The first house is the beginning, a new birth or new start and each house forward builds on our transition through the houses in Astrology.
Transit Through houses Five Through Eight

As discussed in our post on February 26, in Astrology, the Ascendant is a new beginning.  As anything moves through the first houses, we begin again. Thinking strictly of the energies of the houses, without focusing on the energies of the planets, comets or anything else that migrates through the Zodiac, the first house is the beginning, a new birth or new start and each house forward builds on our transition through the houses in Astrology Part II.

 

We looked at the first four houses on February 26, 2024 - www.holmastrology.com/post/our-transition-through-the-houses-in-astrology. Let’s continue with houses five through eight. 

 

Our home and family and our heritage are now a part of us as we transit out of the fourth house into the fifth.  The fifth house is the house of children and romantic involvement.  In some cases, we decide that this is the time to begin a family and some Astrologers believe that the fifth house describes our first-born child.  We also look to find someone to love, and a romantic involvement often makes its way into our hearts.  Often, we also become aware of our creative expression, and we may begin to venture forth into these areas of expression.  It is important to realize that fun is a big part of life, and the fifth house is often where we address this.

 

We now move from the fifth house of romance and perhaps the pursuit of children to examining our daily routine. Topics of discussion may involve our working environment and those we work with.  We might ask ourselves, “is this what we want to do with our life?  Are the people that surround us on a daily basis, the people that fit our plans for the future?  Are we satisfied with how things are and is this affecting our health in any manner?  We may see all the little flaws in our working environment and ask ourselves, “is this affecting my wellbeing?  In many circumstances, we need to relax a little and let our nerves settle down and look to see if this is the right fit for us or do we simply need to change our attitude.  Perhaps a pet might help calm us after a busy day at work.  Just a sixth house thought.

 

The workplace and its people are important factors in our overall health and our financial situation, (this incorporates the sixth as well as the second houses which, by the way, are both earth houses dealing with earth matters).  We now move from the sixth house into our seventh house which, first and foremost, has to do with our relationships.  This can be relationships with our co-workers but pertains more directly to our relationships with important people in life such as our partners.  Life is certainly moving ahead, and our partner now can become an important factor in life as we progress.  We need to share our lives with those that matter, and this is where we learn about cooperation, balance and how to create harmony within relationships with others.  We may even think about starting our own business with the help of or through a joint relationship with someone.  We need to feel whole, and we also need things to be fair. Sometimes we will need to watch for open enemies within that core group.  This is not always the case but worth mentioning. Often your partner helps with any conditions that might surface as you move ahead in your endeavors. 

 

We now have our work situation hopefully figured out and our relationship with our partner is healthy. If not, now as we begin to share resources, we might need to have a deep reflective period where we can analysis what it is that we want and need.  Some find that an interest arises in occult matters due to the deep inner reflection that often takes place during this phase of development in our eighth house.  Sometimes something needs to be reborn at this time and in some cases, we lose something or someone that matters, but without this stage, we cannot evolve and transform towards our life objectives and/or find who we truly are.  This is an explorative life, and we are embarking on this journey to find meaning and truth.

 

We will finish our journey through the houses in our next Astrology post on March 4.

We all experience life events that are anything but comfortable.  This is a common thread we all share, and these periodic events can make us feel stifled and can deplete our enjoyment of life. 

 


Our attitude towards events and choices can make the experience less than ideal or we can see the event for what it is and use it for growth. A life event, teaching us lessons that can only be taught this way, they are not punishment or bad luck. They are growth and propulsion forward.
Take Life as it Comes

We feel so content when life flows smoothly, yet when we experience the slightest little twist, we may feel slightly off kilter or struggle immensely. 

 

Realistically, we cannot escape life’s lessons. Many of us look at them as punishment or bad luck, and we can get caught up in the event spending far too much time thinking about “our bad luck” and “why me” as opposed to welcoming the lessons for growth and expansion.

 

“Loss” is often a big portion of our lessons whether it is loss of a loved one as they pass over or when we walk away from someone or someone else walks out of our lives and the list goes on. 

 

Are these actual losses?

 

A loved one passing on has just moved to the next chapter of their soul’s journey. How could that be a loss?

 

Being with someone whose energy clashes with us or that we have outgrown is not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.  Saying our goodbyes and moving on to a new chapter in our life is not a loss. It is a new beginning.

 

Our attitude towards events and choices can make the experience less than ideal or we can see the event for what it is and use it for growth. A life event, teaching us lessons that can only be taught this way, are not punishment; they are not bad luck. They are growth and propulsion forward. Take life as it comes.

 

These lessons can be uncomfortable, for the moment, but remember, they are temporary, and we will adjust. They provide us with valuable lessons or life experiences that would not otherwise have been taught.  There is usually a deeper meaning behind these events although we may not be able to understand what is being taught in the moment.  Don’t search for the answers to these experiences. Let them reveal themselves to you.  The search itself can hold you back.

 

Your attitude and focus play important roles in all life experiences.  You cannot escape your life and what is. You are meant to experience the lesson; how long you hold onto the pain is a choice.  That is up to you and your focus can change when you decide that it is time to move on. 

 

Do not focus on what is missing, focus on what you have.  Pay heed to all the little things in life that are working even when they are hard to find, for they are still there.  Your focus amplifies what is. With practice, this focus gets easier and easier. It does take work to become accustomed to how the mind operates but it is no different that muscle memory.  Practice makes perfect.

 

Don’t forget, you are not your mind. You are the one listening to it.

There is a gradual development as anything moves through the houses of the Zodiac.  The first house represents a new beginning and as we migrate through each house, we develop the skills represented by the energies of each house, one building on the next. Today we will look at houses one through four.
Our Transition Through The Houses in Astrology, House one through four

In Astrology, the Ascendant is a new beginning.  As anything moves through the first houses, we begin again. There is a gradual development as anything moves through the houses of the Zodiac.  The first house represents a new beginning and as we transition through each house, we develop the skills represented by the energies of each house, one building on the next. Today we will look at houses one through four.

 


Thinking strictly of the energies of the houses, without focusing on the energies of the planets, comets or anything else that migrates through the Zodiac, the first house, again, is the beginning, a new birth or new start. We learn what is required in order to express ourselves in our environment.  We acquire certain characteristics which suit our outward expression, build on how we wish to be seen by the world and formulate a plan to push onward in our quest of life.

 

As we move from the first into the second house, and we are becoming comfortable with our outward expression especially in the way we present ourselves to the general public, we now need to find comfort in this expression and security from within.  Some find this inner security, although often we may find this temporarily in our efforts to acquire financial security.  What we are really trying to obtain is inner security and no outward success can build any type of permanent security.  The financial situation, whether we choose or do not choose to pursue this, does offer a “feeling” of security in the ever changing monetary expression.

 

As we begin to gain inner confidence acquired in the second house, we then move into the third house where we set out to achieve communication skills in our daily life experience.  We may now feel secure enough within or not so secure, but our self-expression through our communicative techniques will hopefully help in these situations.  This can be received through many channels such as communication with siblings and other family members in early life.  When we mature, we should be ready to tackle the world at large and our communication is essential for our advancements whatever that may be.

 

When we venture beyond communication techniques we acquired through the third house, we should now begin to settle into life.  We then begin thinking about family and a place where we can hang our hat, so to speak.  We move towards settling into a home of our choosing and think about building a family although our own immediate family, especially the parents, will have a significant impact on some of these choices.  We may move from the family home and find a place of our own or think about gaining our own independence in some manner.  We may be ready or almost ready to buy a home but we might want someone to share the expense or we start our journey towards a family of our own, all represented by the fourth house energies.


We will continue with our transition through the houses in Astrology in our post on February 28.
