  The houses are moving! First thing, you exist. That’s strong, that’s powerful, that’s Angular, that’s First House. Succedent Houses are Houses that come next. Planets located in the second house are following those that are located in the first, in primary motion, that is clockwise. These planets will rise next. The Second house is a Succedent one. You exist, and now you are hungry You want food, you want money Cadent Houses are Houses that fall over. (form latin cadere, to fall) Angles are peaks. After any summit comes decline. After angular you fall into cadent. That’s clockwise logic, aka Primary Motion. It’s worth repeating. The IC is an anti peak, a reversed MC so to speak The cadent house that falls after this anti peak actually starts climbing. It’s the third house, aka House of the Goddess. The Moon is happy there.

This gives them super power. If the Sun is in your First House, it was still dark when you were born, but just wait a few minutes,...

I have often heard that the First House is the house of self....I would rather call it "house of incarnated personality". What's the difference between self and personality? It seems to me that the ultimate being at the core of everyone, human, plant, animal and even mineral... is no other than the unique universal being, the Great Spirit, the Universe, Allah, the One or whatever you call It... Now, this ONE is dreaming many characters, one of these creatures is you, another is me… There are two dimensions to these divine characters we are, a self which looks like how God dreamed us, perfect, beautiful and empty like a temple, and the incarnated personality, which is the self wrapped up in a heavy body of flesh and bones, inhabited by instincts, ancestral memories and weighted by karma.... the personality is our self - or soul - trying to express itself in the flesh, but not really succeeding yet... It's a work of clay in progress. It's...
