00:00:16
Speaker
So Get In Witches for part two of our birth chart's deep dive, where we continue to understand how our own cosmic tapestry shapes our personalities, relationships, and our life's trajectories.
00:00:49
Speaker
We're back again with another astrology podcast episode. Another. This is now an astrology podcast.
00:01:01
Speaker
But also too, I was thinking like when it comes to astrology, because really like this is even though this is a deep drive in all of the houses, it really is still surface level.
Astrology Houses 7-12 Overview
00:01:14
Speaker
Yeah. So if you guys are wanting more in depth on okay, for instance, like
00:01:18
Speaker
any of the houses, say you looked at your birth chart and you have Virgo in your first house and you want to know what that means. Like what does it mean to have that? We could absolutely do episodes on that as well. So just let us know and you know, like that could even be some sort of episode in the future. It could be supercast content if you guys want it. However you guys would like the information brought to you, let us know because we are here to help.
00:01:45
Speaker
So we are once again talking about birth charts and if you listened to last week, you'll know we kind of went over what your birth chart is and how to find it. But just as a small recap before we get back into the houses, today we're going to be covering houses 7 through 12. Looking into the houses in your birth chart can give you valuable insight into how you exist within the world and how you experience life.
00:02:10
Speaker
While most people that follow astrology today know their big three, which is your sun, your moon, and your rising sign, and how those play a part into who you are as a person, there's an entire solar system of planets that can give you insight into who you are and how you experience these seasons.
00:02:28
Speaker
Think of your birth chart as an astrological building block that can help you lay the groundwork for success, for joy, and for self-understanding. And if this is all new to you, go back to the landlord and tenant idea because that, for me at least, that helped
00:02:45
Speaker
all of this kind of clique. And we discussed this last week where essentially the landlords represent your houses and the planets represent the tenants living within the house and doing the actions and all the work within that house. Yeah, I think that that is one of the best examples I've seen for describing that because it makes so much sense.
00:03:09
Speaker
Let's talk about some houses, okay? Back on the house train. Back on the house train. So kicking it off, I'm going to discuss the seventh house.
The Seventh House: Partnerships & Libra
00:03:17
Speaker
The seventh house is all about committed partnerships, harmony, and diplomacy. This house, it deals with long-term partnerships, and this doesn't necessarily have to be related to like just romantics. It can be like something related to friendships, work, anything like that. It can relate back to marriages, of course, but also
00:03:38
Speaker
dynamics any sort of dynamics or one-on-one interactions that you have with other people especially if it's a long-term situation and it's all about loving other people and it can help show you and dictate how you like to receive love and how you like to give love.
00:03:55
Speaker
It's the farthest house from the first house on the birth chart. Therefore, it's also the house that is farthest away from your own individuality. So if you remember in the last episode, we talked about the first house is all about the self and identity. This one is literally on the opposite side of your birth chart. So it is the farthest away from your individuality. This house is an aesthetic zone that wants to make everything visually pleasing and tastefully chosen. And if you couldn't have guessed,
00:04:25
Speaker
yet so far which zodiac sign is you know really this this house is leans into and is based off of it is associated with Libra but people use their seventh house to find along who their long-term partner is and I thought this was interesting but essentially what you will do is you find your DC line which is your descendant line and it runs like right next to your seventh house and so what you would do is
00:04:53
Speaker
you would find what sign that is in, then find the planetary ruler and see what house that planetary ruler is in. And then that can help you understand what type of person you will end up with and maybe how you'll meet. And I know that that's kind of confusing. So what I will do is I will link
00:05:11
Speaker
and the show notes the like a video kind of explaining it with a visual aid on how to actually find it but i thought that was interesting a little extra tidbit to throw in here about the seventh house but the lower house is ruled by the lower back and the gluteus maximus and if you were born in the booty
00:05:33
Speaker
And if you were born with any planet in your seventh house, it will influence the following areas of your life outside of what I've already discussed. So things like equality, balance, justice, negotiation, diplomacy, contracts, aesthetics, and beauty.
The Eighth House: Intimacy & Scorpio
00:05:49
Speaker
Next is the eighth house, and this is known as the House of Entomacy, Joint Resources, and Transformation. The eighth house is ruled by the fixed water sign of Scorpio, as well as Mars and the transformative Pluto. And this house is considered one of the most complex houses. Its focus is on overseeing sex relationships,
00:06:12
Speaker
but not so much on how people behave in a relationship and more so of how those relationships transform a person, as well as death and rebirth, joint resources, transformation, which I think I already said, so sorry if I did, and our most intimate emotional bonds. Look, I'm a mess. It's fine. This house is also known by some astrologers to help you gain insight on your
00:06:36
Speaker
and it governs joint property that has transformational abilities, so things like an inheritance, debt, or even joint finances. It also shows how you contend with heavier but also deeply fulfilling aspects within your life. The ninth house deals with travel, entrepreneurship, wisdom, and education.
The Ninth House: Travel & Sagittarius
00:07:00
Speaker
This house is all about global expansion and cross-cultural connections.
00:07:05
Speaker
It's also about teaching, publishing, and enlightenment. It's the house of energy and this house can indicate where you will feel restless in your life and the urge to discover new places and spaces. It's also the house of luck. The ninth house can tell you where you might be the most fortunate in your life and in what areas you should take a gamble on and where you'll be the most optimistic.
00:07:27
Speaker
This is also the house that is most tied to tarot, astrology, witchcraft, occultism, and religion because understanding your ninth house will help you understand more about expansion and further your enlightenment journey. This is also the house of no filters. It shows you where in your life you will be most candid and be able to speak your truth. And of course,
00:07:49
Speaker
I feel like it's super obvious the sign correlates best with the fire sign of Sagittarius and physically this house is ruled by the thighs and the hips so you know those hips don't lie and if you were born with any planet in your.
00:08:05
Speaker
ninth house it will influence the following areas of your life outside of what i've already discussed you know with like travel and enlightenment and education and things like that but it will also influence adventure candor your tacklessness or the ability to have tact self-development and of course overarching spiritual beliefs
00:08:26
Speaker
Next is your 10th house, and this house is known as the House of Social Status and Career.
The Tenth House: Career & Capricorn
00:08:33
Speaker
The 10th house is ruled by the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, and by Saturn, which is often referred to as the Taskmaster.
00:08:41
Speaker
The insight that you can gain from understanding the 10th house is things like your career, achievements, and your social status, and how you relate to, are devoted to, or characterized by, friendly companionship or relationships. The cusp of the 10th house is known as the Midheaven, and this can tell an astrologer more about your career path, your social standings, and your public persona.
00:09:08
Speaker
The Tenth House as a whole will give you insight on how you reach your greatest ambitions in life, how you deal with authority figures, or how you might act as one, and how you feel about taking on responsibility, particularly in a public way.
00:09:24
Speaker
This means that having placements in this house could help you determine what your professional goals and ambitions should be, as well as give you insight into how successful you might be. This house is sometimes referred to as the House of Fame or the Fame House, as it has been noted that celebrities will often have several placements within their 10th house.
00:09:46
Speaker
Which I thought was like really interesting. I was reading an article that was talking about how like, if you compare, I can't remember what celebrities were in this, but there were like multiple celebrities like birth charts where they had placements in the 10th house. And I guess it's like a common thing.
00:10:02
Speaker
Yeah, that was really cool. Huh? I'll have to look into mine and see if I'm gonna be famous. I'm just joking. I know Anthony was like so because he was with it being like Capricorn. He was like so what you're saying is you're supposed to be famous and I'm supposed to be a stay at home husband. I was like get out of here. Mine's an Aries, my 10th house. So I'm gonna look that up. I don't remember. I did look mine up last night. Let me see if I can pull it up. I don't remember what mine was. I'm
00:10:29
Speaker
I have my Jupiter and Aries and then also my true node. So yeah, I'm gonna look that up and see if I'm set to be famous. I'm just joking, obviously. It doesn't look like I have any 10th house with sense. Oh, I lied, Saturn. And then what is your 10th house in Capricorn? Scorpio. Ooh, interesting. I don't know what that means.
The Eleventh House: Community & Aquarius
00:10:58
Speaker
me either but maybe like i don't know who knows who knows so the 11th house is all about community technology and innovation this is the house that also has us looking toward the future since it rules technology and science
00:11:15
Speaker
astrology and metaphysical studies are also often seen in this house and it lets you know what areas of your life you can be experimental in any avenue so this is the house of diversity equity revolutions and uprisings and
00:11:30
Speaker
also the house of individual expression. And I thought this was interesting. It says calves are ruled by the 11th house and that it quote unquote makes sense because this house also shows you the things that you run away from. Not me thinking calves as in baby cows.
00:11:48
Speaker
I was like, that's an interesting thing. And then you said run away from and I was like, oh, the body. I spelled it wrong too. So it's also the house of liberation and autonomy. So just as an FYI there too, it is associated with the air sign of Aquarius. And if you're born with any planet in your 11th house, it will influence the following areas of your life outside of what I've already discussed. And these include
00:12:15
Speaker
themes of teamwork, networking, friendship, social justice in all its forms, hopes and wishes, idealism, futurism, and originality.
The Twelfth House: Spirituality & Pisces
00:12:25
Speaker
And then the last house, which is your 12th house, is known as the House of Spirituality and the Subconscious, and it's also sometimes called the House of the Unconscious. The 12th house is ruled by the mutable water sign of Pisces and Jupiter and the illusion-loving Neptune who oversees karma and what's lying beneath the surface.
00:12:51
Speaker
Thanks to the Pisces Association with Emotions and Creativity, this house can give you insight on your imagination, your feelings and subconscious mind, the unconscious mind, dreams, and spiritual growth. This house can help you get a sense of your shadow self and your relationship with your spirituality.
00:13:11
Speaker
by exploring the sign that rules this house in your chart, as well as any placements that might reside within it. Placements in the 12th house can indicate private strengths and weaknesses, and how you confront and even learn from your past actions. And some astrologers believe that looking into your 12th house can also give you some insight into old age and the afterlife, which I found really interesting.
00:13:35
Speaker
I don't know like how or like what type of insight but that wasn't like noted in a couple different articles that like some astrologers use this particular house for insight on those things yes I also so I was looking in because
00:13:52
Speaker
I can't remember how I got on this whole like rabbit hole a few days ago but I was looking at some different like astrology videos and things like that because so for my I think it was my 12th house I'm pretty sure it was they were talking about how like you can
00:14:11
Speaker
predict how you're going to die or something. And I was like, no, thank you. Why would anyone want to know that? I would like it to be a surprise. Exactly. And I'm just like, what? And then they were talking about like, if you have certain like, if certain planets rule certain parts of your chart,
00:14:28
Speaker
It can also indicate if you're going to go out with a bang or something. And I'm just like, why would you want to watch this? I don't want to know. Who wants to know that? You're going too far down the rabbit hole now. This is just too much. I don't want to know that. I do want it to surprise me just as much as everyone else. Exactly. No one needs to know when they're going to kick it. No. Could you imagine? No, thank you. No, no thanks. No, thank you. OK, that is really interesting.
00:14:55
Speaker
think all like everything to do with this is so interesting. And then you know, we talked about this in the last episode, but just like when we were going through like the history of it and like how long like this is essentially always been a thing. It's been people have studied the planets and how they affect us and our personalities and you know, our traits throughout history, like since the dawn of human age, but it's just like it's crazy to think that
00:15:21
Speaker
Back then where there's no technology not like they were you know, essentially creating things to be able to study this But just somebody was like, you know, I'm starting to see some patterns and these people born on this day So let me start like looking into the planets like it's just it's wild
00:15:39
Speaker
it's wild. And you always have like the naysayers to like, you see this a lot, especially with astrology, like people will make fun of being like, Oh, you're a Capricorn. So you must have these traits or whatever. And they like think that it's like bullshit or whatever. But like, if you're like, Oh, well, science proves that like the moon controls the tide of the oceans. They're like, Oh, okay.
00:15:58
Speaker
But when it comes to astrology, they're like, no, no, no. But then also the moon influences how many people are in the emergency room or giving birth. And they talk about every single person on Facebook.
00:16:18
Speaker
So like, that's gonna be crazy. Like, like all the crazies are out on a full moon. Like you, you hear people say that all the time. There's like a reason that this is said it's not just like, it's not like being made up. Yeah, it's a whole science. And it's so annoying because people think it's a pseudoscience. And I'm like, No, it's not. No,
00:16:41
Speaker
If it's a pseudoscience, why has it been always a thing? Why is there actual patterns? Why has it outlasted most science? Yeah, honestly. It's just crazy. It's wild. You're always going to have naysayers though.
Astrology's Historical Context & Criticism
00:16:58
Speaker
We just ignore them. Yes, yes. They can skedaddle. And then they can just not understand.
00:17:05
Speaker
their personality traits based on the planets and why they are the way they are. It's probably indicative of their birth chart. They're probably super stubborn and there's something going on. They're probably a Virgo. I'm just joking. Anthony, Michael, no. Or a Taurus. My husband. I just love that they are so similar with certain things. It's just air pressure, Samantha, OK?
00:17:35
Speaker
So they have this dog bed down here and it's got like the lip on it, you know? So it has a crease and he's always like fucking with the crease of it. And so I took it outside to, I was going to put it in the washer, but I take it outside and like shake it before I put it in the washer to try to get some of that stuff off of it. So when I did that last time, like three fucking crystals fell out of the crease.
00:17:56
Speaker
And he's always like tucking stuff. Like I thought he was just like fucking with the bed. He was stealing crystals and tucking them into the crease of his bed to hide them. He's like, I'm just trying to get my energies. Right. Tuck my zone. Yeah. This is my space. I'm just trying to make it safe.
00:18:17
Speaker
That's really funny. A little turd. There was like a tiger's eye in there, a quartz, and I think the other one was an obsidian. I was like, bud. Yeah. Can we leave mouse crystals alone, please? Thank you. I'm just trying to be a good little witch pup. Yeah. Take it after my mama. A little turd. He's so cute.
