A summary of the twelve houses
The twelve houses of the horoscope define twelve areas of our life. the beginning of each of the houses is called the cusp. each house has what is called a natural sign and natural ruling planets. this is the sign and planet which are associated with that house in the natural chart beginning with aries and ending with pisces. the astrodienst charts show another division of the houses. this division places the houses in groups that are on the angles, the angular (ang); houses that follow immediately behind each angular house, the succedent (suc) houses, and the third in line, the cadent (cad) houses. there are four each, angular, succedent, and cadent houses. older books taught that planets in the angular houses were somewhat stronger and planets in the cadent houses were weaker in influence. now little attention is paid to this idea.
