Each of the 12 houses in the zodiac govern different areas of our life. The above chart is very basic as everything we encounter in life, every question we might have, every "thing" has astrological rulerships.
In understanding what rules what, and finding the relevant aspects, or "conversations" in the chart, one is able to glean concrete guidance to their "burning" (i.e. - important) question they have!
Following is a list with a bit more detail on what houses we look to for various information. This is the start - then we will look at the planets - in a future post.
