The eleventh house connects us to like-minded organizations that help us improve our lives and build our dreams. The eleventh house is all about compassion, humanity, and dreams.

Our attitudes towards humanity shape how we contribute towards the earth as a living entity, using our dreams, ideas, and actions to build a world we want to share with others.

This is a social house, and we can view how a person socializes and what sort of people they are attracted to when they want to see the bigger picture. It is not a personal house, but about our wider social circles, including those we do not necessarily like but who have something to offer.

The tenth house is one of the most significant houses in astrology, dealing with issues such as status, recognition, authority, career fulfillment, and actualization. The planetary ruler of this home is Saturn, whose symbol is the goat. The 10th house cusp is in a person's natal chart where they are most likely to realize their professional goal.

The 10th house is the opposite of the 4th, which represents home and family. It reflects your status in society and what you do to help others in a public way. It is also the place where you are most able to put all of your ambition skills into play toward gaining status, fame, or success, as well as positions of authority.

The Eighth House is one of three psychic (or psychological) houses, and it shows the native's dealings with other people's money in the birth chart either as an investor or speculator. They are accountable for those they gamble on or give their investments to; such things can go well sometimes but often end badly when unnecessary risks are involved.

The Eighth House is the house of crisis and death, where an individual confronts their psychological dilemmas. Indiviuals here learn to see all problems in a spiritual light rather than just psychologically; they draw upon their spiritual strengths and resources to deal with these situations.

The 7th house is all about relationships, which means they are complex and ever-changing. The people who come into our lives evoking robust emotional responses are to be looked at as mirrors that reflect our inner world or direct catalysts for our evolutionary growth. Each person that enters into your life has the capacity to completely change it, for better or worse!

While the 7th house can be lopsided and unbalanced at times (something we will discuss in another article), there are many gifts and lessons to be gained through it, as it will challenge you in ways that no other house will.

The sixth house is where you will find your work ethic, motivations, and how you deal with stress. If there are planets here, they could indicate your greatest inspiration, the field of work you seek the most in life, and what makes this soul feel motivated and fulfilled. This placement may also reveal how you feel about health, dieting, and physical exercise.

The fifth house is where we recognize our individuality and express it in the world thru our various gifts. Here we are drawn to activities that feed the inner child, our creativity, the child in us that remains forever young. Casual relationships, games, children, dancing, and partying are some themes that encapsulate the fifth house's essence. It is the House of Pleasure, the ultimate playground for the soul.

Your sense of home is likely to change as you get older. Where do your roots lie? If the first house tells us about how we handle the world, then the fourth house tells us what motivated those decisions. Is it more important for you to be with family or explore unknown territory and create a new community elsewhere?
