Okay, so I was digging into this whole astrology thing, and the question “what house rules slavery in astrology” popped up. Honestly, I was kinda stumped at first. I mean, slavery? In astrology? Seemed like a weird connection.
So, I started by, you know, just Googling around. I typed in “astrology houses slavery” and a bunch of stuff came up. Forums, blog posts, the whole nine yards. Most of it was pretty confusing, full of jargon I didn’t really get.
Then, I started to piece things together. I noticed a lot of people talking about the 6th house and the 12th house. Apparently, the 6th house has something to do with service, work, and daily routines, while the 12th is about hidden things, confinement, and institutions. Some folks were even saying that these houses, when certain planets are in them, could indicate a predisposition towards servitude or, more historically, conditions related to slavery. But I want to call out that is not a one-to-one relation. There are a multitude of factors and they are not deterministic.
I spent a good few hours just reading through different interpretations. I found a few charts of historical figures, and some people had analyzed them, pointing out how these houses and planets played a role in their lives, in terms of power dynamics and oppression. That was pretty intense.
Here’s what I kind of figured out, in my own plain-English way:
- 6th House: Think of it like the “everyday grind” house. If it’s got some tough aspects (like, say, Saturn hanging out there), it could mean a life of hard labor, feeling restricted, or being in a position of servitude. It can represent low-level workers.
- 12th House: This one’s more about the hidden stuff, the things we don’t see. It can relate to prisons, hospitals, or any place where people are confined. Some folks were saying this could relate to slavery, historically speaking, because it’s about being held against your will.
I’m still no expert, but I think I got a basic handle on it. It is about how hard work, restriction, and confinement can show up in a birth chart. I do not believe it represents slavery in a literal sense but more so the nature of the concept. I would need to dive in more.
