The Twelve Astrological Houses
The Earth sits at the centre of twelve radial compartments, with zodiac signs around the outer circle. The houses are labelled angular, succedent and cadent, and the midheaven and compass directions establish the diagram’s orientation. This plate accompanies the chapter on the twelve houses in Rosa Baughan’s Influence of the Stars; it diagrams an astrological framework rather than planetary orbits.
