General Astrology. Houses. Part 3

We present to your attention the book "Houses", the third part of the series "General Astrology" by the famous Russian astrologer, esoteric, psychologist, philosopher, writer, and poet Avessalom Podvodny. "General Astrology" is the first systematic course on classical astrology in Russia. A distinctive feature of the course is the psychological elaboration of the main astrological concepts and ideas. In the third part, Avessalom Podvodny thoroughly examines the influences of zodiac signs and planets on the twelve main areas of human life, symbolized by astrological houses. The astrologer pays special attention to the psychological and evolutionary moments of horoscope interpretation. Why are the Houses so important? "...The Houses represent specific life circumstances of a person, both internal and external. By interpreting the position of houses and planets within them, the astrologer deals with very delicate material, and here the cost of error can be very high: while people are relatively calm about discussing their character traits and general karmic programs, their attitude towards specific circumstances in their lives is much more subjective and biased; a significant amount of crucial information is repressed into the subconscious, and a completely correct interpretation by the astrologer may be perceived as having nothing to do with reality. On the other hand, not all planets, aspects, and houses are activated for any person at every moment in time; therefore, by interpreting a currently inactive house or aspect, the astrologer indeed risks making a gross mistake if he does not first get to know the person and their main life circumstances and problems, based on which conclusions can be drawn about the activity of planets, aspects, and houses in the natal chart..."
