The 12 Archetypes

zodiac signs, houses, & planets

The 12 astrological archetypes function within an interconnected system that’s spread between the zodiac signs, the astrological houses, and the “planets.”

For example, the first house is ruled by the sign of Aries, which is ruled by the planet Mars, and all three of these pieces (house, sign, and planet) are reflections of each other. The entirety of this system is captured in the wheel below, and in depth descriptions of each of the signs, houses, and planets are found beneath the wheel.

While the archetypes are connected, they are different:

PLANETS tell you what is being affected.

SIGNS tell you how that thing is being expressed.

HOUSES tell you where it's happening in your life.

A very special thank you to:
