T
he houses represent areas of life experience. In the
grammar of astrology, they are the prepositions (that
tell you where) and the prepositional phrases (that tell
you with what).
It’s essential that you follow the format of the blueprint
sentences exactly when working with houses. Often, the blueprint
sentences will feel a little awkward because the grammar and syntax
in astrology doesn’t translate directly to the grammar and syntax
in English. Do not alter the blueprint sentences in any way!
You can adjust the phrasing when you build the chair from the
blueprint, but if you alter the phrasing of the blueprint sentence
you will not maintain a clear understanding of exactly how the
houses relate to the planets.
The difference between the house a planet occupies (IN) and
the houses a planet rules (WITH) is critical. The house keywords
are divided into two categories to make the blueprint sentences
easier to complete.
WHERE Keywords
The where keywords define specific locations and areas of life
associated with the particular house. These are the keywords you
will choose from when describing a planet IN a house.
Additional WHAT Keywords
Many houses also include a list of additional what keywords that
are also associated with the houses. Grammatically, these keywords
don’t fit well to describe where the energy of a planet is encountered.
However, these keywords can be used — in addition to the where
keywords —when exploring the houses a planet rules. You can
choose these keywords anytime you’re addressing a WITH phrase
in a blueprint sentence.

Guidelines for Adding Houses to Blueprint Sentences
We’ll begin working with houses by considering only the house occupied by a planet. The house a planet
occupies tells you where you encounter the energies and expression of that particular planet. All this
requires is adding an extra sentence to the end of any blueprint:
He/she encounters these needs IN [house where keywords] ([planet] in [house]).
Blueprint Sentence Template for The Sun in ([HOUSE])
He/she wants to be a hero (Sun) by being
[high-consciousness keyword], [high-consciousness keyword], and [high-consciousness keyword] ([sign]),
but sometimes appears to be [low-consciousness keyword], [low-consciousness keyword], and
[low-consciousness keyword] ([sign]). He/she encounters these needs particularly IN
[house where keywords] (Sun in [house]).
Example: The Sun in Aries in the 2nd House
He wants to be a hero (Sun) by being
innovating (Cardinal), passionate (Fire), and audacious (Aries), but
sometimes appears to be aggressive
(Aries), impulsive (Aries), and
competitive (Cardinal/Aries). He/she encounters these needs particularly IN
his money, finances, and personal resources (Sun in 2nd House).
