Interpretation

House Groupings and Event Combinations

Primary and supporting houses

House groupings describe the components of an event. A primary cusp anchors the subject, while other houses describe resources, participation, fulfilment, movement or expenditure. The following are common reference combinations; a full interpretation includes the chosen rule and any competing connections.

SubjectCommon house groupingContext
Employment and promotion2, 6, 10, 11Resources, service, profession and fulfilment
Business activity2, 7, 10, 11Resources, counterparties, activity and gains
Marriage2, 7, 11Family addition, partnership and fulfilment
Higher education4, 9, 11Educational foundation, higher study and completion
Competitive examination4, 6, 11Study, competition and desired result
Overseas study4, 9, 11, 12Study, higher learning, completion and distant residence
Children and family expansion2, 5, 11Family, children and fulfilment in common approaches
Property acquisition4, 11, with transaction-specific additionsProperty and acquisition; finance and expenditure need separate attention
Long-distance or foreign travel3, 9, 12Movement, longer journeys and separation from usual residence
Traditional illness discussion6, 8, 12Illness, disruption and confinement in historical interpretations
Traditional recovery discussion1, 5, 11Body, relief and fulfilment in historical interpretations

Opposition is contextual

The twelfth from a supporting house is sometimes considered its loss or negation. This explains common discussions of 1, 6 and 10 against the marriage group 2, 7 and 11. It does not make those houses unfavourable for every subject, and it does not prove separation on its own.

Similarly, 5, 8 and 12 may be discussed in employment interruption, but they do not constitute a universal bankruptcy formula. An interruption, voluntary retirement, business closure and insolvency are distinct events.

Define the milestone

Visa approval is different from travelling. Purchasing a property is different from taking possession. Marriage registration is different from an engagement. Keeping the milestone explicit prevents a broad grouping from being made to fit any outcome after the fact.
