A Deep Dive Into The Houses

For astrologers and the astro-curious who want to truly understand their own chart and take their chart synthesis to the next level

You've learned the basics of the 12 houses, giving you a general sense of what the houses are and how they work. 

But there's much more to the houses.

The sign on the house cusp, each house ruler, intercepted signs, empty houses, stelliums, planets sitting right up close to the cusp — this is the stuff that makes your chart come alive — and where all the excitement is. 

Houses are where the action happens

We have the planet, the sign, the aspects, and the house — and the houses are where we really feel our astrology, because they're a very earthly thing. Houses are all about how the sky looks from down here on the earth, and when you look around your life, you're seeing your houses in action every day.

The signs tell HOW. The houses tell WHERE.

That's why the houses make astrology so practical, personal, and meaningful, and why your understanding of your own chart only truly lands and becomes real once you have a solid grounding in them.

  • You're becoming an astrologer (this is essential learning for you)

  • You want to learn astrology to understand your own chart

  • You want to discover more about the charts of people you love

If you are, or will be, a professional astrologer, having a deep understanding of the houses is essential. When clients ask you questions, you want to give them an accurate, in-depth, on-point interpretation of their soul's curriculum. 

Their soul curriculum is how I see the natal chart — how it plays out depends on the houses.

What you'll learn

  • House systems, and what the houses are (we can't see them, right?)

  • Signs on the house cusps, and the planetary rulers of each house

  • Why Taurus doesn't actually rule the second house (unless it does in your chart)

  • The Sun's daily cycle through the houses

  • Intercepted signs and their meaning

  • House sizes, hemispheres, and quadrants

  • Empty houses, stelliums, and planets close to a house cusp

  • How to see family members in a chart

What you get

  • Six live 2-hour classes where you can ask questions, join class discussions, and possibly breakout rooms (I love breakout rooms when we have time)

  • Recordings of every class, so you can rewatch anything you want to hear again, or catch up if you miss a live session

  • A personal workbook that applies everything we cover directly to your natal chart. I'll send it on day one, maybe sooner, and you'll work with it throughout our time together.

  • An intimate, personal understanding of your own chart and your unique-to-you house rulers, so you can go on to understand the charts of the people in your life and your clients, if you have them

* Bring your birth chart to every class.

Is this class for you?

We’ll meet LIVE on the following dates:


All times EST.

Introduction to house systems, signs on house cusps, house rulers, the daily cycle of the houses, intercepted signs, house sizes, and planets in houses.
Monday, November 30, 12–2 pm

Class 2: Foundations, Part 2 

Foundations continued, with hemispheres, quadrants, and all the nuances of how to think about the houses.
Tuesday, December 1, 1–3 pm

Class 3: The Houses of Life
The fire houses

Class 4: The Houses of Substance
The earth houses

Class 6: The Houses of the Soul
The water houses — some astrologers call them the houses of endings. They're karmic and very soulful, and you could call them the vulnerable places in your chart, but they're really powerful. This is probably my favorite class to teach because there's so much depth.
Tuesday, December 8, 1–3 pm

A note from your teacher: 

When you leave this class, I want you to say I really get it now — I want you to have a solid, grounded, practical understanding of the houses, and of your own chart through them, because once you understand your chart that deeply, everything else in astrology opens up. I hope you'll join me.
