They had, and largely still have, a forbidding reputation as places of ill-omen, sickness, disease and infirmity. The difficulty of this task can be intuited by the way ancient astrologers regarded and classified these astrological houses. Eastern philosophy refers to this predicament of ensoulment into a human form as karma, and the journey of recognising one’s true spiritual nature as dharma. The 6th and 12th astrological houses mirror the human dilemma of how we negotiate the mundane realities of daily living, while at the same time cultivating an awareness of our more ephemeral spiritual needs and longings. They give the astrological chart structure, context and meaning and describe what astrologer Dane Rudhyar called the “full spectrum of human experience.” Often called the temples of the soul, the astrological houses fix the spiritual you (Higher Self) within the “house” you live in: your body, your mind, your history, where you live, and all of the specific circumstances and details of your life.
