Houses seven through 12 are known as ‘interpersonal houses” and relate to partnerships, travel, career trajectories and the communities we build and are built into. The first six houses of the zodiac are known as “personal houses,” concerned with self-image, values, daily habits and ancestry. You can think of the houses as a journey from the immediate self through the world at large.
