The houses are like a slice of life.

The first house shows you, your body, what you look like, your complexion, fashion style, gait, haircut and first impression.
Second house
The second house is all about money, credit and acquisitions. It shows your values and what you value more than money. It suggests your self-worth and self-esteem.
Third house
The third house shows your brothers and sisters, school, neighbors, local area, short journeys and community involvement.
