Hi Lorraine

You need the exact time and location of your birth to ascertain the correct division of the house and to find your rising sign.

Their are 12 house divisions, 12 fields of experience. The planets live in those houses and the signs color the activities of that house.

Ex. Aries in the 6th house , the affairs of that house would be conducted with Aries energy.

Each house has an entrance before walking in. Each house has a landlord or natural ruler.

Ex. Cancer in 4th house would have Moon as ruler.

Now, houses also have tenants which reside in them. Some are comfortable because of their affinity and others are intruders and highly uncomfortable in these same house.

The 1st house is you, how you show yourself to the world or how they see you.

2nd house is your finance, the money house. Here it reveals whether you are a spendthrift or economical.

3rd house is the house of communciation, education, brothers and sisters. It shows your mental disposition.

4th house deals wtih the home, the parent of same s*x, and conditions towards end of life.

5th house deals with love affairs, romance, speculations entertainment and children. This is the house of creativity, sharing .

6th house relates to work and health and nutrition. Small pets, aunts and uncles are also seen through this house.

7th house relates to your relationship, marriage, partnerships.

8th house deals with other peoples money, death, sexual issues, inheritance, etc...

9th house relates to religious and philosophical views , higher education and lessons learnt from life's experience, in-laws, foreign dealings and long journeys.

10th house deals with your reputation, your career, how you sell yourself to the world. It deals with community and profession.

11th deals with friends, desires and wishes and if you will attain them.

12th house deals with asylums, hospitals, place of restrictions, and shows your limitations and restrictions whether through your own self-undoing or through others.

Hopes this gives you an idea.
