Deepest
Principles of the Zodiac
Exercise 3
Each
phrase below is one way of understanding the
deepest principle of each particular house
(but not the only important principle of each
house). See the "A Diagram of Planets, Signs,
and Houses: Glyphs and Rulerships" to see which
house is which (the houses are numbered), and
the sign and planet(s) associated with each
house. Then see below for how to work with
this information.

This simple diagram makes some interesting points.
- The
qualities of the last six houses (the ones
above the horizon) all find their foundation
in the house opposite to their own. See
if you can understand how this is true
in each case. Find the connection between
fulfilling each of the first six principles,
and the resulting quality that can come
about, shown in the opposite house.
- All
of the first six houses' descriptions start
with the letter 's', which is how this
diagram naturally came to me. This is fitting,
since the first six houses (and signs)
are related to primarily to self. The remaining
six houses refer to more interesting things
that we can have or do when we focus on
something for ourselves.
Working with Deepest Principles for Self-Knowledge
- Look
to the second half of the circle (corresponding
to houses 7 through 12).Which of these
things do you want to have more of? Look
to its opposite and focus on that. * See
note on Joy and Stimulation below
- Reflect
on the spiritual importance of each principle.
Are there any that seem unimportant or
unspiritual to you? If so, think about
it for a while.
* On Joy and Stimulation:
I realize that some false ideas could come about
with regard to stimulation as the foundation
of joy, but i also think that there is an important
point here. Maybe if we don't feel enough joy
in life, we could do something different. We
could go outside more, we could appreciate art,
we could go for a short trip to do something
different. Of course, i'm not saying that joy
only comes from stimulation, but i am saying
that sometimes it helps to do things that are
fun and interesting if we are not feeling happy.
