Your astrological birthchart is a map which can guide you to true self-knowledge. Everyone born on a given day will have the same planets in the same signs, but planetary placements in the houses depend on a more individual factor - the exact place and time of your birth.

The Twelve Houses

Maxime van der Wal

The Twelve Houses  is a comprehensive guide on the astrological houses, covering not only the planets in houses but also Chiron and the Moon's Nodes. Sasportas has an undeniably excellent feeling for the houses and knows how to find the balance between teaching and challenging the reader. My only complaint is that Sasportas uses the theory of associating houses with the signs (as in, first house is associated with Aries), which is a theory I personally disagree with. I also felt he could've elaborated more on the second house in the 'cookbook' part of the book. Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed Sasportas' insights and I'll definitely go back to this book often when interpreting a chart.
