The Twelve Houses Paperback – June 1, 2009

The book helped me expand my understanding of the houses in the horoscope. Very clear in both text and examples. Helped me explore both the fundamental and more esoteric energies of each house.

Very concise, covers everything you need to know, shows diagrams to help with understanding and it's clear that the author had such a depth of knowledge.

Over the years I've had my chart done a couple times. Now that I`ve read this book I see why I felt those charts were lacking. What you see is determined by how you see and your particular beliefs, assumptions and feelings.The way this relates to Sasportas is that I felt in this book I received a fuller vision that had humor, balance, and that took various nuances in consideration as well as a deeper psychological feeling. He also helped me see better the value and lessons of the parts of my chart I was resisting and weren`t as easy for me to like or accept. These challenges are expanded into opportunities in his vision.In addition to all this Sasportas is enjoyable to read. He`s an interesting writer whose passion gives his words momentum and life. It seemed so appropriate and timely that I happened on his work now. He`s a broad thinker of ideas and feeling and psychological nuance.

This is the best material I've read about astrological houses so far. One might know the basic meaning of houses, like: 2nd is money, 10th is career etc., but Sasportas really puts it together, explains WHY is it so, why one house is followed by another (what the particular house order is based on), etc. It really helps to see the bigger picture and understand the houses and astrology in general. After reading this book, I started to feel/understand the energy of each house, the essence of each house, what the house is actually about. I like that there are a lot of examples of real people placements, it helps to understand better how does each placement manifest in the house. Anyone who is interested in astrology, will find a lot of valuable information in this book.

Definitely worth the purchase if you're into Astrology and want to learn about the houses in the horoscope. Goes into detail about each house, as well as houses in certain signs and planets in houses.I know a lot of people want to visually see the information this provides so I took a picture of the contents page for those interested.

This book is pretty helpful when it comes to describing the basics of astrology and the houses. I do wish that it would’ve gone a bit deeper on the esoteric meanings of the houses. But if you use this book in combination with other esoteric resources, you can get a decent understanding of the true meaning of western astrology and natal charts.

This books explains the houses well! Good for a beginner astrologer such as myself

Over the past 6 years, i have been fascinated with astroloy. I have bought an increible amount of books searching for clues to understanding my own birth chart.Although I don't consider them all a waste of money (most of them anyway), they only gave me very little usable information that still left me puzzled and unclear as to what my natal stars where telling me. Then i found this book... No, this book is not going to give you half mingled understanding to what you are looking at in your chart, it is going to make it very clear and will go into an amazing depth of each house and star position. I found the answers to the deeper meanings of my chart and it has greatly helped me to validate what I intuitively knew about myself and where I was headed. Thank you Howard Sasportas for this amazing work, and may you know where ever you are in the other world, that your work continues to be a guiding light for many of us still in the bounds of this world.
