House IV: I feel

House IV is dedicated to home and home security.

House VII: we are

House VII is the workshop dedicated to our associations and our collaborations. It is the house of unions, marriages, contracts and everything that can lead us to bond and collaborate with another individual. It invites us to go in search of people who can complement our shortcomings.

The 8th house: we (de)possess

House VIII is the workshop dedicated to the goods that we are bequeathed and which we will inherit. She is dedicated to our transformations, to our way of going through crises, of dying to better be reborn, of destroying in order to better rebuild.

House IX: we explore

House XI: we share

House XI is the workshop dedicated to our support and our dynamic in the collective. It is dedicated to friendly relations in which we do not project such a personal or intimate part of ourselves: it is about our place, our role to play in collective projects (participation in associations, humanitarian organizations, unions, etc.), as well as our dynamics within a group of friends, a brotherhood, a sorority, or a club.

The XII House: We Abandon Ourselves

House XII is the workshop dedicated to our letting go. It closes the cycle of an entire life, represents the final stage for the wheel of the zodiac to be complete.
