This was fantastic! I’m not ashamed to admit that I took about 8 pages of notes. I really appreciate that Rick discussed each of the houses’ nuances and detailed aspects that commonly glossed over by most astrologers. The first house, for example, makes so much more sense now. It was always confusing when it was a general statement that the 1st house is about “you”, but Rick’s explanation about how I appear to others and physically express myself was my “ah-hah” moment. Thank you!

I have moon, Jupiter and Saturn all in Capricorn in my 4th house. My mother was checked out (Pisces Sun), I was HER mother, I took care of the home from 12-17, laundry, shopping, cleaning while fitting in school. I couldn’t wait to leave home and at 17, I had enough…oh and my mother was an astrologer and I follow placidus, whole sign doesn’t track right in my chart but im just trying to understand astrology still at 64…the more I learn it seems the more I need to learn ! 😊

[chansonette]

I use Placidus b/c that's the default on AstroDienst. I tried whole sign a time or two out of curiosity--when all those heavy-hitters were clustered in Capricorn. Placidus made that my 6th house, which was spot on for what I was experiencing. Whole sign made it my 7th...where nothing was happening at all. So I stuck with Placidus.

48:18 As a 12 house Sun. I'm so glad you said this. Most people don't understand the 12th.

[Clearsignalwellness]

I have a 4 planet stellium in my sixth house and I’ve been a nurse for almost 20 yrs…astrology is so cool! ❤

[lauriefuda]

I'm still a "baby astrologer" having only been seriously studying since 2019, and I "grew up" on Placidus, which I still use. And it DID drive me crazy when I learned about other systems....I'm a Gemini, with 4 planets in Gemini, and a part of me wanted there to be a "right" way. I had to let that go, lol. I've looked at my chart using whole signs-which puts all of my Gemini planets in the 8th being Scorpio Rising. It also changes some other things as well. Sometimes if I'm looking at someone's chart and they describe certain ways they are, if things don't make sense, I look at whole signs, and then it might resonate more. I've learned it doesn't have to be this OR that, and can be both/either. Thanks again. Appreciate you both.

Amanda when you said you have Jupiter in 4th house and how expansive your mom is, I decided to check where my kids have Jupiter because parenting is the one thing I really feel I shine at (I have a stellium in 4th) and my kids attest to what an amazing mom I am, so get this BOTH kids (one 20 and the other 14) have Jupiter in their 4 house! Wow!

[HRKrow]

The 12th feels like a problem when not in touch with the subconscious mind. We must have a deep awareness of ourselves to make the decisions that lead to happy vs bad endings.

[edenbarnes]

I have always been mystified by having many key planets in my 12th house. in the old days I would be doomed. but I love the explanation of it being where I am solving my Karma. Also I haven no idea how others see me. or understanding myself. It's must better now that I have been around so long.

[suzanemerson]

Rick is the most of the astute astrologers that we are blessed with today. I love him!!

[Dani-wvev]

Wow. That was amazing! I LOVE Rick's way of explaining the houses, the way the relate to the zodiac signs and the different areas of our life. At long last I believe that I understood (to a small extend) the way the houses work.
Thank you so much Rick and many thanks to Amanda bringing this amazing video to us 🤩❤❣

[graceamsterdam]

Thanks for doing this topic! One cannot have enough understanding of the so called basics.

[wandRng]

So interesting. 12 house explanation makes so much sense. Always wondered what my Leo in 12th house really meant. I used to be angry, addicted to substances, unconsciously a victim. Hit rock bottom and have completely reconfigured my mind and life by delving into a spiritual life. Today, i understand my ego mind, Ive forgiven my past, and, even though the lion is always there, it no longer has that power over me. I thank God, the stars, and my higher self for doing better this lifetime.

I have Chiron in my fourth house of Gemini. To say I had a difficult or challenging upbringing would be putting it lightly. I considered myself as damaged goods for so many years of my life but am now snapping out of that thought trap. I see myself now as someone who possess strength and endurance, although i will admit that there are times when things just seem to get too overwhelming for me and i have to retreat for a little while to let my nervous system reboot. Thanks so much for all the really great information you share!

I have 4 planets in my 10th house, including my sun. My career has always just kept on poppin even if I put little effort into it

[catherine]

I have Saturn in the 4th in Virgo and Jupiter in the 10th in Pisces. For various reasons I spent more time with my mother's family than my dad's. I often say the basic difference between the 2 families as I experienced it was that when I had some ambitions, my mother's family would roll their eyes and say, "People like us don't do that", while my dad's would smile and say "Why not?". My biggest struggle -only now that Pluto has gone through my 7th am I "liberated" from that.

[FGFGrateful]

In Placidus I have Pluto, Jupiter, SN and Uranus in the 4h. But if I use whole sign houses. That stellium is all in 3h. Now as a Gemini with Cancer rising. I relate more to the quadrant house system. When I first started learning astrology in the 90s. I did charts with paper, pen and a calculator and I could find my approximate ASC. And I just put that same degree on every cusp until they came out with websites that could calculate it for me. The astrology still worked for me in either system.

[averiemaddox]

I also wonder what your thoughts are on Sabian Symbols and how they change/their relevance with different house systems.
Thank you for this episode! Tons of helpful information and the houses that I have less of a grasp on are being explained beautifully by Rick.
