The 12 Houses of Suffering

In episode 233 astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan get back together in the studio for the second of our two part series on the significations of the houses, this time focusing on the meanings of houses 7 through 12. In part 1 of our series on the significations of the twelve houses in astrology we spent a lot of time in the beginning talking about different conceptual structures underlying the meanings of the houses, whereas in this episode we just jump right in to talking about the 7th house. At the beginning we talk a little bit about the more public nature of the houses in the upper hemisphere, as well as how the interrelationship between opposing houses starts becoming more clear from the 7th house forward. Some of the core significations we talk about for each of the houses: 7th house: relationships, partnership, marriage, the "other" (as opposed to "self") 8th house: death, inheritance, assets of others, partner's finances 9th house: travel, foreign things, education, religion 10th house: career, actions, reputation, public life 11th house: friends, groups, alliances, hopes 12th house: enemies, sickness, loss, seclusion   This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.
