In Astrology, the houses represent the areas in our lives that are affected by the planets and zodiac signs. Although my architecture/interior design certificate was never completed, I’ve decided to apply my knowledge of these subjects to an astrological analogy. The planets are like the rooms within a house; the zodiac signs add character and style to everything within the house; and the astrological houses are of course…the houses themselves!

With this in mind, here are some examples of physical house types and how they relate to the astrological houses.

Astrology House + Physical House Examples

Since the second house in Astrology is the house of material resources and money, I relate it to a mansion. While placements in the second house don’t always equal big money, someone with strong second house placements is often very attached to wealth and material gains.

On the other hand, with a condo representing the seventh house, you can see a strong connection to relationships and other people. For example, I have very strong seventh house placements and I live in a condo because I’m comfortable knowing that other people are close by, or rather, attached to me at all times. Not to mention, I have Cancer in the seventh house, so that could be adding some clingy flair.

Is my analogy still not making sense? That’s OK! Take some time to explore the images and links below in order to gain a better understanding of what each house signifies.
