The information below is about 12 Whole Sign Houses in astrology. It’s important to understand the essence of each house and how the activity of that house affects our lives. Based on the ruling planet of that house, the planets that are placed within each house, the transits of planets in a house and much more. Astrology is a spiritual tool of Divinity. The more we tune into our soul self – we tune into our charts and create profound understandings.
