Hellenistic Astrology House Meanings and the Traditional Planetary Joys

It has been over 14 months since my last blog post. Life has been busy, but astrology is constant.

Over the last 14 months I found myself referencing one of my blog posts for the Hellenistic House meanings constantly. I figured a more cleaned up version could be posted for my and other's reference.

If you found this little house guide helpful, please share it with a friend.
