The first house of horoscope takes care of the Eastern horizon, the second house is just below the Eastern horizon, the third house is deeply below the Eastern horizon, the fourth house is directly underneath the child, the fifth house is underneath him and behind a little bit. The sixth house is underneath him and quiet a bit behind him. The seventh house of horoscope is behind him covering the Western or Sunset horizon. The eighth house is just over his shoulder when he turns his head around and looks behind himself. The ninth house is above the top back part of his head, the tenth house is straight over his head, the eleventh house is what he sees when he looks upwards but not straight up and the twelfth house is little over the eastern horizon and this position moves us again to the first house, which leads the eastern horizon.
In this way, the entire 360 degree circular span of space surrounding the child and the earth are divided into twelve equal thirty degree sections, each of which has a number from one to twelve and is known as a house. Studying the aspects of life governed by these houses forms the core of astrology. The tenth house of horoscope, for example, i.e., the span of space directly overhead, governs power, position and an individual`s career to a large degree. In this span of space any planet during birth of a child affects greatly the baby`s power, career and status in life. Thus, it can be said that the twelve houses of horoscope are always there encircling an individual and its earth.
