When it says, for example, that Venus is in the Ninth House. What does that mean? What significance do the houses have to the zodiac, and where are the houses defined?
I am not an Astrologer by any means, but have been doing some reading on it. Let me see if I can help… Here is a quick summary. Venus signifies not necessarily love, but more so, it causes us to self-indulge ourselves. The ninth house is basically associated with foreign travels, publishing, consciousness, higher education, philosophy, religion, politics, and law. Put them together and you may find love abroad, or find yourself becoming attracted to people from different cultures. And you probably love books, reading, learning…expanding your knowledge, etc. The houses just symbolize what kind of situations and challenges you will have to deal with in your own lifetime…challenges you set yourself, etc. The houses are defined from your Natal Chart (Birth Chart), which is a chart you get done from information you provide such as your birth date, birth time and birth place. This chart breaks down where the planets were at your birth, which correlates to what House they were in. Each planet has a different meaning when it is in a specific House. Let me know if I helped.
Thank you very much for that information, but where are the houses in the sky defined? Like, if Venus was in the 9th house, where in the sky would it be?
It all depends where the houses were at the time of your birth. You should do a natal chart for yourself and see it for yourself. All planets move, some are faster than others, of course. So if when you were born Sun was in your 4th house, for example, approximately 1-30 days later it would move to your 5th house, then 6 th house and so on.

Age of Pisces ended in 2000 and Age fo Aquarius follows for another 2000 years. Age of Aquarius You've all probably heard the song, Age of Aquarius, the one about the time when Jupiter aligns with Mars. Well, there's really more to it than that, as Jupiter and Mars align relatively often. What's really remarkable about this epoch is the powerful change that will sweep through our world, the shift in mood, action and intention that is already palpable. The estimated start date is thought to be sometime around the millennium, but, though its exact start date is contested among astrologers, astronomers, theologians and others, the effects of the Age of Aquarius have already been felt. To understand the nature of an age's influence, it's helpful to think about someone with that particular Sun Sign -- in the case of the last age, Pisces (the Ages move backward through the Zodiac) -- and which of their qualities most stand out to you. Over the last 2000 years or so, we searched for meaning in the skies and in our hearts and, like those with Sun in Pisces, our innocence was sometimes exploited but our hearts were also often filled with Piscean hope and trust that things would get better. Naïve, spiritually-seeking, the Piscean Age was about hope, faith and fear, and humanity was preoccupied with feeling cowed by a force larger than ourselves. The Piscean Age focused much energy and concern on the unknown, on the mysteries of faith and the fear of not knowing. The key phrase for Aquarius is "I Know," but that knowledge is not a righteous, superior or exclusionary knowledge. It's a sort of wisdom that draws people together, for Aquarians are, above all else, social animals. They crave interaction with large groups of people, thriving in humanitarian and social causes and in any situation where collective thought, innovation and cooperation are required. They tend to be eccentric and disdainful of tradition and -- while they love magic and believe in the esoteric arts -- prefer to discover knowledge through scientific experimentation and exploration. Technology is like a hobby for the Water Bearer. Aquarians stockpile all the new gadgets on the market and are at ease in front of a computer or connected to a cell phone. Sure, they're trendy -- they need to be at the forefront, in the midst of the social action, up on the hottest fads -- but they also truly love other people and believe strongly in the independent spirit. Sociable, open-minded, innovative, eschewing of tradition, scientific and technologically driven. If we extract these qualities from the individual and apply them to the world, we can see what the Aquarian Age is all about. We will loosen the ties of tradition and forge ahead in a cooperative effort to improve human relations and also the relations between ourselves and our world. We will be respectful yet also playfully, intelligently rebellious. We will admire and encourage individuality and embrace differences rather than fear them. There's no way to know where the Age of Aquarius will lead us all. Who knows what the world will be like in the year 4000? As science proves that we are all one race -- that no matter our color or origin, we are all essentially the same beneath our skin -- we will also grow, change and learn to adapt to one another's cultural and individual differences. We have an opportunity to apply the most positive qualities of Aquarius -- intellectual openness, humanitarianism and compassion for the environment -- to making our world a more considerate, benevolent and accepting place.
What does each house mean though? Like you said the 9th house was travel and stuff like that...what do they others signify?
Yes I am confused about those also.... Tenth house,etc...... Is there a place that lists it all out??
