Astrology Signs and Their Natural House Meanings
In the following video I explore the twelve different Zodiac Signs and compare their meanings to the twelve different Houses in Astrology. I do so by comparing the natural order of the Signs with the order of the Houses and demonstrate how their significations line up to create a complete cycle of order from both perspectives.
This is a good way to become familiar with the different Sign and House meanings because it shows a logical sequence that we can follow from one Sign and House to the next, that we can make sense of in a complete way, as we look at their significations in relation to one another.
