9th House
The big picture: philosophy or life view. Higher Education, long traveling experiences (change of view), religion, metaphysical perspectives. Publishing (ideas bearing fruit).

10th House
Ambition, career (not just a job), society's view of the individual and social standing, scandals or public fall from grace or honor, the other parent.

11th House
Receptivity to being loved by friends (those chosen by the individual), love received, salaries (money given by boss/company/others) hopes and goals in life. Clubs and professional organizations, (choices the individual makes regarding those he interacts with).

12th House
Transformations: improving, changing, redirecting life physically and mentally. Self undoing, destroying or harming self. Prison and/or hospitalization. After visible life, reincarnation, the occult.
