The House Connection: How to Read the Houses in an Astrological Chart

Difficult to understand

She is brilliant and another must have!

Very good book on the subject. Lots of new insights.

I read this book and took notes accordingly so I can say that I got lot of information that I never read from any books before.1. Houses, usually you will find the "delineation (interpretation)" of each house but Karen gave you insight about the HOUSE CONNECTION. She taught you to make "series of houses or Houses Chain" from houses' final dispositors to determine which house is the most prominent in your chart. The matter of that house becomes your primary concern. I have 12th house stellium so it is supposed to be my most prominent house but chain of houses can show that hose 3rd is the most prominent because the final chain of each house's dispositor(s) end up in 3rd 7 times out of 5. (Fortunately, my 12th house is still the most prominent because all 12 houses' dispositors end up in 12th for 12 times. Easy said, every single house in my chart ends up in 12th! So this is the REPEATED THEME for me.)2. Aspects. She emphasizes on major aspects first. She taught the reader to look at not on;y aspects but the house rulers that make the aspects together. Such as the conjunction of Sun and Pluto. It's not only the sun conjuncts the pluto but also 5th house conjuncts 8th. Bear in mind about that when we interpret the chart.etc.So I recommend this book to avid astrology enthusiasts. It's a wealth of good information about chart interpretation.

This book does not contain as much information on house rulership as I would like. There's very little discussion about each sign on the cusp of each house in a chart. Also, if you're looking for a light or entertaining read you may want to look elsewhere.Still, I'm very glad that I purchased this. Zondag has some interesting techniques for chart interpretation that I haven't seen elsewhere. I will definitely grow in a few areas as an astrologer because of this book.
