For example, if you were born with Jupiter-planet of opportunity, growth, and wisdom-in your tenth house of career, you might end up working in a Jupiterian profession such as a scholar, teacher or lawyer. Planets are the voice of our chart-and that voice speaks loudly in the house where the planet resides. The houses, which represent different topics in our life, are the different settings where the play takes place. Your birth chart is as multifaceted and dynamic as a stage play: The planets are the actors, the signs are the actor’s costumes, and the aspects show how the actors (planets) dialogue with each other. Though many start their astrological journey through getting to know the zodiac signs, this is just one part of astrology.
